citizenship Which 10 only another
way Of saying, that in educating our
young people we should teach them
first the art Of living. and second, what
ever art by which they are to live; that
II, that living comes before getting o
livelihood. The claims Of citizenship
are above those OF any trade or profess

vocational training. eminently good in

the chief stress upon the matter Of
getting hold Of technical knowledge az
the means Of making a living The
schools. none Of them, are teaching too
much about how to become good and
worthy citizens. how to make dyna-
mic men and women out Of ordinary
boys and girls. There is the place for
the stress. That. we think. is what Mr..
Oiney had in mind when he urged
those students to sink selfish plans
for immediate aggrandizement in the
larger purpose Of doing good and be-

We are approaching a nations holi-

In the minds Of brave mothers who

to harrow up the feelings Of the liv-

In an indirect way the high cost of

meat and vegetables beyond their

the fields and woods to gather mush-
rooms for their food. The weather was
very favorable for the growth of mush-
rooms and toadstools this summer and
the poor people had little trouble in
gathering @ plentiful supply for their
table. Unfortunately many of the
mushroom eatherers could not tell the
difference between certain edibl"
mushrooms and poisonous toadStools

persons i'm all parts Of the state have
