gown, carrying such lovely flowers,

Years of self-denial.
This is the finer, sentimental SIDE
of the problem. But it is view that
commands more sympathy than re-
spect. For one thing, these self
sacrificing mothers and sisters, if they
did but realize it, place greater stress
upon the symbol than upon the thing
itself The significance of gradua-
ton is not represented by the cos
tunes Of the graduates at least 1t
should not be. any more than the
beauty of gown is always repre-
scented by its cost.
While il may hurt the fine feelings
of the few it seems certain that only
good can come from placing a limit
upon the cost of graduating gowns.
Perhaps the best plan is that under
consideration in Hamilton county,
Ohio. which includes Cincinnati, where
it has been proposed to limit the cost
of materials for graduating gowns to
three dollars.

If it also secures the conviction of

.Ria Brother to the Boys.

Most of us like to boast little about
what "our pastor is doing. 1t is just
as natural as it is for woman TO
think her sewing machine is the best
one in existence. But some of these
things the pastors are doing are worth
uassing along for suggestion to other
pastors-and those VINO are not pas
tors. The Christian Herald tells the
following:
one of the most esteemed pastors
of Hartford. Conn, calls on every
new boy that moves into the ward IN
which he lives, regardless Of his de-
unconstitutional relations, to make the
boy feel that the preacher who lives
near him is a true neighbor and his
big brother" to whom he can come
for help and sympathy at any time o.
need. They say that never from Una
ward since this "big brother hve'
there has any boy been taken to TN
juvenile court or any other court.

the view of the sanitary expert of the

as to what it feeds on. They are
turning their glances into the dark
places where vice thriyes. They have
stopped holding their noses. In other
words, they are srasping the nettie.
However far it may be necessary to
walk before the goal is reached. that

to get any start at all.
