Suggestions based on our observa-
! tons:
Sweep evenings.
Dust every morning.
Insist on correct position during
Palmer writing. Have penmanship
or drawing every day.
Teach addition and substraction at
the same time. For instance. plus
5 equals II, II minus 5 equals 7, II
minus equals 5.
Follow the annual for each YEAR
work in arithmetic, Teach fractions
in fifth grade.
Drill for expression in reading.
Oral reading three times a week and
| silent two times.
If the teachers would spend as much
| time in drill on the different five com
binations as they do having the pupils
learn their tables, they would accom-
plish many times as much in actual
results,
Educational Greed and Program.

Everyone of us needs to realize
the heroism of the daily duty and
to appreciate these quiet, unassum-
ing people who do the worlds work
without the flourish of trumpets or
the blare of arms During the
worlds war there were girls who
Went to France and who did wonder
full things for the Red Cross and the
\. NJ. G. A. And there were girls
who stayed at home and did wonder
ful things for the courage and
heartache of their old parents who
were filled with anxiety about their
boy lover there" Which girl had
the hardest task2 If you have ever
faced dreary, deadening mOnotony
you will know the answer.
So we should recognize these daily
duties for ourselves aud try TO EN-
ulate the example of those who do
them as matter OF course. Every
town has its "martyr"-that person
who gets everyone's sympathy for do
ing nothing but their plain duty
while there are probably dozens of
others in the town doing the same
thing but keeping still about it
simply because they know it is their
duty. Learn TO recognize true worth
and don't become infected by those
people who have that peculiar di-
sease called running off at the
head"-in other words a super-abun-
dance of gas or hot air.

The place that gives man his
living is entitled to his best efforts
to advance everything calculated to
benefit the place and the commun-
ity. No man has a right to live in
a live town who seeks to enrich him
self and not actively identify him
self with it's interests. To be class
ed as dr0ne or a chronic kicker
and opposed to every measure be-
lieved to be for the good of the citi-
zens, is stigma that should attach
itself to no self respecting man in
the community.

AMERICA TO HAVE REPRESENTATIVE ON
 SUPREME COUNCIL
(Continued form Page one)

the approval of the Congress as would nave been necessary had it been de- sired to appoint an official represent ative of the government.
 Administration officers have indi- cated that one of the first subjects of a general character to be taken up by MT. Harvey will be the question of a world conference for disarmament. While the President has asked that no action on this question be initiated in Congress in the present state of con- ditions in Europe some of those close to the White House expect that as soon as the present emergency has passed the supreme council will be asked by the United States to take up the whole disarmament question.
 WALLACE TO SERVE
 For the present. Ambassador Wallace will be the American observer on the conference of ambassadors. He acted in this capacity for the Wilson ad- ministration until decision was reached early in the year to withdraw him and also MT. Boyden as the unofficial rep resentatives with the reparations com mission. This action was taken, it was explained, in order to avoid any possi- ble embarrassment to the new adminis- tration. Myron T. Herrick the newly appointed ambassador to France, will relieve MT. Wallace in the near future.
 MT. Boyden sat with the reparations commission for many months and also was the unofficial American repre- sentative at the recent allied financial conference at Brussels. He was held at Paris by the last administration so that he would be on the ground in the event the present administration de- sired to authorize him to reassume his duties.
 Both republican and democratic sen ators were agreed that the Presidents action in accepting the invitation of the council would require no express sion or action by the Senate. Repub- licans on the foreign relations com mittee said the Presidents course ap- peared to be wise in that he could ob tain information which otherwise prob ably would be lost to this government

 The Dial amendment is the successor of the Conner amendment. The Dial amendment would require the cotton exchanges to deliver any amount of cotton purchased in two grades selected by the exchanges and two grades selected by the purchaser. At present the exchanges are able to de- liver any cotton purchased in any one of the 10 legal grades.
 The Dial amendment seemingly has fine chance of successfully passing the congress. The author contends that It will rectify the greatest evil that mas ever operated against the prosper lty Of the cotton producing states of the union. The Conner amendment passed the Senate, but died in the House.

MAY BE NOTHING IN
 THIRTEEN AFTER ALL

Montgomery. May 6.-(Specisl.) .)- When Friday. the thirteenth come to- gether, there may be bad luck, but those who are determined to erect the Bob Jones revival tabernacle for Mont gcmery do not think so. They have decided to construct the building in one day, and have selected Friday, the thirteenth of May. as the time for the work
 Weather records were consulted and this offered further proof that Friday, the thirteenth is not So unlucky. Dur ing the past 4S years it has rained only nine times in Montgomery on May Is. and since 1915 not a drop has fallen on this day.
 Bob Jones has donated his vacation period to the revival with the under- standing that his services are to be rendered to his home city of Montgom- cry without financial reward. The re- vival will continue for five weeks or so much thereof as may be necessary tc clean up Montgomery morally
 Bob Jones' revival will be a forerun- ner of the coming of Billy Sunday. The latter has promised to come to Mont gcmery, but his other engagements will prevent his appearance for year or more
