American school children are
rude" said Mrs. Florence G. Nc
! Farland, probation officer of the
| juvenile court in discussing school re-
form in Des Moines the other day.
And there should be department
of manners in the public school sys-
/ tenn today. 1t is not that the little
! folks are Intentionally so, but SO
often you see little boy pass you
without touching his cap. This is
| only one of the many instances of
1 carelessness which may be found
among school boys and girls. The
/ school system is too much absorbed
in the preparation of children for high
er education. Only per cent of the
pupils ever have the advantage of a
1 college course The manifest unfair
/ ness is readily seen What we need
| in our schools Is not so much the
| higher education, but rather effective
| grounding in politeness, courtesy and
respect to elders as we'll as drill in
the essential and practical branches
of study"

pairs completed in very short time
after we get started upon them and
to reopen the house at the earliest
possible moment" Mr. Sam Harring-
