 l make this proposal to you today. We have approximately 400 mothers represented in our schools suggest that you ask each woman in this com munity to come to your aid by joining forces with you and pledging to give 10c a month toward the support of this fund
 am aware that many mothers may be found who feel that this is asking too much But, frankly, the women of Springdale came across" with help for the Red Cross, for the Army Y. M. C. A, for Soldier-boy Comfort bags, and they will respond as nobly when called upon a second time These causes were worthy. I would not be- little their importance one iota. And, yet, affirm that the greatest need of America in the light of the coming generations, is and adequate training for our boys and grls. Next to the church activities, and in many ways supplementing them, comes the edu- cation of our youth through the Pub lie Schools.

ABOUT THE SPR|NGDALE SCHOOLS.

render 100 per cent cooperation with School Board and Faculty to maintain the standard to which our boys and girls have arrived
 We'll do 1 remember an experience while principal of school in North western Iowa. One fond parent (di- rector) demanded certain rules for the government of the school. His chil- dren were perfect, as are all our chil- dred. They were the first to break the rules. The penalty laid down by the Board of Directors was meted out. Mir. Fond Parent felt that exception should be made in his case. Had not the other members of the Board of Directors and large majority of the patrons given cordial cooperation, Mr Fond Parent would have punish cd his children by taking them cut of school. Why? Simply because he de sired his children to be above and be yond the rules.
 I have related this incident because it is illustrative of the principle in- volved in the movement to which l would call your attenton.
 The School Improvement Associa- tion has been making a gallant fight for Your School and My School. The women of this community have re- sponded nobly when direct appeals for assistance have been made But the sad part of the story is that the aver age attendance is 4 members (of course the teachers are present) at the meetings of this worthy organization
 believe that you are really inter ested in this work, but. It may be that some folks say: Let those who so desire aid the work by their at tendance, by helpful suggestion, and advice.' That is just my point. The unwritten law and desire of our life for our children is that they may at tain, or retain. their present standard of goodness in all learning. But, un consciously, l think, we neglect to give a perfect cooperation in the di rection of the attainment of better things for our school.
 Ny friends, do you know what these ladies, with an average attendance of 4=persons al. their meetings have done?
 Read carefully They have made expenditures for:

, How Much Rests

Workers who are used mostly to
watch machines in operation and who
are seated and otherwise comfortable
while doing SO need no allowance for
rest. On most kinds Of work 10 per
cent Of working hours for rest should
be allowed for males and IL per cent
for females. Rest should be increased
beyond this according as the worker is
exposed to high temperatures, is sub
jected to anxiety or other nervous or
mental strain In connection with his
work, or has to do heavy muscular
work.-George H. Shepherd In Indus

FALLAClOUS ARGUMENT.
Contention That Trade Unions Do Not
Represent the Labor Movement.

Contention That Trade Unions Do Not
Represent the Labor Movement.
1t Is often urged against organized
labor that the despotism and really
oppressive features of trade unions
consist in the fact that their member
ship never includes more than small
minority Of the whole wage class for
which they pretend to speak. Trade
unions, on this theory, have no right to
speak for the laboring class unless
their membership includes at least a
majority Of the class.
On this principle there is not a polit-
ical party, nor church, nor an organ
lzation of any kind that would have a
right to speak. If we say that trade
unions do not represent the interests
and sentiments of their class because
their membership roll does not contain
a majority of the members of the class
we might say that the churches do not
represent the Christian sentiment Of
the community, for surely it Is true
that the membership roll Of the
churches does not include majority
of the community.
We might say that the Republican
and Democratic parties do not repre-
sent the Republicans and Democrats
In any community because the men,
bership rolls of the organizations do
not contain majority of the voters Of
each political faith in that community.
BY that test there could be no parties.
The argument is contrary to all hu-
man experience in group action. Rep
resentation seldom includes majority
of the whole, never the whole. The
truth Is that representation in volun-
tary organizations includes the active
spirits who voice the sentiments silent
ly acquiesced in by the rest The idea
that the organization does not repre-
sent a body because its membership
rolls do not include the majority Of
those interested has no experience
whatever to rest upon. 1t Is sophis-
tical bubble, invented by a sophist In
special pleading against the laborers,
and is applied to no other form of So
cial or political anization. Brick

1t Is now the time of year when we
must be rebuilt as to our wearing ap-

For as much as we may dread it, a
change of season is encroaching upon

struggle to keep the union label there

They ask of us, who are also con.

State regulation of child labor in
local Industries IS not yet as thorough
as the federal regulation Of industries
engaged In Interstate commerce, ac-
cording to the annual report Of the gen
eral secretary of the National Child
Labor Committee.
Twenty eight states allow children to
work more than eight hours day in
stores and other local establishments;
nineteen states allow children to work
at night In such establishments; TWEEN
ty-eight states have no regulation of
street work by children, and twenty
states have poor regulations; twenty
three states need night messenger
laws; twenty-six states do not require
medical examination of children for
work permits; twelve states have no
educational requirements for work
permits, and thirty-two states have
standards lower than the fifth grade;
one state has no compulsory education
law, and four states have only local
option laws.
'The 1,850000 working children
whose status cannot be directly affect
ed by any kind of federal regulation
present the major problem ON which
the efforts of the committee may now
be concentrated" says Owen R. Love-
Joy, the general secretary, in his re-
port. :, ,ngress has forged the tools
for an aggressive campaign, and we
have now reached the stage where by
taking hold instead of letting go we
may hope to see the solution of the
