HEARTS IN AMERICA.

| We Americans have been ac-
eused of many things. Among
other supposed faults that have
been flung at us is the accusation
that we are "sentimental." "
Let us thank God that we are,
if: Being sentimental means that
our hearts are in the right place
and our pockets aways open to
help acute suffering and distress
anywhere and any time;
Being sentimental means that
we will not let the prediction
come true. that 100000 little
CRYING children shall die this
winter from the most horrible.

disease:
Being sentimental means that

MEMORIAL TO CLARA BARTON
School in Which Great Woman Taught
10 to Be Preserved as Education
T. al Landmark

"A public school is impossible" the
Clara Barton, the greatest woman
teacher of her time, and one of the
best friends to children in all time.
ut has been tried and always it has
failed"
She had taught at Hightstown in
1853, and the fame of her conquests
of expertly bad boys had spread. Her
pupils were her champions, and wher-
ever their enthusiasm could reach
some of the general prejudiceS against
public schools were shaken. But BOr-
dentOwn was ten miles away.
The new teacher took a tumble
down, unoccupied building, with six
pupils, but in six weeks the place was
too small to hold half of the little Bor-
dentOwners who wanted, at last, to go
to school. 1t had become-though no
one knew it then-an educational
landmark. The old structure where
she proved that there was life in pub
lie schools will be taken care Of for
the future.
Since Clara Barton was the founder
Of the Red Cross in America, that Or
ganization took the responsibility Of
buying the school when it was in dam
ger OF destruction, but they could not
buy the site. Now the building has
been moved and the land on which it
stands has been donated.
Burlington county teachers have re-
stored the interior so skillfully that
1t is almost exactly as it was when
Miss Barton taught there.

some western wag has been trying

succeeded, for half dozen veteran
clerks of the quartermaster corps have

the last hundred years in the hope of
finding some record that Charley
served as an Indian scout from 1872
almost to date.
Charley wants some compensation
for his century Of service. now that
he is retired at the age of 1870. and
he plaintively asks if he must wait

er who had the will TO work, who had
a good wife and few simple imple-
