A POISONED NATION.

The underlying causes of all of the
Russian trouble are just beginning to
be understood
Golfers recently published a most
enlightening article on the subject,
called The Russian Kaleidoscope" by
Roger Lewis. who was for long time
Associated Press correspondent at Pet
rograd.
Russian is described as "a nation
drunk with liberty" the result of
which is the present governmental de-

and anarchist propaganda" has gone
mad,
Even before the war was declared.

intrigue German plotters being insid-

Then came the overthrow Of the au-

By the people to the highest Offices was
put into circulation. Foment was
brewed. Millions of ignorant Russians
were famed into rebellious fury. Sus-
Dicion, distrust, discomfort were arous-

in the big centers. Then came the

Bolsheviki is a word meaning liter
ally "tha most" or in present Rus
sian politics, one Of the most extreme
o. radical members of the Social DEM
ocratic party. Lenine and Trotsky,
formerly Russian socialists living in
New York, are the leaders.
The Russian nation is now like a
poisoned person. It's body polite has
been poisoned by German intrigue, and
IS acutely sick. Other commissions are
bound to ensue, however, until the
poison has been thrown of. Other
revolutions will come, until eventual

will not be matter of days, but Of
months and years. In the end,
though, Russia will right itself, and
will recuperate from its present ter

 MT Ychas says Russia has con- >lJerably improved political conditions in Lithuania in recent years. Former ly the holding of lands by Lithuanians was prohibited the press was pro- hibited. all Lithuanian books in clnding the bible were prohibited. . holding office was prohibited. All this has been changed Mir Yehas says and there was a fair degrec of freedom under Russion rule up to the time of the German invasion.

work which saw going on there.
But I'want to have private talk
with you, if you will promise not to
say anything about it. Will you prom
Use? All right, then this is strictly sub
rosa, inter nos, just between you and
me, Now, can you keep secret?
Some of the pupils down at Brighton
are not doing what their teachers think
they should to be promoted The Prof,
tells the teachers not to promote any
that should not be promoted. He says,
IF you do, III send them back down
stairs. All the parents, of course, ex-
pect their children to be promoted.
In their own estimation, their children
are compos mentis. But some Of them
are not making the standard required
This brings the teacher into conflict
with the patrons, for the patrons are
blaming the teachers for their child
ren's not passing their grades. ! Now,
Mr.. Super, l. don't think the teachers
are to blame at all for this. ! have
nosed around and found that these
children who are not making their
grades have either been kept out Of
school by their parents for several
months, or the children have played
hockey. | have found parents that sit
around the stores, play cards, ETC., etc.
Then, when the meal is out, the child
rem have to stay away from school to
go to mill. When children are kept
out of school for two or three months,
helping to gather the crop, do you
think the teacher should bear the
blame if the boy does not make his
grade? Then find some parents be-
gin to curse the teacher for keeping
the child after school, to try to bring
it up to the proper standard that it
may pass. Of course, this poisons the
child's mind with hatred toward the
teacher that frequently develops into
downright opposition to the teacher.
and this brings on additional trouble.
Then, too, ! have discovered that some
people are very querulous and don't
mind expressing their minds in the
presence Of their children. This brings
on conflict, ere long, between the
teacher and the pupil. At home. the
parents take the side Of the child !
against the teacher. BY and by, It is I
