Foreigners And Mexico.

England and Germany have
interests in Mexico that
run high up into the hundred million
dollars, and that property is being
injured and jeopardized by the con-
flict now ragingthere. President VIII
son has requesteda foreign countries
having interest in Mexico to keep
hands off" and leave /. to Us.
They have done so, although their
property holdings are enormously
large. As long as foreign countries
ing are show US such Difference and
such substantial acts Of friendship
there is no reason why we should
not likewise show our friendship in
a substantial manner in return.

onthe groundthat popullr education
IS a necessity, compulsory atteni-
ance BY the State IS also uStifabIe.
The State has no right to leyy and
collect taxes for q specific purpose
and then permit that purpose 10 be
defeated az the hand Of indifferent
or selfish parents.
Objection IS often made that
compulsory attendance would work
haFdsbirs in the homes Of the poor.
Is il not a fact that the poor child is
the very one who most needs the
aid Of the State to bring him into
possession Of his own' He Il is
who must soon face the complexities
9f modern life and the insistent de-
mandS Of citizenship with none Of
the advantages common to birth or
wealth. The poor child is the very
one whom the State ought to help,
because he himself IS helpless.
The argument against compul-
sorry attendance on account Of the
negro has been worn threadbare;
surely the time has come to drop il.
Some phases Of It are pathetic. Is
il wise or expedient to permit thous-
ands Of white boys and girls to grow
up in ignorance lest in forcing them
into school the aspirations Of the
negro child should be awakenedl
Shall the white man remain ignorant
in order to encourage or to compel
the negro to remain ignorantl Is il
better for white and black to remain
Ignorant than for both to become
intelligentl
Il yield to no one in the matter
Of pride over what has been accom-
plished edueationally in the past
forty years. We have planned bet
ter schools, inspired the taxpayers
to vote taxes for schools, encouraged
the people to build model school,
houses, to lengthen their school
terms, to employ better teachers
and 20 pay them be.tsi salaries, and
to make their schools their pride.
But what has been accomplished in
the way Of a substantial decrease in
the illiteracy Of the citizenship Of
what value are all our school taxes,
our elegant schoolhouses, our i'm
proved schools to the thousands Of
boys and girls who never enter the
door Of a schoolhousel"

Persistence conquers.

Nobody can go from childhood to
manhood without getting some hard
cracks. Good old mother Nature
sees to that.
In the Gymnasium that she has
fitted up for boxing matches, she
stands off and laughs, with unfeel-
ing glee, as men go down like nine
pins under the hard blows Of fate.
The man who gets up surly is apt
to let his temper weaken his guard.
The man who lies prone and weep
ing, deserves the kicks he gets.
But the man who gets up with a
laugh, or the wry smile that is not
all humor, and hits back again, will
learn after a while to send his blows
straight from the shoulder.
He will 90 about for a long time,
bruised and bleeding, laughing with
a brave front at his hurt, maybe,
but suffering pain Of body and spirit.
But if he is a man he does does not
take to his bed, even if he has to GO
with a broken nose or poultice
over one eye.
He laughs as best he may and
gets back again in the ring, anc
again and again. And he keeps on
getting knocked down and getting
up again, and going through TIL:
regime over and over.
And prestol one morning sudden
ly he finds that his muscles art
hardening, and that he is quicker
with his guard. That he is getting
fewer licks and giving more. Anc
sooner or later if he keeps on fight
ing and laughing at the hard knocks
he find himself the center Of thu
ring, with fate at his feet-a mar
strong Of Drawn and brain, and harC
to down.
Everybody likes a good fighter
and nobody better than good ok
Mother Nature, who puts a man il
i in the ring, gives him the gloves
tells him to play fair, turns her bacI
on him if he cries at his punishment
but rewards h.m # he keeps o.
training until ne can lick his adyeT
sary, by making man of him
real -nan, who can give a crack an
take one, in the strength that Ion
practice has given him. .-Ex.

One OF the great forces which

is the false notion that Children are
better off to catch the various con-
tagious diseases Of childhood and
have them over With" There are
people who. with the best intentions
in the world, stlll wIlltully expose
their children to contagious diseases.
These people, are, in large measure,
responsible for keeping germ diseases
alive. Disease germs are parasites
which feed upon human blood and
tissues. A few years starvation
would drive them out Of existence.
So long as there is neghbor who
cultivates thistles, dandeiions, etc,

impossible for the careful, in

care Parents have a right to insist

Recreation.

It is we'll to work industriously
during work hours. It is we'll TO
employ time beyond work hours in
study, self-impfovement and the
cultivation Of your fellows. But
young mans life should not be lived
wholly within these walls.
The capacity for work, for study
and for improvement is, after all,
largely a physical capacity, and to-
stand the strain there must be let
ups and natural restoration Of spent
energy.
Recreation is a necessity-not
luxury, as some seem to believe. A
tired muscle must be rested; tagged
bpin must be rested; stagnant blood
corpuscles must be made to move
and brighten; worn brain cells must
be oyerhauled.
Andwhile there are times when abb
solute rest-mentalo physicaI-is
imperative, there are also times when
recuperatiop IS best effected by coun-
ter extrcise, BY stimulation brought
in through. other mental and physi-
cal channels. Little used muscles
brought into play through outdoor
exerclse-walking, golfng, riding
straighten bent backs and timber up
cramped fingers. Always there is
some form Of physical recreation
within the reach Of every young man.
And little 8musements that mo-
menanly divert but do not poison
the mind all aid in the work Of
mental upkeep and upbuild. Recre-
alton is recreation. Learn its value
its necessity. Make use Of its re-
storatige powers. Work with will,
but do not be afraid to play now
and then.

Compulsory Education In The
Southern States.

A vigorous plea tor compulsory
school attendance laws in the South
ern States is made by William H.
Hand, State high school inspector
for South Carolina, in a bulletin just
issued by the United States Bureau
Of Education. After pointing out
that the six States stiIl without COM
pulsory laws-South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-i
sippi and Texas, and the.four States
with compulsory laws that apply
only partially, Maryland, Virginia,
Arkansas and Louisiana, are all
Southern States, Mrs Hand presents
statistics showing that although
illiteracy has been reduced rapidly
in these States within the last two
decades, they still have the highest
percentage Of illiteracy among the
white population.
The figures can have but one
meaning" declared Mr.. Hand.
They show that compulsory educa-
ton reduces illteraey.
The opponents Of compulsory
education insist that the people will
send their children to school without
being obliged to do so, if only they
are shown their duty and their OBJ
legation to their children. These
opponents declare that the younger
generation Of white children are al
ready in school. Neither contention
is true. In 1910 the twelve South
ern States had 7SS, ,6oo native white
children between the ages of 6 and
IA not in school.
Who are these illiterate white
children, and why are they not in
SCHOOL, Some Of them are the sons
and daughters Of parents themselves
ignorant and unable to appreciate OF
to understand what an education
means to their children and to the
State. Some are the children Of
sordid fathers and mothers who are
more than willing to make wage
earnefs and breadwinners Of their
untaught offspring at the expense of
their future manhood and woman
hood. Many are at work on the
farms, sacrificed to the monotonous
round Of planting crops, cultivating
crops, harvesting Drops and again
planting crops. Some are at work
IN stores and shops or engaged as
messenger boys, all at a small wage.
Many are employed in the nerve
dulling and blood-sapping environ
ment OF the mills, receiving good
wages as children in exchange fol
vigor Of body and training of mind
as men and women; while Thousands
Of others are roaming the streets anc
country lanes, the training GROUND
for idlers, vagrants and enemies to
law, order and deeency.
When the State has provided
schools for all its children, it ha,
