PARENT TEACHER CODES DOING
EXCELLENT WORK

The beginning of the new school
year has marked the beginning also
Of activities on the part Of Parent
Teacher Associations which, to a
marked extent. have aided in making
the public schools more successful. It
is pointed out by individuals whose
business it is to promote the best in
5erests OF the schools that ii takes the
eartv cooperation of patrons to make
the schools success. It is here that
the Parent-Teacher Association, which
have grown steadily in numbers and
influence. since the first one was es-
ablished, are proving their worth.
BY working in close cooperation and
sympathy with the teaching staff. the
principals and the boards of educa-
ton. says an observer. the Parent
Teacher Association members may do
much toward keeping up a full atten-
dance of pupils. encourage application
to studies at home on the part of their
children. discourage truancy. and aid
in ironing out troubles between in
structors and pupils that since schools
existed have cropped up on occasions.
The Parent : Teacher Association,
serves a fine purpose in stimulating
interest on the part of elective officers,
state. county, and city. and the public
generally in the schools and the work
which the latter are doing. as well as
.encourag ing the development of a fine
American spirit in the children VINO

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DIR. WILLIAM 6. BARTON
MoLEHILls
~ DR.

We We're going up the Tennessee
river and we sat at a table across from
q pleasant couple who had as nearly
as we could discover. only one fanls.
They could decide upon nothing with
out long discussion. Those 7lscus-
sions were wholly harmonious. There
was no disagr cement. but only the
long and painstaking Weighing Of aIl
possible and impossible considera-
tions.
They found that they had brought
with them more wraps than they
needed; and as they planned for a
trip by carriage before their return.
all superfluous wraps were in their
way They discussed long what they
should send back. and decided upon
a heavy cloalS-- Then they discussed
now to get it back to their home. and
after long conference decided upon
parcels post.
Then the mighty question rose.
from what point should they ship it
back? After much inquiry port
decided upon where the boat would
make a long stop on a given after
noon.
These good people had a stateroom
next to ours. On the night before the
eventful day when the cloak was to
be returned. they discussed the mat
ter long into the night. They rose
earlier than usual next morning, and
folded and wrapped the cloak.
They inquired of the captain, the
purser and the chambermaid. and l
presume Of others, the direction from
the landing to the postoffice. and
whether it was quite certain the boat
would stop long enough for the man
to get to the postoffice and back.
They had prolonged discussion as
to the amount Of postage, and wheth-
CT, after all. it would not be better
and safer to ship it by express: but
they returned to the plan of the par
cells post.
They were both at the side OF the
boat when the landing was reached
and he scrambled up the bank and
disappeared. He mailed the package.
and was back on board painting and
persDiring and tired out with half an
hour to spare; and the reunited cou-
pie hailed each other with great joy;
they had met and safely passed
great crisis.
We have learned in our family not
to make much fuss about little
things. It is not worth while to
worry and fret about trifles or to
spend half ones life making noun
tains out Of molehilis and the other
half trying to climb the mountains.
I am satisfied that not every one
has learned that simple lesson. and
I know that it would add much to
the comfort OF many lives if people
could learn to treat molehills as
something to be stepped over and left
behind, and to save life's energy for
real mountains.

MONOPOLY. highly profitable to the in
ner circle. Most people still think that
our banking system, and especially
the new capstone of the system. the
federal reserve bank, is a govern
mental institution. AS a matter OF
fact it is the worlds greatest uncon-
troIed monopoly interlocking with
some of the leading speculative inter-
ests of the country. 1t is not at all
so designed or conducted as to fur
nish our greatest and basic industry
with production credit but capable Of
being SO enjoyed as to wreck that in
dustry or any part of the country at
will.
1t must so remain so long as SIS per
cent of the people must serve and is
per cent rule, and while 2 per cent of
the people control So per cent of the
wealth of the land.
All this can and should be changed
Tt can be done away with by the
adoption Of Senate bill 2342 to estab-
lish an honest money. system.
In other words, the rot of the great
evils that have come upon us is the
outcome of the method of conducting
our present banking system which
Salmon p. Chase helped to establish
and later so strongly condemned.
The dangers of this system were
bound to come upon us. It was clearly
foretold by Abraham Lincoln at tha
close Of the Civil war.

that touched me but the tone in which
they were uttered. 1t had a tenseness

ever truth l had tried long to disre-
gard-that the young physicians in

er than friendship.
tried to acquit myself Of any blame
for this condition of things. tried to
tell myself that the man was wholly
unwarranted IN his feeling as far as
any encouragement of mine was con-
cerned. Then my memory, always re-
lcntlessly accurate, brought back stray
words and glances of mine, trivial and
harmless enough in themselves, but
which my conscience told me Z never
should have directed toward DR. Petit
when I had any reason TO suspect the
nature Of his feeling for me.
I had salved my conscience before
with the excuse that my wholly innoc
uous friendship with the physician
if so slight an affair could be called
friendship--had been a chapter OF
accidents, most OF them caused by
Dicky's neglect of me. our meeting
at the Madison square Garden, as an
instance, on the night of the Presi-
dents speech there. was direct re
suit of Dickys desertion of me in the
crowd in order to rescue Edith Fair
