THE ROSE ON THE WALL

A rose in a. garden climbed to
the top of the stone wall and
looked over. For years, weary
workers had been filing past that
wall, knowing nothing of the
beauty on the other side. Now a
beautiful~flower-face smiled down
at them, and they smiled back. The
owner of the garden watching
from his window wondered. He
saw little children clap their hands
with joy at sight of the rose, and
light came into the eyes of tired
mothers. He saw hard faces
soften, and heard strong voices
grow gentle, all because a rose
would not stay hidden.
The rose is in the right of it,
and am wrong" said the owner
of the garden. And the next sea-
son the stone wall came down.

KEEP HOPING

IF some day you're cross and blue,
Keep hoping.
If your friend should prove un-
true,
Keep hoping.
If your neighbors bother you,
If you need a hat or two,
If you don't know what to do,
Keep hoping"
- The value of this excellent ad-
vice lies in the fact that when hope
is lost all is usually lost. Nothing
is more sustaining than hope. The
expression 81 hope so' is probably
uttered as much as any other three
words in the world. People say
that they are hoping for the
BEST" or that they have not given
up hoping that this or that will
happen. Brave people are always
hopeful, and it is only the weak
person who stops hoping.
Hope, like the glimmering taper's
light,
| Adorns and cheers the way;
And still, as darker grows the
night,
Emits brighter ray"
There is strength in hope as
there is weakness in despair.
"Never give up is an admonition
based on hope and courage, and
there is beautiful spirit of hope
and trust in Joaquin Miller's lines,
Under the storm and the cloud
today,
And today the hard peril and
pain
Tomorrow the stone shall be rolled
away,
For the sunshine shall follow
the rain.
Merciful Father, | will not COM
plain,
| know that the sunshine will fol
low the rain"
A girl who had failed in an ex-
animation she had taken said
despairingly to her mother:
"Well, I'll try once more and if
l do not pass this time I will give
up for good and all"
Don't try again in that spirit, u
said her mother. eff you do l feal
you will fail to pass again. You
cannot do your best in that spirit
It will give you far more strength
to take the examination hoping fol
the best and determined to try
again if you fall
Doing anything with the de-
Termination to give up if one
does not succeed is one of the bes-
ways in the world to invite failure
To keep on hoping through both
failure and success is to grow in
all ones powers Of achievement.

NEW RAILROAD RATES
~. EFFECTIVE SOON
Passenger Fares, Freight
Charges and All Carrier
Fees to be Increased

According to program out
lined by Alfred P. Thorn, gen.
eral counsel for the Association
of Railway Executives, the new
passenger fare schedule will be-
come effective August 20 and the
advanced freight rates August 25.
simultaneously with the effec-
tiveness of passenger fares the
increased charges for Pullman
travel and the new rates on ex-
cess baggage and milk will be
put in force.
Railroad rate experts have be-
gun the preparation of blanket
rate schedules increasing the
transportation costs on a per-
centage basis. Until this work
is done, local railroad officials
will compute the new rates and
charges for their respective terri
tories on the basis of the exist
ing rates plus the percentage in
crease authorized by the commits
sion.
By putting the increased rates
into effect prior to September l,
the drain On the treasury under
the guarantee provisions of the
transportation act will likely be
ended before expiration of the
governments guarantee of earn
ings to the roads. Official esti-
mated today that by September l
the guarantee provisions would
have cost the government approx
imately S650,000,000 for the six
months since the passage of the
present railroad law.
The government has been
obliged to continue the $75,00O,-
900 monthly rental payment which
was in effect during federal con-
troll as we'll as to meet deficits,
not covered by the rental amount,
sustained by the individual car
rers. Included in the charges
which will fall on the treasury in
these deficits is that portion of
the S600,000,000 wage award COW
ering labor costs from May l to
September |, when the guarantee
expires. This was officially esti-
mated at S206,000,000. Thus the
American people will pay one
third of the increased wages for
railroad employees this year in
taxes.
With the amount guaranteed
the carriers this year and the
claims of the lines for compensa.
tion under their contracts with
the railroad administration, the
roads will have cost the govern
ment approximately billion anC
a half dollars since the President
took over the properties, Decem
ber 2S, 1917.
Operation Of the roads after
September l under the new rate:
will yield, according to account
ants and tariff experts of th'
carriers, an annual return 0:
about 81, 100000.
The need for increases in in
terstate rates was set forth in J.;
report forwarded to various stat
railway and public utility com
missions by the three state com
missioners who sat with the In
terstate Commerce Commission
during it's hearings and consid
Grafton of the rate case.

school every morning and for
which the children pay three cents
each. And it is good rich milk, too,
as all of the children are willing
to testify, and any visitor who is
asked to share the luncheon is for
tunate indeed. Crackers or cakes
may be brought from home. The
children take turns saying grace,
cleaning away the crumbs, wash
ing the milk bottles, and taking
the money for deposit in bank.
Many lessons in courtesy, clean
illness, reverence, and other virtues
are inculcated at this luncheon
period, which is enlivened by play
ing guessing games, or telling
funny little stories.
At intervals during the morning
teachers from the Summer School
come over to observe the academic
work. These do not in the least
disturbe the little folk who are
intent upon the business of learn
ing.
The State of Delaware was the
subject studied by the tiny ones
after luncheon last Thursday. A
map had been drawn on the board
by one of their number and around
this the children grouped to- hear
and to tell facts about their State,
and to learn the difference be
tween map directions and real
directions.
The Eskimo was the subject un-
der discussion in the older group.
Pictures showing all ages, all sea-
sons, all occupations, modes of
living and other features of
Eskimo life were passed around,
books were made available and
from these aids various illuminat-
ing details concerning those inter
esting Northern brothers of ours,
were deduced.
The process of bringing out
the backward ones is particular
ly difficult piece of work, but this

TOTS IN DEMONSTRA-
TON SCHOOL HAVE
HAPPY SUMMER
ENJOY WORK UNDER EXPERT GUIDANCE
LITTLE FOLK HELP~7O PLAN ACTIVITIES AND
TO SHOW VISITING TEACHERS HOW
THE LEARNING PROCESS is
ACCOMPLISHED

Grades of the Demonstration
School possessed the vocabulary
Of grown folks they would not
snare adjectives in the recital of
their good times there. And good
times do not constitute the whole
sum and substance of their expert
ence either, for their progress has
been rapid and their gain in poise
and in knowledge is considerable.
Three groups constitute the en-
rollment: those who by extra work
are irving to make an additional
Grade, those who have failed for
some reason in the regular grade
work; and those who are be-
ginners.
This wide difference in the
character of the groups offers an
excellent opportunity for the
teacher, Miss Rachel Fuller, to
demonstrate what may be done
with a number of children of
varied abilities and of different
grades such as the rural teacher
usually has.
The little folk put in delight
full morning. First of all they
adopted in the beginning a general
plan of activity for both the out
door and indoor periods. A COM
mittee of two from the group act
as leaders to plan the games and
songs. This committee is self
perpetuating, each member serv-
inc for two days and then choosing
his successor, so that one of the
committee is always experienced
in the work.
At the close of each days ses-
sion they put their heads together
and map out a program for the fol-
lowing day, which they submit
duly to Miss Fuller who makes a
neat typewriter copy which she
returns to the senior leader for
his guidance next morning. A
typical program submitted last
Thursday by Vincent Maher and
MUr.eI Conrad is as follows:
Out-Of-DOOrs
Games Blind Mans Buff; Ball
in the Ring; Hickory, Hickory,

Song: Good morning to You"
Reading: Isaac's Bride; Prayer

1t will be observed that the read

specially prepared for small chill

one and is provided with a number

joy and the airs of which they re

favorite selections are played.
After this program is completed
the business of study begins, anc
