SCHOOL CELEBRATION OF pays.

1t has to be conceded that there
is no better way of teaching patriot
ism than in the celebration of days of
importance in the history of the ma
ton with special services in the
schools. March 4th was so celebrated
by a few schools in the west as IN
auguration day." with bedtting serv-
ices. and this has prompted newspaper
opinion that "a day now and then
given over to observing the anniver-
sary of the birth of some great Amer
lean or of some epochal event in the
history of the country is day well
spent-better spent than in droning
constantly over the routine of the cur
riculun crammed into the pupils with
SO few Interruptions. During the
school year an aggregate of at least
one week might be profitably and APP
propriately be devoted to such exer-
cises. whose direct educational value
is incontestible and whose variety
would instructively vary the monotony
of the long school term. If there is
not room for such observanees, room
should be made for them"
The Impression Is that the children
are crowded with studies now, and
this is one of the reasons why such
a profitable relaxation from routine as
the one suggested ought to be the
quicker accepted. A good thing is
usually too good to be delayed.

1t is truth that attempts are here
and there made in human life to treat
mates and companions as ideals when
they should be simply treated as hui
man beings. It makes no difference
what love makes US appear to be to
another, we should ourselves realize
just what we are, and let no dreamy
conceptions of life make slaves of
others. Those who know themselves
and have mercy upon themselves de-
spite their faults are equipped to have
mercy on a companion despite his or
her faults. There can be no balance
without this natural conception of hu-
man relations Expecting too much of
another Is the source OF many disap-
pointments; and doing too much for
another often makes of life a tyranny
We are all human, with the same i'm
projections, and need the patient con-
sideration which we bestow upon
others.

That the progressives have won out

Congress. II this proves true. they
will displace Congressman Martin and
Burke and will affiliate with the in
