Dear Miss Grey: A girl
inquired through your col
umns not long ago why God
made flies. fieas. etc.
Well, my opinion is that
He made them for the same
reason that He made bug
zards-namely, to clean up
things. People who keep
their beds, house ana yard
clean and keep their food
and garbage covered are not
troubled with those things,
except what comes from their
careless neighbors. You know
that worms and snakes are
apt to be found in an un-
moved or Uttered yard.

Many and varied are the factors that make the modern school and that have contributed to it's change from a narrow range of activities to a life experience. Gymnasiums. art music, domestic sci ence, manual training, libraries, exten- sion lectures, school gardens-the list Is long. Important among these factors is the school savings bank system.
 This idea originated in France and was first carried out in Le Mans France in 1884 under the direction of Monsieur Dulac. The system was later perfected by Professor Laurant of Belgium; and. following an educational conference held during the Vienna exposition in 1873. it was introduced into all the schools of France and Belgium, under the patronage waste and pauperism. It is now in use in Italy. Frances Belgium Hungary, Rus sia, Denmark Sweden, and also in some cities of England. In many parts of Europe 1t is a recognized feature of educational and reform work.
 School savings first came into use in America in 1876 when a Mr. Merrill fos- tered it in the schools of Beloit, Wis. for five years. It was permanently es- tablshed in 1885 by. John Henry Thiry. He was a French Belgian born and edu- cated in Belgium. He came to America ii 1859 and engaged in the book trade hl New York. In 1873 he sold his business

His Own Death Orator

From the Detroit News.
 Muskegon, Mich.-Although Francis M. Fowler, justice of the peace at North Muskegon for 10 years past, and 76 years old, expects to become a centenarian, he is taking no chances as to his funeral ser- mon, just having completed it himself and repeated it into photographic recording Instrument. so that at his funeral service, instead of the pastor. the graphophone will be used.
 Fowler is determined he will thus preach his own funeral sermon. He wants none of the usual meaningless phrases sounded over his coffin, he says. prefer ring brief history of his life be related, together with something of his hopes of the hereafter.
 Fowler Is noted all over Muslegon county for his fife playing. Although 76 years old, he marched in the Labor Day parade last year, playing his fife with all the enthusiasm of a youth.

In this system the principal. the teach CTS or representative from the school improvement association, simply explains to the school children the principles of savings account and encourages them to deposit some of their pennies. Each child who makes an initial deposit is given a card bearing his name and con- taining the dates of each Monday of the school year and spaces for the amount of his weekly deposits. The teacher has a roll book with a corresponding page for each child. On Monday morning the roll is called and each pupil gives his money to the teacher stating the amount She enters this figure on his card and on her book, and returns the card. The total deposits from a room are put in an envelope, on which is marked the amount. and sent to the principal. He forwards all the money from his school to- the bank.
 The first deposit is credited as a gen. eral school fund. When @ child's indi- vidual savings reach s1 or $2 the bank issues him a bank book and he be- comes a regular depositor, acting under school facilities. When he has a deposit of s3, the bank pays him 8 per cent in- terest He can withdraw his money pro-

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Some Heavy Men

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 I note in your editorials of July l where you say that Rodman Wanna makers flying boat rose from the sur face of Lake Keuka with seven men, whose total weight was 4Sls pounds. This makes them average about GIT pounds each, and as we have no such Fellows down here I am sure if they succeed in reaching the other side in safety the matter of aerial navigation will be per- manently established.
 The funny part of it was you gave those Philadelphia fellows right by the side of it such a scorcher about something they had written unwarranted about the south. I could not help but have a little fun out of 1t.
 Of course. this was nothing only a slight error in grammatical or rhetorical rather. construction. but it seems to me like I notice them on the increase of late. Yours truly, etc., T. w. JONES. M. U.

Society to Be Formed to Promote Better Under
 standing With West

Tokio, July 1.-The promotion of a better understanding among the na- tions of the world, especially between
 Japan and the United States. Canada, New Zealand and Australia. is the aim
 of new society that is to be found
 ed here by Baron Shibusawa and oth- CT leading Japanese business men. It
 Is explained that the new organization will particularly address itself at pres ent to questions arising in Australia and New Zealand. but an attempt will
 be made also to do "good work" in the United States and Canada as well as
 China.
 MT. Yanai Yarmamoto, the editor of
 the organ of the Japanese Peace so
 ciety, said:
 These days we hear many sinister
 rumors about Japan circulated in Aus tralia and New Zealand. Some Aus tralians even dream of invasion by Ja- pan and talk of a war between that country and Japan. Nothing can be more foolish and Imaginable" The plan of the society includes the creation of a membership as large and as influential as possible and drawn from all classes of Japanese. Cores pondents or committees will be secured | In the Australian states and a commit tee VIII De appointed Tn IOnuon Ine countries will be urged to arrange for | exchange visits of students, correct | possible misstatements appearing in | the press and in a general way by cor
 respondence and publicity try to elim- | mate all misunderstanding arising be- tween Japan and other countries. The proposed society Is one of the indications in Japan of today that this
 country desires an opportunity to in- crease her material welfare by an ex- tension of her commerce and industry
 which can only come by period of peace.

 have subscribed to a movement for tho erection of a bronze statue to Count Okuma, the prime minister, which shall be the largest monument of the kind ever erected in the orient. Hunda
