Education Isn't All Done in School

"a teacher of long experience recently re-
marked that the most ignorant children she had
to deal with came from the two social extremes
from homes in which the mothers had to be away
from home working, and from those in which the
mothers were so busy with society that they had
little time for their children" says the Kansas
City Star.
"The point of this remark is that an essential
part of the ordinary childs education must be
done in the home With this part missing, the
school is under severe, often fatal, handicap.
Many families act on the assumption, although
they may not express it, that the school alone is
responsible for the children's education. They
assume no responsibility in the home. They
make no effort to see that the children have a
chance to become interested in good books. They
do not regard the educational possibilities OF in
telligent conversation at the dinner table. Aren't
they paying taxes for the teachers to educate
their children? Well, then, what more do you
want?
"But every teacher knows that the home at
mosphere makes all the difference in the world.
To the boy or girl who hasn't general back
ground of information, the facts OF history, for
instance, are simply so many pieces of detached
information to be remembered for day and then
forgotten. They make no connection with the
real life of the pupil. 1t is the same with other
studies Where the home fails in doing its share
the school can make only partial success.
Biographical sketches of Theodore Roosevelt
have emphasized the time he and Mrs Roosevelt
devoted to companionshp with their children.
This companionship was part of the chidrens
education.
Before we blame the teachers for poor pro-
press of our children let US ask ourselves whether
we are doing our share as parents"

vplved problems before the general assembly.
The Saturday Evening Post makes this ap-
paal:
The New York World remarked not long ago
that as legislative body Congress had almost
ceased to function. The Revenue Bill, started
early last summer was still undisposed of. None
of the big appropriation bills had been passed.
There were some rather pressing things re-
construction in general, railroads, shipping, pub
lie works for unemployment to which there
was hardly chance that Congress could act dur
ing the session.
About two weeks before, President Wilson
had called over an urgent appeal for hundred
million dollars to feed some parts OF Europe that
were not able at the moment to help themselves.
The appropriation, he thought, would be not only
great stroke for humanity but for world politics
at that critical juncture. Congress had been de-
batting that proposal. Press reports gave one the
impression that large part of the Senate was
passionatsly opposed to it. We had spent twenty
five billion dollars and many good American lives
in support of the proposition that certain
tranpled Peoples should have fair show in the
world Handing over hundred million dollars
worth of food to those same people to fend them
from starvation in a pinch seemed simple and
relatively small matter. But senator's discovered
that sacred and vital principles were involved IN
it, And after debating it along that line and hold
ing it up for about ten days, the Senate passed
the bill by "a vote of three to one-as it had no
doubt intended to do all along.
What is the function of Congress, anyhow?
Is it work or talk? Of the comparatively few
citizens who pay any real attention to the pro-
ceedings of Congress we wonder how many feel
like calling that body into corner, taking it by
the buttonhoIe and saying, with tears in their
eyes, Dear Congress, for heavens sake, take
your coat off and go to work.

The Work of Congress

The procivty of legislative bodies to engage
in marathon debates and discussions is as char
acteristic of all of them as the practice is detrl-
mental in expediting the enactment of legislation.
Congress has wasted valuable weeks in the dis
cussion of bills which every one knew would be
passed without a shadow of doubt.
Or look at the Indiana General Assembly.
Day after day has been spent in fruitless and
often senseless discussion of measures that were
demanded by public opinion and which were fore
ordained and predestined to become laws. The
legislators could have voted on the bills with just
as much intelligence early in the session as later
The anti-German bill, for instance was piece
of legislation that demanded enactment. All the
auibbling and pussyfooting that marked the
movement of this legislation through the house
and senate could have been avoided if the solons
had done at once what their own consciences
told them to do The issue in this instance was as
plain as it could be- There was no room for de-
bate and no reason for delay. Public policy de-
manded the passage of the bill. The time that
subsequently was given to this question was time
that should have been devoted to the more in

When 1vaS the St.
Johns Lutheran
Church Organized

ST. Johns Lutheran church is the
oldest church of this denomination in
Richmond, and in 1919 may celebrate
it's seventy-first birthday. 1t was or
ganized in 1874
In 1850 the young congregation had
already grown to large size because
Of the heavy immigration.
1t was about this time that differ
ences of personal liberty and doctrine
caused the congregation now known at
st. PauPs to withdraw from ST. Johns.
From that time until now, the church
history has been one of steady
growth and prosperity, with the occa-
sional withdrawal of new congrega-
ton to form a new Lutheran church.
A long line of honored men have
been pastors of st. Johns church.

In lodging mud and bricks.
