TRUE HISTORY

What is history? Apparently too
many purchasing committees of
school system answer, "a book, to be
bought as cheaply as possible" For
it is certain that the children of the
United States are not all being
taught from true histories. And a
history that is not true is, much what
the old lady said of the girage, as
she looked at it for the first time:
'There amt no such ANIMAL"
History not true, is not history, but
propaganda.
History which teaches something
else than history, is history pevert-
ed.
History of the United States which
does not keep forever young the
memories of the great men whose
traditions are our glory, is no fit
book for school or library. For what
did Washington, Putnam, Wayne,
Lighthouse Harry Lee, Nathan Hale,
Decatur, Farragut, Lincoln live and
die if not to hold a mighty torch of
truth and bravery and patriotism and
selfless devotion to America before
US all? Did we fight war of revo-
luton for principle or for money {?
Did we fight a war in 1912 for prin-
ciples or gain? Did we fight a war
in Mexico for cash or for love of
country? Did we defeat Spain, put
Cuba on its feet and civilize the
Philippines for American ideals or
to add wealth to our Golfers? Did
we send millions of men and billions
of dollars to Europe for wealth or to
help make the world safe for demo-
cracy?
Then let US tell the truth in the
books we call histories, which are not
historical unless they tell the truth,
and let us see, all of US, that the
volumes our children study in our
schools are American patriotic, truth
telling, real, and not shams, propa-
ganda, or colOred by sect, creed, or
political belief.
For in that way, and in that way
only, may we be sure that our child
rem grow up good Americans!

duration at different points in Min
nesota and Wisconsin. In an inter
view with a Producers News report
er Mr.. Mayo says that he is satisfied
with Sheridan county and he found
that conditions are just as bad or
worse in the east than they are here.
The past three days the weather
has been like spring. The snow is
rapidly disappearing and water IS
taking its place. The roads are in
very bad condition at this time as
there is neither shedding nor wheeling.
But with the present weather, the
roads will soon be in shape for wheel
ing. And if it SHOWS we will again
have shedding SO there you are.

to the ends of the rotor winding. The
other ends of the pigtail connections
are used to connect the rotor to the
external circuit.
The panel layout of the set should
have the couplers at the top Of the
the couplers. Each condenser is un-
derneath the coupler it controls. The
primary coupler will, of course, go at
the left edge of the panel so as to be
near the aerial and ground posts.
In tuning the set it is well that you
do not condemn it too soon, as its
extreme selectivity is often discour-
aging until one becomes familiar with
the tuning tricks.
1t is possible to use regular vario-
couplers in this circuit, but the re-
suits will not be as good. The con-
densers should also be of the best.
If dry cell tubes are to be used ex-
pertinent with the plate voltage until
you have found the best point.
Shielding will sometimes aid If any
capacity effects are noted; the Sec
ondary condenser will probably be the
one needing the shield. The ticker
control is very critical and should be
watched carefully in tuning distant
stations. 1t may be set at the best
point for a certain band Of frequen-
cies, but when a station is received,
there is a possibility of losing it If
the ticker is turned too quickly.-New

Restrictions of PIebeians.

Roman commoners were called Pie
beians and were originally forbidden
all political rights. They were for the
most part poor, and not allowed TO
intermarry with the Patricians. They
served in the army without pay. were
sold into slavery for debt, and could
even be cut in pieces for distribution
among their creditors. Finding their
conditions intolerable, the Plebeians in
495 B. c. repaired to Mons Sacer, near
Rome, where they resolved to build
new city; but this step so alarmed
the privileged classes that they grant
ed to the Plebeians the right Of choos-
ing annually from their own number
two magistrates, called tribunes. with
power to protect them against aggres-
sion Of the Patricians. After the lapse
Of about 200 years the disabilities of
the Plebeians were almost entirely re-
moved.
