ADAxS SCHOOLS IN

Especial Correspondence.)

Adams, Oct. THE first month of
the current school year of the Adams
public school left an encouraging
record. notwithstanding the distur-
Dances accompanying the repairs and
building proceeding on the campus.
The carpenter work is now complete
ready for the painters. The total en-
rollment for the month is S3, and So
have neither been absent nor tardy.
The percentage OF attendance is ss.7.
Two half days spent in the school
rooms demonstrates that both teach
ers and pupils are doing splendid
work.
The pupils seemed a little flustrat-
ed by visitors scrutiny but when
the principal ascertained that not a
parent had visited the school since
the first day considerable allowance
was made for their agitation.
The specialization is certainly pro-
ducing good results. 1t is to be hop
ed that the parents will lend their
presence often, as 1t will certainly be
helpful to all parties.

It is the exception, when close prox-

how sympathetic, how splendid a wo-

THE MAN CHILD
AND HIS Wife
BY DARRA MORE.

In many homes, mother-in-law has
become synonymous with tragedy.
And. in most homes, her presence
spells friction. Now, that the calen-
dar is crammed with engagements,
and many a man-child is taking unto
himself a wife, the fond mother-in-
law comes to the fore.
Ny little friend, Florence, who
knows everything ranging from field
OF onions to the latest IN bridge
hats, says that no mother can see her
sons fiance through clear glasses.
Her view is warped by maternal jeal-
ousy. The mother will slave for her
son. nurse him through illness. gloss
over his faults: and starve. If need be,
to furnish the boys ends. Worthless
or deserving, profligate or paragon,
the mothers heart always beats true
to the man-child.
But enter the girl of that same
sons choice, and the scene shifts. The
worshipping, sacrificing and devoted
mother is ready to do battle to save
her son from life with the Gordon
headed monster for 1t is in such
guise that her prospective daughter
in-law appears to many mother-in-
law. The gentlest, most charming
and inoffensive young girl is a witch In
the eyes of the man-child's mother.
The girl may have been pet OF the
mother but when she becomes the
crowned queen of her sons affections
she Is an intruder, an offender, rob-
Der. 1t Is the nature OF womankind
to resent usurpation by any other wo-
man of the heart that once was hers.
Few mothers are great enough to rise
above the handicap of their sex.
That she only works havoc in the
affairs of her son and herself. when
she takes so unfortunate an attitude
toward her sons choice Of wife, the
mother never realizes. 1t Is useless

to marry for nothing but the girl or
death can stop him when he Is suf-
ficently stepped in wild infatuatfon.

THE MODERN GIRL
AND HER PARENTS
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

If you ask girl point blank. Are
you ashamed of your parents?" she
would answer Indignantly, mo, of
course l am not!" and yet at the same
time IL either of them made a mis-
take in grammar or in what their
modern daughter considered social
etiquette, she would look conscious
and embarrassed.
A great many young people are
ashamed of what they call their par
ents' ''old-fashioned IDEAS"
1t is not at all unusual to hear a
girl exclaim impatiently "Oh. moth
er, you don't understand; they don1
do those things nowadays"
father puts on his slippers in the
evening and perhaps takes off his
coat
1t does not look very well to see
him in his shirt-sleeves, but she must
remember that he has worked hard
all his life and it has always been a
rest to remove his shoes and ceat
when he got home, and he is too old
to change lifelong habits, and it
Remember young man and young
woman of today, that your parents
have grown old and weary IN working
that you should have an easier life
than they.
You have had a better education,
better clothes, a more luxurious home.
You have no right to try and swing
things around to suit your modern
taste
1t is their home. They earned It,
and the fact that it cost you nothing
does not give you the right to dictate.
The daughter goes to school and
gets new-fangled ideas. When she
comes home the parlor that has been
her mothers pride and joy is not good
enough for Miss Modern. The old
things must go, and sometimes much
more hideous modern things appear
in their place.
The daughter is ashamed to bring
her friends to such an old-fashioned
place. She is ashamed of her moth
er's apron, ashamed of her father
shirt sleeves. What she really ought
to be ashamed OF is her own snob-
bishness.
The simple, unaffected manners OF
the old people are far preferable to
her self-conscious snobbery.
The girl who is part of her mother
would be heartily ashamed If she
knew how outsiders regard it.
Remember that outsiders always
think more of the unaffected old peo-
pie than they do of the pert young
sters. You haven't time in all the
rest of your lives to make up to your
people for all they have done for you.
Now is your chance to lift some of
the burden from their tired shoulders.
If you are young man you can
help your father greatly by making
him feel that you are a responsible
person, in whom he may confide and
trust.
There are endless ways for a girl
to help her mother. She can help in
the house with the care OF the young
e. cildren. Every day brings its
chances.

is too late for anything but vain re-
grets. Do 1t now,-Inland Herald.

Erdman, elder of the Welcome mission

lie and head OF the sect known as the
Gift OF Tongues. had confessed to indis-
erection with woman OF that church,

work in that city. The elders OF the
Pentecostal movement, to which our
church belongs" said Elder Erdman,
have come to the CONCLUSION that the
only punishment that would fit brother
Lupton's act is TO have him retire from
active work in our church and live an
upright life in retirement. Brother
Lupton has opportunity to do this, for
he has sent many missionaries into
Africa and these have written repeated
" to him tc 90 there and work with
them. Lupto1 is married man, but
has no childrsn. ] do not know what
his future plans are, but his elm will
not effect the future Of our church in
any way"
