SUMMER SCHOOL !.
FOR DELINQUENT
STUDENTsT0sTART
PROGRESSIVE INNOVATION INAUG-
URATED BY AMERICUS SCHOOL
AUTHORITIES LIKELY TO PROVE
POPULAR.

AmericusI school authorities have
determined to conduct summer ses
sion for those students who for any
reason, failed to attain promotion at
the close of the regular session, and
the idea is likely to prove most popu-
lar among parents and others who are
interested most in the education of the
Younger generation.
The sessions will be held in the
High school building, and will begin
Monday, June oath, with Prof. c. M.
Fale and Miss Nan Hope in charge.
The classes are for special students
only, and none of these below the
Third grade Grammar school will be
admitted. The school will be con-
Quoted under the usual rules OF the
Board Of Education, as part of the
free educational system maintained
here, and the instruction Of pupils at
tending will ibe the same in every re-
spect as that during the regular ses-
sion, the whole idea embodied in the
plan being to give students who by
reason of sickness or other causes
failed to attain promotion a reasona-
BILE opportunity to regain their class
standing.

The House of the Star

A star is the universal symbol Of beauty and glory.
For uncounted centuries it has been emblematc of the greatest
heights of achievement and ideals to which men aspire.
"Star of Hope" 'Star of Empire, ," "Star of Freedom'-these
are the supenative phrases by which we express our faith, our tri-
umphs, our visions. Whatever is not to be surpassed in beauty and
achievement, that we symbolic by a star. --~-
In the hearts of Americans today one star is above all others.
1t is the service star in the windows of a million American homes
the star, a lowly house, like most Of these where shines the star to-
the worlds star of freedom.
A Service Star in the window of a house that gives a sonl A
simple, familiar thing, but as we gaze at it there rise many visions.
We see a flag of many, many stars flying in glory; we see a man
struggling on a bloody field we see a mother kneeling in prayer
we see, above and far beyond, democracy established in all nations,
the brotherhood of man a reality, the world ilumined and renewed.
But clearest Of all behind that star we see a Son and a Mother.
Long ago, in the sunrise of history, there was another house of
the star, a lowly house, like most of these where shiens the star to-
day. And above the lowly house, hung a star of glory and potent,
like these, but greater, and beneath it, as now, there was a Mother
and a Son.
Then, as now, the star marked the house whose Son offered his
life for the life and liberty of the world; a house where the Mother
knew, with all mothers, the agony and benediction of sacrifice.
We who are but watchers of the battle pass these present
houses of the star and look upon them with tenderness and pity,
seeing too little. We have need TO remember that first House of the
Star. and like wise men, also BEHOLD it, and worship, and follow.
From the house of the star then, and now, comes triumph of life
over death in the gift of one life for all, now and forever.

ReprisaIS

OF all the allied nations fighting against the forces of the Hun,
only one thus far has given the bully of Europe the medicine which
will stop his torture Of prisoners of war. That country is France.
There was a time when Germans in-treated French captives.
They starved them. They stole parcels French people sent into Ger
many for their captured soldiers. They beat them. They forced
them to labor long hours in death-bringing conditions. They muir
dered them.
And Germany laughed at French pleas to exchange prisoners,
for Germany was grinding the blood and life out of prisoners in her
camps while Germans held in French prison camps were well fed.
Germany did not want to send her captives back until she had wrung
the last ounce of toll out of them and made them unfit for further
war duty.
Then it was that France began her program of reprisas. When
the Germans served "soup like bilsickers' PASTE to Frenchmen
the French procured the recipe and supplied a similar fluid to the
Germans in their prisons. When the German government 'lost"
Frenchmenis parcels and offered no satisfaction the French stopped
the parcels for German prsoners-and cut down their rations.
In that way France convinced the Huns that French prisoners
must be treated Is human beings. Then Germany agreed to ex-
change prisoners with France.
But Germany continues her horribly cruel treatment of British
prisoners.
Great Britain thus far has refused to put into execution the pro-
gram Of reprisal which would protect her men in German camps
more surely than anything else. This mistake, though, is in a fair
way to be corrected. The British public demands a general exchange
of prisoners and a program Of exact measure medicine for Ger
man prisoners.
Few American prisoners are in German camps. More will be
there. There have been well authenticated charges of mistreatment
of our boys. These indicate that the Germans T abusing our boys
more shamefully than the prisoners Of any other country.
We have the cure for that-reprisals. You can't persuade a
vicious brute by argument, kind treatment or nice words. You can
kick him off his prey, and you can beat him into submission. He
doesn't understand any other treatment. Anything else he con-
siders cowardice and is a n encouragement to greater cruelty.
The American government may already have taken steps which
will bring about a general exchange of American and German prs-
oners. If it has not, an immediate effect should be made. In the
meantime, and to bring Germany to a early compliance, a rigid
plan of reprHas should be put into execution. We will feed our
prisoners what the Huns feed American soldiers. We will work
them IS our boys are forced to toll.

Today We Celebrate
Anniversary of Invasion of
Canada.

On July IL, 1912, Just log years
ago today. two important events took
place that marked the real beginning
of the War of 1919 between Great
Britain and the United States. the
two nations fighting side by side to-
day, with never a thought of the past
little family ows.
On that date the frigate Constitu-
ton called put OF Boston harbor to
begin her daring career of the ocean
on the same date Gen. William
HAIL, governor of Michigan, crossed
the river at Detroit to begin the in
vasion of Canada. Detroit was then
q village of 500, with q rude fort con-
sisting of a square enclosure OF two
acres. Hull's ill-advised and poorly
managed action only served to show
Sir Isaac Brock. the civil and military
governor of Upper Canada, where the
first blow was to be struck. Brock was
a man of action and energy, and he
at once sent to Amherstburg all the
men available Inc ordered the cap
ture of Mackinaw. Hull, meantime.
was doing nothing. His invasion
Of Canada was q miserable farce. A
little over a month later Gen. Brock
was bombarding Detroit, and after a
feeble attempt at defense, Hull sent
up the flag Of surrender.
OlT l6ddC bIOGA Ndo q I'll vi
the Napoleonic wars and had served
with distinction in many lands. In
1910 h became civil governor. as
well as military head of Ontario. with
headquarters at York. now Toronto.
After taking Hull and his army pris-
.oners, he proceeded to Niagara and
personally led a charge in the battle
of Queenstown, on Oct. IS OF the same
year. In that action he was shot IN
the breast and killed.
Very different was the outcome of
the sailing Of the Constitution from
Boston, with Capt. Hull n command.
This Hull had nothing in common
with his namesake who commanded
the Invasion" Of Canada. The Con-
stitution had on board $50 green sail
ors, but they speedily had oppor-
tunity to give a good account OF
themselves. -Four days after leaving
Boston the Constitutlon-afterwar1
called "Oid Ironsides"-fell IN with
Ave British sailing ships. including
the Guerriere. Hull's skillful han
ding OF his vessel enabled him to
escape the overpowering force. Then
on Aug. 10 came the famous naval
battle OF the banks OF Newfoundland
between the Constitution and the
Ouerrtero. Capt. Dacres of the lat
ter vessel, fought long and valiantiy.
as the British always do, and was
himself seriously wounded. but In
the end had to surrender. That was
the beginning of a long list OF VIC
tories for the Constitution that has
given her a place in United States
history similar TO that of Nelson's
flagship Victory in the annals OF the
naval glories of England.
