While much has been done In the
last four years toward improvement
and identifying grounds, II you will
travel with me through almost any
country in the State you will not
only find many school grounds not
fenced and unimproved, but during
the vacation period you will find
houses with doors and windows open
all the time. This is shameful con-
dItion.
Can we hope to have our public
schools on a nigh plane of social ben
eft when such conditions exist? Will
pupils who go out from schools with
such surrounding conditions do any
thing to make home environments bet
ter? When they become young men
and young women and establish homes
Of their own what will be their ideals

Of the best they have from the coun'

A few minutes later First officer Her.
berger sent seaman below to see
why Ritter had not come on watch.
The sailor found the second officer
senseless on the cabin floor, and the
ships surgeon was hastily summoned
to revive him. Near him lay flying
fish two feet long. Ritter had struck
his head on the edge Of a bunk in
falling. He was not seriously hurt.

shaving when happened to look out
of the port and saw too red pieces Of
fire coming at me. There was n noise
like donkey engine gone mad, when
it came in and dashed right at me, its
mouth open and teeth cleaning. 1t
