SCHOOL GIRLS THINK
TOO MUCH OF DRESS
A Demand For the Return of
the Simple Girls of Other
Days-SuggestiOn for Teach

the Simple Girls of Other
Days-SuggestiOn for Teach
erS.
If there is one thing more
than another at this time that
needs to be checked, it is the
tendency of American school
girls toward too much thought
of dress. Aside from every
other consideration, dressiness
destroys that girlish charm for
the loss of which there is no ad-
equate compensation. There is
yearning, a demand, for the
return of girlish-schoolgirlish
simplicity; it amounts al
most to a revolt among right
thinking men and women
against the forcing process in
fashion that influences or COM
pels the girl to dress beyond
her age, and, worse still, beyond
her station.
Miss Sallie Jones, member of
the San Francisco board of ed
ucation, has been thinking ser
iously of this matter, and she
makes the recommendation that
school teachers appear at their
posts, not in modiSh costumes,
but in wash gowns, such as neat
ginghams and linens. We be-
lieve Miss Jones is one of the
best friends the California
school teachers have, and in
this matter her idea is not to
criticize or to penaliZe them, but
to employ the influence they un-
questionably possess for the
good of the girls in their charge.
She wants to crush out the
thought that girlhood must be
linked to frills and frippery in
| order to assert itself, and she
is desirous of saving from un-
necessary humiliation or at
tempted emulation the daugh-
ters of the poor who may be
weak enough to be affected by
the untOward display of some
OF their school mates. In short,
Miss Jones is striving to bring
the San Francisco schools in
this respect up to the level of
real and self-respecting democ-
racy, and in this she is entitled
to the best wishes of the coun-
try at large Christian Science
Monitor.

A GOOD BILL TO KILL

publish the exact truth abort a
man, and if he thinks it reflects
on him or puts him in bad
light before the public, he can
write, or have written, a whole
book of lies, cover up his
crime, and the paper would be
obliged to print it all at the
publishers expense, without in
vestigation or explanation.
And if this reply, which the
paper is compelled to print,
should reflect on others, they
too could force the editor to
print their replies, and bring in,
like Governor Blease, and some
other lawyers do, all sorts of
violent attacks upon all their
opponents or enemies. And so
it would GO on, till the paper was
forced to suspend; and then the
editor would have to go to Jail
the balance of his days, because
he could not accomplish the i'm
possible.
The result would be that pa
pers would be as seriously
handicapped as they are in
Russia, and would not dare to
print the truth about anybody,
especially about anybody Of in

A LENTEN HYMN

ome Ge Yourself Apart Into a Desert Place and Rest
Awhle-Mark 6:31)
Come we apart, while with Christ to be-
A while His voice to hear, His face to see.
Long hath the world charmed with alluring art
Break from it while we may, and apart.
Apart to meditation, calm and sweet,
To quiet SttingS at the Masters feet;
Apart to all His gracious words disclose
Apart to blessings He alone bestows.
Come we apart--for we have need of rest,
With heavy burdens grevously oppressed;
Come we apart while with Him to see
What feast in this lone desert place may be.
Apart with Him! Oh, must He call YOU twice?
Does not with Him for all you leave suffice?
Is not the waste than all the world more fair
More dear more blessed if only Christ be there?
We not serve the world and Him part,
Will He accept of a divided heart
He asks for al--and nothing less will have
Twas no haf-love, half-life for you He gave.
We thus must apart if ever
Alone with God abidingly, would be;
We must be near, and penitent and meek,
We must be still, if we would hear Him speak.
-
We thank Thee, Lord, for each returning Lent,
With Thee in sweet and close communion spent;
Thank Thee for needed rest for hush of care,
For helpful hours of penitence and prayer.
Left to feeble selves might not
way to come apart with God to be;
Nor seek to come-SO cold is human heart
Blessed the Voice that calls thus apart,
. F. II. MARR.

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.

After all, morals sadly need
buttressing in all of us. We are
very much more trustworthy
when we are amongst good peo-
pie than when we are amongst
bad people. A bad example is
dreadfully contagious, even
with the best of us. And it
would not do for any of us to
live too long in the environ
ment from which some of these
poor girls have been rescued.
1t is almost terrible to think,
aside from the providence and
grace of God, of how much of
our morals depend upon the
watchful eyes of our neighbors.
