LIFE ON THIRTEEN CENTS A DAY

One OF the most painful effects OF
the war in Germany is the throwing
out OF employment OF thousands OF
Protestant clergymel. Their parishes
are broken up by the severing Of
families and the general movement
toward the larger towns, and they
are left without homes and destitute.
These middle-aged men and their
mnilies are thus dependent by hun
NHeds on the bare charity Of their
neighbors, or the pittance which
comes from public funds. They have
not the meager allowance Of thirteen
cents a day. which women receive
who are wives, mothers, or sisters OF
soldiers. with half that amount TOT
each child. but these clergymen-
families must exist on almost MOTH
ing.
While thirteen cents may seem
small allowance 20 Americans. we
must remember that soups, BLACK
bread, and cabbage, go a long way
10 sustain life. although such articles
as eggs and other semi-luxuries have
a tendency TO mount up in in price

AT the present time, we have in
the Receiving Home two hundred

ages from a month 10 sixteen years.
Many Of these are bright interest

BETTER SCHOOLS FOR THE
COUNTRY DISTRICTS

Herbert Quick, editor OF Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, O., writes
as follows in the current issue OF
that publication:
most of us. who live in the
country, do not suspect it, but the
country people will demand and
build up elementary schools and
high schools far better than the cor
responding city schools-not In
buildings perhaps, but in everything
that truly educates or leads forth
the possibilities Of the. young.
The new kind Of rural school Is
coming. II will be so good a school
that city people will flock to the
