THE SELF-RELIANT CHILD.

SEIF-REIIANCE by Dorothy Garfield Fisher
Indianapol Bobbs- Merrill Company, Publishers
Only recently one of the principals Of the
Philadelphia public schools gave out that eve
have made Acknowledgements of the children for
years; why not set them a-boiling. Learning to
handle themselves and things with prompt
grace will be an education Just And
that is what Dorothy Garfield Fisher seeks to
impress upon parents and educators in the lit
tie volume here noticed and which is part of
the invaluable Childhood and Youth series
from the Hoosier house of Bobbs- Merrill What
makes Mrs. Fishers essay more interesting is
that it is in line with an editorial printed in The
Gate City few days ago advocating the
teaching of our children to earn what they get
to give useful service in such measure as in
their tender years they may give without hard
ship. Compensation, spiritual and material, is
what we all are working for, and the little
ones no less than those of larger growth find
satisfaction In reward for service rendered.
In this hurry up age, children no longer have

Cedar Rapids Republican,: Presf

The war will be over before the next

Not Worth the Effort.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Those
who have been through the mill ought
to be able to come to the conclusion
that politics is poor business to be
in. Think Of all the efforts that are
put forth to get little office for a
few years. Most men ought to be
able to make more money, if that is
what they are after, by attending to
their own business and as for the
honors of holding an Office, well, that
depends. We have noticed that a
great many men come Out of their
brief seasons of authority greatly dis
honored, or at least disfigured.

WOMEN AND THE MOVIES.

have expressed themselves as fearful that wom-
en- would be prime movers in making censor
ship futile and unjust handling of popular
amusement enterprise. 1t seems they were mis-
taken. No more sensible words have beer
spoken or written about this matter than those
heard at the recent federation meeting in New
York, and the determination of the federation
to adopt constructive platform in relation to
censorship is wise and well planned. Women g
clubs the country are urged to appoint
committees which shall act in conjunction with
constituted bodies to pass upon current films
The program for such committees which is sug-
gested is modelled on the procedure of the ma
tional board Of censorship and its salient fea-
ture is the promotion of good pictures; its mega
tive action is restricted to condemnation, dras-
tic and immediate, of any picture found really
immoral; it is urged that questions of taste be
strictly let alone. This is sensible and the In
fIuence of the women's clubs Of the country il
exerted along this line should be helpful III

Today's dispatches indicate that
the news of the blight and rust which
Is dwindling down the Dakotas wheat
crop, has finally reached Chicago and
that wheat has jumped several cents
a busheI. ~.' "
In giving this information to prom
nent farmer today, he said, IF I am
not mistaken that three or four cents
Jump is just the beginning of a gen.
eral advance, as news begins to sim
mer through of the shortage. In all
my years in North Dakota, do not re-
member year like this, when every.
thing gave so much of promise, and
when in the last three weeks condi.
tons worked such damage.
"The crop this year will be better
than 1910 and 1911, the two years
which stand out as notable crop fail
ures, but even if the wheat was no
better than in those years, the thous-
ands of farmers who have stock
dairy herds and hogs who learned the
lesson of Investigation in those
years are not losing any sleep over
the blighting of hopes for big wheat
crop this year. Their cows and hogs
together with the big crop of 1916
have put them on easy street. All of
which goes to prove that this section
of the country is arriving, and that we
may expect as good business year
in 1917 as We have enjoyed in 1916"
