At the Peace Table

Richard Washburn Child, in Leslie's. The common first thought is that | America, because of her glorious, though belated, participation in the war, will have the right, the honor and the duty of attending the peace convention; only second shought raises the possibility that there may l be excellent and conclusive reasons in favor of staying away. Indeed, to maintain our rights without loss, our honor without stain, and to perform our duty in full measure, it may be necessary for us to cast aside our first sentimental desire.
 With two exceptions no definite req sons for attending the peace conven- tion have appeared in answer to the suggestion that we stay away. One of these came from prominent bank CT. who urged that We must go to ob- tain our final title to the property now administered by our alien prop erty custodian. He overlooked. of couse, the important fact that, by all the rules of international law and custom, the private property of ene- cies is taken in war on land only for military purposes or to be held in trusteeship for it's owners. The other suggestion came from a leading inde- PCliuSHl-d newspaper Wnlcn urged that we must go to the peace table Ito protect the rights of the smaller nations" It did not state that such protection, if worth anything but words. in the first place involves our obligation to provide force in Europe or Asia, and, in the second place. for ever stops our mouth from objecting 1 to interference on the American con- tinents If the moral obligation" of a
  stance-inspires her Ito protect the smaller nations on our own hemis- phere.
 k IT we go to the peace table to sit
 With the victors we ought not to go
 merely because it appears to be the thing to do." Our people ought to think out the questions involved--to
 the bottom. Our future may depend upon our conscientious shrewdneas. and who will want to see us gallon to the peace table in the spirit of sheep? what would be the advantages of going to the peace conferences? We would not wish to go for material gain First for America. there will

We cannot give the lie to our statements of high and unse Sr sh purposes in entering the combat. We could not countenance a reversal of our pledged stand against indemnities and annexations. It is unthinkable
 that we would go in for principle and come out bearing away something, no matter how small, sticking to our fingers. '

 ] It is probable that the continuance of
 the open air school proper may be se- cured in association with the city board of education but these plans are not
 vet matured In any event, the new
 arrangement makes a distinct advance, inasmuch as it provides separation be- i tween active or suspicious cases of pos-

 Among the valuable and beloved lives untimely ended by the prevailing epi- deinic was that of Miss Mary Rumph. well-known as a social worker. A Bir- lningham girl, she was trained for kim dergarten service and in that and other capacities was identified with several ac- tive welfare organizations, including the Neighborhood House, the Boys club, the Associated Charities and the Anti-Tuber- culosis association. Sch had recently ac- cepted Responsibility for the Northside Community House. conducted by central churches, and had supervised it's re- noval to the new quarters on Eighth avenue, where it is supposed she con- tracted the influenza by her care of a sick child. Enthusiasm for child service, a clear and sane judgment a certain directness and sureness of insight, fine steadfastness of purpose, and almost masculine courage, united with her love of her chosen profession, make her in- valuable Children and young people all

Every boy will at once recognize one first picture as one of a scout class room, with a patrol learning things that are not to be gotten from books. Who couldn't learn in school like this? Even physiology is taught in this school with 10000 teachers and over 250,0O0 American pupils, but, of course, it isn't called that. In the scout classroom it is called first aid and the pupil learns by doing. CD When it comes to war work Fatty" as he is sometimes un- justly called is there with bells on.'
