The bad effect upon poor children
of seeing some of their school fell
lows ostentatiously dressed often Is
evident even where the richly dress
ed children are free from snobbery
Where snobbery exists the situation
becomes intolerable. School is a
place for simplicity. There may be
harmless competition in neatness
but not even at exhibition time
should there be permitted rivalry in
expensive clothes. The schools in
which fine clothes for graduating ex
ercises are discouraged deserve en-
couragement, for they are in the
right
Nothing should be tolerated in the
public schools that tends to empha-
size class distinctions. Glass distino-
tons are odious, especially in a re-

The reference to graduating dres

dent which was set by our high

at her flat in Chicago last week. She
was the author of Love Letters OF

corning her domestic life is taken
from the Chicago Tribune:
THE thousands who read the
books of Myrtle Reed undoubtedly
believed that the authoress had quar-
fed the nectar of loves happiness.
But while Myrtle Reed the authoress
was penning her idealistic and per
fervid romances of love, Mrs. Jas.
Sidney Mccullough, the woman, was
nursing in secret a domestic sorrow,
so bitter and humiliating that it fin
ally unsettled her reason. A coroh

authoress' unbalanced mind guided
her to the death draft as a final
balm for her wounded spirits.
Myrtle Reed wrote affinities, ad-

from seeking a divorce and fought
her battle of domestic unhappiness

In a lecture at the First Baptist

Drake occupied solid ground when
she dissuaded well-to-do parents
from sending their children to the
public school in rich clothes In the
first place, the practice is likely to
be injurious to the character of the
children who are overdressed, caus-
ing them to bestow thought upon
their clothes that should be coneen-
trated upon their studies In some
instances they may be FOOLISH
to assume themselves superior IN
