Miss Grace Calkins of Fairchild

dltlonal teacher in our school. Up to
the present time the school has been
running with one less teacher than
last year but it was found impossible

Gaikins secured her training in River
Falls Normal and in Chicago Uniyer-
slty. Her training and experience
makes her well qualified for the work.
Miss May Johnson, our teacher of
methods, ha sheen compelled by poor
health to give up her work and return
to her home in West Virginia. Miss
johnson was capable teacher of kind

CHRISTMAS HUMANE THOUGHT

A. 4. Frederick Safe Humane Officer
Luke. -
AS we approach the Christmas time
our thoughts naturally turn to the
story of the Christ child His humble
Dlrth is tale we still love to hear.
The fact that He was born in a man
ger does not lessen our reverence or
devotion today any more than it did
twenty centuries ago.
lt is not stretch of idle magma
tlon to deduee humane thought from
this humble birth of the Man of Cali
lee. 1t IS rather quite consistent with
i the spirit of that occasion.
Jesus OF Nazareth dignified His
earthly mission with the spirit of hui
mlllty In this He came unto the low
nest even including our dumb animal
friends. They, also, were to benefit
py his teachings of kindness and
mercy For they are creatures of God
ana We're so recognized by Him. They
We're Ills friends, like they are the
friends and servants of man today.
:, In Biblical narrative we have ample
illustration of the place the dumb an
maj holds in the eyes of its Creator.
hundreds Of animals, fish. and birds
are referred to by name. Many a
volume has been written on the ami
mails of the Bible They are consider
ed an important part of creation.
However, the cruel man has not vet
learned this fact. He has assumed
that his lOrdship over the lower crea-
lures gives him the right to deal with
them as he pleases. If he wishes to
treat them cruelty he does so; if he
has been guilty of neglect he has no
pangs or conscience.
No good man is cruel, and no great
man IS silent in the face of cruelty.
Neither has the Christmas civiliza-
ton advanced far nor the spirit of
Christmas been fully comprehended
where cruelty and neglect of animals
is still tolerated.
In the cold winter days ahead the
animal world viii look to US for suffi-
Gent feed and shelter. Let US then
observe the teachings of Him who was
born IN the manger. For, inasmuch
as we have done so unto the least of
MS creatures We have done so unto

PULLING THE sPANGLED LEG

VIII the campaign of foreign pro.
paganda never cease?
We are severely criticised because
we do not open our money bags and
pour their contents into the bankrupt
treasures of Europe.
We are importuned and whedled To
cancel the billions of war debts due
us from our late allies.
We are charged with deserving them
because we are not willing to embroil
ourselves in the tangled affairs of the
nations across the seas.
We are denounced as war profiteers
because we sold to the late victors in
the war the munitions and supplies
with which theyprosecuted that war
and they were sold upon the insistent
plea of those nations.
We are told that it is our duty to
come to the aid of civilization-but
with gold in our hands.
And now comes the Greek nation
with demand that we let down our
immigration bars and open our doors
to million and half of Greek re-
iugees from Constantinople and Asia
Minor.
God Forbid
| 1t is because of the presence of so
many foreign malcontents in this
country that we are in aconstant state
of internal turmoil, with the shadow
of bolshevistic revolution and plumber
always lowering as a menace in the
background.
| Admit million and half direct
from the hotbed of intrigue and fan
atheism?
| Neverl
Men and women of foreign birth
who have come to US in the past and
have proven themselves to be good
citizens are welcome, and we extend
to them the hand of fellowship and
good will.
But they constitute sufficiency.
If Greece needs aid in feeding her
own people who are forced by circum-
cumstances to return to their native
land, we win extend that aid in the
same manner that we have been doing
| it IN various countries in the past
through the Red Cross and other such
agencies.
No one can charge the United States
with being niggardly in feeding and
clothing the hungry and naked of for
eign lands. Even as this editorial is
being written, our food and our cloth
ing and our gold are being sent abroad
in great quantities for this very pur-
pose, and hundreds of thousands are
being saved from starvation.
This we are glad to do, because it
is an act of humanity.
But we are eternally opposed to the
wholesale admission of horde of re-
furees who have been reared amidst
blood. butchery and trickery. That
would be an act of insanity.
Let the Greek nation house its own
refugees, and If necessary we will aid
in feeding and clothing them until
they can become self sustaining.
But no morei
The volcano Of discomfort is becosn-
ing hot under our feet as it is.
We win not knowingly kick off the
lid.
