reduced-as it must-or we shall
be ruined. You are great deal
more intelligent and well-informed
than |, if you fell you know enough
about that question to be OF any
use in solving it.
Or our courts and laws. We Wo-
men, for the most part, have never
before known anything about them
at all, and our first glimpse under
the lid of what goes on in the name
of securing justice, raises the hair
on our heads with horror. Not only
is it apparent that there is actual
corruption, but there is what is al
most as bad, the most prodigious
confusion, clumSfness, delay, inetfI-
cheney, looseness and incoherence
of organization. AS we peer from
afar into this weller, we are all
thinking that if we tried to run our
private lives for a day, as the legal
world of the United States runs its
life, our homes would fall to pieces.
But who of US, totally ineXper-
fenced, utterly ignorant as we are,
would venture to make the slight
est suggestion for improving that
state of things, till we have had
time to learn more about it?
No matter which way we may
turn, it all comes back to this:
There is nothing we dare try to
do, now, to ameilorate intOleIable
conditions, till we have had time to
learn more. But we are women
forty years old, and older. Our
period of resilient activity does not
stretch out indefinitely before Us,
as it would if we We're TWENTY.
What we all desperately wish to
avoid, is sitting down comfortably
to study and learn, till it is too
late to do anything. What we all
know we ought to find is some
corner where we may now, today
and tomorrow and the next day
and the next, do our share, as well
as ponder on how to do more. The
need is so great there is 20 much
to be done! BY the time we are six
ty, and possessed Of good civic
education, think how many oppor-
tunities for helping will have been
lost, never to return.
Well, there is such an opportun-
ity where we can be OF absolute,
certain help, now today and TO-
morrow. This nrecjous opportunity
Is i'll the school-buIdlng nearest to
your home. There children are as
sembled, and about children we
have the long-inhel1ted interest
and instinct and experience which
men have about banking and pol

schools are learning now. You
couldn't go far, probably, if you
tried to teach them their letters,
but you can play in the sand-pile
with them as we'll as anybody, and
if they haven't d sand-pile you can
see to it that one is provided for
them. No child should grow up
without knowing all about sand
pile games. Think of this work as
being as dignified as helping out
in a hospital, and you won't feel it
beneath you.
Or suppose the classroom into
which you walk is one of the ter
ribly, tragically overcrowded rooms
where one teacher has fifty child
rem to care for. That ought to be as
impossible in our foreign citizens.
In study period, when they are
busy preparing a lesson, you can
sit ut the teachers desk and let
her stagger out for a breath OF
fresh air or lie down for a quarter
of an hour; a break in the steady
tension of her life that would be
of incalculable benefit to her
nerves. Or you could take the class
off by sections of ten to vlSU
museum, or a manufacturing plant
or railroad yards, or some other ac-
tivity in the life about them which
would bear on their schoolwork.
The teacher would like nothing
better than to do this; she has
been taught to do it in her normal
training. How is she going to man
age it with fifty active youngsters
to look out for?
Oh, yes, once you get inside the
schoolhouse you'll find Yourself
swamped by the opportunities for
usefulness-direct, immediate, vital
usefulness.
And they will open before you
faster and faster as you learn more
about what goes ON there. You
will see lamentable lacks in euuin-
ment, about which the teachers
and superintendent say nothing,
because they are gagged into sill
ence by the outcry over taxes
w nat more money Tor the SchOOlS
And seeing these lacks you will,
being an active American woman,
hustle around and see that they are
repaired. You will be a nuisance to
your family and friends. with your
incessant clamorous demands for
gifts for your school; but your
clamor will have an educational
value. Mostly people avoid spend
ing money and time on their
schools by the simple expedient of
looking the other wav and care
fully protesting their total ignor-
ance of what goes on in the
schools. Just step inside for a
week or so, and see if you can
ever wholly turn your back on
them again.

The Colonial to Show "Turn
to The RIGHT"

Rex Ingram, producer for Metro OF
Turn to the Right which comes to
the Colonial Theatre, Friday, Sept. 1, IS
the first motion picture director whose
work has resolved academic recognition
as fine art. This recognition came from
Yale University, which awarded Mr. In
gram the honorary degree of Bachelor of
Fine Arts for the production Of lbanez's
"The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
1t was with "The Four Horsemen" that
Mr. Ingram rode to fame in the motion
picture world. Only twenty-nine years
old, he already had to his credit the
Metro production of "Shore Acres" and
"Hearts Are Trumps." But "The Four
Horsemen" gave him his greatest oppor-
tunity. With "The Conquering Power"
that followed, he confirmed the belief of
the Yale authorities that an artist OF
great ina aginative force had arrived in
motion pictures.
With Turn to the Right" he returns
to the New England atmosphere of his
first big success, "Shore Acres" The
new picture is an adaptation by June
Mathis ard Mary O'Hara of the John
Golden stage success by Winchell Smith
and John E. Hazard. Indications are
that it will even excel "The Four Horse
men" in popularity.
There will be no advance in prices.

diately after the morning service.
A new year of church life begins.
Those who know the value of the church
in the community ask themselves: "What
will the church do this year for US and
for our city; in what measure shall we
be more kind. one to another, more ten
derby truthful, and more generously help
full this year, because of the church."
Many persons are asking this question
these days. The answer to every indi~
vidual is: "You are the church. It's Wis
ion of God, its power to teach, and it's
strength to serve, depends on you. II
you are faithful to the church in stead
fast faith that thereby you will have 81
clearer perception of Gods presence, 9
stronger faith in the inestimab'e and in
creasing worth of human nature, and .
growing desire to serve these two as the
greatest purpose in life, then the church
will be richer in these elements, and the
city will be rich in character through the
service rendered by the church. There il
| no escape from either promise or conclu-
sion. Many hundreds of tiny threads 60

Any single thread can be easily broken.
But because they all run in the same di-
rection, each lending its strength to the
other; and because they are closer woven
together, each seeking the good OF all,
their combined and united strength is as
tonishing. There is nothing we cannot
do if, unitedly, we hold to the divine pur-
pose to serve others rather than our
selves To such service are we novS'

Two Boys Swim Penobscot Bay.

Two boys who are spending the summer
at Camp Navajo for Boys in Nortnport
on Penobscot Bay, accomplished q feat
one day last week in swimming the Peno-
bscot Bay, distance of some three miles
and aftef landing on the shore at Isles
boro, were ready to make return, via
water.
Camp Navajo is small salt water
camp for boys, located near Saturday
Cove in Northport, where a select number
of boys are annually entertained under the
management Of Orrin j. Dickey of Bel
fast, and where there are about twenty
boys from various states in the Union.
One of the features is instruction in
swimming and this year. the boys have
received considerable training in that
line, under the direction of Camp Director
Troyer c.. Anderson, Dartmouth '22, and
a son of Prof Frank c. Anderson of the
Department of History of Dartmouth
College. The feat has never been attemp-
ted in camp before, althol Oh most of the
boys who have become proficient in swim
ming have expressed desires along that
line.
A few days ago. Director Anderson con-
sented to trial, and the two boys given
permission for the test, were Clayton Col.
cord, son Of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Colcord
OF DelIdst, anu CoWaIu OIos ol ODeIhuS
Ohio, aged sixteen and fourteen years
respectively. The distance has always
been said to be three miles and it meant a
lot to the boys, who successfully made
the trip.
No attempt for speed was made on the
trip ard the boys were cautioned to swim
slowly and surely, saving their strength
for the final end of the swim and time
was not considered in the whole journey.
Every precaution was taken for the trip,
so that there was no danger attached, and
from the time the boys left the shore at
Northport until they landed at Islesboro,
they were surrounded with every care.
Camp Director Anderson and a number OF
other camp boys accompanied the swim
mers, dressed IN bathing suits, and with
life preservers in boat, ready for any
