EDUCATION IN THRIFT

N
 A committee on thrift education is to make a report to the meeting. of the National Education Association at it's convention at New York the first week of July. The chairman of the committee Reports that it is astonish- ing how the idea of thrift has been spreading in school circles during the past few months.
 Thrift is an art that can be taught in schools as well as Npenmanship or drawing. People who grew up with out this training, consider only the amount of money that is burning a hole in their pockets at a given mo- rnent. If they have $10 in their purses, they feel rich and spend 1t until it is gone, without any idea of the relation between these expenses and their total income If they have a bill of $20 to be paid the next week, that dfsagreeable fact is deliberately forgotten.
 The host of people who on reaching middle life have accumulated no cap ital and no provision for misfortune are an object lesson of thriftlessness. Of course their failure may have been due to sickness, accident, or other mis- chances they were not to blame for. Or they may have been so poorly ed ucated at the start that they may never have-been able to earn a living wage. But people who have had fair health and fair pay have only them selves to blame, if on reaching middle life they have not some reserve.
 The National Education association does well to take up so vital a part of training for life. The idea should

.LORDSHIP SCHOOL HOLDS ITS FIRST
 COMMENCEMENT
Children Entertain With Songs, Dances and Panto-
 mime Exhibition.

The first annual commencement ex- ercises of the Lordship graded school which was established last September through the efforts of the I.ordsIdp Wilkenda Land Co.,. and the progress iveness of the Stratford school board was held yesterday afternoon in the Lordship Casino.
 Under the direction of Miss Natalie Coulter, who had guided the destinies of the Lordship children during the school year and in the, presence of a large gathering of parents and friends, the little school children very creditably executed a program Of songs, dances and recitations. Miss Coulter opened the exercises with a few well chosen remarks expressing her satisfaction with the progress of the children and thanking the parents for their who1e-hearted cooperation. She announced that the entire class had successfully finished this year Of school and passed the examinations.
 After the exercises a reception was rendered the parents and friends by Miss Coulter and the children. Ice cream and cake was informally serv- ed and fa1ors distributed with the compliments of their teacher. The children in turn presented their teach CT with an ivory lion standing about ,12 inches.
 The following program was enter taining1y and cleverly rendered and the teacher received the unstinted praise of all present:
 Song, Greeting to Parents and Friends. entire class; sa1utatory ad- dress. David Larsen; folk dance, Nina and Olive Phe1an; recitation, Gladys Olinder; recitation, Mildred Penney; song, Gertrude Reynolds; folk dance, Gertrude Reynolds and Olive Phelan: song, Bye Baby Bunting Evelyn Edge. Olive PheIan. Buelah Morgan and Rose Lavecque; recitation, Claire Phelan; song My Cuckoo Clock, ,'' Bue1ah Morgan; recitation. Ernest Le Meres; Pantomine Play, by Fourth Grade pupils.
 The story of the play was read by Claire Phe1an and her enunciation and delivery was a credit not only to her self but also to her teacher. The folk dancing of Gertrude Reynolds, Nina and Olive Phe1an, deserves spe- cia1 mention as the tots kept perfect time to the accompanying grapho- phone. The exercises closed with a salute to the flag by the children while singing My Country Iris of Thee.''

A WIFE FOR THE N
 PRINCE OF WALES

Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David. Prince Of Wales, will celebrate his twenty-sec- ond birthday today, and the ques- ton of d wife for the young royal sol- dier and heir to the throne is now being widely discussed in England. Be- fore the war the names of several German princesses were often linked with that of the British heir, but all such matrimonial projects, if ever seri- ous1y held, have been abandoned. Dame Rumor is now busy. with the names of the Grand Duchess Olga, eldest daughter of the Czar of Rus sia. and Princess Yolanda, eldest daughter of King Victor Emmanuel, as possible brides of the Prince of Wales. If an early marriage is deem- ed desirable, the Czar's daughter is be twenty -one in November, and is, in the old English phrase, wife old. ,, The Beautiful little Italian princess and that is no mere phrase, for Yo- landa is really strikingly beautif uI- was fifteen on the first day of this fore she would be considered a pos sib1e candidate for matrimony, under the royal standards which now pre- vail in Europe. As the Prince would then be twenty-five, 9 desirable age for a bridegroom, it is not at all inn probable that the fair Yolanda will be the chosen one. She is a much prettier girl than Grand Duchess Olga, although the latter is far from home 1y, and has demonstrated by her de- voted services as a war nurse that she is a girl with true womanly in- stincts. The Czar's daughter! like the British heir, is quiet and unassum- ing by nature, and the two would doubtless make a congenia1 pair. The Grand Duchess Olga and her sisters all speak English without trace of an accent, and Olga is thoroughly fa- niliar with English history and lit erature, for which she is said to have a special fondness.
 The Prince of Wales has spent much time at the front in the last year, and on several occasions hei has been under fire. The service has been of great benefit to him physically, and he is now far more robust and healthy in appearance than before he began his military service. The Prince has always been fond of athletics, es- peciaIly boxing and football, and he has demonstrated that he possesses staying power by hiking twenty five miles a day without apparent fatigue. The Prince was recently initiated as a. Mason, thus perpetuating the tinti- mate association between the British royal family and Masonry which has existed for a century and, a half.

KITGE1ENER'S BIRTHDAY

If he had lived until tomorrow, Earl
 Kitchener of Kpartum would have
 attained his sixty-sfxth birthday. as he was born on June 24, 1850, at Bal
 ly1ongford, in County Kerry The
 tragic and sudden end of Britain's s
 war chief has siYenced all the voices
 of criticism. and already the name of
 Kitchener of rKhartu1n, has become
 ershrined in the hearts of Eng1ishnnen
 as standing for one of the nations
 greatest heroes Tn time to come it
 is likely that a Kitchener monument in London will become the center for
 an annual remembrance of Kitch-
 ener's birthday. Of all the tributes
 paid to Kitchener since his death and some of the foremost writers of
 England have joined in singing his
 prafsesHperhaps few have given as
 true an insight into his character as did the late O. Henry in one of his shirt stories. The gifted American author pictured a New York shop girl, who lived in a tenement and eked out an existence \ on a scanty wage, deprived of all the pleasures which are the right of youth. Con-
 stantly tempted to turn aside from the path of virtue, the girl was often on the point of yielding, but on the trait of Kitchener and his stern, un- leompromising vtsage always bade her to fight on. Kitchener was her hero, the god of her girlish imagination, her chosen leader in her battles against the forces of vice It was an
 off conceit, that of O. Henry, but he could not have chosen a better hero
 for his heroine. A man of stern re- solve, who mapped out a. course, and
 held to it in spite of all temptations and distractions, unbehding. inf1exi- ble, Spartan-such was the Kitchener of o. Henry's concept.
