In The CRY SCHOOLS

The fifth grade Of the Benton school
has found new way in which to conduct
examinations. The students will have a
geography match tomorrow and later in
the day language match. This method
was suggested by the children, and not
by their teacher, Mrs. Matte White. She
found that the matches, with the boys ar
rayed against the girls, accomplishes a
great deal more than the written tests to
which they are accustomed.
Each day the pupils are allowd to ask
any child thy select. five questions on
their lesson on South America. Then
Friday. Mrs. White will select questions
from those which they have asked and
others she may add, and gives the two op.
posing sides, questions. Those who ans
wer all the questions given them receive a
star beside their name on the honor roll.
In language. the children have re-
sponded more keenly to their work by
playing games. which contain a drill that
is the days lesson.
They are learning to differeniiate and
to use correctly words which have simi-
lar meanings and 10 use verbs which
classes usually have trouble remembering.

power Of money, or the good il can do.

DAWN OF PROSPERITY.

The sun is rising out Of a night OF H.
nancial depression and its rays are break
ing through the haze Of high prices. high
taxes and unemployment. A rosy hue
spreads across the sky Of business which
bids fair weather for the prosperity Of
this country.
Such eminent observers as President
Harding, Secretary Hoover. Secretary
Mellon and president Of the Federal Re.
serve Board see the dawn Of this brighter
day. Their hopeful outlook is confirmed
BY bankers, farm papers. the business
and financial columns Of the daily press
end country papers.
Prices Of agricultural products have
risen steadily during the last two months,
a rise of 7 cents in wheat prices in one
day being quoted on the minneapolis
wheat exchange. This has started a gen.
cral revival of business throughout the
northwest. Corn prices have reached so
cents which had meant a saving Of forty
million dollars TO the farmers Of Iowa,
alone.
Henry Ford and the International Har.
,es,er Co., have begun a price war on
tractors. Other farm implements also are
lower. Food stuffs, dress goods, auiomo.
biles. and shoes have been reduced in
price.
The stock market in New York has
been on the steady increase since the
first Of last September. In that time
stocks have risen Is per cent. Railroad
stocks show a slight increase.
Foreign exchange has been rising dur.
ing the last few months. This indicates
that European countries are regaining
their feet. and will be q better market
for American surplus goods. Manufac.
turers are putting more men to work and
increasing their products to meet an in.
creased demand. The farmer. too, is deep.
ly interested in this rise in foreign cx.
change for il means better markets and
higher prices for his products.
The conservative journals Of the coun-
try say there are no boom times ahead,
but predict a gradual return to normalcy.

THE AMERICAN WORLD.

To Americans the world is one confer
cnce after another. The world is much the
same in 1921 as in 1914. Perhaps the
high prices irriiatc us once in while.
but the reflection is largely casual. Un-
employment is term occasionally seen
in periodicals, but ii usually does not al
feet us in any direct manner. Business
depressions and farmers crisis are per-
sonal, but still majority Of business
establishments are fairly prosperous and
slmos, all the farmers have enough to in
sure a comfortable living. To an aver.
age American. therefore, this is a world
Of abundance, of peace, Of pleasure and
of great expectations.
Casually we hear of suffcrings in vi
cnna and Warsaw, Of riots in Dublin and
Belfast, Of famine in China. of unrest in
India-but they soon drift out of our
memory, giving way TO more enjoyable
and more entertaining recollections. We
read Of the daily tragedy Of the world as
We might witness a melodrama behind
N. 81
row and then-with the attitude of a by.
siander. Of a spectator at theatrical per-
formance.
This care{ree and optimistic attitude
Of the American people. dcreloped as i:
was, is desirable in one way. 1t is this
optimism that leaves inspiration for some
thing better. The world is in progress.
4 Uptopia is not an impossibility. Op-
iimism gives hope for the future. and it
strengthens our faith in mankind.
But too much optimism prevents US
from getting true view of world condi.
tions. Always under the cloud Of dis
guise and Misrepresentation. we fail to
Understand other peoples. We build
castles in the air, and populate them with
our imaginative heroes and heroines,
while no such people ever have existed.
Casting aside all vain dreams, but re-
tanning our faith and hopefulness. we can
see the world much better. with all its
ugliness and beauty, truly represented
and rightfully interpreted.

make travelling luxurious, give leisure
time for lcarnig, increase chances to see
beautiful things, to study art and to hear
concerts. But while money provides the
means for the attainment Of these things
il cannot give the character or the adap-
liability to take advantage OF them and
truly enjoy them. A fortune can give you
ease and pleasure but not refinement and
happiness.
Money may talk, but the language it
speaks is cheap, language which will
never be accepted by any but the poor in
mind who cannot appreciate the really
worth while things.
