 Loyalty in France
 During the time that the American ExpeditioEary Forces were in France they had the opportunity of studying the home life and the school life of the children of that beautiful coun- try, and l believe that the one thing that was impressed upon our boys with the greatest force was the by atty shown to home and country by the children of France. When we arrived in their country they had al ready gone through a threeyear per iod of war. They had suffered and starved They were tired and cold. They had been called upon 10 go through hardships that would make the strongest heart weaken, and still their love for their homes and for their country was just as strong as it had ever been Not once had they shown weakness: not once had they indicated by word or action that they would yield and in studying them at close range in their own country. we were made, to realize that this love of home and country was brought about by the fact that 1t was instilled in the minds of the children years ago, and was passed on from parent to children for years and years. and in passing thr ough each successive generation that love for home and country has grown stronger.
 Land Of Our "Fathers''
 Tho French in speaking of their homes use the term La patrie,' brief rousinG word, which means the Land of Our Fathers" It is the ancient association of the hearths and all that has been handed down 10 them by the hearths that pre- ceeded their own. The word country tahs as an equivalent because it is used in various non-emotional senses. whereas "patrie" never stands for anything but the land that they would be ready to die for. and 1t is never used without visible or sup pressed emotion.
 Then they have the word "chez." which other countries might well envy them. It comes from the Laiin casa which means 'the house."

American ruucaIlon Week is be- ing observed throughout the United g ates December to 10. It has heen planned jointly by the National Education Association and the Ameri- can Legi2n's National Americanism mission anc the commission in sponsoring the plan.. is building high hores for the success of the week.
 The American Legion has set the attainlnent of a better Americanism 2s one of it's major objectives. It is ono of our fundamental purposes. The nation is expecting great things of ihe American Legion. and is expect ing the,e great things largely be. cause of the high aims we have set for ourselves in the vast field which we term ;-Americanism. Up to the present time we have been confront. ed by many pressing problems which directly concerned us and we still have many, of ehem to solve. but as one by one they are solved. the Americanism work of the Legion will progress to the fore, and grow in importance.
 BetteVment Of Schools
 The betterpnent of our schools Is one of the most important in the Americsnism work ahead. for we re- alize that in building a better Amer lea. and in establishing better citi- zenshia. we must begin with the chill dren. for our future lies with them The great trouble in the past has been that we have taken too much for granted. Our American institu- tions have been taken as a matter of course. Our fine schools of to- day. in every part of our country. as against the lktle one room school house of only a few years ago, are accepted by the children, with dis and indifference, and, while we would not change this one particle. still we want to establish in the minds of the children. anprecl-

facts but tell a downright untruth.
In the short space OF eight years
workmen's compensation provisions
have been written into the statutes
OF forty-hve states and territories,
In addition TO the model act OF the
Federal Government for its million
civilian employees More than
thirty states have amended their
compensation laws, generally TO
provide workers shorter waiting
periods before payments begin, and
wider scope. Ten states raised
their scale OF compensation, so
that there are now twenty-five
states which provide compensation
for injured workers OF at least six
ty to sixty-sfx per cent of their
wages. WOmen's working hours
have been reduced and minimum
wage laws for women and children
have now been enacted in fourteen
states, In addition to the District Of
Columbia.
1t has been estimated recently,
after an exhaustive study of the
subject, that the purely capitalistic
return-namely. profits, interest and
rent-upon the wealth OF the coun-
try Is not In excess Of Ave per cent
OF the fixed wealth. And IL is inter
esting to note persons with incomes
of So, 900 or less receive about tsFty-
Eve per cent OF the dividends paid
By corporations and a much larger
proportion. perhaps Seventy-nve per
cent. Of the Government, state, mu-
nicipai and corporate interest pay
ments. One large corporation
alone has more than ninety thou
sand common stockholders.
There is encouragement in the
fact that appreciation Of some OF
these fundamental truths on the
part Of the more intelligent labor
leaders Is manifest today. They
are beginning to understand that
cooperation with capital Is impera-
tive, as was evidenced recently BY
