DIVORCE IS
MENACE TO
AMERICAN HOME
A Newport Chautauqua
Speaker Warns of Evils
of Present Day

'Thc Great American Home
was pictured and idealized before
an enthusiastic audience at New
port by Cotton Noe, poet and lee
turer and head of the department
OF education Of the University OF
Kentucky. He wove into the fine
fabric of his compelling lecture
lines from his own poems. He gave
graphic word pictures of his old
Kentucky home and of other homes
which he had known during his
boyhood. Mr.. Noe is a veritable
artist in the painting of word pic
lures, and these the Chautauqua
patrons will not soon forget.
The strength Of the Roman EN-
pire was conceived in the home, he
asserted. Likewise, the strength of
he American home is the founda-
ion Of the power and influence of
America so strong in past years.
He severely criticized the latent
weakness of the home circle today
iue to the trend of modern life,
which leads many from the home.
The movies and drama also came
under the ban of the speaker when
ne declared that these painted as
heroes and helOines those who
Tipped their fingers at the mar
liage vows.
He spoke in no uncertain terms
Of the vast significance Of the di-
vorce evil, on account of which
civilization in the past, was de-
graded.
Abraham Lincoln is the greatest
product of the American home,
said Mr.. Noe, who took the oppor-
tunity to digress, While denying the
report that the great Lincoln was
born out of wedlock. The bond
which Lincoln's parents signed at
the time of their marriage, rests
in county office near Mr.. Noes
home. A copy of the bond, he car
ries in his pocket for the inspection
of all.
Six vocalists from the Tuskegee
Normal Institute, Tuskegee, Ala
bama, furnished the entertainment
in the evening, to the entire salts
faction of all concerned. These
singers who are widely known, on
account of the Victor records
which they have made, gave a
brief prelude in the afternoon on
Tuesday. Their numbers consisted
of the old negro melodies, including
many sacred songs The blend of
their splendid voices was almost
perfect. The result was most
pleasing harmony.
William l.. Dawson was also a
trombonist Of no mean ability. His
trio OF trombone solos were among
the features of the day. The aud
fence clamored for more but there
was not enough time.
Alvin J. Nicely, registrar of Tus-
kegee Institute, took 4 few min
utes in the evening Tuesday to tell
of the work of that school, which
was founded by Booker T. WASH
Ington for the benefit Of students
of the colored race in America. The
Institute has 2200 students, 200
teachers, and more than 100 build
ings and was founded 40 years ago.

Only four safe hits-that's all that

In spite Of the fact of declining
rural population, we see a crop in
1920 which, while not the largest we
ever had, exceeds that of many pre-
vious years when the farm population
was much greater. This reveals that
machinery ana better cultura! methods
are ayerting the threatened evil OF
loss Of farm labor, and that we may
have been overconeerned and too fear
full Of the future. says St Louis Globe

the world-old habit Of adjusting them

slant change, Of new devices TO meet

so sure Of its ability to produce and

resourceful American people will find
ways TO overcome the menace Of ag-
ricultural insufticiency.

cooo THAI LUNCHES DO.

The ideal accompaniment 10 health
education in the schools, and the dis
coyery Of underweight, is the school
lunch. saws School Life. In every case
in which school lunches have been
made available, and the teaching Of
food values has gone on, too, the chill
dren have made wonderful progress
in weight. Improvement in physical
condition is accompanied by improved
school standing. 1t has been stated by
authorities that the school lunch
without health education does little.
Boys and girls who are taught what
70 eat, and then have the opportunity
to eat it, learn the taste IF unaccus-
toned foods and carry a practical les
son right home, and this lesson is cas-
fly repeated there Many children
have been found playing school at
home and teaching the value of yar1-
Gus foods to their younger brothers
and sisters. When the parents notice
and come to school TO find out from
the teacher what il all means, the most
valuable link in the chain of health
for the school child is forged. There
are hundreds of ways Of pointing out
to school children the value Of health
habits, AID teachers and scholars
themselves, acting on the impulse Of
the moment, can achieve great things.

Il is estimated, on a basis of a
QUESTIONABLE study made by the chill

Department Of Labor, that 10000
children were brought before the
courts In the United States in year.
OF these, $4,000 came before courts
not adapted 70 handling children's
cases. Although every state, except
one, had laws providing for Juvenile
probation, according TO Investigations
Of the bureau, less than half of the
courts hearing chiIdren's cases actu-
ally had probation service. The ma
jority OF the courts failed TO make
adequate investigation Of the child's
home and family circumstances, his
physical and mental condition and his
personal tendencies.

Probably about this time a great
many of our young people are won
dering what they are going TO do 10
the fall Every fall for the past twelve
years. or for as long as they can
remember, school has doomed ahead
of them as the only possible solution.
But some of them finished school IN
June and now they are trying TO decide
just what to do.
To these we would say, unless there
is some absolutely unsurmonnta0le
obstacle, complete your education IN
some good college Probably We are
not the only ones to give you advice.
You have doubtless been hearing it
from all sides,
But getting down to brass tacks
it is after all simple matter to de-
eide for or against the value OF a
college education, Just as easy as 1t
is to decide whether farmer should
use the tools and machinery to work
his farm, which the twentieth cen
fury has given him, or whether he
should use the tools and machinery
of two centuries ago.
Possibly some people who do not
realize the actual need for a college
degree have said to you, pointing to
some man who has achieved fame,
Look at him. He never went to
college" True enough, but he be-
longed to different age. and gust so
surely as you do not take advantage
of the tools this age has given to you.
just so surely you Will find yourself
on an exact parallel with a farm that
is worked now with eighteenth cen
fury machinery.
Aud college education has been
made possible for everyone now. II
is not the luxury for the idle rich
that 1t WAS twenty years ago If you
have the proper spirit you can make
a go of it. If you don't get good
education in this day and age, il is
merely due TO your own inertia and
lack 6f ambition. And the incou-
Venient part of it is. employers are
going 70 know that and the lack OF
a degree will be a blot on your
character as we'll as on your educa-
tion aud earning capacity. SO con
slider well young people, and get ON
