Race Suicide

Champ Clark is drifting, with his years, into the stage where his moralizing and his philoso phies vie with Raphael who painted wisdom, Handel who sung it. and Phidias who carved it. The veteran ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives says that in forty-three years the population of France in creased by a scant million, and that in the same period Germany increased twenty six millions. In two or three States of the American Union the death rate about equals the birth rate, says MT Clark, who concludes: So I. seems that whenever the con ditions of living grow hard and difficult great many people un dertake to remedy the condition by race suicide ''
 Mr. Clark is not as handy with
 a remedy as is Lawson of BoS ton, in his affairs and may be that is ohe reason why he is more dependable than the fren- zied financier. But he turns to a source of relief. And in mak. ing America better. and in re ducing the percentage of race suicide, he would apply educa. tion as a cure, trusting to it to work out results. before the hu- man race becomes extinct.

CARLISLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN
 SEPTEMBER FIFTEENTH
Fifth and Sixth Grade Teacher and Music Teacher Secured, All Other Places Having Been Filled
 Several Weeks Ago

The public schools will open for the 1919 20 term on the if teenth of September with full quota of teachers, having filled the fifth and sixth grade vacancy a few days ago. Everything will be in readiness for the opening on schedule time should nothing occur in the interval to pre- vent it. Parents should re member that it is only about four weeks till they should have the children fully equipped for the term. and that that amount of time will pass in a hurry. It is to be hoped that the schools will not experience the difficulties this year that they did fast when the influenza epi demic, change of teachers dur ing the term and many other minor incidents occurred to re. tard progress.
 The fifth and sixth grade place has been filled by the election Of Miss Bee Johnson of Holly Grove. Arkansas, who comes to the schools highly recon mended and whom it is to be hoped will conduct that department in a manner that will give satistac- to all interested in those grades. Miss Eva Arp has been selected to take charge of the music de- partment for the coming term. She is efficient and will no doubt conduct that department very satisfactorily.
 The war and epidemics have been very detrimental to the Carlisle schools during the past two years, having placed them in very unsettled conditions but the prospects look bright for q successful term of 1019-20. Every parent should obey the law by placing their children in school on the opening day and keep them there until the clos ing day unless prevented by sickness or other unavoidable circum stance.
