SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
SHOULD NOT BE PER-
MITTED TO FALL OFF.

The United States commits
sioner of education has issued
the following:
ITO parent-teacher associations,
mothers clubs, etc.:
During the present school
year, and while the war contin-
ues, there will be many unusual
temptations for parents and
guardians of children to keep
their children out of school, and
there will be many difficulties
in the way of maintaining
schools at their full measure of
efficiency. On the other hand,
it is Of the very greatest impor-
tance that the efficiency Of the
schools shall be maintained in
every way and that there shall
be no falling off in attendance.
This is necessary both for the
present defense Of the country
and for the welfare and safety
when the war is over. While
we are fighting for the MAIN
tenance Of democracy we must
do everything possible to make
the democracy strong and eff
cient in every way. This will
depend on the schools more than
on any other one agency; and
I am, therefore, taking the lib
erty of suggesting to all parent
teacher associations and other
similar organizations that they
Immediately use all Of their in
fiuence In this direction. OF
course each association will
know of what is best to do for
its particular school and commu-
nity."

EmbeZZIement.

Embezzlement is a fraudulent ap
preparation Of anothers property by
person to whom it has been in
trusted or into whose hands it has
lawfully come. Embezzlement diff
fers from larceny in that the original
possession of the property was law
full or with the consent Of the own
er. while in larceny the criminal in
tent must have existed at the time of
the taking. Embezzlement implies
honest beginning with criminal after.

mand sauntered off.
All that afternoon the mechanics
worked at the airplanes, and by eve
ming they were in fit state to "strafe"
the Huns. At about eleven o'clock
that night the five pilots were detailed
for the following days work.
The sun was just beginning to rise
when they were walked and, after
drinking steaming coffee and eating
cake, they sauntered up to the aero
drOme.
Their machines were all lined up on
the "tarmac" and the mechanics were
giving them final overhaul.
The police gathered round the flight
commander, who was as yet in negli-
gee, consisting of an old college blazer
and carpet slippers of brilliant hue.
'We will cross the lines somewhere
about here" he said, indicating a spot
on the map in front of him, with the
stump Of pipe, "and we have the
pleasant little job Of patrolling this
area. 1t is infested with 'Archies.' and

commander hurried off to put on more
suitable attire.
Five minutes later they reassembled,

scene, when they turned their atten-
ton to more serious things.
The Arches Speak.
At a signal the engines were started
md tested. Then the machines "tax-
led" from the "tarmac" and slowly
made their way out into the middle Of
the aerodrome. Following the leader,
they rose from the ground in wide
sweeps. One thousand, two thou
sand feet, and still the machines cir
cIed round the aerodrome, until the
squadron commander far below, put
out the signal on the ground, which
gave them permission to make for the
lines.

Three Big American
Naval Fighters

WRITER in "The New Orleans
n Times Picayune" Rene Bache), in
an article on the men who will do Amer
ica's sea fighting, writes thus OF Sims,
Mayo and Benson:
"William S. Sims is b. all odds the most
interesting figure in our naval service to-day.
He is the most popular man in the service
from the viewpoint of the personnel; yet, by
curious paradox, ne was long regarded az a
rest and a nuisance By the Navy Department.
, The reason why was that he fearlessly criti-
o;sed the doings OF its administrative bureaus,

attacked our naval craftsmanship, declaring

hearing on that subject, he risked court
martial and dismissal by appealing direct TO
President Roosevelt. IL was sheer insuoordi-
nation: but Roosevelt decided that he was
right. and the excellent Runnery practice OF
our fighting ships to-day is mainly the result
Of Sims's efforts.

Another Self-Made Man

4 MOTHER name to add to the long
"A list Of self-made men is that Of John
Mitchell, recently appointed by Governor
Whitman as chairman of the New York
State Food Commission.
He was born in 1870 in Braidwood, ILL.,,
Here he received his meagre schooling,
which ceased when he was ten years old,
his subsequent education being obtained
by night study. He was married at twen-
ty-one. He studied law for year while
working in the coal mines, at the same
time, through his utilization with the
Knights of Labor and other organized la
Dor associations, gathering together store
of information about organization. This
industry bore fruit during his connection
with the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea, of which he was an organizer, then
vice-president and, from 1899 TO 1908,
national president. In 1908 Mr.. Mitchell
was made chairman Of the trade agree
ment department of the National Civic
Federation; for two years, from 1911 to
1913, he lectured throughout the country
on trade unionism. From 1900 70 1914
he was second vice-president Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, during which
time he directed the strikes in 1900 and
1902 of the anthracite mine workers. In

W bly increased. while the Allies
lave also been threatened with the en-
trance Of two more nations on the side of
Germany.
Toward the German camp Holland and
Sweden last week appeared to be moving,
following the announcement Of the new
and sweeping English embargo. At that
time. according TO a news dispatch from
Washington. the Dutch government was
reported TO have become "bellicose and
threatened to furnish Germany with

A Venerable Builder of

4 LBERT J. EARRING, now. at seventy,

reputation of having done more than any

the reason that Mr.. Earring has scrupu-

little of him or his achievements. Now
with his withdrawal the limelight Is at
length being turned on.
B. c. Forbes, writing in "Leslie's Week
w." gives a detailed sketch Of his career,
extracts from which are here reprinted;
EARRING has not merely made two blades
Of grass grow where one grew before. Earring
has made scores Of millions Of bushels OF
wheat and other grain grow where none gre"
before. lie has opened up many thousands OF
prosperous homes and profitable farms where
before only wild animals and wastes eX-

He has created more trade and traffic be

feet Of steamers he vas the means Of orgi-
