Many stage people now depend entirely
upon MarmOla Prescription Tablets for re-

Matching Nonsense.
A FRIEND just showed me a

G A FRIEND just showed me last months
n copy of your paper with the letter from
"A High Officer stating that the soldier bonus bill
pushed by the Catholic Church. That idea is
pushed in Masonic circles and doubtless accounts
for the veto of the bill by the High Noble. Many
of US now believe that all the venomous anonymous
letters in The Herald are its real editorials, while
the ordinary editorial space is filled with hypocritical
humbug for the uninitiated l innocently sent you
answer to some such rotten stuff last year. Not
line of it was published. although l gave my name
in fuil-Fair Play"
The above letter came in the morning mall 1t
seems unbelievable that the intelligence of any
American citizen would permit him to write such
stuff-that anybody with common school education
would not understand that letters from the public
printed in newspaper have nothing whatsoever in
common with its editorial opinion. We always are
glad to print what our readers thnk-so long as
they restrict themselves to the bounds of common
decency.
Occasionally print letter because it is so
nonsensical that it is humorous. This happened to
he the case in the instance referred to above The
| charge that the Catholic Church was pushing the
bonus bill appealed to us as so laughable that we
passed it along for the enjoyment of our readers
with, If remember correctly, some attempted
humor in the headline. We did not anticnate that
anybody would take it seriously. Greatly to our
surprise, 4 number of letters were received in reply
| to this charge. These, of course, were thrown in
the wastebasket We did not care to engineer a
controversy over such silly subject
Up to the present we had considered the letter
from "A High Officer" the funniest of al the funny
letters that get into daily newspapers mail The
one printed above, however is fitting co-spanion
for it.

There are two kinds of persons

The first recognizes in radio a fad

music comes from doesn't concern

made to him that contributions by
his rich Jewish friends" would re-

The inquiry will be under direc-

says he refused. and that his recent

School Banks Here to Stay.

r. HE success of the students bank at Eastern
i High. through which more than $4,000
has passed during the year, illustrates the value
Of such institutions They should be established
in every large school, Among the moderately edu-
Gated public at large there is lamentabe it,
noranee in regard to banking matters. The. ay-
erase boy girl leaves school with hazy Aeas
OF investments, checking accounts etc. OF course.
these subjects studied in the arithmetic classes
But often the teachers themselves have no prac-
teal knowledge 1t is a matter of abstract terms.
Neither instructors nor students know how to draw
up note OF any practical use commercial paper.
But where there is actual experience in banking
affairs the result is different. Intimate contact
breeds familiar knowledge. 1t brings about
realization Of the value of banks 1t puts flesh
and bone on the idea of the bank as an institu-
ton established to serve the public-as an estab-
hshment as essential as a telephone exchange.
Boys who have served apprenticeships in stu
dent banks will enter business with clear under
standing of the difference between putting sIoo
on deposit and betting $roo on a horse race. Safe
investment largely is matter Of cold mathematics.
But mathematics mean little when expressed in
complicated formulas. They must be made tangible
before the average individual is able to appreciate
their importance. Among Eastern High School
graduates, We predict, there will be fewer men
and women who will invest their hard-earned saw
ings in wildcat stock speculation. To one versed
in knowledge of banking unsafe investments are
repugnant.
This is age of business. In America at
present every line of endeavor is connected int-
Biatey with some questions of dollars and cents.
The most successful Clergyman seldom is the man
who can preach the most eloquent sermon-but
the man who preach a good sermon and at
tend successfully to the financial affairs of his
parish.
1t become more and more essential each day
that high school graduates should know something
about business. 1t is not such difficult subject
Men who cannot read write master its most
complicated details-to judge from some of the
business successes we have noted among newly ar
rived aliens. But it cannot be taught in figures on
the blackboard. 1t can be taught by handling dol
lars and cents, by figuring interest rates on actual
money. None of greatly interested in ab-
stract money. What learn about it soon passes
out of the head. Our interest is centered on the
actual "copper" nickel, silver and paper with which
we buy newspapers and automobiles. The average
man or woman learns soon when actual coin or
currency is in the hand.
The Eastern High School faculty has conducted
an excellent and successful experiment. We hope
their example is followed.
