matum. He said that Germany could
sign, thus putting on Germany a bur
den, the end of which could not be
foreseen, or refuse to sign. after
which would follow occupation of the
Ruhr with terrible results to Ger

THE NEW PAGANISM"

this immemorial trouble, a trouble that was old when Sargon lorded 1t In the dim ,Assyrian land long centuries be- fore Abraham dreamed his dreams un- der the desert stars. The cure is this: "Faith and the restoration of the rules of everlasting principle made supreme in the life of men and the nation"
 Simple enough; but how shall this faith and these everlasting principles be defined? Nobody agrgees about them. We note in a contemporary the following statement: "The more we study parochal statistics, the more we are sure we must be saved by grace and not by any merit and worthiness of our own" very comfortable philosophy for folk who possess adven turous spirit and every taking chance, but one which doubtless will be denied by many respectable and worth while people!
 Personal merit and worth are de sirable here on earth, al least, and should count for something in the land of asphodels, even though some one labels us new pagans'' or self-wor- shippers And perhaps, after all. if We could make the self worthy of worship everything would be all right

THRIFT IN THE SCHOOLS

schools under the auspices of the American Society for Thrift in which more than 100000 compositions on ths subject of thrift were entered.
 A great amount of literature has been disseminated in educat tional cir- cles on the subject of thrift in the schools, and definite text books hase been published. and are still being is sued from time to time.
 It is not considered a discouragins aspect that the work has progressed slowly, as it is recognized amon5 leading educators that in following new lines of education it is highly essential that the ground work be thoroughly and adequately laid. This is particularly true in this case, for if thrift be not properly understood and taught, there might result prac tices of parsimony and avarice. Un- qualified encouragement of non spend ing might, have narrowing effect upon the individual and produce harmful re- suits to the business interests of the country
 The American people will today well come any definite plans for the incul- cation of the principles of thrift in the minds of the young which the schools have to. offer. provided such plans are sound in method and funda- mental in results.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 rN R. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER,
 II y president of Columbia university, ~ discovers evidences of new pagansm,' and tells something about them He holds that the world, after near 1000 years of Christianity, is given over to an idolatry practically the same as that which enthralled an- cient Athens.
 The Athens of Pericles was not so bad, at that. But the distinguished edu- cator may be right, to some extent at least. in saying that the worship or self is responsible for the evils of our times. He sapently concludes that idol worshippers are to be found every where and that each of them discovers his idol in his mirror.
 Is he right? Dangerously near it, it must be admitted. Because men, wom- en and children strive relentlessly for every personal advantage" Dr. Murray ayers that three fourths of the best ability and the best character in the United States remains in hiding.' But, then. have not the best ability and character of the nation also mirrors??

Home for Working
 Women Opens Today

M7 or as large, but quite as im- IN portant as blast furnace or rolling mill in contributing to the dis trict's welfare, is the Katherine Inn, the Big Sisters Cooperative Home for Working Women, that is to be opened today in the old M. T. Porter home on Eighth avenue, north.
 Several months ago the Big Sis ters conducted short campaign and raised funds enabling them to secure this place and furnish it for the use of the working women of Birming- ham. Here 35 of them will have a decent place in which to live at mod crate charge.
 This is the kind of conservation ! that counts for greatest results. That which helps men and women to help themselves and tides them over the rough places that tend to drag them down is the most valuable and ef- ] fective of all forms of human salvage.
 The Katherine Inn is for the pur- pose of preventing human wreckage, either of soul or body. No new year gift to Birmingham is fraught with greater benefaction.

Birmingham Generous to
 Another Worthy Causc

A GAIN Birmingham has generous AA ly responded to a worthy ap- peal to it's pocketbook. Priestly Toul- min, chairman of the drive for the S6o.0OO fund for the Anti Tuberculosis association, reports the fund more than raised. The achievement is all the more remarkable because the campaign was conducted at time when mems minds were disassociated from the impulse to give.
 But the spirit of the Allied armies, which is another name for the spirit of big-minded Birmingham, carried the drive to success. It is evidence that Birmingham is not only gen erous giver, but it also discerning one. It gives most where there is greatest reason to give. There could not have been more appealing call than that which has to do with de- stroying the greatest physical foe of civilized man.
 It is encouraging to know that a large portion of the funds. will be de- voted to placing visiting nurses in the field to teach the individual family how to care for itself in prevention and cure of the disease, especially the prevention of it's transmission from one member of the family to an- other. That alone will save thousands of lives.
 When men and women know the simple rudiments of health preserva- tion and realize them, death rates from all diseases will be reduced to a minimum. The visiting nurses mean this knowledge and this realization.
