VASHON P. T. A. TO OR.
GANIZE NUTRITION CLASS
Mrs. ". R. Nichols to Lead in the Building Up
Of the Little Folks Bodies

For many years the govern
ment has been sending out ex.
perts to diagnose the diseases OF
pigs, cows, horses, etc. But the
greatest asset of community
It's children have been neglected.
The military draft in the late war
awakened us to the fact that a
large percentage of our young
men are physically unfit; and in
many cases this mfitness was
due to defects that might easily
have been rectified in childhood.
Presumably the percentage OF un-
fitness among young women
would be as great were they sub,
iected to similar physical ex.
animation.
AS a result of the revelations
Of the draft, the physical well
fare of the boys~and girls Of to-
day has become not only the
business of the parents but of
the state and nation. Represent
ing the State College at Pullman,
Miss Mary Sutherland, nutrition
expert, who spoke at the Pres
byterian church, February 18th.
said, "Thcre can be no finer
piece of community work than
producing healthy, hearty, happy
children. l." One of the greatest
menaces we have to face is mai
nutrition which results in under
weight children. The child who
is under weight is more suscep.
tible to disease and in epidemlcs
is usually the first to succumb.
In the first four grades Of the
Vashon school fifty-four per cent
of the children are under weight.
A nutrition class is to be organ
lied under the supervision OF
Miss Edna Walker, and with Mrs.
w. r. Nichols as leader. Under
weight children and their moth
ers will be enrolled and no child
can he accepted whose mother
does not enroll and attend with
the child. The aim of the class
is to bring these children up to
weight. A certificate from the
state college will be awarded
children who bring up their
weight to normal and hold it for
at least one month.
All mothers who are interested
in the physical welfare of their
children if they are under weight
are invited to meet Mrs. Nichols
at the Vashon school house on
Friday afternoon, March Bird, at
2:30 O'Clock.

.nENBY SAYS NAVY
ARDS MUST CLOSE

Washington, D. c. Conversion of
navy yards into Industrial plants for
the purpose of obtaining contracts
from other government departments
could be accomplished only at the eX-
pense of privately owned factories and,
therefore, would not be of value to
the unemployed, Secretary DENLY de-
clared in letter answering sugges-
lions laid before him recently by SAM
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, as head of
a delegation representing "furloughed"
navy yard employees.
Several thousand of these employees
were given leave without pay as a
consequence Of the naval agreements
reached at the Washington arms con.
ference.
Secretary DENLY said he doubted
very much the wisdom Of artificially
keeping up navy yards, some of
which must inevitably be closed, at
the expense of private yards, thereby
perhaps causing the destruction of
the latter" When the navy yards are
not required to maintain the fleet, he
sa d, they should be abandoned or
leased to private concerns who may
find employment for them"

WAS LINCOLN AN INFIDELi

DR.. William Il. Barton is at
work on life of Abraham Lin

some Of the points in his life.

Lincoln told Ninian Edwards
this: 81 have read DR.. James

Here is another: Lincoln had
a pew in the First Presbyterian
church OF Springfield, Illinois,
and paid $4,000 a year rent for
lit.
Frances Willard was one OF
Lincolns sincere friends to whom
he could look for advice. Once
Lincoln told her there was no
subject on which he thought more
seriously than to ascertain il he
was really a Christian and ac-
cepted of God as such. "Yol

is one and | wish you would

briefly told what constitutes a

fession of his faith, and she said
"Mr. Lincoln | believe you are
a true christian"

REV. FRETZ DISCUSSES
SCHOOL MATTERS

Last week when you announc-
ed the school election for your
district you urged loyal citizens
to show interest in this very i'm
portant public enterprise. No
doubt our public schools suffer
because Of lack of intelligent IN
terest on the part of patrons.
There is another matter which
many thoughtful educators have
considered very important: Our
teaching force is lacking in the
masculine element. Think of it,
IA boy must Of necessity be with
his mother more than the work
ing father up to six years of age.
He starts to school. Eight grades
probably in the same building
and never sees a man teacher
until he is fourteen years Of age,
when he may or may not enter
High school. How many prob
lens peculiar to boys can never
be solved, because the school in
iuence is entirely feminine.
The writer is thoroughly con
WINGED that the woman teacher
has been a remarkable factor in
our great educational system, but
he is alss convinced that girls
md boys alike would personally
profit by the influence Of a man
at the head of our grade schools.
During the war men were called
to the harsher tasks to assure
us Of victory, and frequently
women have been employed be-
cause they could be obtained
more cheaply than men. The
war has been won, and women
also have won a place. OF equal
ity with men 50 that finance"
should no longer be part of
the issue; but if this latter
should obtain, then the tax pay
ers, patrons of our schools, and
school boards should strive to
meet this emergency, and supply
this need in our grade schools.
Respectfully yours,

A BIT OF LEAvEN

By N. P. j.

Planting Time
Get busy! Make the most of life
Seek your reward in deedsl
Don't waste your time and energy
In propagating weeds!
Look out upon the countless fields
That spread before your view,
And choose the one that promises
The richest crops for you,
Then do your bestl But if your
choice
Be wrong your course is plain
Don't weep and pine, but choose
anew,
And plant and reap again
Success is yoursl It's just be-

The thistles you will find.
They're only blessings in disguise
To test your heart and mind
