Personally I think that the Holy
Name has done more to make Catho-
licity respected in America than almost
anything else during the past genera
ton. Educated Professionals especially
with certain amount of refinement
used to say, and who would blame
them for saying it?-"Catholicity has
just exactly the same sort of influence
that a superstition has over people and
especially over the men, for while it
succeeds in attracting them to church
on Sundays, it does not influence their
lives to any serious extent, since it is
among them that violations of the Sec
ond Commandment are most frequent"
There was no doubt about the truth
of it, for sad as it may seem, the great
swearers were often good Catholics, or
at least they would, to use an Irish ex-
preston, have put your eye out if you
said they were anything else. They
certainly considered round swearing
incompatible with regular attendance
at church.
Well, a single generation has changed
all that. s. 1t is wonderful to what an
extent it has worked, and I have had
literally dozens of Professionals speak to
me about it. l shall never forget rid.

the car anyhow, and though it may not
be generally known, the motormen on
the trolley cars suffer much less than
do the conductors from coughs and
colds and respiratory diseases gener-
ally during the changing season. OF
course, the conductor, coming in con-
tact as he does many times day with
the icebergy native Bostonian, is likely
to get chill at any time.

Superintendent Hal G. Blue of the
Twin Falls schools today issued the
following announcement:
1t will be impossible to organize
beginning classes for first primary pu-
pills at the opening of the second Sc
mester, Monday, January IA. There
are several reasons why it is neces-
sary to make this announcement.
In the Lincoln school. there is not
a single available room for the or
ganization of a new beginning class.
Every room in this building is oc-
cupied; even the small room imme-
diately above the principals office is
occupied by Is or 20 pupils. In the

disadvantageous to all first primary

class was organized in the high school
at the opening of the second semester.
J A severe hardship was worked on
many of the pupils enrolling IN this
class because they lived near the 9TH
er schools 1t is always education
ally essential to place in beginning
first primary classes those pupils who
| fail in first primary work and who
should repeat the work If a begin
ming class we're organized in the high
school building, these repeating pu-
pills from the other schools would be
at the serious disadvantage of being
compelled to go outside their own dis
tricts to attend school This was one
of the Objectionable features of the
beginning class organized in the high
school building last January 1t is
felt that it would be more advantage
GUS to these repeating pupils to leave
them with the teacher to whom they
have been going for half of the year
and who, perhaps, can do more for
them than any other teacher in the
system. By remaining with their pres
ent teachers during the remainder of
the school year, it is possible for them
TO be brought up to grade when the
school closes next May.
Anticipating the possibility of not
being able to organize a beginning
primary class in January, it was an
nounced when school began last Sep
TENDER that beginning pupils who
would be six years old on or before
December Is might enroll. The age
limit heretofore has been November
J. The extending of the age limit to
December Is, practically seven weeks,
results in a smaller number of child
rem ready to enter a beginning class
in January than heretofore In fact.
there are not enough children COM
ing into school age at this time to
make absolutely necessary the organ
ization of a beginning class for the
next semester. 1t would be impos-
sible to organize a class and employ
teacher for twelve or fifteen pupils
On the side of educational growth
and development, nothing will be lost
to these pupils who will need to wait
until next September to enter begin
ming classes. They will enter school
next September with the advantage of
having had several months of growth
and play. They will, also, have the
advantage of starting their school ca
reers on the even years. The mat
ter of four or five months immedi-
ately prior to the beginning of
schooling on the part of a child
lust six years old is not important
when consideration is given to the Ill
innate results of his elementary edu-
cation. These last months spent un-
der the influence of home and par-
ents viii contribute equally as much

to the childs educational growth and
progress.
This announcement relative TO the
fact that it will be impossible to or
ganize a beginning class for first pri-
mary pupils for the second semester
will not be modified in any way eX-
cept only in extreme cases of retarda-
ton. Cases of extreme retardatiOn
will be considered by the superinten-
dent OF schools or the supervisor of
elementary grades with the purpose
in view to doing everything possible
for such pupils.
If any modification of this announce
ment is made, it will be for the sole
purpose of meeting the urgent and
immediate needs of a child who rep
resents case of extreme retardation.

STAGE STAR
IN SECOND FILM PRODUCTION

THE Rise of Jennie Cushing the
Aircraft production now being shown
at the Idaho theater, is a big, human
subject. Elsie Ferguson, the noted
stage star and beauty, who recently
capitulated to motion picture, plays
the title role. The struggles of this
girl, born in the s1ums, of unknown
parentage, present an arraignment of
modern society In the book by Mary
S Watts, Jennie Cushing commanded
admiration, appealing to the sympa-
thies not by her heIplessness but
through her grit and determination
to rise from her lOWly surroundings.
AS played by Miss Ferguson, the role
receives added virility, and the play
will long be remembered by those who
see it.

PROFlTEERING IN

WASHINGTON, March L. -
Profteering in seeds was charged
by Sec'y Houston and Food Admir-.
Hoover in a joint statement to-
night which said that prompt action
in such cases would be taken when
ever specific information was sub
mitted. Many complaints of alb
normally high prices are being re-
ceived.
without adequate distribution
of seeds at reasonable prices there
is danger that acreage will be les
sened and that seed Of poor quail
it, will frequently be used the
statement said. "If such conditions
were to develope. it would serious
ly impair our national program"
Some increase in prices of GER
tain seeds was said 10 be justified
by the shortage Of supply ana the
increased cost of doing business.
The two officials we're emphatic
however. in holding that this did
not justify any one in taking sell
fish advantage of the opportunity
to the deteriment of the country.
Speculation in seeds, especially
was deprecated, and dealers under
federal license were warned that il
they engaged in such practices they
would be dealt with severely.
