Incidentally, the children learn that their country
is the greatest country in the world Any country
venturng to dispute the claim would be put in its
place. Of all the many wrongs done to children by
bad example and by false training this wrong is one
of the most pernicious And yet, in its effects, it is
difficult to Some of the expressions beauti
full What is more charming than to hear group
of children singing, my Country, 'Tis of Thee"
The pity is that they learn to love their

the simple that in reality, those other

As l listened to this mother l wished that all
mothers could be like her. 1t seemed to me that she
had the whole secret. If the people of the world
were blessed with her spirit what vast amount OF
egotism and furnishing and competing with all the
resulting misery would quietly disappear. A multi
tude of problems would settle themselves. Most OF
the virtuous wrongs done to children would stop
We should be rid of vast amount of misrepresenta-
ton in the home, the school, in the community and
in the nation We should find life many times richer
Some of the greatest of perils, resulting from
our fear of other nations would be found not to be
perils at all The members of those nations, no mat
ter what their traditions might be their manners
and customs or the color of their skin, would be
seen as they really were human, too, with much to
learn from us perhaps and unquestonabIy with much
to give in return.

on the subject of education, have little girl about
six years of age. The other day when at their

people" At this unexpected outburst l naturally
laughed. When the child had gone to bed l asked
her mother how she happened to say such thing.
well" the mother replied, 81 think it must be as
result of the talks she and have had together You
know how easy it is for child to breathe in preju-
dices. Every now and then that baby of ours would
say something that woald show she had breathed in
a prejudice that would give her father and me

about colored man that was working on the new

color was as good as ours and had beauty of its

rolled as part of the sub-grade. Very

CAN ToU BLAME THE BUSINESS
NAN?
fBurl!ngton Hawkeyel

burlington t12WReyeJ
There Is echoed and re-echoed the
ancient complaint, to the effect that
the business man will not engage in
politics. People believe that all would
be well with our cities and towns. our
counties and states. II business men
would only run for office.
The average business man sees.
what the politician can not or will not
see, that running for office IL very
poor and Improbable business. and
that holding office is still worse. He
recalls any number Of fairly good men,
who were considered fortunate. be-
cause they succeeded in breaking into
Office" They were deemed doubly
fortunate because they managed to
hang on during term of years or a
number OF terms. il that sounds better.
Then one day the long-espected hap
pened and some other fellow was
elected. The heretofore lucky man was
dropped outside the breastworks. He
had lost interest in other occupations,
he had dropped out Of the race, so far
as his former occupation was con-
cerned, he had lost the ambition, the
energy that make for success and he
simply hung on until some miserable
little office was found for him. Hun
dreds and thousands Of good men have
been ruined by holding office. And
the service surely has not been i'm
proved by them.
The business man may have no l!k-
ing for politics. On the crher hand
business men. perhaps our very best
business men would like to place their
services at the disposal OF their neigh
bors and friends, would like to serve
in public office. would like to attend
to public business. II the people
wanted public business done in a
business like way. AS long as public
business is to be managed by politi-
clans, and as long as public office is to
go not to the man best equipped fol
that office but as a reward for politi-
cal service. SO long will a real bust
ness administration be out of the
question, and SO long will business
