THE PUBLIC ScHOOLS.-In your
article on "a Vicious Attack on Pub
lie Schools, " in your issue of June %,
you use the following language:
Il say this as the father of seven
children, every one of whom has re-
ceived ALL his schooling in the pub
lie schools, and as one who belongs
to no church at all. Also as one who
believes that nobody but parents
whose children attend public schools
have any proper place on the school
board"
No one will gainsay the propriety
of such expression and sentiments.
Any one who is not bigOt will agree
that no parent whose children do not
attend the public schools has any
proper place on the school board. If
you will be good enough to recall the
investigation of the public schools
while it lasted by the senate COM
mittee, you will, undoubtedly, re-
member the fact that Mr.. J. M. Col
Inns, at the time president of the
board Of education, was a witness be-
fore that committee. You will also
undoubtedly recall the fact that
when Mr.. Collins was Intercepted
by Atty Stein he was as asked, as the
father of five children, whether or
not he educated his children in the
public schools. AS president of the
board of education Mr.. Collins re-
piled that he thought he had the
right to educate his children where
he pleased.
The fact of the matter is, as you
know and as every one knows, Mr..
Collins entire family of children was
educated in the parOchiaI schools.
This hardly agrees with your cOnten-
ton, as expressed in your article,
Nobody but parents whose children
attend the public schools have any

OUR LITTLE BANDIT
HUNT is EXPENSIVE
Secretary McAdoo Reports U.
5. May Have to Issue Bonds.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Unless Ameri-
can troops on the Mexican border are
withdrawn and the expeditionary drive
into the interior of Mexico is aban-
doned, the United States will have to
resort to extraordinary financing
measures, such as the sale of Panama
canal bonds or the enactment of new
war tax, to keep the governments
ledger balanced This is the ultimatum
of Secretary of the Treasury William
G. McAdoo, contained in his annual re-
port, submitted to congress. Mr.. Nc
Adoo says the need for extra funds is
created by the cost of the Mexican op-
erations on top Of the expanded pre-
paredness program
Secretary McAdoo estimates that
appropriations for the fiscal year 1913,
beginning next July, will reach ST.
654,819,654
The financial strength of the United
States is declared to be the greatest
in the history of the nation. Mr.. Nc
Adoo gives much credit for the strong
position of the United States to the
federal reserve system, declaring that
prosperity could not endure without it.
