Parents Would DO Right
1T really Is up TO the mothers to
train their boys so they will have the
right ideA about morals. Parents want
to do the right thing, but many of them
do not know how. That Is why the Con-
gress OF Mothers was organized-to help
mothers realize their responsibility and
to do their duty properly"
MISS Beu'ah Fehnimore, principal OF
the kensington High School for Girls,
said from her observations she had not
found immortality or immodest dress
prevalent in Philadelphia schools.

the Mccall School, said she had no great

People are much more sincere and
frankness is making us broader and
better rather than tending toward the

that there is immortality among our
children. l believe that in schools
where teachers are upright and have
the true spirit the children quickly
learn the right. no matter what their
home training or lack Of training may
have been.
How TO Train Children
II do think that parents and teach =
ers alike should train children in per
sonal responsibility. II we do not give
them tasks that are difficult to perform,
their wills are not strengthened. We
should not try so hard to find amuse- =
ments or work that will interest the
child. Rather. We should plan to de-
velop in the child the will to become
interested. The American child today
won't sacrifice himself enough to study
sufficiently to keep him in high school. -

 man side" of the railroad wage ques- ton, in part as follows:
 'It Is to be wondered whether the public really understands the rail way wage reduction questions. There are more through freight brakemen in the United States than there are all other trainmen and yard service employees combined, and this class of service and the passenger train employees represent the lowest rates of wages paid.
 "A through freight brakeman Is paid at present s4.4S for an eight hour day, or at the rate of 56 cents an hour. If the proposed wage cut Is made effective he will receive 51 cents an hour, or $4.0S a day. Pas senger service employees receive 2 cents an hour more than this and local freight and yard men receive a slightly higher rate.
 "Thls means that the bulk of the train service employees receive ap- proximately s2T week for six-day week and whatever Is earned above that amount Is through extra serv- ice. The service is paid for on A mileage basis, but not on an eight hour basis except for freight runs that are within 100 miles. Overtime Is not paid on a strictly eight-hour basis except In yard service and on runs up to 100 miles.
 "The low paid train and yard em- ployes have to meet thet same high cost of living that the public must meet. They are asking only fair service conditions and fair days pay.
 The railroads do not tell the whole truth of daily wages paid when they quote higher amounts of wages earned because they do not say they represent time and extra time.
 There is an abiding faith in the fairness of the American people when they understand the truth of the situation and what has here been said Is the truth and can be proven"
