"Gather around me. friends ana

No sooner had he said this than all
tho sparrows around began to ask eacn
n,bar what the word address meant.
same OF them pretended they kne"
and vet when they were asked they
couldn't tell. OF course what they
.aid was that they wouldn't tell.
AN address," yelled General spar
row. in louder and crosser tone than
any OF them had used-and they all
had been pretty cross-"means
sneech or talk. And I'm giving
talk to you today"
There was another interruption
when the other sparrows all shouted
and argued and scolded about know
Ing how TO talk. themselves, perfectly
we'll But General Sparrow was de-
clded.

and because they were rather curious
TO know what he was going to say
they listened.
They aIl perched about him and he
looked this way and that and shrieked
and chlrped in a very noisy voice.
Come everyone, come TO the lee
ture which IS to be given by General

/ n most noble address. That Is. II may
not be noble but ii Will be very fine
and It will be by your General.

So more came and gathered about
him.
Il have become a general" he said.

they must not try to take my place.

81 have been much pleased TO have
these quarrels. for not only have

Of quarrelllng. All the sparrows know
what JOY that is

eChlrp, chlrp, what he says is so true. -
Another time they might have
fought with him about what he said
but he was praising up the whole
family OF sparrows when he spoke
about quarrelllng and they liked to
hear that
II have grabbed bread which was
thrown to another bird and l have

to school that long-and if you yield
to his urging now you will have to
bear his disappointment later when
he finds out that it was a great mis-
take.
The education which the public
school now gives is better adapted to
the needs of children than the courses
which were taught generation ago.
Today the child learns how to make
himself useful and how to do this in
an i2teIligent way.
Every child should begin his educa-
tion in the kindergarten, for in it the
seeds of good citizenship are sown.
1t is in the kindergarten that honesty,
loyalty and consideration for the rights
of others are instilled during the
childs most impressionable years.
Patriotic songs and stories of our
great heroes implant deep love of
country; marching and games develop
self-control. team work and adaptable
ity; hand work and modelling promote
efficiency and appreciation of labor.
Surely the foundations. Of the skilled
artisan and the loyal citizen of the fu-
ture can be laid in no better place
than in well-equipped kindergarten!
People Pay for Kindergartens.
After starting in the right way, the
longer the child stays IN school, the
more useful he will become and the
better able to take upon himself the
responsibilities of life The school of
today aims to make intelligent, eff
cient citizens, but 1t viii not succeed
IL the child is taken out and put to
work at the earliest possible moment.
The people pay for the Kindergarten,
elementary grammar and high schools
so that their children may have the
benefit of them. You are one of the
people and you help to support these
schools. They are your schools, built
and kept up for the sake of your chill
dren as wei as for all other children.
Use them, then. Keep your child In
school. Let him begin in the kinder
garten and graduate from the high
school.

CONSPICUOUS AND
DECIDED EFFECT
OF KINDERGARTENS

DIR. Carroll D. Wright, for
merly commissioner of, labor
for the United States, empha-
sizes the Importance of the
kindergarten in the following
significant statement:
1.-The conspicuous and decided
effect of kindergartens In pre-
venting the inception of Grim
inal tendencies in children ex-
posed by their homes, or neglect.
to such tendencies, proves most
conclusively that the kindergar-
ten effects an immense pecuniary
saving to the community, not
only In diminishing expenditures
otherwise necessary for police
and protective measures, but in
rendering what would otherwise
be criminal population, part
of a useful, law-abiding, self
supporting membership of the
state"
This country is spending ST.
100000 a day on its criminal
classes.

ers under the bookshelves-th drawer,
Alan recalled, which he himself had
been examining when he had found
WassaQuam watching him. He drew
out the drawer and dumped its con-
tents out upon the floor; he turned
the drawer about then. and pulled the
bottom out of it. Beneath the bottom
which he had removed appeared now
another bottom and Il few sheets of
paper scrawled in an uneven hand and
with different colored inks.
At sight of them, Spearman, who
had followed them into the room, ut
tered an oath and sprang forward. The
Indians small dark hand grasped
Spearman's wrist, and his face
twitched itself into fierce grin
which showed how little civilization
had modified in him the aboriginal
passions. But Spearman did not try
to force his way; instead, he drew
back suddenly.
Alan stopped and picked up the pa
pers and put them in his pocket. If
the Indian had not been there, 1t
would not have been SO easy for him
to do that, he though.

moved about again. How strange a
picture of his father did these things
call up to him! When he had thought
of Benjamin Corvet before, it had been
as Sheriff. had described him, pur-
sued by some thought he could not
conquer, seeking relief in study, in cor
respondence with scientific societies,
in anything which could engross him
and shut out memory. But now he
must think of him, not merely as one
trying to forget; what had thwarted
Corvet's life was not only In the past
it was something still going on. 1t had
amazed Sheriff. to learn that Corvet.
for twenty years, had kept trace of
Alan; but Corvet had kept trace in the
same way and with the same secrecy
of many other people-of about a
score of people. When Alan thought
Of Corvet, alone In his silent house,
he must think of him as solicitous
about these people; as seeking for
their names in the newspapers which
he took for that purpose, and as re-
cording the changes in their lives. The
deaths. the births, the marriages
among these people had been of the
intensest interest to Corvet.
1t was possible that none of these
people knew about Cofvet; Alan had
not known about him in Kansas, but
had known only that some unknown
person had sent money for his support.
But he appreciated that 1t did not
matter whether they knew about him
or not; for at some point common to
all Of them, the lives of these people
must have touched Coryet's life. When
Alan knew what had been that point
of contact. he would know about Cor
vet; he would know about himself.
Alan had seen among Corvet's
books set of charts Of the Great
Lakes. He went and got that now and
an atlas. Opening them upon the ta-

ty-fiye years of age. Those who had
remained in school until they were
eighteen had earned nearly so per
cent more than those who had left
school at fourteen and had been work
Ing four years longer.
Such statement of facts will con-
vince intelligent parents that they
should keep their children in school
and not yield to the temptation of
permitting them to go to work because
the family's expenses are high and
children are paid better wages than
formerly.
Men and women are always CRATE
full for the sacrifices which their par
ents made in order to give them eiu-
cation. They know that in the strug-
gle to make living, the educated
man or woman has a great advantage
over the ignorant and can reach high
er places and receive better pay. To.
day the competition among those who
work, whether they work with hand
or BRAIN or both, was never so keen,
and the ones who are best equipped
are the winners. An education is one
of the chief items in the necessary
equipment.
All States Have School Laws.
Your state law tells you that you
must send your child to school until
he is of certain age and then he may
leave and go to work-if you let him.
And he may want to do so and beg
you to let him take that job in the
factory where his friend Joe works.
But you are older and know better
than he does what is for his best in
terest. You know that if you let him
leave school as soon as the law allows,
you are giving him no better chance
in this world than all children get
for the law requires them all to go

Human Lie Too Short.

By all the rules which nature OBJ.
serves among humber mammals, 100
years ought to be very ordinary age
for a human being. Where is the
mammal which, unless its life is cut
short by accident or disease. fails to
live to an age five times as great as
the time it took to reach maturity? A
fairly careful survey Of the field an
swers nowhere" Indeed, the ratio
of total life to maturity is more likely
to be six, seven or eight, than FIVE.
But man, whose maturity cannot be
placed at less than 20 or %, thinks he
is doing well when he passes three
score and ten, and only one out of
many thousands reaches the age of
one hundred.
