JUST BOYS

Have you ever noticed the tenden-
cy OF people to disregard the worth
and Importance Of boys? We are
all too prone to look upon a bunch
Of boys as being Just a lot OF little
devils that are to be Stunned and
dreaded, and whose rights are to be
disregarded. The harmful negligence
Is becoming more noticeable as we
study the needs and surroundings OF
The boys and see the manner IN
which they are neglected and their
worth underestimated.
We attended an all.day young
peoples convention, not long since
and only very small allotment Of
the fine WAS accorded the boys in
the Program.
It is q burning shame on the
grovn-ups that the boys are being
| neglected when they are OF that age
when they need training the most.
We all ought TO feel pride in the
boys at this time for in our estimate
Of Athem they are, as q rule, q very
m bly, and intelligent bunch and are
resdy and willing to respond to the
piper help and training.
| Boys are like older folks, they like
I'd be noticed and are very sensitive
I'd the indifference that is often
shown them. Men Of mature years
san not do better than to help and
encourage the boys for sometimes a
livery little means u whole lot to the
boy. Just Il kind word, a friendly
recognition as we meet them on the
streets or in other places reaches a
responsive alcove in his heart.
Remember, men are just grown
up boys and boys are hut men in the
making. Then. here's to the boys,
all Of them, and may they never
grow old and careless to those who
follow III their wake.

IN THE FAR EAST

The Turks know nothing of the
Turkish bath.
Some tribes in the Sahara desert
have slave farms.
The Mohammedan always faces
Mecca when he prays.
The Turks adopted the crescent as
national emblem about 1853.
Neither Hindus nor Japanese will
ever willingly sleep with their heads
to the north.
For centuries in China woman has
had the choice of keeping her maiden
name after marriage.
The poorest Arab woman paints her
eyes with kohl to make them appear
larger and more brilliant.
The Turks were the first people to
bury their dead in cemeteries and
make use of ornamental headstones.
Natives of the Punjab still spear
their fish in small streams with tri-
dent not unlike that depicted on Eng
liSh coins.
Fhe Chinese, it is estimated, eat
100000 dogs annually. The dogs are
OF special breed, raised wholly for
food purposes.

GOOD SCHOOLS A FUNDA-
MENTAL NEED

II is most pleasing to sec the
tendency for better schools. To
our mind nothing ever happened
for community that woald tend to
make it better than does the build
ing OF consolidated schools in the
rural districts, where the pupils
gain the advantages that once were
only accorded the children of the
larger cities.
If one has children, it goes with
out saying that there is nothing
more important for them than being
in proximity to a thoroughly Elf
cient school. Your child has only
one life to live. What a tragedy if
he should go through life with only
his physical nature developed and
his more God like mind and soul
neglected
Equally important to a commune
| ty as a whole, is Il good school.
People Judge a neighborhood by the
character OF school it supports.
Moreover, the presence OF good
school gives the citizens greater
pride and confidence in themselves.
Taxes for the maintenance of good
school constitute, not an eXpendi-
ture, but an Investment. How
often does one find, in special tax
districts, some farm whose owner
owner violently opposed the extra
school tax, yet whose land doubled
in value because Of the better school
the tax brought! There is hardly a
community III the South, where the
school is poor, that has not lost
some good citizens for this reason.
Similarly, there is hardly n com
munity with a good school in which
that school has not attracted good
citizens to the neighborhood.
70 farmers, as class, good
schools are paramount. Farmers
have hot heretofore had square
deal from the government, and the
only way they can properly remedy
this condition is by education. An
ignorant people can rise mp in anger
and bring about revolution; yet,
while an ignorant people can des-
troy, they cannot rebuild. Russia
today seems to be a living witness
of this fact An ignorant people
has destroyed an old government
but is not able to set up new
system which will insure peace and
prosperity. A seeing Samson could
destroy his enemies and save HIM
self, but blind Samson could only
pull down the temple on himself
and his enemies in one general ruin.
So it is when a people is blind
