ters OF Ohio who are engaged in an
early campaign to dispose Of millions
OF dollars worth of Treasury Savings
Certificates and War Savings Stamps
of the issue Of 1920 advise that the
tax exemption features of these gov
ernment securities are one or the
chief reasons for the large demand

already anticipating the local tax COL
Iector and are taking advantage OF
government offerings and various
fotations Of nontaxable stocks.

advised by the Treasury Department
that owners of $1,000 in Treasury
Savings Certificates or War Savings
Stamps, the maximum allowed by law,
may own this amount OF each issue,
namely, $1,000 for 1918 and the same
amount for 1919 and 1920, making a
total of $4,000 allowed to be held by
any individual, firm or corporation.

SPIRITUAL HLITERACY

Investigations carried ON by the in
ter-church world movement show that
80 far as training for the spiritual
side of life goes, the United States
is an illiterate nation. The Sunday
school is looked on as the place where
the young mind is trained in a spirit
ual way. This is true, but its work
is found to be limited. The member
ship of the church is on the increase,
but the attendance at Sunday school
is lower than it was q few years
ago.
Probably the best reason for this is
that not enough work is being done
for the Sunday school and not enough
money is being spent for its proper
maintenance. Only the price Of one
lead pencil is spent for the boy or girl
in the United States each year for
the purpose of Sunday school training.
Seven Of every ten young people in
the United States, or about $1,000. 900,
receive no church training. Those
who receive it in the protestant
churches get only about thirty min
utes a week and that is often sand
wiched in between a sermon and
Sunday dinner. The attendance IL on
an average only about so per cent Of
the enrolment; hence the children
who attend Sunday school get only
about thirteen hours Of training q
year.
In the Catholic and Jewish churches
more time is given to the children's
instruction. About 100000 Catholic
children receive 200 hours Of train
ing q year. About 1.600. 900 Jewish
children receive ESQ hours year. But
on the average more money il paid to
the janitors Of the churches Of the
United States than is spent on the
Sunday schools.
One trouble with the Sunday school
is that they lack competent teachers
and supervision. Only 6 per cent Of

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW

During the war people Of the Unite
States were willing to fight for thei
country or make any other sacrific
that they were called on to make. Blu
with the close of the war, at a tim
when the questions brought up by tn
war were weighing heaviest on tn
world, few people seemed willing Il
think.
Returned soldiers seemed to be o.
the opinion that they had done th'
work they started out to do and thai
it was the duty of someone else to dt
the negotiating. Other people OF ths
country felt that they had done theil
part, that what was left to do wal
not important and that it would be
handled by those in authority.
One of the greatest reasons for thif
lack of interest in affairs was that the
news was suppressed to considerable
extent. People did not have chance
to get more than general idea OF
what was going on. The newspapers
were not allowed to get great deal
of material on account Of the censor.
Much that was written about the Peace
Council at Versailles was imaginary or
from hearsay. Few reporters were ad-
mitted to the council and those who
were had difficulty in obtaining the
facts about what was really going on.
The official news bureaus gave but
little information to reporters. The
people of the country did not have an
accurate enough idea Of what was go
ing on to either sanction or censor
it.
1t is probable that If the represen-
tatives at Versailles had let the people
at large know what they were plan
ming on doing at the Peace Council
they would have been able to get an
idea as to what the country would
stand for. The controversy that is
uOW SOlu6 Ou dUOut SAC 4ASoty 0AA0
which will go on for the next nine
months, might in this way have been
avoided. The people Of the country
are the real jury in practically every
case. Whenever a party Of represen-
tatives forgets that, they are making
a big mistake and are likely to con-
tinue to make mistakes until they
change their views.
The best solution for the problems
of America is to let everybody un-
derstand what is going on by giving
fair report in the papers. II there
were more freedom in the giving of
the news, people could have a better
understanding of what is going on in
the country, be able to form their
opinions about public affairs and direct
the policy of their representatives
in the government.
