We are to meet again this aft

community singing and, no doubt,
after the long and unavoidable
wait, there will be large gather
ing of townspeople eager for the
enjoyment that these community
meetings afford. Let us, there
fore, brush up on the words of
the songs that we have sung and
the others published during the
week and cut loose our voices
with all the enthusiasm and pa
triotism that we can command.
Prof. De Loss Smith will COM
mand the army Of singers, as
usual, and will be aided by the

clude many fine features. Let
everybody come and bring a piece
of change, because it is planned
to purchase new song books very

ings is trifling, compared with
the pleasure and benefits offered.

SINNERS PRAYER

One time when Representative Ell
sion. OF California, was hunting up in
the mountains of his native state, he
encountered mule driver, with his
team stuck in the mud, who was the
best two listed cusser that ever laid
lip to 1t. Cnssins blue was nothing
Tor MIN; he cussed all the colors of
the rainbow. and did it harmoniousiy
TOO. Elston went on up the mounta in
wondering what a blackened person a
man who could swear like that must
be.
The following day tree fell on Il
man In q nearby camp, and Elston
went over to the hillside burial. No
services had been arranged, not even
a prayer. But when those in charge
were about to lower into the grave the
pine box in which the body reposed
and someone suggested that n few
words be spoken. the cussing man
stepped forward, removed his hat, and
said:
Lord, we are sending Thee another
soul. Thou knowest the burdens 1t
had to bear, be merciful"
That prayer stands today in Elston's
opinion as one of the finest MASTER
pieces of English it has been his privi-
lege to hear.-CartoonS,

France Is Originator
Bad Boy School Idea

In the little city of Mottray. France,
the first school for bad boys waz
founded so years ago. A lawyer named
Metz was responsible for the school.
He had an idea that bad boys. II given
the proper environment and opportu-
nifty. might be transformed into good
boys. Before that time 1t had been
believed that when boys were bad II
was because of original sin. and that
flogging or more brutal punishment
was the only cure. Humanitarians had
arisen from time to time and suggested
that kind treatment might work cure
in the case Of juvenile delinquency. but
such theories were denounced a. un-
godly and irreligious.
The reform school idea found speedy
acceptance in France, after the sue
cess OF the Aottray institution In deal
ing with supposedly incorrigibles. and
quickly spread to other European ma.
tons and to the United States and
Canada Today every county has its
reform schools, junior republics. ju-
venile courts and other machinery for
dealing with youthful delinquents. Re-
formatory schools admit, as a rule.
only youths who have been guilty OF
crimes which. when committed by
adults. The juvenile courts have since
been established to bring about the
reformation Of youthful offenders with
out recourse to the reform school and
have been highly successful.
