WESTERLY STUDENTS MAY FARM
School conn1ee Permit High School Boys Privilege Anniversary of Nanagansett Lodge Observed- Albert C. Lonse Goes to Workhouse For Non-Support- Spargo Bishop Marriage.

At a meeting of the Westerly school committee it was decided that the boys of the high school who desired to would be allowed one day week from school session, that day being devoted to work for the farmers in this section of the state. The ruling of the com mittee states that a wrfttben request from the parent or guardian of the student is necessary. This must be presented to the principal of the school who will ascertain whether or not the pupils scholastic standing warrants such a step. There is an understanding, however. that the boys who want to do this work will offer their services not only for the one school day a week but also for either Saturday or Sunday.
 superintendent of Schools Bacon an- nounced Friday that pupils of the Westerly schools would be given an opportunity to save their pennies if they so desired. Arrangements have been made for the pupils to bring their earnings to the teacher who will keep them for each individual pupil until his amount saved reaches five dollars.

HALF.PENNY WISDOM

The two-and-a-half cent piece as an
aid to saving is the proposal of Rep
resentative Bacharah of New Jersey
in a bill recently brought before Con-
gress. He would make the United
States half-penny wise and save mil
lions by enabling customers to buy
at the half-cent instead of the cent
price.
The latest new coins, the half dol
lar, the dime, the buffalo nickel and
the Lincoln penny, received new
stamps for purely aesthetic reasons.
The two-and-a-half cent piece may be
equally well designed and be iminent-
ly more worth while. Why not have
a two-and-a-half cent piece?
What America needs is penny wis
dom, even half-penny wisdom. The
difference between the half-cent price
and the cent is infinitesimal on one
purchase, and the public hates to be
bothered by so petty a consideration,
but the present economic situation
calls for eXactness in all purchasing.
If the two-and-a-half cent piece can
aid the buyer to save the half-cents
that dribble away, it is a worthy ac-
compartment of the Thrift Move
ment.

daytime, these princes of evil devote
their spare moments betraying their

winnings against the all-unsuspect-
ing home talent.
All college men live in sumptous-
ly furnished apartments gaily be-
decked with pennants, fencing foils,
baseball paraphernalia and photos of
movie actresses. No suite is complete
without piano and a cellaret. Life
is one round of merriment in which

CREATURES OF IMAGINATION

Outside of being little unfair al
times, the impression given of the
college man by scenario writer's
dramatists and other sundry literary
lights, is amusing.
A brief discourse, based upon a CON-
posite survey, might be something
like this:
College men are of two tvpes-atb-
letes and gamblers. The hero of the
story is an athlete, who. by virtue or
his being captain of the football team
or substitute stroke-oar on the vars
ity, saves old alma mater from inglor-
ious defeat in a crucial moment, and.
by covering himself with undying
fame, wins to his heart the fairest
maid who ever trod the campus. He
and his chums wear enormous sweat
ers and his chums all smoke. short
fat-bowled pipes. He expertly strums
any sort of musical instrument in q
most novel fashion. and together with
any three forms a quartet which
sings Here's to good old Yale" with
unending fervor.
The gamblers, wicked Williams
spend their evenings faultlessly at
tired in evening clothes playing poker
for huge sums of money. They un-
falilngly fleece an unsophisticated
freshman out of his allowance for the
next six months, who, after hopping
his feverish brow, writes out an I o
U and staggers from the room. In the

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PAIN

Pain is the most evilly exaggerated
good under the sun. Physically, it
is valuable as a symptom of disease,
but the physician knows that it is
not to be encouraged. The physical
man is not benefited by pain.
Suffering has long been deemed by
the soul-physicians as necessary to
the development of the spiritual man.
Yet even the great Soul-Physician re-
lieved those who sorrowed and suf-
fered and taught his disciples thus.
Two generations ago men deemed
it impious that anaesthetics should be
used to relieve pain, since all suf-
fering was regarded as a part of the
curse of original sin. But reli-
gion conquered theology and science
taught humanity the futility of pain.
The pain of the spirit has long
been esteemed as clarifier of the
great issues of life Fullness of wis
dom has been thought to be attain
able only through the gauntness of
pain. Every pleasure must be paid
for in pain, said the moralists.
The spiritual world learns daily
from the material world, and onlv
through this analogy will men learn
that pain is Dead Sea fruit and jov
is the beginning of growth.

(From an early Photograph

Switzler can relate many interestins
facts about the advent of the Civi
War in Columbia and the havoc i
played with the University. He was
! entered in 1861 at the time the 500 stu.
dents of Missouri's state school were
forced to give over their hall of learn
! ing to the occupancy of the troops
During the years that the University
was closed, Judge Switzler served as
deputy provost marshal of Boone
County.
Since that time he has held both To-
cal and county offices. AS Judge of
the probate court for more than IL
years, he held this office longer than
amy other man except one. He has
also been city attorney and police
judge. 1t is with the bar association
OF Boone County and its work that
he has been most active. He was
president of the association from 1908
to 1913. While he has never been a
member of the Missouri legislature.
and so has not had the opportunity to
help pass laws, he has written many
for its consideration.
Judge Switzler las seen Columbia
grow from a town CT 1000 to a city of
10000 and watched the University in
crease from an enrolment of 200 to
more than 5000. When he came here
Broadway from Eighth street to Ninth
and Eighth street to the court house
included all the business district His
favorite hunting ground then was, in
the vicinity of his present home. at
l4O1 Pratt street When asked what
has been responsible for the almost
marvellous growth of Columbia his
ready reply was "the University %
which according to him was, in the
early days, and is now the main
spring of the town and its greatest
source of prosperity.
