Principal of Quincy School is Brought
Into Court on Charge of Assault,

was Necessary.

Quincy Herald: Mrs. Mae Ellis was
at the city hall, this forenoon, accom-
panied by her 13year-old brother,
Floyd Brewer, sixth grade pupil
at Jefferson school. First to Miss
Rose Niehaus, the policewoman, and
then to Judge Reardon, Mrs. Ellis
lodged complaint against Principal
Bonney of Jefferson school, based on
the accusation that he had been
guilty of furnishing the boy with I'M
necessary severity, using a leather
strap for the purpose. The right hip
of the boy was shown to be dis
colored and somewhat swollen and
the boy claimed that the strap was
applied half dozen times. The
offense for which the punishment

Where Civilization Fails.

american civilization will be a
failure so long as the women and
girls of our land who must labor for
a livelihood are compelled to do so
at wages wholly insufficient to keep
body and soul together.
American civilization will be a
disgrace so hong as any mother who
ought to be giving her time to the
proper rearing of her children is
compelled to bend over the washtub
to get for them the bare necessities
of life.
American. civilization will be a
stencil in the nostrils so long as any
boy or girl who ought to be spending
his or her time upon the playground
and in the schoolroom acquiring the
physical strength and mental equip
ment to fight the battle of life is
compelled to work long hours in any
body's shop, factory or store.
81 como to you today in a perfectly
frank. straightforward manner to
say trat believe I have found a
solution for these difficulties.
1.-THE solution of these problems
may he found in the organization of
schools like that at Mooseheart.

RHEUMATISM
LEAVES YOU Forever
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic Poison
Starts to Leave the System Within
Twenty-four Hours.

Every druggist in this country is
authorized to say to every rheumatic
sufferer that if two bottles of Allen
rhu, the sure conqueror of rheuma-
tism, does not stop all agony, reduce
swollen joints and do away with even
the slightest twinge of rheumatic
pain, he will gladly return your
money without comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
fod' years, and really marvellous re-
suits have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffer
ing and agony was intense and pite-
Gus and where the patient was help
less.
Mr.. James H. Allen, the discoverer
Of Allenrhu, who for many years suf-
fered the torments Of acute rheuma-
tism, desires all sufferers to know
that he does not want a cent OF any
ones money unless Allenrhu decisive
ly conquers this worst of all diseases,
and he has instructed Wilkinson e

Gospel Of Education.

1--WE are demonstrating there at
Mooseheart the whole gospel OF edu-
cation as it should be carried on. In
the first place we demonstrate that
every child left an orphan and be-
Ion ging to our order directly or in
directly, is entitled to an education
from infancy up to twenty years Of
age.
1--WE d. are demonstrate further
more, that every child has a right to
work and 10 build under proper guild
ance and supervision, and that that
child has right to learn some voca-
ton by which he can earn living
suited to his capabilities. for we can
not have any true citizenship in this
country unless the citizen feels that
he can earn a living and support a
family in conditions proper and de-
cent and suited to what he knows he
ia capable of doing and being.
"Finally. and l believe most i'm
portant OF all, we are demonstrating
at Mooseheart that no education is
an education unless 1t is founded on
LOYALTY. reverence and faith, and, in
the highest meaning of the term re
ligion. That is the greatest weak
ness of our American education to
day, that in it's anxiety to get away
from sectarianism, it is getting away
from faith, and we can't have any
vocational education which is not
based urcn the sense that we are

NEED OF CONSERVATION
Ignorance and Poverty are TWO Great
est Menaces to Our Civilization,
He Declares in His
Speech.

! An eloquent plea for child welfare
and child conservation was made last
night at the Knights of Columbus
hall by Darius A. Brown, supreme
dictator of the Loyal Order of Moose.
Mr.. Brown is former mayor of Kan
sas City, and is travelling through
| the country on mission FOR chill
dren. He is bringing before the
people the necessity for conserva
Etion of child welfare, and explaining
why child life is SO important to the
nation. At the same time he is tell
/ ing the story of Mooseheart, the
home for fatherless children con-
Quoted by the lodge.
| Mr.. Brown spoke before the high
school students in the afternoon, and
sketched briefly the work being done
at Mooseheart He was given a cor
dial reception by the students and
! they proved to be interested audi
ences. Mr.. Brown is an unusually
! eloquent speaker, and his message is
delivered with force and feeling.
| Preceding his lecture the Keokuk
Concert band played several selec-
lions, and Thomas Rogerson sang.
! In speaking of the home for chill
/ dren, which is located at Mooseheart,
I'LL, thirty-five miles west of Chicago,
! the speaker brought out the fact
that the time had come when frater-
nal organizations could not justify
their existence by being purely social
clubs. eff. they are to continue they
must do something worth while to
solve some of our great national
problems" he said.

4 Word to Trustees and Teachers.

l. All schools qualifying for Equal
ization aid must enroll 25 pupils in
every class room. 1t seems hard for
some principals to grasp this. Is to
20 pupils in the principals room Will
not do. and your school will lose its
standing and possibly more if such ar
rangements continue.
2. Principals and trustees common
" believe that a principals place IS
with the higher grades. Danish the idea
The prinipal should be where she can
do the best work. If she is the best
teacher, would say she should teach
the primary grades. Give your best
teacher. by all means, to the lower
grades.
8. Complaints not infrequently come
come here Of whipping. In a few
cases the school term has been broken
up by trouble arising from whipping
While it is necessary some times to
use the rod to preserve discipline,
and especially in cases Of immortality
it has been my observation that the
most successful teachers use it least.
It should be an exceptional case that
child is whipped for missing It's
lesson.
4. Every school district in the coun-
ty should be an eight mill district.
The burden of finances is thereby re-
moved from the shoulders of the trus-
tees and patrons to the State. Vote
eight mills for. school support and the
State will give you seven months and
teacher for every twenty-five pu-
pills enrolled, and besides will allow
you around ten per cent of your school
fund for incidental expenses.
5. Possibly you need new school
building, or maybe you need to en-
large the present one to meet the de-
mand resulting from the growing en-
rollment. What about your class
room equipment? Have you suffi-
cient black-boards, wall maps, globes,
etc? Have you a library we'll kept!
Have you obtained county and State
aid for enlarging your library? Now
is the time to get busy. See your
county superintendent.
6. See that every child from to
IA years old is at school. Report all
cases of violation of the compulsory
attendance law promptly to Miss Belle

All eight mill districts should run
their negro schools four months, and

BRYAN COMING BACK

When William ]. Bryan staged
himself as the surprise Of the Jack
son Day dinner perhaps he forgot
that, after all, most of his fellow
Americans have reasonably good
memories.
For years past many of them have
remembered enough about Mr.. Bry-
an TO make it difficult for him ever
to surprise them again
A very slight effort of recollection
suffiees to carry them back to June,
1915, when Mr.. Bryan's conviction
that pacifsm was the first, last and
paramount principle of majority
of the American people caused him to
resign his office Of Secretary of
State in President Wilson's Cabinet
at a moment when the Government
of the United States began to find
itself forced to increasingly stern in
sistence upon its rights as menaced
by German ruthlessness in the great
war.
Nor have they forgotten Mr.. Bry-
ans subsequent conversion of him.
self into a topliner on the tent cir
cult in order to persuade Americans
that the Presidents preparedness
plans were "a reveral of our nation
al policy, a menace to our peace and
a challenge to Christianity"
Mr.. Bryan's attacks on the Presi-
dent at that time were not the utter
ances Of an earnest American trying
to unite his country in the face of a
grave problem. They were rather the
effort Of a political malcontent to
seize upon an issue that should
spread dissension and if possible
split a party. 1t included specious
warnings to the President against
certain "atmospheres" and influences
in Democratic circles.
Much water has gone over the
dam since then. But Mr.. Bryan re-
mains the same Mr.. Bryan. The only
precious moments life has ever held
for him are those that have found
him going to the people with some
thing h. fondly hoped might prove
the issue of issues.
1t is the same old story this time.
Leaving party to one side, he has
sought 70 extract from the situation
q special message and platform of
his own to peddle to the country.
