The Wrangell sentinel., 1921-01-20

The regular monthly meeting of the Parent-Teachers Associa- tion was held last Thursday even- ing in the assembly room of the school. Translations from Cicero were given by two high school pupils, Alfred Royalty and Mari on Myers. MT. Carlson read a paper on "The Value of Athletics in the School. ;" Later a sugges- tion was made to have this paper read to the school as means of encouraging regular habits and clean living among the boys if they desire to excel in athletics. Mrs. Towers and Mr. Carlson contributed some very enjoyable vocal music. The closing number was an excellent paper by Mrs. Towers on "The Purpose and Power of the Parent Teachers Association" in which the influ- ence of the. mother on the child from earliest infancy was dwelt upon. Mrs. Towers spoke of the responsibility that rests upon pa rents and teachers and handled the subject in a way that won the unanimous praise of all who heard it. Following the regular program, an informal discussion of the matter of taking over the pupils of the Government school was held for awhile. The prop osition will no doubt be taken up more fully at the next meeting,
 the second Thursday in February as it is the desire of the school board to know just how the com- munity stands on the subject.

The Appeal

s,h, Editor OF the Evening Public Ledger:
slr-I note in the newspapers that 200. .ouo
ren are expected to parade In New iorR
on July as protest against prohibition.
What a contrast in the spirit OF these
es,aders and that OF the men OF 70! TIL,
latter ware inspired by the loftiest motives
IN their efforts to set forth principles thar
would upft humanity, and time has shown
them to be Of tho greatest blessing. not
only to our country. but TO the world at
large.
Tho motive Of those back OF the proposed
parade Is for a return TO the reign OF booze.
I, other words It Is to be a grandstand play
for the beer keg We doubt not but that
tftr "aoats' will carry displays or men
Dispensing different brands Of Are water.
When stripped of It's camoufiage this whole
affair stands for debauchery. degradation
and death TO multtudeS in its final analysis.
II Is an appeal to the low. sordid and base
natures OF men. 1t Is n challenge to America
to protect itself II II dares. from the
rauges Of the rum power
Then there Is another rhas to the uues-
ton OF putting on OF that parade--namely,
the encouragement It gives nulliners. II
mme Of tho men In that city who are operat-
Ing saloons IN defiance OF the law should see
srch great army march by and wsro told
That 1t was protest against the prohibition
OF the liquor traffic. their contempt for law
and order would be greatly increased. No
question about II. II would embolden then.
IN their disoyalty to such an extent that
they would be ready to use force to 'protect
their rights ns they mistakenly call them.
And the moment an overt act" az Cen
eral Jackson called It. is committed that
Is treason, and the person who Cncour-
ased It is as liable for punishment as
me one who did the deed. There Is no
escaping that conclusion. Paraicrs had
better go slow, for Uncle Sam may be
more wide awake TO that kind OF danger
nan some people imagine.

The Workman's Side

70 the Editor Of the EUCnin0 Public Ledger:
sir-The papers carried the news tho
o,hey day that the Industrial Conference
held at Washington announced that living
costs have fallen 10 per cent since last
July, but that they still are 65.7 per cent
higher than before the war. so that IL food
costs have fallen 10 per cent the wage
worker Is quite as bad off because wages
have gone down from IS to 30 per cent in
many lines
Food Is not all that workngman must
have contrary TO the apparent opinion of
those who neither spin nor weave. Rents
are up Gas. light, telephone, medical at
tention amuScments. insurance. taxes. etc.
have not been reduced and II Is safe to say
they never will be. Many articles are as
dear as at the high lido of war. Take
collars for instance. Also proprietary rem
tdIes bread milk and many kinds Of meat.
We still see 40 cents worth of leather
IN the form Of a girls or woman's shoe
marked $40 and s12 pair. There are
plenty Of men in Philadelphia now work
ing for 40 cents an hour who were getting
DSS and 20 cents at this time last year.
There are those who need to know that
xorkingman cannot live on beans. maca-
ron, and cornmeal. which are reduced in
price. That sort of diet Is no more con-
tuciye to making 100 per cent Americans
than Is the better class citizens who. be-
cause a few minor articles drop in price.
