HOW PARENTS CAN HELP PUPILS.

The boys work department feels
that every parent should read these
suggestions and govern themselves ac-
cordingly for the best interests of their
boys and girls. 1t is only to what eX-
tent close cooperation exists between
parents and teachers that our youth
will receive the greatest benefits from
their scholastic training:
l. By reading carefully all notices
and reports which are brought home.
=. BY encouraging children to
strengthen their weak points as re-
vealed by the report card.
3. BY setting aside a definite hour
of the day for home study.
1. BY withholding judgment regard
ing what happens at the school until
both sides have been heard.
.. BY insisting that children be
punctual and regular in attendance,
and that they are not excused except
for most urgent reasons.
6. BY restricting the child's attend
ance at the movies" and exciting
forms of entertainment.
T. BY having children arrange their
parties and dances for Friday and Sat
urday rather than during the school
week.
S. BY knowing the character of a
''movie" or entertainment before per-
mitting the children to attend.
8. By knowing the character of the
companions of your children.
10. For the upper grade and high
school pupils l suggest that:
Spending money be limited to what
is necessary for lunch, carfare and
other necessities.
Girls be dressed Sin manner which
will invite admiration and respect,
rather than curiosity and comment"

race all over the state assisted with

administration and other influential
citizens among the whites, both men
and women, contributed much to the
passage of the bill.

KTEW YORK, April 19.-Standing
IN in the shadow of the statue OF
Simon Bolivar, the great South
American liberator President Harding,
in an address late Tuesday, reassert-
ed his faith in the doctrine laid down
by Monroe a century ago, and stated
plainly that the United States stands
ready at any time to fight, If neces-
sary, to preserve that doctrine and to
protect the young democracies of the
new world against oppression and tyr
rany.
Diplomats from all over the South
and Latin American countries, and
many from the countries of the old
world, were in the audience which
heard the Presidents simple utter
ance of faith in the destiny of the two
Americas and the warning which ac-
companied it, that the United States
is the ''big brother of the smaller re-
publics in fact as well as in theory
The republics of the new world have
Il great mission to perform as well, the
President declared. He cited world
torn by war and conflict and strife
turning to the two rich young conti-
nents of the western world in hope of
aid.
Herein lie for both of us duty and
opportunity" said the President, duty
to those whom we may help, opportun-
ity in helping others to help ourselves"
with all humility, but in all sin
cerity, 1 feel that we Americans,
north and south, are entitled to hold
that our democracy has come as light
into the world of international rela-
tions. and that it will show us way
out of the worlds present troubles in
to a day when mankind may know
peace and plenty and happiness, and
when the first duty to organized soci-
ety may be to promote the welfare of
its members, rather than to array it
self in power against threat of destruc-
ton.
LET us stand out as an earnest of
more effective cooperation and better
understanding and more intimate and
ever-assuring friendship.
1--WE must have a thought for all
mankind. The world is torn and har-
assed, and pan-Americanism means
sympathetic and generous American
ism. The world needs the utmost of
production, of restoration, of rehabili-
tation, of steadying influence, all that
we can contribute to it. Our greatest
service lies in standing firmly to-
gether, making ourselves strong that
we may give our strength, rich that
we NAV contribute our riches and con-
fident that we may inspire others with
confidence.
'The world needs peace, enterprise,
industry, frugality and commercial de-
velopment We have two rich ana
mighty continents which as whole
have felt far less effects of the great
war than have the older continental
races. To us the world is turning,
with the plea that we draw upon our
resources which nature and our COM
