The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1918-04-05
FROM FORMER PAW PAW LADY

The following letter was recently
written by Mrs. Cora ID. Martin to
one of her many friends here in Paw
Paw. Mrs. Martin was for great
many years resident of this place
and for several years actively en-
gagged in managing and editing the
True Northerner. Mrs. Martin is
now corresponding secretary for the
Children's Patriotic League of Amer
lea with headquarters in the Lake
View Building, 116 South Michigan
Blvd, Chicago. Knowing that there are
many who will be glad to hear from
her and of the work in which she is
now engaged, we have published in
full her letter.
Dear Friend:
am taking a minute to write you
this morning, because if you happen
10 come to Chicago l want you to
know that you can find me at this
Office during business hours. 1t is
nearly opposite the Art Institute, SO
you will know just where to come.
am now Corresponding Secretary
for this league and find the work
very interesting, and am glad to do
my bit" toward alleviating the hard
ships of the suffering children that
are one of the sad results of this
terrible war Of democracy.
Who would ever have thought that
the whole world would be in such a
turmoil--and the end is not yet,
though right must prevail, and SO
surely expect to see the mad Kaiser
overcome. And what a brave begin
ming our "Sammies" are making. 1t
makes me proud of being an Ameri.
can every time think of our soldiers
lining up on board the sinking Tus-
CANA to sing "My Country it's OF
thee"
l hope you are coming over soon
I want to see you. l have been sc
long out of touch with my Paw Paw
friends.
Sincerely your
Cora d. Martin

given the advantages of education.
That is why we want more school
houses, more teachers and longer
terms. That is why every district in
Georgia should take some burden
upon itself in the matter Of provid-
ing education for the children. The
county. the community or the indi-.
viduaI, which waits for the state to
bear the whole educational burden,
weakens itself-him or herself. The
most valuable things are the ones
that we strive to attain-that we are
willing to make sacrifices for. An
educational system which comes like
the air from the mountains without
drest cost to him who receives it will
not bring the blessing that would
come with one which has to be attain
ed by toll and privation.
The state ought to increase its APP
preparations for schools. The counties
and communities should add to the
states school fund. The laws regard
ing compulsory education should be
more rgidly enforced. We should see
to it that illiteracy is wiped out in
Georgia. The curriculums should con
tain few things besides readin',
ritin' and 'rithmentic, too It would
not hurt to let the youngsters know
few things about cause and effects in
the moral world-of how bad conduct
hurts themselves more than it does
these against whom it is aimed.
few years of the right sort Of
education would make mobs impos-
sible in Georgia, it would stop pistol
toting, blind tigering and other like
offenses; or it would reduce them to
a minimum.

was launched during our banner year
, of ship building, 1901.
Between 100000 tons of shipping
will be represented in the splashing
of the waves when the vessels go
down the ways. The Pacific coast
will lead with wooden vessels, but a
number of large steel vessels will
be launched andalthought SO ships
will glide into the water. The total
tonnage will be the greatest Ger
launched in single day
While we are breaking all records,
we must again remember that it can
not be boast. It must be remembered
that breaking records is very neces-
sary and there will be many instances
of it. An idle boast hurts the cause.
But the ships are going and the fact
that they are must be qualification
enough for whole nation.
We have already beaten Germany
at the game getting soldiers across,
aud unless that obstreperous enemy
finds another and a more effective
way of blocking transportation, we
are going to get the mastery in ship
ping. The celebration of our coming
Fourth will almost see us in that en-,
viable condition. May the good work
continue till the last trace of Germany
military domination is swept from the
earth.

WHY BETTER SCHOOLS?

Says the Valdosta Times:
Hardly a day passes that the news
papers of Georgia do not print stories
Of happenings in this state which
show the absolute necessary of institu-
tons to take the fool element out of
the heads of large part of our popu-
lation. Most of the happenings that
make Georgias hang their heads in
shame are due not so much TO innate
viciousness or natural depravity as to
the fact that we allow the weeds and
tares of ignorance to grow up and
crowd out many virtues that would
bloom like spring flowers in minds

permanent institution in France after
the war. The best indication that the
game Will take big hold here, 5 the
fact that the kids are picking up the
sport and wherever they have baseball
paraphernalia the youngsters are play
ing our game. Several factories have
already started the manufacture of
bats balls and gloves. 1t is true these
goods do not compare with our material

Il IS purely an experiment with the
French makers. The balls have been
found of very poor grade The bats
break too easily, but the gloves are
found o. K. even by the American play
ers.
Another indication that baseball will
be taken up here is the recent statement
by Prime Minister Clemenceau that it
was the intention of the French govern
ment to keep a number Of athletic and
baseball experts over here to teach the
French boys our sports. That is the
best way to introduce a sport in France.
The French people themselves are rather
e conservative lot to take up a new
sport on the spur of the moment. but
now that the kids are taking it UP, the
game is bound to prosper. Through the
efforts of the 7. NJ. c. A and the X. of

provided with baseball material and the
youngsters are taking up the game in
