BIG TURKEY ON DUTY
!. IN NATURE-STUDY PLAN
First and Second Grades Have
Miniature Farm at Frank
lin School Building.
Gobble, gobble. gobble, squawk.

Gobble. gobble. gobble, squawk!
And then some more gobble, gobble,
gobble, squawk!
That is about as accurate pen de-
scription as may be written Of discordant
sounds which were heard in the Frank
lin School building today when a Star
reporter called there. Investigation
showed that the building had not been
converted into a barnyard. nor even a
chicken house, but that real live tur-
key, with feathers, red waffle and ALL
was Gagged in one Of the rooms. And a
live turkey in close proximity with the
little first and second graders at the
school is no everyday occurrence.
Aid to Nature Study.
The turkey is being used in conjunc-
ton with nature study work and to illus
trate the stories which are being read
and told about Thanksgiving, according
to the explanation offered by the teach
ers. When that day comes Mr.. Turkey
will not be taken home to be eaten by
children nor teachers. but will be re-
turned to the commission merchant from
whom 1t is rented. Ever hear of rent
It seems that suddenly-within the last
few days-the turkey has become the
king Of birds in the eyes Of the children
Of all the schools, and everywhere in the
schools today one could hear sentences
such as these. being read in childish
voices: 1.-THE turkey likes corn. Don't
you, Mr.. Turkey? The turkey says
In teaching the story Of Thanksgiving.
turkeys are not the only things used as
rooms are sand boards. on most Of which
are little tableaux. made with dolls and
the like, depicting scenes in connection
with this great national holiday.

On one board, which might be taken as
an example. is q log cabin. into the door

Not All in Due Proportion.
The most wonderful thing about this
farm, perhaps, Is the size Of its occu-
pant The woman reaches almost to the
top of the cabin, the chickens are nearly
as large as the horses and sheep, and q
black cat, which rubs itself against the
post Of the porch. is nearly as high as
the door. But what's the difference7
It's only a "make-believe'' land. any
way. and the children enjoy it and profit

APPEALS ARE MADE
FOR MOUNTAINEERS
Trying Conditions Explained
at s. |. E. A. Meeting.

Appealing for the uplift of the
Southern white mountaineers, ad
dresses urging industrial education as
the proper solution of the problems
facing these people. were made at the
annual meeting of the electors of the
Southern Industrial Educational As
sociation last night at the residence of
Chief Justice Seth Shepard, president
of the association.
Mrs. Martha S. Gielow, vice president
and organizer of the association, in a
graphic manner told of the trying con-
ditions under which the mountaineers
have TO submit in their fight for rec
ognition. Representing as they do the
purest Anglo Saxon blood in America.
Mrs Gielow emphatically declared
they are the true children of the re-
public. and for this reason alone. If
not for any other. their cause should
appeal to all patriotic Americans.
DR.. Francis B. Laney. of the Geological
Survey. set forth the needs of the people
as he saw them during the years he has
spent in those regions. He pointed out
the significance of the work of the asso-
citation in doing its share toward lift
ing up the mountain people. along in
dustrial lines, as the best solution OF the
problem.
The following trustees, to serve for
three years. were elected: Mrs. ]. Lowrie
Bell, Leigh Robinson, Mrs. Mary H
White. and Thomas Nelson Page. JUS
tce Shepard submitted the annual re-
port, which showed that about $1,000
had been spent in educational work in
the Southern mountain districts during
the year, and about $4,000 since the as
sociation was formed, six years ago.

vail in these countries. In information
al trade the only money recognized is
the pound sterling, as represented By
a ninety days sight bill on London.
The Englishman has long been the
pioneer in commercial enterprises in
foreign countries. and wherever he
has gone he has left an indelible i'm
preston upon the commerce of the
country and especially in carrying and
financing 1t. Therein lies a strong
reason why the pound sterling is rec
Ognized and accepted as the universal
exchange medium.
I'VE frequently hear of the decadence
of London as the financial center of the
world, and our American orators of the
spread-eagle kind are fond of saying
Inat the financial center has shifted TO
New York. There never was a greater
fallacy. 1t will be many decades before
the American metropolis will approx
mate the importance of London as a
financial center. l myself was so i'm
pressed with this fact on the occasion
OF my first visit to London, years ago,
that when entering the city l felt like
the Moslem approaching the holy of
holies- OF course, that was in my
younger days, but that feeling abides
and never visit the city of London but
that I am similarly impressed
City of Banks.
1T is the city of banks and bankers.
II is the emporium of the worlds trade,
and the nerve center of its commerce.
i owes its origin to the Hansa, of which
| have already made mention
Some day, perhaps, when our own
financial system has been improved and
perfected, when We have a scientific cur
rency system that will adapt itself to
the needs OF the commercial community,
when our banks are allowed to accept
time bills, and when they are allowed to
have branches at least in foreign lands,
when we have a central bank. a discount
market and few other things equally
necessary-then can we aspire to the
confidence of the world, and perhaps in
time We may even hope to have in New
York rival Of London or Paris as a
financial center"

WARNS YOUNG MEN
AS TO GOVERNMENT
Justice Van Orsdel Addresses
Club Members.

Direct election of Senators and other
progressive" tendencies of recent times
were arraigned by Justice Van Orsdel, of
the District Court OF Appeals. in an ad-
dress before the Young Mems Christian
Association last evening at the annual
dinner of the Bachelors Club.
One hundred young men living in the
Association building were present John
T. Kennedy. president of the club. acted
as toastmaster. William Knowles Coop
er, general secretary spoke of the bur-
den resting on the inmates of the Asso-
citation building in upholding the good
name of the Y. NJ. c. A in the city and
abroad.
Justice Van Orsdel said. in part:
Il beseech you young men not to spend
your lives in these departments. Get out
and be a part OF the life and energy of
the citizenship of your country. Study
for yourselves the great questions OF
government. Don't keep your ear to the
ground and follow the trend of public
sentiment. Have a mind of your own
I am not pessimistic, but sometimes
alarmed at the tendency of the times in
this country, the drift toward socialism.
There is tendency toward getunS away
from the fundamental principles on which
our government was established. namely,
representative form of government.
Every movement in that direction is to-
ward a weaker form of government
The next step that follows direct
election of Senators would be for some
one to suggest an amendment to the
Constitution to the effect that every
State having a million people shall be
entitled to two Senators, and every one
having more, one in addition for each
million. Hang up that bait and every
State that would be entitled to get an
extra Senator would reach for it That
is human nature When that step is
taken, you have broken down our sys-
tenn in the legislative department of the
government. and have but one legislative
branch. Our government is safe so long
as each department exercises its func-
tons Independent of the other"
