Germans talt Flag.
London, Dec. 29. Firing
by German officers on s all al
lied . automobiles carrying
the American flag was the
cause of the street . fighting
in Posen last Friday says a
dispatch jto , the Exchange
Telegraph from Copenhagen;
The Germans were defeated
in the fighting. About 138
persons, including a number
of women and children were
killed during the rioting.
iPhe dispatch says
"There was severe fighting
between the poles and Ger
mans in Posen Friday which
resulted in 38 women and
'children-and about one hun
dred Germans and Polanders
being killed. The affray
originated as 'the result of a
German officer faring on an
allied automobile which was
proceeding to Warsaw bear
vug the American flag.
"Th e Germans insulted the
flag aud the Polish guard
was called out. The, fight
ing lasted several hours jand
the GermanB were defeated.

Sne;cails them 4 'parochial"
schools. We instinctively
thinks of Roman Catholic
school when we hear the
word; parochial. --
What does parochial mean,
Webster says: "Of or pertain
ing to a parish, as parochial
duties, a parochial school or
parochial pastors." Then he
says: "Henee, limited, nar
row, provincial." Webster
defines parochialism as 4,nar
rowness or pettiness of inter
est or opinions."
Webster surely was think
ing of the parochial schools
conducted by the Roman
Catholic church when he
wrote those definitions. In
hisday people would , not
allow parochial Schools to
take the pJace cf public
schools even though popery
did demand it. His kind of
men wanted -no "narrowness
or pettiness of opinions or in
terests." They were interest
ed in a school system that is
fouuded on broad lines, tha
works to the interest of the
whole nation instead of juft
trying to build up the Roman
Catholib church to the point
whee it can force narrow
ness and pettiness on the
whole people.
