You know I'm as busy as farmer

The long wait for the badge test
whs rather strenuous test on the con-
tel tants as well as the few in charge
but Mary Williams and Ruth Wat
kihs brought back bronze badges out
of the three eligibles, so we came
ho1pe happy.
JAst twelve more days before the

shoRt? Some have dropped out for
AGRICULTURAL work but the most of us
are working for dear life as attend
ance and grades count half and stand
ard tests the other half of our final

HOW happy I am that I have had
good attendance and was here for the

comfort in the fact that we can all
feel we have had our share in making

What TrrC Children
Learn at SundaySchool /?

In millions Of homes at Sunday dinner, father o mother inquiries
of Willie and Edna: "Wen, what did you learn at Sunday school
today2"
And Willie and Edna squirm feebly and answer: cav, nothin'."
Six times out of nine they ar. right. An unframed, unprepared
teacher, a lesson about Sennacherib or Uzziah, a few worsethan-
meaningless songs-and the net result is boredom, indifference,
contempt, and a determination on the part of the children to quit
Sunday school and church at the earliest possible moment.
The religious education of young America is too important a
matter to be handled IN a sEpshod, inefficient, money-grabbing
manner. If you doubt this read Charles A. Shden's article
on page 81 Of the May Journal.
Other articles Of special timeliness are:
Flapperdan1es and Fzapperoosters, by Freeman Tlden, a
humorous study of Tapping grandmothers and aged lounge lizards.

greatest preacher.

Does Your Husband
Hate Your Clothes !?

The other Saturday afternoon we had to wait an hour in an excu.
sie mems club thirty minutes from Broadway. It was around six
o'clock and during the hour at least fifty women came in to join their
husbands for dinner.
One woman wore tan wooden stockings with black satin slippers.
Another had on a black silk crepe sleeveless dress, embroidered all
over in white, and topped with a semi-sports red straw hat.
Two had notwithstanding cloche hats of obscure origin-but to
60 on is only to pile on the agony.
There wasn't a weU-dressed woman In the room.

The corner boodegger sells all those poisons-

how hard it is to buy booze under prohibition. He
