EDUCATION sTRENGTHENs THE NATION

In his letter approving the campaign for the
support of the schools and maintaining of attend
ance upon them during the war, President wilson
says: That in SO far as the draft law will per-
nit, there should be no falling off in attendance
in elementary schools high schools or colleges, Is
a matter of the very greatest Importance affect-
ing both our strength in war and our national
welfare and efficiency when the war IS over. 30
long as the war continues there will be constant
need of very large numbers of men and women OF
the highest and most thorough training for war
service in many lines. After the war there will
be urgent need not only for trained leadership IN
all lines of industrial commercial social and civic
life but for very high average of intelligence
and preparation on the part of all the people.
would therefore urge that the people continue to
give generous support to their schools of all
grades and that the schools adjust themselves as
wisely as possible to the conditions to the
end that boy girl shall have less opportunity
for education because of the and that the Ma
ton may be strengthened it only be
through the right education of all its people
With his customary soundness of vision, the
president sees the national danger that lies in the
tendency of many parents to permit their child
rem to drop their studies for the attractive wages
resulting from war conditions
Almost without exception, the boy or girl who
discontinues school before the high school grades
at least, completed, is loser to incaculable
degree and the loss does not fall upon the individ-
ual alone. The entire nation suffers. The
strength and the entire future of the United
States depends in large measure upon the educa-
ton and the training of its youth.
Parents should deliberate long before permit
ting their boys and girls to yield to the lure of
fat pay-envelope. The future is more to be reck-
oned with than the present. The pay envelope is
certain to follow education, but without educa-
ton it's certainty is never assured.

GROUND IN THE DUST

Germany with peace brides is more to be
feared than Germany fighting. Adroit, insidi-
Gus and lying Teutonic propaganda put Russia
out of the war, and almost had the same effect in
Italy. This is greater menace to the future
peace and security of the world than the German
armies in France. Germany is now in process Of
being defeated. If we stop before that process
is complete, Germany will in effect come out vic
torious and the allies will have lost all the fruits
of their struggle for democracy. The supreme
duty upon the allies and America is to ground
Germany in the dust. John A. Sleicher

THROUGH THE MELTING POT

sFull-fedged Americans wearing the uniform
of Uncle sam, are being developed at the U. S.
Army environments; men who year ago were
wholly out of touch with American ideas, some
not even knowing why they were being drafted or
why they were going to fight. This is all result
of the Anericanization process applied to alien
soldiers, process which having once been hit up
on soon proved its value.
In division at Fort Riley, Kansas, there are
men from more than thirty countries. In this
conglomerate mass are included all races, all
creeds, and all manner of peoples. Some are
from Norway, the Netherlands, Serbia, Spain,
Austria, including Bohemia and Hungary; Ger
many, Luxembourg, Montenegro Greece, Italy,
L5chtenstein, Belgium, Bulgaria, France and Rus
sia; and still others from Portugal azores ISL
ands), Guatemala, Honduras, Denmark, Rouman-
ia and Switzerland.
It is instructive to read the names of soldiers
) of foreign birth or extraction which are appear
for distinguished service.
OF the thirty-fve odd men recently mentioned
in American Official Communique No 113. at
least nine bear names which reveal an extraction
other than Anglo-Saxon These names are: Hahn
Christman, Jankowski, Hartman Costumes Gar
dello Tobin, kuehlrnan, Shaminksi and Kaufman
And these men have displayed CONSPICUOUS
bravery. Their records prove that they have
shown the kind of gaIantry which is supposed to
be an attribute of the real American, no matter
what his race or native land may be-

slight bruises.
No Lights Cause.

The accident happened at the Craig
farm some two miles or more north of
the city about 80 o'clock. Gale Leon
ard, alone in his car, left Woodstock
about $40. His lights were out of
commission and he was obliged to run
without them, which was, Of course,
the cause of the accident. He failed to
see the Rector buggy until too late to
stop. Both were going south and Mr..
Leonard hit the rear of the buggy, ira
Yelling around 30 miles per hour. The
seems almost miraculous that no one
was seriously hurt. AS he crashed into
the buggy, Gale kicked the windshield
out of his caE which probably saved
him from being cut up by plass. The
car turned over twice and Gale was
pinned beneath the wreckage. Luckily
he was able to crawl out and then
crawl back and shut the engine off, fol-
lowing which he picked up the injured
Rector boy and gave his name and num-
Der OF his car to Mr.. Rector. He then
tainted and was brought to town in
car which had been following him. He
did not regain consciousness until Sun
day morning. He suffered no broken
bones, however, nor was he cut any
place. His injuries were confined to
bruises.

damages.
