A Little Talk on Thrift

ut is matter of great Importance to the
country that steady progress is being made in
the introduction of thrift teachings in the
schools, which is being accomplished through the
application of the thrift principle to various
branches of study" said S. w. Straus
Educational tendencies today are more to-
ward equipping the child for constructive citizen
ship than for merely filling the youthful mind
with abstract knowledge. Educators dscov-
ering that many of the problems of practical life
can be demonstrated in the laboratory of the
class room. We cannot get away from the fact
that the world of tomorrow is sitting in the
school room of today. Manhoods deeds are
mostly childhood's ideals and ambitions grown
up.
eff humanity is to have the material, physi-
cal, mental and moral values that come from
thrift, the foundation must be laid in the school
room. Unfortunately there has been a some
what general misunderstanding of the true
meaning of thrift, and we sometimes hear it
given encouragement today as though it con-
sisted only of the purposeless boarding of money.
TIE be sure, money saving is one of the good chill
dren of the thrift family, but there many
other children in the family equally as good.
Money 3 mere symbol of wealth, and it's
true worth is only to be measured by the power
it contributes as constructive force for human
through thrift and rightful industry gives the
poise necessary to human happiness and sue
cess, but the gaining of money merely for the
sake of possession, without thought of the good
and rightful uses to which it can be applied, is
not within the true meaning of thrift
"While it is gratifying to observe that more
and more attention is being given to thrift in
SEPARATION in the minds and hearts of the school
children it is most essential that this subject be
approached with care and understanding. Above
everything else let not teach thrift from the
standpoint that it merely means putting away
money, wearing patched clothes or glorlfyng
greed and tightfistedness.
'"These concepts do not harmonic with the
American spirit and American ideals.
LET us give to posterity through the me-
dunn of our schools, the thrift of efficiency and
progress and the encouragement of every phase
of rightful human progress

The Revolt in Russia

Opposition to Bolshevism in Russia did not
originate in any of the Socialist societies. but in
the unorganized masses themselves. Hence, the
world is wondering who are it's leaders and what
are its main purposes after it has overthrow
Bolshevism.
This lack of information also prevents an
adequate survey of the chances of success. Means
of communication with the interior are badly
demoralized, and all news that leaks through is
more or less colored in the transmission.
The non-poitical aspect of the revolution may
be the very means of its success. The masses
are dealing with realities now, after painful ex-
pertinent with the visionary schemes of the Boil
shevist leaders. They have seen the promises of
equality shattered against the stern facts of
actuality. In lieu of abundance and leisure the
masses have endured starvation and exposure
They have seen their industries crumble under
Bolshevist administration and their agricultural
regions devastated by Red soldiers. Their whole
country presents one of the saddest pictures of
history. The crimes that have been inflicted
upon the Russian people by alleged political
party are the most heinous recorded by the his
torian. 4-
Mankind can endure only much persecution
and oppression until it rises in revolt and de-
mands relief, without paying any attention to
the political aspects of the situation. The Rus
sian people had reached the limit of their endur-
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-03-14

ance when they struck for liberation from the
system that on its face promised to every citizen
the broadest opportunity for the attainment of
happiness. If the Bolshevist authorities keep
their control of the military, the latest uprising
will not go very far; but reports say that even
the soldiers are joining the new revolution.
The world hopes that the masses will sue
coed in overthrowing their Bolshevist tyrants
and regaining their freedom. Bolshevism had it's
chance to demonstrate its worth on a broad SCALE
but all that it could produce in Russia was whole
sale massacres, depopulated Cities ravaged coun-
try districts, starvation and pestilence.

lefrauding the Innocent

Fake collectors of income taxes are defraud-
ing taxpayers in such numbers and with such
good results that the government has issued the
following warning:
Persons who approach taxpayers saying
they have come to collect the income tax are in
every instance attempting to defraud the public.
In the payment of the income tax the public is
required to seek the government and not the
government the public
. No instances of this form of fraud have been
reported in this community, but the warning of
the government ought to be remembered by the
thousands who pay this form of taxation. I'm
posters possess an unmitigated amount of nerve
by reason of which they are able to take advan-
tage of the ignorance and gullibiity of the public
Just remember that the government isn't
seeking you, but you must seek the government
to pay your income taxes, and you will not fall
victim to the guile of the swindlers who are prac-
ticing this new form of deception.

DOG. The Most Faithful Friend.

The best friend man HAS in I1is
world may turn against him and
become his enemy, His son or
daughter that he has reared with
loving care, may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest
to us, those whom we trust with
our happiness, and our good name,
may become traitors to their faith.
The money that a man has he may
lose. 1t flies away from him per-
haps when he needs 1t most. A
mans reputation may be sacrificed,
in moment of i'll considered action.
The people who are prone to fall
on their knees to do us honor when
success is with us, may be the first
to throw the stone OF malice when
failure settles its cloud upon our
heads. The one absolutely unset
fish friend that man can have in
this selfish world, that one that
never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungrateful or treaeh-
erous, is i his dog. A mans dog
stands by him in prosperity, and in
poverty, in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground,
where the wintry winds blow, and
the snow drives fiercely, II only he
may be near his masters side. He
will kiss the hand that has no food
ID offer, he will lick the wounds
with the roughness of the world.
and sores, that come in encounter
He guards the sleep of his pauper
master as If he were a prince, when
all other friends desert, he remains,
When riches take wings and repu-
tation falls to pieces, he is as con-
slant in his love as the sun in its
journey through the heavens. If
fortune drives the master forth an
outcast in the world, friendless and
homeless, the faithful dog asks no
higher privilege than that of ac-
companying him to guard against
danger, and when the last scene of
all comes, and death takes the mas
ter in its embrace, and his body is
laid away in the co1G ground, no
matter if all other friends pursue
their way, their by his mound will
the noble dog be found, his head
between his paws, his eyes sad, but
open in alert watchfulness, faithful
and true even to aeath.-Teddy's

School Exhibit.

During thes present week the
grades and the commercial depart
ment OF the high school have had
some of their school work on ex-
hibition. The work is in the hall
on the second floor 1t is system
matically arranged by grades SO
that it is not difficult to find papers
from any student if you know which
room he is from. There is work
from every student in the grades
and 1T is hoped that all parents who
have children in school will come
to see it. Much of the work is ex-
cellent but TO make it representative
the work of the poorest student
must go up along with that Of the
best student. Charts and note
books which have been used for
months are shown. BY looking
these over one can readily see how
the work of one student compares
with that of the other students in
the same room. To add touch of
the artistic the work done by the
students in drawing is used. Much
written work and many note books
are covered by artistic cover de-
signs. The hasty observer might
say that art is on exhibition rather
shan actual written work. Look
between the covers and you will
find much work of all kinds.
Both students and teachers have
done considerable extra work to
make this display possible. They
hope that their efforts will be well
repaid by seeing a large number of
parents and patrons present to in
vestigate what has been done. To
make it more convenient for the
fathers and mothers who cannot at
tend in the day the school building
will be open Friday evening from
seven until ten o'clock.
