POOLING HERSELF

Whom do you fool, little girl, little
girl,
With your cheeks false blush and
your hairs false curl?
Whom do you fool with your pen
ciled brows
And your neckless-almost waistless
blouse?
Do you think you have fooled the
modern youth?
He, too, is blase, and he knows the
truth,
Whom do you lure with your vamp~
ish glance?
Is it age you fool? Why there's not
a chance!
Don't you know that the rouge on
your face and lips
Is as plain as the point in min
strel's quips?
Has it never occurred to your foolish
brain
That your puff and lip-stick work is
vain?
Have you never known that You be-
meath
Shines plain as day from your chemic
sheath?
There is one that you fool, little girl,
little girl;
There is one whose head you have set
aWhirl.
There IS one, just one, in the world
not wise
To the work you do with your shape
and eyes.
There is one, just one, who doesn't
know
You attract the least when the most
you show.
The rest of US know you through and
through
The only one that is fooled is You.

Companies have also of late years
begun to issue what is known as
group insurance whereby large bodies
of men, such as the employees of a
single company, can all De insured at
the same time and either for the same
or varying amounts according 10 the
length of service or the amount of
salary. These men are all accepted.
no matter what their age and no mat
ter what their condition, as the risk is
looked at as Whole and it has become
pretty we'll established that any
working force in reasonably healthy
conditions will give about the same
rate of mortality that a picked line
Of personal applicants will show.
Behind the Promise.
What now. is behind all these prom
ises. First, a body of men trained
in the business, interested and anxious
to serve; next, gradually accumulat-
ed reserve liability, scientifically cal
culated on the basis of the mortality
table and compound interest; and
third, the gradual expansion of eighty
years and all of the lessons learned
by the way. No sort of business he's
shown so great safety as life insur-
ance. Many companies have gone out
Of existence, either through amalga-
nation or reinsurance in their early
years, but few have gone out of exis-
tence after successful career Of
twenty-five years. The influenza cpl
demlc, a more severe test of their
strength than any that has heretofore
occurred left them with diminished
surplus but with increased regard
from the public both as to their use
fulness and strength. They are
safeguard to the state in that they
encourage saving and distribute prop
erty when and as most needed. A
man with a life insurance policy is
very rarely a destructive agency. By
owning one he becomes a partner in
great enterprises. He must not des-
troy these enterprises. A we'll insured
is safe morally, politically,
economically and financially.

It's system of parish schools for this
sole purpose. 1t gives full courses in
all secular branches and strives to
make of its children good and useful
citizens. Old buildings are being re-
placed by new, modern and well
equipped schools. At it's normal
schools, which are accredited by the
respective states, the Missouri Synod
by six years course prepares its
teachers, male and female for the
work in Its church schools At the
present time 1895 children are be,
ing instructed in ,274 schools It is ar
interesting fact that 1900 male teach
ers are engaged on the teaching force
Of these schools.
Old Seminary Too Small
It may sound queer that a church
body graduating upward of $50 theo-
logical students into the ministry ev-
cry year nevertheless is experiencing
a pronounced shortage Of workers, but
that is the case with the Missouri
Synod. This shortage has continued
for many years and determined eff
forts are being made to solve this
problem AS result the number of
students sent to the Theological Sem
mary in st. Louis from the eleven
preparatory schools has become so
great as to necessitate larger build
ings. For the scholastic year 1921
1922 close to $50 students were en-
tered at this one seminary, besides
$50 at the seminary in Springfield, I'll.
Accordingly a new million dollar SEM
mary is to be erected in st. Louis. A
tract Of seventy-One acres opposite
Forest Park has been purchased, and
the new buildings are expected to be
ready for occupancy by the fall OF
1924. Last autumn the enrolment OF
the new students at the preparatory
schools was so heavy that one insti-
tuition had to turn students away and
others are OyercrOWded.
New Appropriations Necessary
In October Of last year a new pre-
paratory school was opened in EdmOn-
ton, Alberta, Canada and whereas no
new colleges are to be founded the
delegates to the tri-ennial convention
of the Missouri Synod in 1923 will be
forced to grapple with the problem
Of enlarging the educational institu-
lions sufficiently to harbor all the boys
and girls seeking to avail themselves
Of acquiring an education under Chris
tian influences or Of preparing them
selves for the preaching and teaching
professions In 1920 appropriations
were made to enlarge the preparatory
school and theological seminary in
Porto Allegro, Brazil, and the Luther
ans Of South America are now eX-
pected to supply their own needs with
out drawing on the number of candi-
dates available for the ministry in
this country.
The present officials Of the Missouri
Synod are The Rev. F. Pfotenhauer, d.
D., of Chicago, president; the Rev. F.
Brand of St Louis, first vice president ;
the Rev. J. w. Miller of Fort Wayne,
second vice president; the Rev. G. A.
Bernthal of San Francisco. third vice
president: the Rev. III. 2. Eckhart OF
Pittsburgh. fourth vice president; the
Rev. NJ. F. Kretzmann Of Kendall
Vile, Ind, secretary; Mr.. E. Seue1 Of
st. Louis. treasurer. These, together
with the Rev. William Hagen, Messrs.
Beniamine Bosse, Henry ". Horst and
Fred Pritzlaff, constitute Synod's
Board of Directors.

Parish School System

The problem of giving to children
weekday religious instruction, which
many non-Lutheran bodies are trying
to solve today, has long been solved
in the Missouri Synod by its extensive
weekday parish school system. While
the members of this body believe that
the state must establish and maintain
the public school, they believe that
the children of the church ought to
be given what the public school can
not offer them, namely, daily religious
training in the school. At great ex-
panse the Missouri Synod maintains

| Life insurance in this country
started commercially about eighty
years ago. From nothing, in eighty
years it has grown to an insurance in
force Of fifty billion dollars and the
reserve liabilities of the companies
with the surplus held for contingent
cies amounts to over seven billion
dollars.
The question arises why has it
taken eighty years for the public to
come in the realization of it's value
and necessity. The idea was just as
good eighty years ago as it. is now.
The performance was decidedly in
ferior. Starting with little insurance
knowledge and a natural fear Of the
unknown, policies were hedged about
with restrictions both as to residence,
travel and occupation and as to the
privileges of surrender if payment
ceased which while considered neces-
sary at the time and only abolished
by gradual changes, certainly must
have interfered with its early popu-
larity.
Besides this gradual improvement in
the conditions surrounding any and
all policies, refnements have come in
the plans of policies so that, whereas
eighty years ago you were expected to
buy certain kind of policy whether
it fitted your particular situation or
not, now the policies have been fitted
to all conceivable situations, and the
agents, from being a class of men
who learned one story and told it
again and again, have come to be a
highly specialized line of experts
whose business it is to sell each man
the policy which seems to be most
fitted to his wants as they and he see
