President Wilson saw a lot of his
old friends and acquaintances when
he motored in from his game Of golf
today.
Standing massed at the west gate
of the White House grounds were
something like twenty-five suffragists
from various parts of New Jersey,
who are assisting in picket work at
the Executive Mansion.
There was no sign of recognition,
however, although the usual morning
smile and DON Of the hat followed;

One night a month ago Mrs. J. A.
H. Hopkins, of Morristown, N. J., was
guest at a dinner at the White
House. Today Mrs. Hopkins stood on
the outside, looking in-such being
the fate OF the suffrage pickets. But
the doughty wife of the equally
doughty J. A. II. Hopkins, Progressive
leader from the Skeeter State, did
not appear to mind the reversal OF
her fortunes after all. With a Con-

HELPING HAWAIRS RURAL
~ SCHOOL s.

At recent meeting of the National
Education Associative a very impor.
tant address was made upon the rural
school situation, an address which has
a direct bearing upon Hawaii and
which is, in part, as follows: r..
The rural school problem as a whole
is practically one with the great
problem of Americas function in mod
ern civilization. For Americas proper
discharge OF its mission, in Twentieth
Century life depends upon the eff.
fectiveness of its educational system,
and that part of the school erganiza-
ton embraced in what are called rural
schools, provides for the training of
more than one-half of the children in
the United States. Therefore, it is
easy to see the importance of giving
to the majority of the school popula
tion Of our country such advantages as
will enable them to become worthy to
transmit the best traditions of Ameri-.
can life and thought to future genera
tons. Ample educational opportuni-
ties for all country children must be
afforded by any school system claim
ing to do efficient work. Education.
broad and deep and rich in content
and practically adapted to the needs
Of the rural community, must be the
aim. The country child is entitled to
instruction from professionally trained
teachers, and to the use of school
house4 and Fairgrounds arranged In

We. felt as If we had entered a
truly spiritual community where the
demand for high thinking and plain
living was the life instinct? There
was that shallow and gaudy America,
that vulgar and trivial America, thai
noisy and sensational America, oil
which all Europe was talking?
But as formed my first ideas
of the moving powers in the New
World in the peace O" old Cambridge,
my mind became sensitiZed for those
better and finer elements in the life
which surrounded me. | recognized
the idealistic energies even where
they seemed suppressed by the tur-
MOL, | heard the voice Of the Pilgrim
fathers through the glamor of sci.
fish time; saw them in their tremb-
ling walk with God. - ....E y
Il told him that America is not a
place to be seen, and that it can be
understood only by entering with

Let any fair-minded reader compare
our history with that of any Other,
nation, and see how we stand.
We quarreled with brothers to free
a slave whom personally we did not
tolerate. s.
We fought Spain to free Cuba. This
life and money We spent therefor has
not been repaid by gratitude even.
Our billions are going out for Eng
land, France, Russia and the World.
1t is loan, to be sure. but loan is
better for the Allies than an outright
gift Of money. They would not take
the latter.
We shall not profit materially, and
that is why a selfish, narrow business
sect in our country is opposing the
war--it hurts their--hizness.

not of the United States which. has
stood and will continue to stand for
justice and right here and away from
here, no matter what it costs.
