We know of no finer example to be set to our
young people than that contained in the statement
that the two young people holding the highest
honors in the Class of '21 are two young people
who have had at least as much dependent upon
them in their four years of high school work
any other two students in the cass-in fact it is
rather the sentiment Of the townspeople that they
have probably had more in the way of home duties
and outside employment than any other boy
and girl. Honors have been given them because
they have earned them at a cost of self denial in
the matter of good times, of sacrifice Of many
things which the more thoughtless members Of
the class have deemed essential to their happiness
Ability has not been the only thing back of their
very credtabe achievment; coupled with this has
been wonderful amount of energy and am even
more wonderful amount of that grand old fashion
ed quality of bulldog sticktoitiveness. Simple
in the demands made upon their parents for dress
and luxuries, always serving somewhat as bal
ance wheel to the more giddy members of the
class in planning the various social activities of
the class and school, Anna Fobes and James Gull
have done much more than win high places. They
have left to future students splendid memorial
to hard work and common sense. The town and
the school is justified in being unusually proud
of these two and we have feeling that the town

MOTHERS AND SNOBS.

.HE newspapers have recently carried dlv-'
erting story to the effect that Cleveland
4 mother removed her daughter from the
public school because as she could not afford to
let her wear silk stockings, the girl was socially
ostracized.
It is not likely that the story is true; it seems
far more probable that daughter was removed
because she didn't pass her examinations, rather
than for her plebeian hosiery.
But if it is true it is a bad thing for all con-
cerned. 1t is bad thing for school or COM
n1unity to possess such ludicrous1y false ideals,
to begin with; it is still worse for girl to have
a mother who is incapable Of clothing her daugh-
ter's mind with the real values of life, even it she
cannot clothe her feet in silk stockings; and it is
very unfortunate for the girl herself, for she is
headed straight toward lifetime of shoddy stand
ards and taking her out of school is going to
speed her on her way.
School girls are sometimes cliquey and snob-
bish, prone to emphasize the things that are not
worth while at the expense of the things that
are. 1t takes years of discretion to discover
that the old bromide aphorisms about CLOTHES
do not make the man. "the rank is but the
guinea's stamp" and the like, are true, after
all In our youth we inclined to disbelleve
these things, and look at them old-fogyish
notions No woman with an honest memory but
will recall that she herself preferred new hat
or pair of silk stockings-when she was sixteen
to the pleasure Of making good recitation in
Math or Lit But when she was at home and in
school too, she kept such sentiments to herself,
for she knew they would meet with cold recep-
ton if brought out in the open. Later, she out
grew them.
1t is distinctly the mothers who must watch
for the adolescent, feminine foolish streak and
keep it from developing into something that
eliminates in an affair like this of the Cleveland
school girl It is not easy to do this, but it is
part of the job of being mother Silk stockings
probably have place in "this sorry scheme of
things entire" but they mustn't be considered
badge of social superiority, either in school or
elsewhere A little wholesome laughter, little
plain talk (not too much), and good deal of
letting molehills be moehills, and not mountains,
all skillfully applied, would have changed these
schoolgirls from silly little snobs into something
infinitely more wholesome, and it would have made
the girl who was taken from the school by her
mother realize that silk hose on ones feet are
not so important strength in ones character
and modicum of twinkling common sense in ones
head.-Woman's Home Companion.

SPRINGS MADNESS.

LII winter long man wears hat that IS
~ easy and comfortable-a friendly, slouchy, =,
well-worn sort Of thing that ne can pull
down over his ears when the wind blows or throw
into the air at football game. It's just the sort
Of clothing man ought to wear, not tyrannical
but companionable. And then along comes
spring. In the spring, say the poets' the splr1t
Of man breaks it's bonds fellow feels restless
and indomitable, fit for anything and free as the
wind. He brooks no restraint, not he He looks
upon his good old cap or hat and decides ne ought
to buy another And he does. He goes and gets
himself straw hat-a stiff, uncomfortable, un-
reliable Sort of thing that is faithless to every
passing breeze A man can't roll it up and put
it in his pocket, he can't throw it into the air, he
can't pull it down over his ears, he can't do any
thing with it except wear it daintily and care
fully. until the time comes to smash it in the
autumn and go back to the old cloth hat. And
that's the best proof of the madness OF spring

hat that leaves red mark on a fellows forehead.

"SLACKERS."

WYE are reprinting the following editori:
M from the Duluth Herald because it SO e1
actly comedies with the Gazettes opinio
in the matter Of the publication of the "slacke
list" about which so much is being said at pre-
sent
The war department is issuing a list of
"slackers," numbering, it is said, hundred
and sixty thousand names. This list is to be
posted in government buildings and offered
to newspapers for publication.
For one newspaper, The Herald will not
publish this list.
The department admits that there are pos
sibilities of mistakes in this list; that there
may be in it names of innocent men, AL
ready there have been found in that list names
of men who volunteered either in the Ameri-
can or Allied armies and were fighting and
winning decorations for bravery while the
processes of the draft were dealing with
their names.
Undoubtedly the proportion of such names
is small. Undoubtedly the great ma ajority Of
the men whose names are in this list are
actual slackers-nen who scuttled and ran
to escape the draft.
Nevertheless, The Herald is not interested
enough in helping to pillory the towards to
run the risk of becoming party to in1icting
terrible injustice upon brave men whose
names are in this list by mistake. Until the
every name in the Stacker list is that of an
actual Stacker, that list will not appear in
this newspaper.
