VISIT THE SCHOOL.

Let me say to mothers. visit the
schools oftener. Your children will
not get the greatest good from
school unless you are interested in
their work. Both teacher and child
rem will welcome you and feel en-
couraged and strengthened to do
better work because of your interest.
And you will see for yourselves that
the newer methods and devices for
teaching the various subjects are not
such folly as the stay-at-home
mothers would have you believe.
Read teachers magazine some
times you can borrow one if you
cant afford to buy it and you will
find much in it that will be helpful
as we'll as interesting to you. Teach
ing is a great work, too often it is
hindered through unjust criticism
and condemnation arising from ig-
norance. Be sure you know the
truth of matter before you con-
denim the teacher. Most stories
have more than one side, and what
is only a misunderstanding may
become much worse if we accept
half truth. Remember that the
teacher can do much better work if |
you understand each other and are
working in harmony for the good of |
each child "A Mother.

MAKE RICH YOUNG MEN WORK.

Most of us, old or young, woul'
like to have plenty Of coin. Tn
young man who has to hustle liy
ing for himself thinks that if he jus
had plenty so that he could travel
wear fine cloths, ride in automobiles
own private yachts and have pri
vate car that he could have hitchec
on to any train and be hauled round
the country, waited on by highpricec
servants and faring sumptuously
every day, he would be perfectly
happy. Well, he is mistaken. The
sons of rich men are handicapped.
They are not all bad but most of
them are either bad or Of no earthly
account.
Take the case Of young Thaw. If
his doting mother had had as much
sense as his pa, and kept him down
to the allowance of 81, 500 per annum
which the old man provided there
would have been no murder case
now on trial. If the son of one of
the Moore's had been compelled to
earn his own money he would not
have given that drunken dinner to
the chorus girls the other day
Look the history of the world
through and we do not believe that
you can point to single instance
where the son Of a very rich man
who was provided with plenty of
money by his paternal ancestors ever
invented a single thing that made
life easier or increased the output
of the world. Poor men have been
the originators of all of the great in
ventions and also of the small ones
that have proved useful. Some of
of the inventors have made fortunes
out of their inventions but they in
vented them while they were poor.
Their rich sons never invented any
thing except some new fool way to
spend the money their fathers had
made. 1t is fair to assume that |
rich mems sons are naturally smart |
enough but they are no account be-
cause they have no spur Of necessity.
It would be good thing for them if
hey could be kicked out of the pa
.ernal mansion and forced to get
Town and dig. This reminds us that
We are still in favor of the inherit
lnce tax. We want to give the sons
# rich men a chance.

Salt of the Earth.

In olden days salt was the en-
blem of purity and interruption.
It was supposed to have a sanctify-
ing influence. Christ called his dis
ciples the salt of the earth. Salt
was such serious matter that God
gave the kingdom to David by a
covenant of salt The Roman SOL
diers were required to take part
Of their wages in salt, which was as
good as coin Of the realm. Among
the Arabs to eat a mans salt is to
partake of his hospitality, and it
forms sacred bond between host
and guest. You know many man
who els not worth his SALT" and
many another who couldn't "earn
enough for his soup" A man "true
to his salt" is faithful to his en-
ployer. And he who SEsits above
the SALT is always in a place of dis
tinction.-New York Press.
