CHRISTMAS-THE SCHOOLS AND
MORAL STANDARDS

Last Saturday afternoon the
writer had occasion to go to the
Berca express office. II was crowd
cu and men standing in line wait
ing their turns to be served. Were
they there for Christmas packages?
Yes, but not the kind that make the
hearts Of children and mothers glad
and ChrisCs birthday a day Of joy.
The packages they were receiving
were of uniform shape and size and
were filled not with the spirit OF
Christmas but with the spirit Of
selfishness, passion, vice, murder
truly the spirit of the devil.
The people of Madison and adjoin-
ing counties have voted the curse
uf alcohol out of their midst, but
the United States government says
that we cannot protect ourselves II
men of low ideals aud evil passions
choose to bring liquors in from an
adjoining state to blight their lives.
For three days at least this
rush Of anti Christmas business had
been going on. One phase Of the
scene. my dear teachers. imprinted
itself upon my mind so that il can
never be erased, and made me think
Of YOU.
A young man about % years Of
age stood by the counter as | ncared
it to ask a question. His package
was before him and the express
agent was filling out his book.
Can you read, Mr.. - the agent
asked. Upon receiving the answer,
No" he said. Touch the pencil"
The young man placed his hand up
on the pencil, his name was signed
and he took away his Christmas
package"
Teachers. what does this mean?
This scene here in Berea, in Ken
lucky? Why have we these long
lines of men seeking the curse, RIB
bling themselves. their children. their
homes and their communities Of
manhood and the rightful joy Of
life?
The people as a whole may be to
blame. the churches may have to
bear a share Of the responsibility,
but you, the teachers of our public
schools are the only force to reach
every family. You must be the adj
vance guards in this fight.
You may not have touched the
accursed thing yourself, you may be
strongly against it, but have you
with the whole power Of mind and
soul hit this evil? II not you are
guilty. Lose no chance to strike it
in the weeks that are left you.
Believe strongly, understand clear
ly. and fight fearlessly for a sober
community where the true spirit Of
Christmas can prevail.
Let US never rest until every
school is a center for the preaching
of personal, local, state and nation
al prohibition. Let US fight until
the last teacher, trustee, superin-
tendent or other school officer who
touches one drop of alcoholic drink
as a beverage is forever out of
Office.

Christmas Long Drawn Out.

II has become the custom TO imagine
that every ceremony connected with

was observed on the holiday itself
Nothing could be further from the real
facts. II should he remembered that
In England Of old, and to some extent
even In Industrial England OF today,
Christmas does not refer only 10 the
holiday itself, but to the twelve days
and nights Immediately following the
feast Of the Nativity. II would easily

Williams had acquitted himself we'll,
winning all OF his International matches
in the earlier rounds and breaking even
with the English holders. winning and
losing a match each. In the ilnal round
for the cup.
When the cup defence came In 1914
he was selected without question AS one
Of Americas two representatives, for the
singles. He met Brookcs. the great
Australian. the first day and made a
miserable showing. and against Wilding
the next day he did hardly any better.
In the meantime Mclaughlin defeated

doubles were lost by the defenders the
Davis Cup went with them.
Williams has improved very much ia
his play since then. however. and his

Johnston in the finals last week he was
