Coming Graduations.
North Adams Herald. J

What is the significance to the com
munity of the great army of young PEG
pie graduated each June from our
these students have acquitted them
selves well in certain conventional
studies that our pedagogs say they must
learn?
The real meaning of graduation day
is that these young folks bring a new
reinforcement to battle in the age long
fight of truth against error. More knowl-
edge or conventional studies does not
amount to much. The Germans have
had even more thorough education than
ours. But it was handed out to them
by persons interested to have them
learn only certain things.
Our education is built on different
! foundation. 1t is the free study of
| truth. Never have the facts of history
been camouflaged in our schools. Gun
! students have come in contact with the
real wisdom of the world, the shams
of history have not been imposed or
them.
As a consequence wherever education
goes, you get better government, ;
higher standard of morals, more com
munity spirit and more commercial pros
perity. If it were only possible TO
all of our people to have full higl
school education, and if half of us coult
have also a college or technical educa
iition, corruption and inefficiency III gov
ernmcnt would mostly disappear. Gu
people would distance the world in
dustriallv. Where education exists, tn
demagog finds no ignorant masses 0
| people who can be imposed upon by hi
frauds.
Let us welcome with glad hand
clasp these young people who hav
fitted themselves to carry on til
community. They owe much to us TO
the advantages received. We owe niue
to them for their diligent study, and W
shall owe more to them for the con
munity work they will do.

SATURDAY, JUNE s, 1918.
THE w. S. S.

AS the war proceeds and every ounce
of man and woman power in the nation
has to he modified. there comes with
each day some new need of informing
the people. There is still need of much
informing about the War Savings
stamps drive which was inaugurated
throughout the country yesterday, to
close in three weeks with at least every
fourth person in the United States
signed up for war stamps. A woman
who is unusually we'll informed said
she thought that the war savings stamps
were designed for persons of small
means. Very true But they were also
designed for every man, woman and
child in the country. Indeed the quota
of 100000 set for the year would
require $50 for every one in the coun-
try including the babies and the eight
million Negroes and the many million
who are not yet thoroughly assimilated
into the life of the country. 1t would
be impossible for the school children
or the men and women who cannot buy
Liberty bonds to take the two billions
in war savings stamps within the year.
The government has reckoned on this
income and it must be forthcoming. 1t
means that the people of means must
take the stamps and take them gener-
ously. If well-to-do person or a per-
son of wealth ism t interested in so small
an investment, he must realize that he
is asking some school boy or girl or
some Garner of modest wages to do his
part. And because there are good
many million babies, and the people
with, little money who cannot take the
$50 quota, people who can afford to dc
so must take more than their share
No one may take more than $1,000
worth of the stamps of the 1918 issue
But all who can afford it should be OF
THAT thousand dollar roll
The drive in Vermont will be made
intensive, with the expectation of get
ting S70O0,000 in subscriptions in TIL
week beginning June 16.

BINkY, THE PARoQUET.

Binky was paroquet who belonged
to little girl named jimmy. They
were devoted to each other, and Binky
would come out of his cage every
morning and stay out for the rest Of
the day.
Sometimes he would go back for a
very nice tempting piece of seed which
he would see in the center of his cage,
but he could drink from his cup by
perehing on the outside Of the cage.
And too. he often found nice things
outside the cage which his little mis-
tress would give to him.
One day cousin Of Jinny's gave
her two more paroquets. because she
felt jimmy would love to have them.
A. first Jimmy was afraid that Binky's
feelings would be hurt. but no, Binky
was entirely too sensible bird.
jimmy sat in q chair at one end OF
the room and called to Binky as she
often did, And across the room
hoped the little bird as he always
did when he was called by jimmy, OF
even when he saw her sitting there.
"Binky." said jimmy. 1--WE love eacf
other very much. don't WEI"
And Binky nestled his soft greer
feathers against Jinny's face ant
chartered in his funny little voice some
thing which could not be put int,
words but which jimmy knew meant
