HONOR CLAIMED FOR BOSTON
First Public School In United States
10 Said to Have Been In
That City.

II Is probable that the beginning OF
the American public school was In
Massachusetts. In 1885 the people Of
Boston assembled 10 town meeting, re.
quested Philemon PurmOnt to become
schOOlmaster and voted him 80 acres
Of land In part pay for his services.
The school begun by Purmont later
became the Boston Latin school and
has had continuous existence to the
present time. Other settlements fol-
lowed BOstOn's example and within
the next ten years common schools
were established In all the New Eng.
land settlements. In 1647 the gen,
eral court Of Massachusetts, ordered
every town having 30 families to ap-
point teacher, whose wages were to
be paid by the parents Of the children
he taught or by the inhabitants In
general. At the same time townships
having 100 families were required to
establish grammar school to fit
youth for college. The law establish
ing these two grades Of schools laid
the foundation OF the public school
system In the United States. Three
years later a similar law was passed
in Connecticut, but Rhode Island
made no attempt to form school
system until 1890.

Only Outdoor Inauguration.

The United States, although Its cap
ital is In more rigorous climate than
those of many republics, Is alone In
having an "al fresco" Inauguration.
The first four Presidents were iLau-
gurated indoors, and beginning with
the third President, Jefferson, the In
augurations took place In Washing
ton. Monroe, the first President to
be sworn In out Of doors. chose the
east pOrticO Of the capitol because Of
dispute as to whether he should
be lnagurated In the house Of repre-
sentatives or the senate chamber. AZ
ter q return to the indoor lnaugura-
ton by Jackson, the outdoor cere'
monies were resumed. Because they
seemed to fit in so well with American
ideas Of democracy, permitting the
general public to see the procedure,
they have been retained.--NatiOnal

Many playthings can be made for
small children from pasteboard.
To make wagon use four-cor-
nered box to which pasteboard wheels

these latter put through the sides OF

common pins or small nails to hold
the wheels on the axles. A small box

PICK EN- FOR OTHERS
But NOT FOR HIMSELF

Los ANGELES, June 3O--Martha
A. Padley doesn't understand the
principles OF advertising, nor how un-
pleasant mIsdirected publicity can
be.
Benjamin w. Padley, Martha's hus-
band, thinks so at least. Benjamin
runs a matrimonial agency.
Martha Is suing him for divorce.
Not only that. but she is telling the
world the things Benjamin doesn't
know about matrimony.
It's all being threshed out in Judge
]. Perry Woods divorce court, set
ting not new to either benjamin or
Martha. They were divorced once
before. That was Immediately after
the police had locked up Benjamin's S
love brokerage office on complaint
of neighboring tenants, and incar-
cerated its proprietor and several OF
his too-affectionate clients for time.
The Padley's however, remarked.
and once more the marrige-to-Order
shingle was hung out on Benjamin 5
doorstep.
All would have been well, prob
ably, if Mrs. Padley had not over
heard her spouse make an untimely
not to say tactless, remark to the
effect that while he could pick 'em
for other people all right, he'd cer-
tainly made poor choice in the mat
rimonial grab bag himself.

addition Of a novel stoleliks collar Of

their deep appreciation and
sincere thanks to all those who

: To the ladies, who aided so
materially and willingly in
providing for the comforts and
pleasures Of the visiting
knights and their candidates.
TO the members of theNew
Iberia, Jeanerette an Thibo.
deaux Councils, who advised,
assisted and directed in the
preparation and in the actual
work Of the initiation.
To Rev. ]. Rousseau for his
able and eloquent sermon at
the church services. and
To his Lordship, J. B. Jean.

true Of the banking business. \ 7'ry
gr.at number Of people are surprisingly
in the dark regarding the functions of
banks and banking Among certain
class of people thorc is an attitude OF
suspicion toward the banker because
they do not understand what he Is doing
in the economy of modern business.
These people shodld be informed
through newspaper advertisements aud
through letters.
Of course a lot Of banks are advcr-
Using. They run an 'ad every week
or So about safety, service and CONVEX
yatism. Or perhaps they content them
selves with running the bank state

Why wouldn't il be good idea to
run a series of advertisements, or 10
use letter to explain to people what Is
meant by the various items in the bank
report, capital, liabilities, dema~ loans,
farm loans, and 50 forth. Then, give
them some really practical information
about the federal reserve system, not
in high sounding legal terms but IN
plain everyday talk that they can
understand. Tell them now to use
bank. Most of us have no idea how much
a bank would help US if We would let
it,
We believe you would find that such
a course Of advertising would pay you
well.
