Most people who contemplate building
have a good idea of what they want in
side the house, but when it comes to
hitting an exterior to their plans. the
homemade result too frequently is pain-
ful. The good architect could take those
same ideas and mold them into a form
calculated to please both those who are

BUSINESS MEN AND SCHOOLS.

An educator speaking to a club of
business men suggested that they appoint
committees TO visit the public schools
regularly and make reports to the club.
Much of the blame for children's
wrong-doing now placed upon the schools
would be placed upon the homes if the
truth were known said the speaker.
Your committee could see what is be-
ing done and where the blame for lack
CT learning is TO be put. Certainly it is
up to us men to accept greater respon-
sl5ility in the education of our children. =
As a result, the committees were an
pointed. and at least one business mans
organization viii have a working knowI-
edge Of what the schools are irving to
accomplish, wherein they succeed and
why they fail at some points.
Such cooperation is good from every
point of view. It brings the fathers into
live contact with the education of the
children. 1t gives the children new
ground for effort and interest. and it
forms Il basis for helpful consultation
between school and business. This in
turn viii help the school authorities to
prepare the child more efficiently for his
entrance into the business world.

Quired the various definitions Of the
word "vamp." He almost failed to be
amused; he became so angry. And
this was the joyous Christmas season

A man told him "vamp" was a dan

A woman told him "vamp' was q

A young boy told him "vamp" was
a misunderstood, innocent lady with
sense enough to appreciate that "men"
Of seventeen were not children.
An oculist told him that ."vamp"

And a mother told him "vamp"
was dangerous creature from whom
every mother should keep a son as
from deadly poison.
They were making the Christmas
decorations for the church when the
minister came into the chapel and told
them all Of his engagement.
"The wedding is to be on Christmas
eve," he said.
Everyone stopped winding ground
pine and looked amazed. They NUT
tered congratulations, and then the
future wife appeared and worked with
them.
And then they all began to feel bet
ter. For while they had been gossip
ing and quarreling pettily as they had
worked, the future wife Of the minis
ter brought with her the spirit Of the
Christmas season. Perhaps she wasn't
a typical wife for a minister they con-
cluded, but she was an ideal wife for
minister.
For she lived and breathed good
will and cheer and her gaiety fresh
ened the very atmosphere Of the place
and gave them new incentive.
The minister called her his "vamp!"
His definition Of one was:
"A Merry Christmas in real Iifer"
