TEACHERS
PROTECT PUPIL
Resolution Opposes All Methods That
Seek to Invade What Are Called
Precincts OF the Home.


Fort Scott, Kan, Feb. 21.-At the
board of education conference of the
Southeastern Kansas Teachers Asso-
citation, Superintendent Armstrong, of
the Pittsburg, Kan, schools condemn
ed certain teachings and compulsory
medical inspection. The following
resolution, offered by J. w. Iden, of
Parsons, was adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That we, members Of the
board of education, recognize the need
of a greater confidence and co-opera-
ton between the teacher and the gem.
eral public. ~ IN
We recognize the American home as
a most sacred institution and the
foundation upon which is erected the
superstructure of all civil government
in this country.
We recognize our American system
of public schools as the greatest bull
wark of American liberty and free
dom. I'VE believe the public school
may supplement the home, but sup
plant it never.
Therefore, we condemn all methods
that seek to invade the precincts OF
the home and would supplant it by the
introduction of false theories in our
public schools, among which are COM
pulsory medical inspection of the
school children.
Prof. A. l.. Scott of Pittsburg was
reelected chairman for the next year
and J. W. Iden of Parsons was chos-
en- secretary.

The program for the season will be

Winchester has announced that he
will visit this parish Sunday morning,
March 18th.
This Sunday is being widely hear
aided in certain sections of the
country as go to Church Sunday"
The object is to arouse Christians,
who have lapsed, to the renewal of
their spiritual duties, and also to at
tract to the services of Christian
worship men and women who have
made no profession of religion. 1t
is an effort to give fresh impetus
to a work that is being done all the
time. Every Sunday should be for
the Christian Go to Church" Sun
day.
The services at Trinity will be in
no way out of the ordinary. Christ
longed to save Herod Antipas but He
would not work a miracle to win him.
The "prodigal son" was not promis-
ed a banquet to induce him to come
home. Had he been pursuaded by
such methods he would have left as
soon as the banquet was over. So
the Church of Christ should have too
much self respect to "kowtoW" to
Indifferent members, or to non Chris
tians. The food she gives her faith
full children is good enough for any
one else. If those we are trying to
attract are too high toned for it they
can remain away. But all who COM
| in the spirit OF that anclent prooisal'
| namely with sorrow for their sins,
with the object of amending their lives,
with the desire to learn Gods truth
and to give Him praise will find a
banquet superior to that in which the
"fatted calf" figured and they will
not need Especial music" to keep them
loyal.

HEN LAYS VERY COMPLEX EGG
Her Owner Bombarded With Puzzirg
Conundrums by His Ac-
quaintances.

Anaconda, Mont-John H. Cole of
212 West Third street reports the
prize egg Of the season, laid by one
Of his hens. AT first appearances this
seemed to be only very large egg. It
measured liz inches around from end
to end, and inches in girth.
On breaking it, Mr. Cole found an
other large egg just inside the shell.
More curious than all, however, was
that, on breaking the second egg,
third one was found inside of it. Not
overcurious himself, Mr.. Cole has not
broken the third egg. The last egg
is Of ordinary size and apparently per-
fectly formed.
What would have happened If you
had set the egg?" and Doesn't this
disprove the statement that a hen
can't lay more than one egg a day."
These are some of the questions asked
Mr.. Cole.

HER SOLDIERS ARE SHORTER
But Austria Takes More Care in Sc
Iectine Healthy Men for
the Army.

Vienna, Austria.-The new recruit
ing law of the Austro-H Hungarian
forces stipulates height of at least
five feet for men to be enlisted in the
ordinary rank and file of the terrific
rial forces or of the navy, while for
those men who will work in the work
shops or arsenals or in the offices as
clerks, the minimum height will be
one inch less than five feet. Further
more, the new requirements pay in
creased attention to the antecedents
of the men, especially the mental his
tory, and a history of previous epilep-
tic attacks or mental instability will
make the man ineligible for the serv-
ice In the last year, when, owing to
the uncertainty of the political situa-
ton, preparations for war included the
recruiting of large Numbers of men
from apparently underfed districts, it
was noted that persons otherwise
quite healthy did not reach the height
limit These would be lost if the old
law should continue in force.
"At any rate says the Vienna cor
respondent of the Journal Of the
American Medical Association, even
with the new law the supply of men
capable for service is but sparingly
drawn on, not even one per cent of
the population of 100000 being I'M
der arms in time of peace, while for
war about four per cent are available"

WILSON NAMES FEDERAL

Chief Executive dominates to Senate
Members of Body-Months Ma
king Selections.

Washington, June 17.-Charles S.
secretary Of the treasury, was NOM
mated by President Wilson to be a
member of the federal reserve board
for two years.
Paul M. Warburg of New York for
a term Of four years.
Thomas D. Jones of Illinois for a
term Of six years.
W. G. P Harding of Alabama for
term of eight years.
A C. Miller of California, assistant
secretary of the interior, for term of
ten years.
The president also nominated John
B. McGauren of Denver, Colo, to be
surveyor general of Colorado
The declination of Simmons of st.
Louis made way for Hamlin's appoint
ment after he had been temporarily
dropped from consideration.
In making these selections, Presi-
dent Wilson finished a task which has
taken months of consideration. He
has striven to have the entire nation
represented geographically.
August / is the date agreed upon
by administration officials for the in
auguration of the federal reserve sys-
TEN.
Comptroller of the Currency John
Shelton Williams has announced by
July 1 the balloting for directors of
the reserve banks IN classes A and B
will have been completed.
The condition of the banks in the
wheat belt at the present time is
looked upon by Secretary McAdoo and
other financial officials as being favor
able. The farmers in the wheat belt
already are beginning to harvest a
bumper CROP and although the de-
mands on the banks for money are
great, they are being met with COM
parative ease.
The selection of Thomas d. Jones
of Chicago merely as one of the mem
bers Of the federal reserve board
comes somewhat as a surprise IN view
of the fact that it was confidently ex-
pected that Jones would be named as
governor of the board. President Will
son, however, has decided that he will
not name the governor for somo time

In the central fashionable quarter

danger of approaching the immense
pits resulting from the collapse of
sidewalks and roadways.

BALLOT ACT FOR
WOMEN IS VALID
Suffrage Law Sustained by ILL
nois Supreme Court.
WINS BY ONLY ONE VOTE
Three of Seven Judges Dissent as TO
Laws utionaIity-SaIoons
Are Hit by Highest Tribunals
Decision.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 16.-Woman' 8
right to the ballot in Illinois has been
upheld by the supreme court. BY the
vote Of to the justices decided Sat
.urday that the equal suffrage law was
constitutional
Justice Frank X. Dunn of Charles
ton wrote the majority opinion, in
which he was joined by Justice James
H. Cartwright of Oregon, Justice Or
rim N Carter of Chicago and Justice
Alonzo K Vickers of East st. Louis.
All are Republicans.
Three separate dissenting opinions
were filed by Justice George A. Cooke
of Aledo, Justice Charles G. Craig of
Galesburg and Justice William M
Farmer of Vandalia. All are Demo
Gratis.
The justices who dissented contend
that the granting of women the right
to vote is in violation of the state con-
stitution.
The majority opinion. which be-
comes the decree of the court, holds
the Illinois legislature did not go be-
yond its constitutional powers in grant
ing the right to women to vote for all
statutory officers, which includes pres
idential electors, as set out in the 1913
act, and that the act in all of it's de-
tails is good"
By the terms OF the decision, on the
basis as indicated, the entire act is
held constitutional, including the right
to vote at local option elections and on
all little ballot" questions which are
not specifically forbidden by the con-
stitution.
The majority decision holds that
women have the right to vote on local
option questions, inasmuch as such
questions are not mentioned in the
constitution. In other words, the court
holds that on all questions and offices
provided for by the legislature that
the legislature has the power and au-
thority to say who shall vote upon
such questions.
The courts decision came in the
Scown case. This suit, filed in the SUI
perior court in Chicago by William ].

the election commissioners of that city
be forbidden to. incur expense in pro-
