Burden

South Bend News Tines)
In addition to the glow of pride that
parents take when their children
march off to school is the inevitable
thought that the school system of this
State needlessly burdens them with ex-
orbitant demands for news books.
Free school books are as logical as
free teachers and if the burden be
comes too great upon parents, they
will demand this relief.

needed.
Needs More Funds.
While no general reorganization
of the mission has taken place
since the election of President john

Governors Ladies'
To Be Guests of
Mrs. Coolidge
By JEAN ELIOT.

DIV OE1tAN 1JAAOAs
nR RS. COOLIDGE will be host
WI ess this afternoon to the
wives of the governors of
the, several States who are in
Washington today for a confer
ence. with President Coolidge-or
more properly for such of these
ladies as have accompanied their
respective husbands to town. The
Mistress of the White House will

pensing hospitality to the visitors
by the wives of Cabinet officers

wife of the Postmaster General,
and Mrs. Davis, wife of the Secre
tafy of Labor<w preside at the
tea table.
This pleasant little hospitality
will follow the luncheon which
President Coolidge gave today for
the visiting governors, and it
would seem likely that the
luncheon guests will Hnger in pro-
longed conference over the coffee
cups until late in the afternoon,
joining Mrs. Coolidge and her
guests at the tea hour.
Mrs. Coolidge received the mem
bers of the Camp Fire Girls of the
District of Columbia at o'clock

thank Mrs. Coolidge for accepting
the craftsmanship of the advisory
council of the national organiza-

credentials. The large bag of
cookies. which were highly COM
mended when presented to Mrs.
Coolidge on Wednesday by the
Girl Scouts, was sent to the two
sons of the President and Mrs.
Coolidge, who are at school in
Mercersburg, Pa.
-
MRS. COOLIDGE, it is said. is
much disappointed at the
Presidents decision not, to attend
the Princeton-Navy game at Balti-

of press of business and partly be-
cause he prefers to make no such
public appearances until the period
of official mourning for President
Harding is over.
Mrs. Coolidge is an out-and-

summers while Mr.. Coolidge was

a frequent visitor at the swim
