Legion Band Becomes
Concert Organization

Members of the American Legion
band of the Harry Ray post voted
Wednesday night to make the body a
concert band as we'll as street band.
Commander George Hunt said Thurs
day that the local band had received
a number of requests from legions in
other cities, asking them to come and
give a concert. A concert tour may
be given later.
Prof. J. E. Maddy. supervisor of mu-
sic in the Richmond public schools,
will be in charge of training the band
into IL good concert organization. A
picture of the local legion band was
published in last weeks issue of the
American Legion Weekly. which has
a circulation of about 100000. The
local boys are becoming we'll known
throughout the country.
Baskets of fruit, compliments from
the Richmond kiwanis club, were or
dered sent to all local soldiers who are
in hospitals or confined elsewhere be-
| cause of sickness.
Dues were increased from So to S.
per year. 1t is believed that the new
rate is necessary to fully cover all
| operating expenses.

A Bankers View on Business Conditions

80 I'm b few months readjustn1ent will be COM
plete and business activity will be on the upward
trend again., says James B. Forgan, chairman of
the board of the First National Bank of Chicago
The Tribune of that city believes that innumer
able factors substantiate his prediction, and ad-
ducest the following proof:
q Business activity and general prosperity are
dependent upon and coincident with universal
employment and steady production. When all
our people are employed there is demand for
commodities which assures profits and stability
for producers. There is enough work crying to
be done in the United States to assure general
employment when it is apportioned and under
taken. ..~.e.~...-s-. ...--..
5 Hundreds of thousands of homes are needed.
To fill this need the work of millions of people
is required. Lumber men, steel workers, brick
makers, cement mills, quarry men, stone cutters,
metal workers. and others are needed to produce
building materials. Carpenters, brickayers,
stone nasons, structural steel workers, electri-
clans, plumbers sheet metal workers, roofers,
painters, and others are required to put up the
buildings. Furniture manufacturers and all the
trades employed in producing house furnishings
are needed to make the homes habitable.
Hundreds of thousands of men are needed
for other lines of labor. Good roads are urgently
needed throughout the country. Materials and
machinery for road building can occupy the time
of many. Men to build the roads can be en-
ployed in great numbers. Waterway develop
ment calls for the labor of others. There is still
much to be done in rehabilitation of the rail-
roads. All these things are urgently needed. 1t
is all constructive productive labor.
s THE task before the country is of finan-
cling these jobs and putting the into them
It is absurd to believe that this will not be done
eventually when the need is so great. Mr.
FOrgan did not analyze the situation in this way
but his statement that i'm few months read
justnent will be complete may be so inter-
preted. REIMBURSEMENT is nothing more than the
removal of men from unessential occupations and

Practical Education

An important conference on education is to
be held at Chicago next week; important not be-
cause plans of school organization and methods
of instruction are to be discussed, but because
education is to be considered from the stand
point of the public welfare and, the prospectus
states, "from the standpoint of the citizens who
own, support, and use the schools"
The conference is one of twelve regional
meetings and will be attended by representative
men from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and
Wisconsin. Among the topics scheduled on the
program are the following:
"The relation of education to the success of
the business man; the relation of education to
the improvement Of agriculture; the more vital
needs of city schools in the states of the confer
ence group; the citys interest in the education
of people in rural communities; what chambers
CT commerce and other civic bodies may do to
promote education and to assist in securing bet
ter support for schools the relation of education
TO agricultural progress and production; the
problem of larger state aid for education, and
the for it, with special application to the
states included in the conference; the newer de-
mands upon colleges and universities, and the
need for larger appropriations; the particular
needs of the private UNCONVENTIONAL and endowed
institutions; the relation of education to indus
try and commerce in the creation of wealth. the
economic factor in making teachers; and the
need of higher standards in the preparation of
teachers for elementary schools
The educational system of the United States
has been severely criticized for many years by
the public because it believed that the youth was
not receiving the schooling to fit it for it's place
in the commonwealth. The public felt that the
schools were not adapted to local needs and that
courses were taught which did not adequately
train the boy and girl to meet conditions in their
own community.
The proposed conference seeks information to
remedy this evil. At first glance, it seems as if
the information obtained from the regional con.
ferences would supply the educators with just
the material they have been seeking, and that a
REIMBURSEMENT of courses to supply practical edu
cation to the boys and girls of the present gen

Answers to Questions

Boy-To settle little argument,
please tell me If the leopard is an an
imal without a species? The leopard
was believed by the ancient to be a
mongrel of the male panther, or
"pard," as it was called by Elizabeth
an writers, and lioness; hence the
double name "leo" (lion) and "pard"
(panther). The belief was held as
late as the middle of the Seventeenth
century, as is evidenced in a work of
Thomas Fuller, "a Pisgah Sight of
Palestine" in which he says: Leo
pards and mules are properly no crea-
lures" The leopard, however, has
long been known as Felis pardus. one
of the larger Felidae, now generally
supposed to be identical with panther.
Reader-When were England and
Ireland settled, and by whom? 1t is
not known when Or by whom the Brit
ish Isles were originally settled. Prob
ably the islands were invaded by a
number of races. The earliest au
thentic knowledge we have on this
subject is traced in the Bronze Age
when Celtic invasions were made one
by the Goidels and later by the. Bel
gaze. The name English comes from
an invasion, in the First century oil
the Christian era, of the Angli, OF
Angles, German tribe. Ireland is
name is traced to the Swedish Irrois
and to other Morse words.
