A Modern Exodus

What is regarded as the greatest
religious exodus since the Children
of Israel marched out of Egypt is
soon to begin.
Sixty thousand Mennonites,
whose ancestors came to America
long ago to escape persecution are
leaving it now because they con-
slider themselves prosecuted. They
have purchased a tract of three
million acres from the government
of Paraguay in South America and
expect to develop there little
"nation" of their own people. 1t
is a wilderness inhabited only by
Indians; and some parts of it have
not been visited by white people
since 1886 when the early Spanish

struction which they receive.
The New York legislature has
passed law requiring public
school teachers to take the oath of
allegiance to the constitution and
flag.
This drastic law was made
necessary on account Of the pre-
valence of radical propaganda.
The state board of regents is
given charge of the matter and
teachers who are found to be
tainted with disloyalty will be
discharged.
And why not? The teachers
are paid by the government and
they owe fealty to it. 1t is their
duty to uphold the government
and teach their pupils to obey it's
laws.
Parents should insist that only
loyal teachers have charge of the
education of their children. Pa
triotism should be one Of the re-
quirements of their teachers.
| If, as it is charged, we have
teachers in our schools who are
disseminating dangerous and treas
enable doctrines, they should be
removed.
When there is an epidemic of
disease, every effort is made to
keep it from spreading in the
schools, and we should guard
against the poisons to the mind,
which are more virulent and far
reaching, with equal solicitude.
The saying that the time to APP
ply Me remedy is before and not
after the damage has been done is
especially true in the education OF
our children, for so much depends
upon their early impressions and
teachings.
We have dreams for the future
of our glorious republic and all de-
ponds upon the rising generation
for it is the people which makes OF
devastates a country.

Opens Doors to Working Women

Brynn Mawr College is one Of
the wealthiest schools in this coun-
try. Enrolled in it's classes are the
daughters of millionaire statesmen
and men of prominence from all
over the country.
Mr.. Rockefeller has endowed it
heavily and it's connections with
other institutions of learning give
it prominence.
The latest venture of Bryn
Mawr college is summer school

A Strange People

The original home of the Men
nonites was in Switzerland. They
have become widely scattered in
their effort to find land where
they would be unmolested in their
religious beliefs.
Wherever they are found, they
are known as excellent farmers,
simple in their manners, blameless
in their behavior, honest, conscien-
tious and diligent." AS a class,
they are thrifty and prosperous.
They are more or less shy and Sc
elusive; and as a result of this,
they have not been influenced
much by the marvellous scientific
progress Of the last three or four
centuries.
A strange thing about them is
that they have no confession OF
faith and would tolerate none.
They hold that the mark of the
true Christian is not his creed but
his life. 1t follows that people Of
many different views and beliefs
may and do live together in perfect
harmony under the Mennonite
standard. Their one great diff

Woman's New Estate

Upon Lady Surma, of Assyria,
seems about to fall the great honor
of becoming the first woman presi-
dent of a republic in the history of
the human race. The Assyrian
parliament, which will convene
soon, is expected to elevate this
woman, of whom we have never
heard before, to the highest Office
in the newly organized government.
Human history has never taken
a stranger turn than this if it
should actually come to pass.
Assyria was at one time mistress
of the known world. That period
began nearly four thousand years
ago and lasted about one thousand
years. Almost never were her
armies beaten, one of the excep-
tions being when the Angel Of the
Lord smote $4,000 men Of Senna-
cherib's army in single night as
narrated in the Bible.
In the day when Assyria was at
her zenith, woman was a mere
slave. She was not regarded as a
human being, but as a chattel to
be bought and sold. In the new
day now dawning for the nation, it
is evident that woman it to occupy
a very different station.

The Way of Senators

It is not easy to see why there
should be any opposition to such a
measure as the Sheppard owner
bill, yet it has actually been found
and is proving exceedingly difficult
to overcome.
One of the leading advocates Of
the bill is Senator Kenyon, Of
Iowa. He succeeded in having it
made special order of business
for one o'clock on June %. At
three minutes before one, Senator
Brousard, Of Louisiana, secured the
floor and used the entire hour set
aside for this bill in making a
speech against prohibition. 1t is
one of the rules of our Senate that
no member may be interfered with,
once he has the floor; and so there
was no way to stop him and the
opportunity was lost.
Senator Kenyon again took up
the fight; and once more a special
hour was set apart for the consid-
Grafton of this measure. This
time Senator Underwood, who is
also from the South, secured the
floor just seven minutes before the
time set; and he talked the hour
through about nothing in par
ticular.
Another hour has been named in
which the bill is to have the Fright
of way" It will be interesting to
note what obstructive tactics will
be used on this occasion.

The Mennonites are the religious
sect which objected most strenu-
ously to military service during the
late war. By many it was regarded
as a sign of disloyalty. Such a
view, however, was probably not
justified, as these people have stood
consistently for the principle of
non-resistance ever since they sep
arated themselves from the Roman
Church in the time of Martin
Luther.

Changing the Emphasis

Every woman in America must
feel an interest in the Shepherd
Towner maternity bill, which is
now for the second time before
Congress. It's main purpose is to
provide proper medical care for
mothers, who for any reason are
unable 70 secure it at or near the
time Of childbirth. While there
are. very many for whom such help
is not needed, it is known that
there are many hundreds of thou
sands who do need it and whose
lives would actually be saved
thereby.
Never before have the women Of
America stood so solidly or stead
lastly for the enactment of any
measure. Thirteen national wo-
mems organizations whose total
membership is more than ten mil
lion are putting forth their, utmost
efforts to bring about the passage
of this bill. The National Catholic
Welfare Council has likewise en-
dorsed it most earnestly. And
more recently the American FEEDER
alton of Labor with it's four million
members or more have taken the
same stand.
It is part of the new program
to which the women of the nation
have committed themselves. This
program seeks to shift the stress
from war to peace, from destruc-
tive to constructive activity, from
the increase Of human misery to
the promotion Of human happiness

The Problems of
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
A Parental Sin
.

A few months ago little boy of
six, together with his six-year-old
sister, went to visit their grand
mother. When bed time came the
first night, he began to cry. The
grandmother, thinking that he was
homesick, used every means she
knew to quiet him but found her
efforts vain. Finally the little sis
ter solved the problem by saying
that if they would let her brother
brush his teeth before going to
bed, he would be all right. She
was right; for as soon as the tooth
brush was brought out, the little
fellow grew quiet; and when be
had brushed his teeth, he was
ready for bed.
The case illustrates a truth of
great significance about little chill
dren. They are creatures of habit.
The years of early infancy are the
ones in which the habits are
formed that are to determine their
personal characters and conduct as
we'll as their relations to other peo-
pie in their later years. The three
characteristics OF this period are
physical activity, inquisitiveness,
and habit formation. The first
two give physical and mental de-
velopment, which is as important
as it's mere occurrence.
Little children are utterly help
less to prevent the formation Of
habits. Neither can they choose
what habits they should form since
they do not know the consequences.
The certain thing is that habits of
some kind will be formed and that
unless they are very carefully cho-
sen and nurtured by the parents,
they will in many cases at least be
bad. This fixing Of right habits in
the child's life is the hardest of all
the tasks of the mother during
these early years and the most mo-
mentous in its consequences.
Likewise the neglect of it is the sin
for which there is no atonement in
the training of our children. There
should never be a decision relating
to the treatment of the child in
which this is not considered.
Neither should any concession ever
be made to him that will tend in
any way whatever to fix an unde-
sirable habit in his life.

DOES MISSISSIPPI RIVER
FLOW UPHILL?

docs Mississippi River flow up
hill ~ is frequently the subject OF
school debates, and such debates
usually arise from inaccurate or in
definite uses Of the terms uphill"
and "downhill."
In answer to Il correspondent who
recently made this inquiry, the Unit
ed States Geological Survey sent the
following reply: "Some people de
scribe "down" or "at a lower eleva-
ton when referring to two local.
ties, as the one nearer the center Of
the earth, and consider the "upper'
of the two as the one farther from
the center. II only small area is
considered this is practically true.
but in referring to widely separated
localities, such as the source and
mouth of the Mississippi River, such
definition would lead to an absurd
| ity and must therefore be Incorrect
The surface of water at rest is a
level surface, as that phrase is usually
understood. Any particle of matter
above such surface will be at Il
/ higher elevation, and if acted on by
natural forces alone will tend to go
down toward the water. Mean sea
level is the surface generally accepted
as the datum OF reference plane for
all topographic elevations
The source of Mississippi River is
about 800 feet above mean sea lcve'
Therefore the unrestrained water at
the source of the river, under the az
ton of natural forces, tends to go
down to sea level at the rivers
mouth.
AS the equatorial radius of the
earth is about - miles greater than
the polar radius, and as the inter-
mediate radii differ in length between
these limits, and as the source of the
the Mississippi is nearly 49, of lati
tude farther north than its mouth, it
follows that the mouth of the rive,
is about miles farther from the cen
ter of the earth than its source. The
combined effect of gravity and cen
trifugal force makes the water of the
river run downhill, although actually
the water moves away from the cen
ter of the earth in doing so.
