the honoring of the flag each evening

one minute each day for prayers for

this one minute. While our soldiers

PRESIDENT WILSON FOR
WARTIME SCHOOLS

President Wilson urges generous
support for schools Of all grades dur.
ing war time. In a letter to Secre.
tary Lane approving tho Bureau OF
Education's plan for an educational
campaign this summer and fall he
says:
81 am pleased to know that despite
the unusual burdens imposed upon
our people by tho war they have
maintained their schools and other
agencies of education so nearly at
their normal efficiency. That this
should be continued throughout the
war and that, in so far as the draft
law will permit there should be no
falling off in attendance in elemen-
tary schools, high schools or col
leges is a matter Of the very greatest
importance, affecting both our
strength in war and our national
welfare and efficiency when the war
is over. So long as the war contin-
ues there will be constant need of
very large numbers of men and wom-
en- of the highest and most thorough
training fer 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 intelli-
gence 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 new conditions to
the end that no boy or girl shall have
less opportunity for education be-
cause of the war and that the Ma
ton may be strengthened as it can
only be through the right education
OF all its people. / approve most
heartily your plans for making
through the Bureau of Education a
comprehensive campaign for the sup
port of the schools and for the main.
tenance of attendance upon them,
and trust that you may have the CO.

THE OLD SUPERSTITIONS

Frequently we hear Of the old su-
perstitions, the old rules by which
people used to govern themselves and
their actions. Only a few days ago
in Columbia, statement was made
by a local judge that people feared to
make wills because of the old super
stition that will making will bring
death quickly. Saturday there were
hundreds Of people who watched the
sky eagerly for knowledge of the con-
dition of the wealth-the belief by
them was that if the grounding, a
more or less mysterious animol. saw
his shadow, six weeks Of bad weather
were in sight The old superstitions
regarding the moon, the corn husks
and other still linger.
After all, harmless as they may be,
what is the need for the old super
stitions, the old ideas sprung often
from ignorance? In an age of en-
lightenment such as this it would
seem that such ideas, proven fallible,
would be abandoned, that people ad-
vanced in the knowledge of sciences
would give up the old ideas of the an
clients and let reason govern. Ignor-
ance and superstitution go hand in
hand.
