that. owing to lack of funds. we have
been compelled to turn away hundreds
of little ones who should he, IN our
Home. We are now exerting every eff
fort to raise more money for the pur-
pose Of enlarging our institution. so
that ultimately we shall be able to
care for one hundred and fifty more
children.
The great jewish hospital and sann-
torium of Denver for the treatment of
tuberculosis are annually receiving
hundreds of sufferers from all parts
of the country. While these patients
are offered the full benefit of the insti-
tutions. no provision is made for the
care of their children. In addition.
many families arrive here daily with
the father or mother. and in some in
stances beth suffering from the white
plague and unable TO take care of their
offspring. Our institution is called up
on to extend its protecting wings over
the children of these helpless parents.
Case after case of this character pre-
sents itself almost daily for our con
sideration; the parents crying that we
save their little ones from want, hun
GER and cold-save the children from
their own fate by taking them away.
and thus preventing the children from
becoming victims of the terrible white
plague.
We have done all that was humanity
possible in advancing the noble cause
to which we have dedicated ourselves
as life's accomplishment. In every
action taken and thought given, the well
fare of the children intrusted to our
care received the utmost consideration.
Our policy has always been and will
continue to be that the unfortunate
child who is deprived of is own hcme
and the protection and influence of its
dear parents, Should receive better
treatment, education, and training than
/ it would have obtained in its own home
by the limited financial means of its
parents and unfavorable environments
in the home of its parents. We have
always conducted our HCme on the
broad principle that to make II people
and Nation happy and great, the citi-
zens of the Nation must he well edu-
Gated and patriotically trained. and
that it is the duty of the public child
caring institution to rear its charges so
us to equip them mentally and physical
ly to assume the full duties and re-
sponsiblities of citizenship and by their
lofty training to advance civilization
for the good of all mankind. In our
Home we do not only provide adequate
ly for the physical welfare Of the chill
dren. but each child Of proper age
must receive High School education
and Musical training. We recognize the
inspiring influence of Music in the
making of contentment and happiness

SCHOOL NOTES

County Superintendent Mrs. Min
ME Ide was in Basin on Wednesday
and Thursday of last week to attend
the meeting of the Big Horn Basin
Schools Association.
Plans for the teachers institute to
be held at Basin on August 9th 1928
we're proposed and discussed, and the
rules governing the examination were
altered in that those taking the exam
nations must make an average of 80
in order to qualify.
Misses Kelly and Koppens of Kal
amazoo Michigan were engaged to
conduct special classes at the institute
and as these ladies are especially
trained for the work that they are
doing, it is anticipated that much
benefit will be derived by those in
the special classes that they will con-
duct.
All of the pupils of the 7th and 9th
grades will have preliminary exam
nations as soon as the papers arrive
from the state board and final exams
will be held on May 9th and 10th
No teacher will give examinations or
correct the papers of their own pupils

them. He started a food factory. HE
WAS A CAPITALIST. He had prop.

power.
But trouble began. The other mon
keys grabbed the kernels and alto
them up as fast as he knocked them
out Of their shells. THEY WERE
SOCIALISTS. There were other
stones and they could have cracked
their own walnuts. but they believed
in dividing up share and share alike

Capitalist monkey got so mad tina
he did the same thing to their headt
