WHAT OF OUR SCHOOLS With the many pressing interests that are de manding the attention of the people, are we giv ing to our schools and their welfare the attention they should have? This is a matter that can easi ly be neglected, and -any neglect in this matter will be fraught with much of harm. The train ing of the future men and women of this country should not be made of secondary importance to any other demand upon our time and means. As the life of our country flows on we will more and more need that our citizens be educated and de veloped useful lines that shall tend to lift the race to new heights. Every citizen who has the welfare of his coun try at heart should take an individual and person al interest in the welfare of the schools. He should lend his moral support without which they are impotent to accomplish the desired results. And in the meantime let us see that the right material is chosen to head the schools. In this the matter of salary will play a large part. The same quality of talent can not now be secured at the same prixe as formerly. This must be borne well in mind in choosing our teachers. Economy in this direction is liable to work great harm to our school interests. o THE Y. M. C. A. IN WAR Every parent of an American soldier should give the utmost encouragement and support to the work being done by the Young Men's Chris tian Association among the soldier boys in camp in this country and on the battle fields of France This organization is meeting a human need that norle but it or a similar organization can fill. General Sherman was pretty near the mark when he gave his famous definition of war. Put ting it at the mildest, it is hard and hardening to the finer sensibilities of those who engage in it. This, no doubt, is necessary. We are told by ar my officers that before a recruit is fit for the tren ches lie must have imbibed a desire "to kill!" This also is probably necessary if they are to stand be fore the foe and give the best account of them selves. But it is precisely this hard side of the boy's na ture that needs to be corrected, not by eliminating the hardness, but by rearing up alongside of it a totally different nature a nature wherein the better and finer things of life are accounted of worth. This can be and is done without at all taking from the boy's usefulness and efficiency as a soldier. In fact, the most important preach ment of this organization is a consecrated patrio tism. But while viewing patriotism as a sacred duty, and efficiency as to twin virtue, the organi zation would have the soldier regard the resort of force as a necessity and not a desire as a dead ly weapon to be used as effectively as possible so long as the need exists, but to be laid aside when no longer required. This, together with the fact that the organiza tion fosters the physical, mental and moral care of the soldier, striving to bring out all those vir tues which go to make the perfect character in man, whether soldier or civilian, should give it a warm place in the hearts of the parents of American soldiers. So far the administration has not placed farm implements in the list of preferential merchan dise, and if this is not done, the prices on this line of goods are liable to go even higher than at pres ent. Farmers should consider this possibility and lay in all implements that will be needed for the next season's campaign. Remember the pressure is not yet removed. Another year's strenuous work is before us, if no more, and we should all profit by both the successes and the failures of the past year. o "Women in the Saddle in New York' Head line.
