in the second educational trip taken in
that county this year They visited
the capitol, the university grounds and
buildings, the state historical museum,
and the Henry Villas park ZOO.
At the historical museum there was
a rush to reach the room containing
souvenirs of the present war. Boys
and girls gathered around the cases
and an excited buzz of comments fol-
lowed. Everyone was finding some
thing his big brother had told him
about.
"Oh, look! There's a trench spade"
said one small boy. my brother Jack
told me about them. The reason the
handles so short is because when they
dig in hurry sometimes, they have
to lie down."
Later in the day they went out to
the zoo at Henry Villas park Here
interest was divided between the ele-
phant and the monkeys. The elephant,
the one given the zoo by ALT. T. Ring
ling, caused much merriment by fill
ing his trunk with water and sending

There was some scurrying.

has been increasing greatly, not only
among the children, but among their
parents, several Of whom accompar

the first trip was taken 30 children
went. The second year there were
two separate trips, 80 children going

PLACE CHILDREN ABOVE ALL
Little Ones Have Been APPLY Described
as Monarchs in Homes Of Serbian
Parents.

The tragedy of the little children of
Serbia reduced TO starvation, disease
and raggedness is really understood
only when one comprehends the in
tense love of home and children that
fills all Serbian hearts.
"TAe Serbian home is the sanctum
Of Serbian life" writes Miss Wagner,
1.-THE shrine before which the Serbian
heart worships, the altar upon which
the products of hand and heart are
placed in simple tribute. And the
guiding spirit Of the home is, of course,
the woman, the wife and mother. We
must go farther, though, and say that
while the mother may be the guiding
spirit, the monarch of the home is the
child. What we are preaching with re-
newed intensity today regarding the
Importance of the child, the education
of the child, Serbia has long preached
and endeavored to practice. Almost
Spartan in Its creed is the valuation
placed upon a child life. The child is
more than a companion to his mother,
more than an heir to his fathers bust
ness, lands or wealth; he is the proper
ty of the state. He is part of Serbia
Everything is sacrificed to the welfare
and advancement Of the child"
