Editor Tho star:

A, a recon, meeting OF the Seattle
school board n letter was read ask
ing that certain parties be sent "a
the National Association OF Women

II has been the practice Of the school
board to pay the expenses Of certain
favored individuals lemployes OF
teachsrSl TO these conventions.
A taxpayer present objected 20 this
expense and Il was Eenlaliy explained
that all business houses pay the es
penSes Of delegates TO conventions.
etc. and that II representative
from Seattle was 80 favored as 10 be
put on the program. the school board
ought 10 be willing 10 stand the ex
penae.
All very plausible. bu, the school
board Of Seattle In not a business or
gnnizstion seeking to expand and
attract busineas--its business is q
keep down expenses. and the benefit
derived from attending the convsn
ton is solely to tho individyal at
tending. With the salaries paid
teachers and any other employees
who are likely TO be sent. consider
ing that they get that salary for ths
two vacation months when they are
not doing anything In the way Of
work. II would seem that they could
afford to pay their own expenses
AZ for the party on the program
that individual will receive very
direct benefit in tho way Of better
position from the advertising given
SO why should Seattle be called on "a
pay7
The employe who will most likely
be sent receives "A salary OF $500 a
year or t425 "A month. and II he must
also be given the big bonus OF his
expenses back East in addition "a
that salary. how do tho rest OF us
1--we?
It's all very well for the Chamber
OF Commerce to pay the expenses OF
delegates to the convention as per
their resolution. that's business--bui
the school board has no reason 10
do this. and II Is doubtful n they
have the authority, and also II would
be interesting to know how many
other school boards are so easy.

FAITH BACK or HOPE.

Z; Hope is one of the secrets of sue
acessful work. If once a man gets into
his head the idea that what he does
is not going to amount to anything, no
matter how doggedly he sticks to his
task, his effort will meet with failure.
Unless we take a hopeful view, our
powers will not be at their best. We
must have the stimulus of CHEEKY con-
sffdenee. to do. justice to ourselves.
And since God is at the head of this
world, and right and truth are bound
Ito conquer. there is no reason why we
should find it hard to be both con-
fident and joyful. Hope is back of sue
cessful effort, but back of hope is faith
in God. -

OWN. UP.


1t is one thing to acknowledge that
you make, mistakes and quite another
to. own up to being a: failure. The
people who can never see that they
might, have done better. are almost
hopeless cases as far as Improvement
goes. And so, without any question:
is the one who loses his grip in dis
enlargement. It makes little prac-
tical difference whether one takes the
ground that he cannot make a mis-
take, or that he cannot do anything
else, since either attitude is naralyz-
ing to progress. Own. UP to making
mistakes, but don't admit that you
yourself are. a mistake. Look on your
failures as episodes. Take it for
granted that you will redeem them
and win in the end.

This IS how it came to get its name:
; In 1915, over 800 years ago, the
iFriars were. found again in Dublin,
but, banished' away in a little house
In Cook street, at the; rear of an old
tavern known as :.Adam and Eve"
tavern, for safety from the blood
THIRSTY Protestants. The name adam
and Eve by which the church IS
called, came down from those days.
= The only entrance to the Francis

door of the tavern, along dark, mar.
row: pa ssage. 49,, - .<,. 49,.
Watchers were stationed at the door
Of the tavern, and they asked every.

old tavern stood outside till 1882.
