Long Commission Co. Grain Letter
Furnished by Long Commission Co.,
4O3 Main ST. Telephone No. 35O-351.1
CHICAGO, June 2S.-Wheat-The
announcement by Mr.. J. P. Griffin. on
his return from Washington, closes
the chapter, as far as trading In wheat
is concerned, probably during the
war.
Corn-Mr. Griffin's assertion that
trade in coarse grains would be unlim-
tied as far as government action is
concerned, gave fresh courage to the
bulls and frightened the shorts, which
caused a good advance in prices, part
or which was lost in the last few min.
utes. During most Of the session the
market was dull, requiring constant
support from the local bulls to prevent
an easier tendency. Cash corn start
ed strong, but lost it's strength when
shipping and industrial interests show
ed no marked interest. Crop reports
are generally favorable. A good part
of Kansas received liberal rains, and
Weather conditions throughout Illinois
and Iowa are seasonable. July corn
Is a very uncertain quantity, but the
deferred months seem in position to
decline readily.
Oats-Oats were bought again by
cash interests, and showed a very
firm tone throughout the day. They
were independent Of corn, largely be-
cause Of the rapid absorption of the
cash oats by seaboard interests and
the feeling on the part of large inter,
ests that, no matter how Fargo the
crop, futures are selling at too wide
q discount under other grants.

EXEMPTION
REGULATIONS

to be Taken for
Appeals.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-The regu-
lations that will guide the exemption
boards in singing out the men for
Americas new national army are
completed and ready today.
Within q short time President Will
son will issue them by proclamation.
Only the printing remains to be finish
ed. Every provision of the regula-
lions is edged with double safeguards
against any unfairness or tampering.
From authoritative forecast. based
upon law, 1t was learned today that
the regulations provide for the fol-
lowing general exemptions:
Married men with wife or children
solely dependent upon them.
Men with aged parents solely de-
pendent.
Men with orphaned brothers or Sis
tiers under certain age, dependent
upon them.
Workers in industries necessary
to the maintenance of the military or
ganization or maintenance OF nation
| al interest"
| Only men indispensable to the con
tinuance Of such industries are ex'
empted.
| OIuClalS OF the IeueTdl 6ONSAAAASa'-
state and county officials.
| Atfidavits are required from claim
ants affirming that wife, parents. OF
Ichildren are dependent upon them
After investigation of the evidence
boards may grant exemption on these
grounds.
The regulations fail to specify what
industries are necessary to the main
ltenance Of military organization OF
national interests, or men who are In
dispensible in these lists. The power
of decision on this point is left in 10
cal and appellate boards hands.
But the burden of proving that hi
lis indispensable to the industry" il
put upon the claimant. In most cases
lafidavits from the employer Will 81
sufficient. A unique system OF appeals
from the decisions of the local board:
has been planned. 1t will insure, it /!
confidently believed, absolute fairness
and impartiality.
/ The actual method Of drawing tn
names of the first levy is withheld
from the regulations, it is understood
but probably will be outlined In sub
sequent proclamation.

ELIMINATING CLASSICS.

Columbia University is planning a
modern school that eliminates the an
cient classics and makes it possible
for the boy or girl to get through on
modern languages and working
knowledge of arithmetic with little
English grammar, Greek and Latin
go out
And this important educational in
stitution hopes to put form through
the country over as model to be
built from, to be followed and meas
urcd by. If the classic Greek and
Latin are to go, we hope Columbia
doesn't propose the modern school
any more. 1t may be stylish now not
to study at school, but if it becomes
stylish to run off without the Greek
ana the Latin that are the very fun
damentals Of our own language, 1t is
pretty nearly certain that even English
VII not be mastered in its most nee
essary form.
Until we are able to cut loose from
the Influence ancient Rome and Ath'
Gus and upon civilization, religion
and learning, we are pretty nearly
sure that our education will be Grip
pied without the Greek and the Latin
We have been carrying in our acedem'
ic courses. 1t may be stylish for the
youngster to pass up Greek and Latin
but it will never be wise. Knowing
ether modern languages is not bad
but getting at the
origin of our own is a mighty practical
piece Of work. Greek and Latin are
it seems to us, but part of our real ed
ucation.

lie WE BUT KNEW.

If we but knew the troubles that the
people of other communities have, we
might more truly appreciate the good
in our own affairs. We could do
more We might really fel happy that
none of our squabbles develop stormy
times. Hardly thirty miles away there
is a community, thickly settled, with
a fine volume of business and outward
signs of fine progressiveness, but
there are two factons,-two church
schools so bitter are their differences.
Does the citizen, the head of a fam
lily, the mother and the father, ever
stop to think of the ncalculable harm
such a course brings to them and
their children? This community we
have in mind needs its good school
world without end, but it has been suf-
fering from a town split for ten long
years and the old scores are still the
stumbling blocks
The mothers, the housewives, the
women of that community it is said,
are the moving spirits in keeping the
fires of jealousy lighted. Oh, it is not
the old, old story of laying the fault
at the feet of the woman,-at least,
not altogether that. While we are
thus telling of the faults of the wo-
men of the community let il be re.
membered that the men, who might
have done wonders, have not put away
the differences.
The good women of any commune
their children, their homes and their
own advancement. May the good wo-
men of our community never forget
the power they WELD. May they al
ways be able to stand firmly on the
real Christian platform of doing good
at every turn, no matter whose the
glory. All of us, both men and wo-
men, should hope for the power to de-
velop stronger loyalty to our neigh
Dor and our community If we love
advancement and know the lowly and
humble step of the really and truly
good, it will not be difficult.

PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATIONS

There is no other cooperative agen-
cy so much needed by the school as
the home" declares Franklin B. Dyer,
superintendent of the public schools
of Boston Mass, in a communication
to the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation. There never was a time when
the need was so great for intimate
connection between the home and
school as at present. The conditions of
modern life are so complex. oppOr-
tunities for good and evil are so num-
erous, the occupations of the home
are so meagre unless they are relat-
ed to the school, and the work of the
school is so abstract unless it has
practical outcome in the home, that
it is imperative for parents and teach
ers to get together.
"The cooperation should be contin-
ed to a sentimental regard and re
spect of each for the other. The train
ing of each must supplement the 9th
er. Such cooperation can come about
in no other way so we'll as through or

building. of habit formation, of train

the questions that pertain to the early

lance to parents and teachers"
In several of the communities in
Georgia where the parents and teach
ers have learned that meetings among
themselves do great good. the custom
of getting as many OF the parents to-
gether as possible has been made a
permanent thing by the energetic
