Dear Miss Grey: I am
young man of % and engaged
to a very dear young lady. We
have not made it public for the
reason that am working
nights at present, while she
works during the day, and we
see each other on Sunday only.
She asked me If she could go
out with other fellows, and as
want to see her happy, I
told her she could.
Do you think II we made
our engagement public 1t would
be considered improper for
her to 60 with other men, even
IL I have given my consent?
d. b. A.
II is not conventional for an
engaged girl to make a practice
Of accepting attention from Othes
men. Have you or your fiances
considered the possible injustice
toward these other men? There
are very few young men who cart

able that should you announce
your engagement, these atten
tons would cease, and IL Is only
right that they should.

Dear Miss Grey: Is it right
and honorable for Uncle Sam
to ask young boys to go to war,
and then take their wages or
part to help support those at
home? Here's the example:
, NV father and mother had
five children, two boys and
three girls. My mother died
five years ago, leaving the
baby 8 years old and the Oldest
10. We were fairly we'll of;
never had to worry over
money. Thru foolish invest
ments, etc, the money soon
went. My mother left $4,000
insurance after all was paid.
Dad went to California, had
a good time, fell in love with a
woman two years his senior
and this last January married
her. His health is so poor
that he cannot and has not
worked for over a year. His
money is gone-he sold the
ranch which belonged partly
to us kids, and has spent all
that.
My older brother Joined a
year ago, my younger brother
two years ago. Now dad is
putting in a claim for an allot-
ment, which means $15 a
month for each boy, the rest of
their enlistment also pay the
eight months they have missed.
My older brother gets s39
per month, the other $50, so it
will take them some time to
catch up. think when they
drill thru dust and heat, en-
danger their lives for us at
home that we ought to be sat-
isfied without taking what
little they earn and could
spend for tobacco and the few
little pleasures they can seek.
The government ought to
see a way fit for such cases as
this. My father needs this
money, I'll admit, to support
himself and wife, but neverthe-
less it hadn't ought to come
from the boys pockets.
l am helping to educate my
two sisters, so can't do more,
as we have a baby of our own.
MRS. M. E.
1t doesn't seem fair; but IL Il
the way of the world. Any Law
that serves as an advantage t,
the many is bound to bring hard
ship upon few.

"Ewope's Educational Message to America.

Every public fficer ntrusted with the support
of public schools should know that Europe's les
son to the United States result of the war is
to keep the schools going and to make education
during the after the war better and more effec-
tive than it has ever been, according to broad
side announcement entitled "Europe's Educational
Message to America" just issued by the Interior
Department through its Bureau of Education, for
circulation among mayors, school board members,
and other public officials.
France speaks-"Do not let the needs of
the hour, however demanding, its bur-
dens, however heavy, or its perils, however
threatening, or its sorrows, however heart
breaking, make you unmindful Of the defense
of tomorrow, of those disciplines through
which the individual may have freedom,
through which an efficient democracy is pos
sble. through which the institutions of civili-
zaton can be perpetuated and strengthened.
Conserve, endure taxation and privaton, suf-
fer and sacrifice, to assure to those whom
you have brought into the world that it shall
be not only a safe BIT a happy place for
them"

H.. Finley, Commissioner OF Education Of New
York State, in his report French schools in

For England, the Honorable H. A. L. Fisher.
president of the English board of education, who
is in charge OF pending educational legislation OF
fundamental significance, is quoted:
"At the beginning of the war, when first
the shortage of labor became apparent,
raid was made upon the schools, a great
raid successful raid, raid started by
large body of unreflectng opinion. The re-
suit of that raid upon the schools has been
that hundreds of thousands of children in this
country have been prematurely withdrawn
from school, and have suffered an irreparable
damage, a damage which it will be quite i'm
possible for US hereafter adequately to repair.
