EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
Edited by
MEDDIE L. ROBINSON,
School Director Of War Savings
Campaign and Junior
Red Cross.

Since the Influenza epidemic
has closed the schools temporari-
~, the War Savings work will be
delayed little but each teacher
will soon receive literature and
instructions for beginning organ
ization. It is the desire of the
Government that each boy and
girl get the habit Of systematic
saving, by putting by something
each week. So teachers will be
asked to keep Thrift Stamps on
sale at the school house two days
each week, SO that every child
who can may purchase them
there. All children will be urged
to belong to the War Savings So
Getty, and to pledges themselves
to buy stamps of their own or to
assist in paying the pledge their
father has already made. If a
child can only save 5 cents week
it will establish a frugal habit if
he does that; and he will learn not
to be extravagant when he comes
into the power to make larger
earnings.-Americans are the
most extravagant people in the
world, and statistics show that
Mississippians save less than peo-
pie of any other state except one,
Arkansas. Let us do Better now
that we are enjoying a season of
prosperity.
Let every school see how many
nuts can be gathered by them for
the Junior Red Cross. Keep in
the school room a box or bag to
receive them and once month
send them to Brandon to the Red
Cross Work Room to be forward
ed to headquarters. 200 will af-
ford carbon enough to make a gas
mask for a soldier.
Let all chairmen of Child We'll
fare continue the weighing and
measuring test in their communi-
ties. The authorities have decid-
ed to continue it indefinitely and
it is hoped that every parent may
be given the opportunity to know
whether his child is normal or
not, and if it falls below at any
point that the parent may be CIV
en- the instruction needed to COR
rect all DEFICIENCIES.
Surely there has never been a
time when our Government has
offered us SO many good things
just for the asking. Let us ask
that we may receive what is in
store for us, that we may be bet
ter citizens and our great coun-
try be still greater-the leader
among the nations of the world.

here and offering to work together, hand in hand, wherever there are boys abroad and loyal home folks to help them here. New York has neV- CT seen the like of the interdenomina- tional harmony that Is swelling out al- ready hereabouts, and that promises to sound out in one huge symphony ot patriotic purpose by the time the hat is passed-by everyone, to everyone and for everyone-next November.
 Strange Sights
 "Y" and Hebrew huts, crowded with Knights of Columbus secretaries, Sal vation Army lassies War Camp Com- munity Service workers, exhibits of the American Library Association and every other war work agency, are soon to be seen in the squares all about this town, as the plans Of the United War Work Campaign devel- ope. Scores of newspaper and pup licity men are already meeting fn common council to combine their ser vices in this campaign for editors of every publication in the land. Be- fore the next two months are over, it will be a hard hunt for anybody in America to find evidence that there are any lines in class or creed where the welfare of the boys over there are concerned.

is now arranging to remove Roumar. Ian wheat and other food stuffs at the rate of 10000 cars a day. And Rou- mania is facing famine that may be absolute.
 Finally in the mo indemnities" clause of the Treaty of Bucharest it now appears that there was a joker. Germany was to pay for the food she took. But she is paying for it at prices averaging one-fifth of those offered in the open market, anad it is estimated that by the end of 1919 this will be equal to some $2,o00, ,0oo,- 900 alone. Also Roumania is now to pay all expenses Germany was put to fin restoring order" When, recent ly. this was made clear to Ghe Ger. man eReichstag, 1t was made clear with laugh of cynicsm "If the Roumanians are conscientiously to fulfil these obligations" commented won Kuhlmann, they will have to make serious exertions."
 Germany Is soon to make another peace drive. Those who intend lis- tening to her should do so with the Treaty of Brest Litovsk framed on one wall and thR Treaty of Bucharest framed on the other.

AMERICAN INDIANS
 GOOD SOLDIERS

Thousands of Red Indians ho, a generation or two ago, decked them- selves out in paint and feathers, are today wearing the olive drab uniform of the United States army.
 At Camp Bowie, Texas, the 142nd Infantry is composed wholly of Choc- taws, and through this camp alone are scattered more than thousand In- dians. In Nebraska the Winnebagos formed a companay early in the war, but the formation of separate units is generally frowned upon by the gov- ernment, which prefers, when possi- ble, top lace the Red men in the same companies with white soldiers. Four teen tribes are represented in the ser- vice anad, when young enough, the chiefs have enlisted. In rank they scale down from major, and almost every branch has attracted some of them.
 The Indians have a good Liberty bond record. Although they are not wealthy people, on the three loans they have subscribed more than s13,- 100000, or between $30 and $40 per capital. The Osages, with a popula- tion of only 2,1S0, subscribed $226,- 900 to the last loan.

FIVE REPUBLICS CELEBRATE THEIR
 INDEPENDENCE

The five republics of Central Ameri- ca-Costa Rica, Guatemala, Hondur- as, Nicaragua and Salvador-all cele- brate the 18th of September as their Independence Day. This because once upon a time they together constituted the Kingdom of Guatemala" each of the five being a province of that sec t1on conquered by Pedro Alvarado in 1924, and which became one of the choice possessions of the Colonial Empire of Spain.
 The spirit of independence had been stirring in many other sections of the Americas before it really began to manifest itself in Central America. It broke out at first in shots, a little uprising here, an incipient revolution there but each was suppressed by the strong hand of Spanish authority until about 1918 when a captain general by the name of Carlos Urrutia became the Spanish governor. Too old and too pacific to play the role of despot, he permitted the smoldering embers of liberty to burst into flame. The fire spread from city to city, from hamlet to hamlet, until the whole country was ablaze with it. The old captain general turned over the execu- tive power to a subordinate by the name of Zabino Gainza, who was in reality in sympathy with the revolu- tionists. Early in September, 1921, there was a general gathering at Gua- O Q Ia (Etfu of no 1< 4Lo 1tion from every section. On the 14th the people were called to arms and responded practically en masse. The next morning in the palace of the captain general, Gainza met the rep resentatives of the patriots and final ly agreed that the independence of Guatemala should be proclaimed, and thus was brought about the indepen- dence of the whole of Central America on September 18th, 1921.
