TWO.lETTERS FROM PRES. FROST
Letter No. To Fathers and Mothers

My Dear Friends:
You and have something we are
both interested in, and that is our
children.
Every sensible father and mother
tries in the first place To teach his
or her childrtl all the good things
the parent knows-to give them good
principles. and to train them for skill
in such work as the parent under
stands.
Our next duty is to have our chill
dren get all they can out of the
free school.
And beyond this it should be our
aim to have our children get some
education at a good school away
from home.
This going away from home TO
school helps in many ways besides
what the young people learn IN
books. They learn how to manage
themselves. how to get on with other
people. and get started in new ideas.
You have certainly seen the improve
ment in the boys and girls who have
been at Berea even for a few months.
Now Berea College and its five
affiliated departments, is devoted TO
the work of helping parents get their
children well started in life, and
particularly the parents of rural
districts and the mountains.
The College believes that pain
and simple living is best for all
young people and greatly desires T.
make the best education possible 70
every poor mans child. We make
great efforts to keep down expens $,
and expect those who really desire
education to be ready to make great
efforts In their own behalf.
We cannot guarantee that every
student will do well at Berea, but
we know that 80 out Of 100 do do
well, and we hope your child will be
one OF the 80.
So ask you 10 read with care tn
notices on page seven of this num-
Der of The Citizen and see II you
cannot get some share In the large
benefits which Berea is distributing.

coming from distant states to Berea

This week we are pleading the

Ambassador Reid Dies - Peace En-
AMBASSADOR REID DIES IN
LONDON

boENDoEN
Whitelaw Reid, Ambassador of the
United States to Great Britain, died
in London, Sunday, about noon of
some asthmatic trouble. Mr.. Reid
had only been sick for a few days
but it was known that his condition
was serious. Funeral services will be
held both in London and New York,
the Ambassador being brought to this
country, of course, for interment.
1t is said at Washington that Pres.
Taft will not appoint a successor but
will leave the place vacant until the
new administration takes charge,
when President Wilson will appoint.
PEACE ENJOYS
The peace ENJOYS held their first
meeting in London, Monday Nothing
was done except to agree upon the
methods of procedure. Sir Edward
Gray, the English foreign secretary,
introduced the contending parties and
assured them of the good will of the
English government in their negoti-
atoms.
At the meeting, Tuesday, the Turk
ish ENJOYS entered a protest against
the Greek ENJOYS inasmuch as the
Greeks have not signed the armis-
tice and are still at a state of war
with Turkey.
1t is feared that the negotiations
the allies have agreed to stand to-
gether on all points, and they insist
that Turkey give up all her possess
ions in Europe except Constantine
pie and environs extending TO the
Chatalaja line of forts.
1t is feared that the negotiations
will be fruitless, and already there
are rumors of meditation by some
foreign power. The United States
government is favorably spoken of.
