WOMEN TO AID
TN KEEPING UP THE
SCHOOL STANDARDS

An appeal to all club women Of the
United States to aid in keeping
schools Of the country up to their us
ual standard of efficiency, has been
issued by PIP. Claxton. commission
or Of education. The bulletin follows:
"Everywhere there seems to be
fear lest our schools of all kinds and
grades, and especially the public
schools, will suffer this year because
of conditions growing out Of our en-
trance into the wal. On n other
hand, both for the present defense and
for the future welfare OF u country,
as well as for the individual benefit
of the children, 1t is of the greatest
Importance that the schools shall be
maintained in their full efficiency,
both as to standards Of work and at
tendance of children.
while the war continues there will
be many unusual temptations to man.
kinds of juvenile delinquencies.
Prompt and regular attendance at
school and proper employment dur
ing out-of-school hours will be the
children's surest protection against
such temptations.
when the boys and girls now Of
school age have reached manhood and
womanhood, there will be need for a
higher standard Of intelligence, skill
and wisdom for the work of life and
for the duties and responsibilities of
citizenship than we nave ever yet at
tanned. Our schools must now be so
sustained and improved as to enable
them better to prepare our boys n
girls for life and work in the new age
which will follow the close of the val
and the coming of peace. No boys and
girls must now be neglected or ex-
nlOftad for selfish ends.
I'm all this probably no others can
be quite so helpful as the club women
of the country, most of whom are also
mothers Of children. For this reason
I am taking the liberty Of suggesting
to them that in all women's clubs
this should be made a subject of dis
cussion at their first meeting this fall
the year; a suggestion to which they
will, I feel quite sure, respond heart
lily and gladly

Annette Kellerman In Feature Film at.
 The Lyric Theatre

Ninety per cent. of the multit,1di- nous scenes of William F,ox's picture beautiful, "A Daughter of the Gods, 2 in stills, 2 or stationery pictures, would furnish fit canvases for the art gal lerfes of the world. The painter who could have conceived, set and execut- ed in oils a scene from mermaid bay, and interior of the sultan's palace. showing the bath for beauties of the harern, Miss Annette Kellermann wan dering like a lost Eve in the wood land, or the multi-colored battled scene before the burning of the Moor ish capitol, would have taken his place with Turner for color, Van Dyck for costume, Whistler for feature. Ra- phael for form.
 It is sincerely hoped that an inven- tion shall be made which shall serve to perpetuate such valuable ribbons of film as go to make up A Daughter of the Gods" Imagine our own delight if we were given to see the original models of the Venus de Milo, the Apollo Belvedere, the Winged Victory and other standard examples of an tinque are, in natural, out-of-door ac- tion in and about the seashore, the groves, the temples of old Greece! If one or two thousand years from today the descendants of what are now American school children could be shown the finn that was produced simultaneously with a year of the great European war, it would throw considerable iptimate light on the progress attained in the Twentieth Century. Who can say but what in two thousand years America, will dbe the Greece of antiquity?
 If you think your soul and senses deserve a, rare treat a journey through
 Elysians fields in commemoration of this holiday season, take yourself to see "A Daughter. of the Gods to be shown here at the Lyric theatre for eight days starting June IT. You will take home with you series of men-
 tai imagies which will life you above
