I wish to go atbit further with that to-day to,- say this. . ivery boy in this city has a right to be born with a strong body. Until we bring every force and power into operation thai we can command to make it practi cally impossible for boys to be born inheriting physical ailments Which are due to social and ecnomic conditions, sometimes to ignorance on the part if parents and others to willful dis sipation, we. will continue to have children brought into the world phy sically handicapped. Thirty-three per cent of the men rejected in the draft were incapacitated because of defects that might easily have been avoided. Let's give the boy first A STRONG BODY. ' - V:,; ! Then every boy has a right to-day to be educated. He can righteously claim it, yet it is so often denied him. As the Back to School campaign now being waged by the Rotary Club of Monroe will show, this is true in our own city. Folks, let's join hands with these Rotarians who are giving their time from their business to get the boys back to school and help them in a campaign to keep them in school. Statistics show that if an illiterate s labor is worth only fifty cents a day less than an educated man or wom&ml tne u. s. last year lost bzd,uuu,uw from illiteracy. Let's give thei boy A TRAINED MIND. V Again we must face up to the Play life of the boy. So often partners tell me that the boy is only interested in athletics and he is "doing no good in school," and doesn't Want him fool ing away his time like that, I want to say that every boy has A right to have a normal play life and that play, life: should be properly directed by some one, preferably by the father, if he is not interested, then it is up to the Community to give it to the boy 1n the right proportion.- The school at the present time is the only place that it-can properly be done., Athletics today in all us phases is as important to the hoy " as study and work is to the adult. Play in fact is his first means of development and expression. So let's through tha Y. M. C. A. give the boy ?uod fun properly directed. - .." ., And lastly now -many dovs in me community have an. opportunity fur; a- boffmaJ expression-of his religious hfe-""- Permanent harm has often been done by well-meaning people who have tried to graft adult religion on boy experience. Every boy must live out all the stages of boyhood or he can never develop into complete manhood and express a normal me. it is our task to discover impossible the stage when , the , religious impulses tre strongest and develop them. - , Somebody's Taking Your Measure ; A3 you toil from the dawn of the Until the set of the sun, 1 k Do you see that your work is always, , Well and carefully done ?

In addition SCHOOL CAN'T BE MADE, THEY MUST BE GROWN By Martha E. Crowell Just now when all the schools are opening, I wonder just how many pa trons are beginning their plan of co operation? I wonder, too, just how many pupils and teachers are begin ning their plan of cooperation? I'll venture the assertion that every com. munity has said "We hope to make this the best school year we have ever had!" This is a splendid view to as sume, but the next few months will test the sincerity of the statement. To come down to "brass tacks" you can't "make" a school you have to "grow" it. Not exactly like one grows potatoes or corn, but "grow" never theless. If there is any life about a school, it will be compelled to grow. Besides, growth is God's plan for the Universe. An eminent writer once said: "God. does not make anything as a carpenter makes a bench. He grows everything. When He wants a tree He begins with an acorn. The Creator did not erect the Universe as workmen put up a shed." So pa trans of any community, if you want a good school and a progressive com munity, you will have,..to grow it, not try to make it out of any material which happens to be convenient. Such conditions can not be met in a single day, either. Yes, I'll admit that the school is a place of growth it is the mission of the school to promote the growth of citizens but the growth be gins in the home, and the school can do almost nothing without the coop eration from the homes. A great many people win say that it is up to the teacher to have ajsuccessful school. I'll admit that itr is to a certain extent, but please do not forget that the teacher's privilege and duty ends just where the patron's privilege and and duty begins. So. interested Da- tron, if you fail to do your part, it most certainly must go undone. Not I because the teacher will not do it. .but because she cannot. How can she be in forty or fifty different homes at once? No matter how conscien tiously the "teacher attempts to per form her duty, she can not have any deroe , f success without the pa tro pe pand shall I add sym then, you natrons of any want a community and a which you can justly be all" you can to help the row the' right kind of cit r; a patron says "Oh, I tmay , take all else for is in, direct opposition to of "promotion xof the bet bis community.
