modations somewhat in Of the actual require

Others But in years there has been very little
school building anywhere and in Pueblo, in other
cities the increasing school population has finally
exceeded the available buildings.
The situation is the serious here because there
is eery reason to believe that In the years
tho population of the city will increase much more
World Pueblo not only needs to provide for the
present but for the future and it is certain that good
schools of the most important attractions in
bringing to any city and desirable population
It is also plain that carefully considered plan of
school extension far superior to the haphazard method
of building to meet emergencies Is they arise. The
school boards of both districts have acted wisely in
preparing TO the need of school buildings with
an eye the future well the present Such plans
will meet with general approval.
1t is not time when the taxpayers of Pueblo can

certain things that be done. Good schools not

WAYS OF PLEASANTNESS:
PATHS OF PEACE
Frederick A. Hatch

The Wise man of the Hebrews in his book
of Proverbs had much to say about Wisdom. And
Wisdom is God fulfilling Himself in a world OF
moral constitution. Centuries roll by and Paul
declares that Christ Jesus has been made to us the
Wisdom of God, and it is He who has said that
''My yoke is easy and my burden is light
1t is of great practical Importance for us to
get this truth deep into our lives that God has
thoughts of JOY and pleasantncss for those whom
He has created and redeemed by this same Jesus
other direction We permanently expect such
experiences.
The error of the great majority Of those
brought up in touch with the Christian faith Is
that it is essentially sombre, unhappy and JOY
less The world today is suffering for want OF no.
tfcation by sincere and honest lives, that to be
a Christian is to be really Joyous. When He said,
eve are the light of the world surely it was not of
the worriers, nor those in fear that they would
not be sufficiently recognized by the world about
them nor by such as lose the real joy in having
what they think is n good time, but of those to
whom this same Jesus is so real that every day
they realize increasingly that His are the ways OF
peace Show fact more practical than thatf
The hollow laughter of those who put on a
front of satisfaction while the inner fear trials
them every hour that they Will be detected IN their
shallow living and their theft of Gods blessings
for which they never, never thank Him, IS typical
and natural of any of us who refuse to HIS WIS
dom the centre of our lives. And the ground reason
whv we will not give up life to Him, is that We
believe the devils lie that only by gratifying the
senses can we be happy and free.

Of the nation in coming years will be affected in large
degree by the policy that adopted by the nation as

In the first place it should be clearly understood
that the American worker is entitled to- and should
receive higher wage than is paid in most other coun-
tre. of the world. This i, matter both of economic
right and Of public policy, but it is not matter OF
charity and it is not matter of of the finely spun
eociasic theories with which radicals and demasogues
arc accustomed deude themselves and their followers
The only basis of just pay for all workers is pro-
duction and it fact beyond question that the Amer
lean worker s the efficient worker in the world
There arc several reasons for this Some of them
part of the national heritage and carry particular
credit to any individual Others distinctly crednble
to American workres as individuals and a class.
The United States has the hes. natural endowment
Of any nation of the world. In soil, in climate in
natural resources of mine and field and forest and in
the variety of that make this nation prac

of the United States. And in a real and reasonable
this natural advantage the inheritance of the
American people whole. the birthright of every
American child The American worker has right TO
higher wages the workers of other nations because
he is an American, this nation is economically
moro fortunate than other nations, and because wages,
speaking generally, the currency of comfort and
material well being.
The American worker is, moreover, the most intel
lirent worker in the world He has greater of
initiative and of sef-control. His mind is more alert
He uses ns more and while that is not conducive
to efficiency in particular kinds of work it is
tremendous advantage to American industry as whole
