The Goggin fund was started at a
meeting of the Teachers Federation
when the teachers saw that in case
the Loeb rule should be upheld some
where the Teachers Federation
would be forced to discontinue the
salary Of Miss Haley.
1t is a memorial of the death of
Catherine Goggin, killed by fender
less motor truck of Marshall Field &
Co., the biggest State street store.
The same store had fought law
which provided a fender for motor
trucks until the chief of police would
not enforce it.
Victor Olander, secretary of the
Federation of Labor, answered LOeb's
statement in this manner:
'In the past, except for the aid
given by the teachers organizations,
the labor unions of the state have
been practically alone in the fight to
prevent the strangIing of the public
school system. Let such persons as
have permitted themselves to be mis-
led by Mr.. Loeb and his cohorts try
to disproVe that assertion. l think
their eyes will be opened"

FORCE IN THE COMMUNITY
Generally Recognized for Strong
Parsonage He Is.

There is a gift of CAB" and there
Classics somewhere under four head
ings: Those who say nothing because
they have nothing to say; those who
have nothing to say, but say it; those
who have something to say and say
1t, and those who say nothing in spite
Of having something to say. The last
named are rare, says a writer In the
Boston Globe. It behooves those who
have the gift of CAB, to strive for the
talent for silence" and those who
have the talent for silence" to try to
acquire some gift of gab."
But better thousand gabblers than
the silence Of one cold, cunning man
who encouraged ardent and generous
people to do all the talking in order
that he may conceal his cards while
they show theirs. That silence is COM
mon among men whom authority and
wealth have made crafty.
Character speaks a language of its
own. The silent man does not need
to speak In order to make himself
heard. We sense" his opinions and
dread his silent disapproval more than
open reproaches. The man
who can bear complaints without COM
planning; who can take an earful of
insult without retorting; who can en-
dure mis1udgment without fit of
the sulks-the man who keeps his
mouth shut and saws wood-he is such
a force in the community as he little
dreams Of being. It is not anything
that he does; it is what he is.

From hammock under the trees J. Y.

quick shake of his broad shoulders
strobe across the lawn. There was q
patter OF women's feet. Glenn burst
out OF the house. caught both OF Alan's
hands and shook them. Her lips opened
but she said nothing. Her eyes and
her heart were full OF welcome. Alan
felt them speaking for her. Then came
Mrs. ]. Y. and j. Y. and Nance, the
mother OF four. There arose babel
OF hearty greetings, but through them
all could be heard the rumble of the

"Sshr' said Alan, holding up his

Glenn laughed. TITS the captain, "

In the silence the rumbling became
yociferation. Bring him up here.

Nance, junior. Hes begun to swear

Alan hurried into the house and up
to the captains room. The grown-ups
followed but stopped below and wait.

the chauffeur to the barp.

Alan found the captain propped or

long journey. The captain gazed on
his own glass defiantly but ordered the
maid to set it on the table at his side.
Alan waited long for him to take 1t
up, and then he saw that the captain
had fallen asleep. Alan slipped his
drink. The captain was right, it was
tiayorless. But Alan remembered that
he had thrown away his last cigarette
for the same reason. He sighed.

NOTHING LOST BY COURTESY
May at Times Seem Small Thing,
But Il Has the Power Of Ac-
complaining Much.

Courtesy is like oil upon troubled
waters. There Ia an inevitable amount
of friction in everyday life. Courtesy
reduces this friction to minimum.
The happy outcome Of a days work
may easily be determined by CHEEKY
Good morning" at it's beginning. A
knitted brow and grudging greeting
may be harbingers Of failure in the
days work.
In the elevator, at the telephone, at
the bench and in the offlce-at every
point of contact between man and
mana little thought for the feelings
Of others is pleasant lubricant In the
joints of life. It reduces the Jar Of the
human machinery, promotes good feel
ing, adds to the worlds stock of self
respect.
1t is better to request than to com.
mand, better to smile than to frown.
better to help than to hinder even in
the smallest things. A courteous man
and courteous woman furnish the
salt that makes life palatable to the
soul.
Our common allotment Of happiness.
Of contentment, Of the Joy of living Is
all too small. By robbing those about
us of their share we rob ourselves in
the long run. Let us add to that
share instead of detract from it. Let
us respect scrupulously the small
rights of others; regard for the big
rights will then become a matter of
habit.
