LOCAL CITIZENSHIP CLASSES

The night schools here are working
in conjunction with the English and
citizenship classes at the Y. NJ. G. A.
in preparing the foreign born for the
census forms which they will soon
have to fill out. Explanations are
being given the men so that they will
have an intelligent understanding of
what the census means and how to
answer the questions properly. The
official blank forms are being used
and the men will become entirely
familiar with the nature of the ques-
tions to be asked them. This will
not only help those who attend the
classes, but other foreign born to
whom the regular students will i'm

Harry Lauder, the famous scotch
singer, who has made fortune and

the rules which he followed in car
rying out his native thrift. They
are all sage advice and well TO be

Behave toward your purse as you
would toward your best friend.
View the reckless spending OF
money as criminal and shun the
company Of the reckless spender.
Dress neatly, but not lavishly.
Take your amusements judiciou'
ly: you will enjoy them better.
Don't throw away the crusts-eat

money raised by local taxation,

fully small. Excluding the cities
with special charters we find that
only five per cent Of the money paid
the teachers Of the state came from
local taxation.
No small part Of this local indif-
ference is undoubtedly due to the
method used in distributing the
state fund. BY constitutional pro-
vision all money distributed by the
state must be apportioncd TO the
various counties upon the basis of
The school census. This accOmplishes

but absolutely fails 10 accomplish
other, and vilally important ones.
Let us enumcrate some of the bene-
hts which should result from a state
fund. They are:
I. To equalize the burdens and
the benefits Of public education to
the largest possible degree, working
upon the principle, From every ono
according TO his ability, TO every one
according to his need"
,. To stimulate a high average
attendance and place premium
upon a lengthcning Of the school
year.
3. To reward local effort for the
support of schools.
Docs the present method of appor-
tioning funds TO the counties accom-
pliSh the first aim? The answer
must be, only partially. II does en-
able the rich communities to help
the poor, but it discriminates against
the sparSely settled and isolated ru-
raj districts More than this. it fails
to afford any encouragement to con-
solidalion of schools and to high
schools.

Berea is justly proud of the noble
service performed in the great war
by so many of her noble sons and
members of the student body of Be
rca College. A large number have
made the great sacrifice, and have
written their names in stars of gold
which shall continue to shine as re-
minders of their greatness and OF
our debt of gratitude.
As yet we have been unable to
give complete list of our hOnored
dead, but we are glad to print the
portraits and give a brief sketch Of
those for whom cuts and the neces-
sary information is provided.
This week we are publishing a
sketch of Sidney Rust, with accom-
panying letters, and also a portrait
of Sergeant Major Basil Ball, whose
death was recorded in our columns
