If instead of picking up the cudgel of
your child for a fancied wrong, you
would investigate, bitterness in the
young heart might be erased that
otherwise would last for years. Loyalty
too is a characteristic that should early
be instilled in the pupils mind. The
parents should be in this work AL
though there may not be an outbreak
on the part of the pupil, he may fsl
into the habit Of criticism that will
hinder his progress UNNECESSARILY. This
is another subject where cooperation
is needed on the parent. Even if one
should feel the criticism a true one it Is
not best to countenance such things in
the family circle.
Zone can hardly conceive a studious,
loyal, obedient pupil out of harmony
with the teacher. Even if a pupil may
not be studious, every child can be aid
ed and urged to prepare the tasks as
signed to him.
The fathers may plead business, the
mothers house hold cares, but remem-
Der the verse in the Bible that says;
While the servant was busy here and
there he was gone A wonderful
lesson hangs on this passage of scrip
ture. The first business in life is to
seek the highest good of our children,
and it is solemn duty to investigate
and know those who are influencing
them FIVE and six hours a day. Then
too it is pleasure to teachers to be
brought into fellowship with parents
by being invited informally to the
homes. Let families form the idea of
the orientals, after breaking bread to-
gether the friendship is sealed.
II have heard manycomplaints since
have lived in Oakland about the lessons
pupils must prepare at home. But
when we consider that one grade in the
secondary department has been omit
ted Through no fault of the teachers)
and that the High School, in spite of
this lack Of preparation has still main
tanned its first grade position. it is
marvellous that our teachers can &C
complish as much as they do.
$50 my friend bespeak acquaintance
and fellowship between the school and
the home, and we will see development
of character and mental achievement
in proportion as it is practiced.
School life is a crucial period for the
young. Should not these two great
arms of protection, the parent and
the teacher be thrown about them, and
clasp in true sympathy and purpose.
realizing the future walls of our coun-
try are our children. And as the anci-
ent general said of his soldiers, each
child is brick. Let US build this wall
so strong, so true that our dream for
future greatness and world service for
this our beloved land NAV be fulfilled. "

WHOLE ATLANTIC is
NOW U-BOAT ZONE
Germany to Destroy Any Ships
Found on High Seas

The Berlin admiralty made the fol
lowing announcement:
'On March l expired the final period
of grace allotted for sailing ships in
the Atlantic From this date no spe-
cial warning will be given to any
boats by submarines"
The above dispatch is significant,
as it is the first German official init
nation that unrestricted submarine
warfare is to be carried on outside of
the zone established by the Berlin
government in it's decree of Jan. 81.
The announcement indicates that
hereafter Germany will sink "any
boats" without special warning "in
the Atlantic" ocean.
When the imperial government an
nounced the "ruthlessness" campaign
effective Feb, l, no mention was made
of a "period of grace" except five
days granted for neutral vessels &c
leave the barred zone.

ADMITS
AMERICAN PLOT
Zimmerman Says Conditions

DUTY TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS
German Foreign OHce Attempted to
Ally Japan and Mexco Against Unit
ed States In Case Of War.

Foreign Secretary Zimmerman Of
Germany has admitted in part and de.
Tended Germany's action in seeking to
ally Japan and Mexico against the
United States. The plot was revealed
by President Wilson and the Wash.
ington government last week
A dispatch from Berlin quoted Zim'
mermann as saying:
The American press contains re-
ports about instructions from the min
istry Of foreign affairs to the German
minister in Mexico City, in the event
that Germany, after the proclamation
OF unrestricted submarine warfare,
failed to keep the United States neu-
trail
These reports are based on the fol-
lowing facts:
AFTER the decision had been taken
to begin unrestricted submarine war
fare on Feb. / We had to reckon in
view Of the previous attitude Of the
United States government with the
possibility of conflict with that gov
eminent That this calculation was
right was proved by the fact that the
American government severed diplo-
matte relations with Germany soon
after the proclamation Of barred
zone and asked other ueutrals to fol-
low her example
Anticipating these possibilities it
was not onlf the right but also the
duty of our government to take pre-
cautions in time-in the event of
military conflict with the United
States-in order to balance if possible
the adhesion 10 our foes of a new
enemy. The German minister at Mex
leo, therefore, was instructed in the
middle of January that in the event
of the United States declaring war he
should offer to the Mexican govern
ment an alliance and arrange further
details These instructions, by the
way, expressly directed the minister
to make no advances to the Mexican
government unless he knew for a Ger.
tainty that America was going TO de-
clare war.
How the American government re-
ceived information of the instructions
sent by q secret way to Mexico is not
known 1t appears, however, that the
treachery-and it only must have been
treachery-was committed on German
territory"
The note which Zimmerman sent
to the German minister in Mexico
City and which was revealed by Pres
ident Wilson was as follows:
Berlin, Jan. 10, 1917.
"On the first of February we intend
to begin submarine warfare unrestrict-
ed. In spite Of this, it is our inten-
ton to endeavor to keep neutral the
United States Of America.
IF this attempt is not successful
we propose an alliance on the follow
ing basis with Mexico: That we shall
make war together and together make,
peace We shall give general financia.s

Coming al time when the country

! the gravest sort today's inaugural was
dominated by the note of patriotism.
President Wilson'S inaugural ad-
dress was an appeal for a unified ma
ton, declaration of the principles
which he declared were bred in Us and
/ avowal OF our desire for peace, but
also our determination to maintain
our national honor at any cost.
He reviewed briefly but eloquently
| the past fcur years and declaring hat
he realized the responsibilities To
which he had been called by the
American people Tor the next four
years, invoked the blessings Of Ggd
and His aid IN meeting hem.
Asserting that the tragedies Of an
| other continent had removed proyin-
/ cialism and made Americans citizens
OF the world. and that The principles
! OF this republic should be applied to
a liberation of mankind, he voiced a
/ determination thar America, standing
firm in armed neutrality" must dem

| right and freedom of action" in world
affairs
/ Peculiar interest and significance,
in the light Of his rebuke to senators
who prevented passage of the armed
neutrality bill were attached to the
| presidents assertion on this point.
