 TEST OF PROHIBITION

Chicago. III, May 6.-The country should give the prohibition amend ment a trial for about 30 years. to see whether it is the best thing for us or not" in the opinion of Judge K. M. Landis.
 q warn you that the 18th amend ment is in danger of notification by bureau heads-those deuces and treys of ofIicialdom-who are mak- ing a lot of rules which permit soft drink saloons to sell booze in bot ties labeled 25 per cent. alcohol; for medicinal purposes only" said Judge Landis.
 ~ "There are a lot of crooked sa- loonkeepers getting away with it too, with a lot of crooked doctors and druggists in cahoots. l know of instances where they had sold booze for as high as $32 a quart. How do they do it? Well, l have been through it for a year, and it's too much for me"

The Women's Club gave q very delightful entertainment at Social Center on May 2. The floral decor atiOns, with Mrs. George R. Dedman as director, assisted by corps of efficient workers, made the hall seem like summer with the many beautiful things. The flowers were very natural and only lacked the perfume to deceive the very elect. The report of Mrs. Helen D. Lynch, in rhyme, was a very clever bit of work and shows that the fair author has talent. The refreshments did credit to the committee and taking all in all it was one of the very hap py evenly of the year. An excellent program was rendered.

Friday, July 8.The big rain last

have Old Jup shed his tears upon our

badly for the last time this summer,

Ford ranches to look over some timber,
and we also took long look at the
20 acres of sweet potatoes that Schar-
rer is tending. They are looking fine
and Leonard was cultivating them as
an assistance to stimulate growth and
help the fellows to keep the weeds
down. Teachers meeting was held as
usual this evening and later we all
went to the choral practice at the ho-
tel. Comrade Winter has taken over
al the singing and near-singing clubs
and is now expecting to boil us over
and create some new and valuable
song birds. Well, if he doesn't, it's
not his fault; he IS a good teacher and
likes the Job and with the good talent

Well, just come and see. Every
youngster who has been with us one
year swims like a duck and you would
enjoy watching them play water tag
or follow the leader" or wrestle each
other off the spring board. Boys and
girls all play together; no one gets
mad or grouchy; they just have a real
good time of it and these good times
will develop them into co-operators
who will refuse to take advantage of
each other in their future dealings.

the outdoor style of dancing. Sew
eral visitors were present and were
much pleased to see our new dances

pressed in the fact that our small chill
dren are so excellent performers on the
dance floor. Myrtle Kemp serves ice
cream. candy, peanuts, and cold drinks
at a stand each evening and is we'll

THE LAGGARDNESS
OF SCHOOL REFORM

1t is astonishing how Pedagogy
sticks to its old ways of doing things
while giving lip-service to ideas and
principles completely at variance with
the practice. Some of the most rigid
traditionaIists in the field of education
are administrators or normal-school
teachers who cannot praise too highly
the works Of John Dewey The
schools of America have lately been
celebrating the birthday of Johann
Emos Comenius. Four centuries ago,
Comenius was giving utterance to
truths which to us still seem strangely
new. Such as:
ITO instruct the young is not to beat
into them by repetition a mass of
word, phrases. sentences. and opinions
gathered out Of authors; but it is to
open their understanding through
things
I'VE must offer to the young, not
the shadows of things, but the things
themselves, which impress the senses
and the Imagination. Instruction must
commence with a real observation Of
things and not with a verbal descrip-
ton of them"
Of course, there are numerous way;
in which our present methods of edu-
cation are wrong. Their improvement
cannot be left wholly to the profession
al educator. What says Comenius ?
For though man may be naturally
unsuited to be a schoolmaster, or may
be fully engaged by his duties as a

cent taken by those who supplied the
materials, and the l22 per cent taken
by the manufacturer as his profit.
That is the census story Of what was
happening in 1919. Doubtless when
we have the records for 1920. a sim
liar situation will be disclosed. Dur
ing the war and after the American
worker gave the best that was in him,
and gave it cheerfully, in spite Of and
not because of the heartless abuse to
which he was subjected.
Eventually the public will realize
the shameful wrong that was done a
great body of useful citizens. when
greedy profiteers were shouting Stop
theft" to cover their own dubious
proceedings.

WORKERS WRONGLY ACCUSED

Here is what the American worker
was doing in 1919 while he was being
abused and slandered by his enemies:
He created manufactures valued at
$62,500,000.00O, two and half times
more than he produced in 1914, be-
fore the war.
He took as his share of this enor-
nous wealth less than $l0.000,000.-
600, about IS per cent Of the value
he created.
He was not a Stacker, and he was
not a profiteer.
His increased wage of 100 per cent
compares favorably with the 200 per
