Commissioner Claxton's Address.

Without democracy in education, de-
clared Commissioner Claxton, in his ad-
dress TO the graduates, nothing else is
possible in democracy. We must let no
fragment of humanity slip through our
hands. II is the duty of education to see
that there shall be no waif of child, an
abandoned woman or useless man in this
whole broad land
The modern school is terribly COM
pick thing. When all the children come
into the schools we shall adapt our
courses to every child. We have hitherto
considered the dull child not capable of
much education and let him slide through
school as best he might, but now we be-
gin to see that the dull child is the one
that deserves our best care. Every child.
of every color, of every race must have
an equal chance.
For We have learned in these recent
years that there is only one way to gov
eTn people, and that is through the
schoolroom. Our modern democracy must
mean directing brain behind every pair
of hands. We are learning more and
more that ours is government by popu-
lar sentiment, and. therefore, for the first
time in the history of the world we are
sending all the children into the school
house.

Equality of Opportunity.

In the old days education was for a
certain class and for a privileged few,
but nowadays it has become necessary
for us to fit all of the children to do all
of the work of the world. This brings
about democracy OF education-and de-
lnocracy, in my opinion, simply means
equality of opportunity
The sehoolhouse' continued the
commissioner, is where democracy
inds its center. If there be any pro-
.ession that is little more important
shan another. l think it must be the
profession of teaching. 1t belongs
With the great altruistic professions
The teacher DEALS with little chill
dren - when the human plant is de-
.ermining what all the other expert
.nces of life shall mean to 1t, when
L is as the tender plant in the hands
Of the gardener. The most difficult
task man or woman ever set their
land to is teaching. 1t is a profession

The straightforward story of sew
enteen-year-o Catherine Hermes of

be warning to other girls. Gather
ines wise mother would not let her go !
to a public ball, and this she knew very
well. She was trusted in company with !
another girl to visit her aunt in the |
city, and submitted to the temptation
to go with the other girl to dance at
the Auditorium. There she was intro
duced to Sweeney, dancing with him
till it was nearly time for the last car
to her home. In his company she |
drank q gin rickey in downtown sa-
loon. She had taken steps that have
led many girls to destruction. When |
the final test of her virtue came in the |
lonely street at Cudahy long after mid |
night she fought tiercely and success
fully to save herself from further deg |
radiation, but at the expense of a hui
man life. Her experience should be a
warning to girls and should put moth |
ers more than ever on guard. Milwau-

Go if you will to large city and
watch the big business men and capital
lists as they eagerly tear off the wrap
per from the little paper from their old
home town. The big city daily is for
gotten until the last item of interest is
read in the ''home" paper
Write often" are the last words
those men uttered as they boarded the
train that took them away from the
scenes of their boyhood days and hur-
ried them miles away to the city, where
they made good.
However, their friends at home did
not write often, and the boys who
wanted news from the home town sub.
scribed for the little paper Each week
it tells them of the fortunes and mis-
fortunes Of their old friends. They
keep posted on the towns growth, the
removal Of people by death or other
wise. They are familiar with the last
weddings and births, in fact hundreds
of little items Of interest creep into tht
newspaper, that letters from home
would never contain.
If you have friend, brother, sister
son or daughter away from home bat
ting for a livelihood among strangers
you can cast ray Of sunshine in thei
path each week by sending them thu
modest little home newspaper Tr. i
