National Thrift
Week Begins l 9TH

Contributed by the officers of
ttn local P.,I' Teacher sas II
January is long holiday-less
month. and yet an oasis has been
found by many teachers in National
thrift week, which opens with Ben
jjamin Franklin's birthday, January
II. In fact IT is a twofold oasis
patriotic birthday event full o
ac ssibiiities for teaching citizenship,
natriotism and early American his
tory from the life of ore of the ma
kers of Ameica; and the years best
opportunity to teach thrift.
Teachers of the grade schools
should arrange briefly to observe
3enjamin Franklin's birthday as
he first day of National Thrift
week.
The present situation lends itseis
to telling stories of Benjamin Frank
lin. Some good book on Benjamin
Franklin and thrift might be secur-
ed; local banker might be invited
TO speak on thrift Students Ia arr
classes should be asked to design
posters en- thrift subjects
In this way students will be
taught the meaning of thrift
Thrift is habit. Extravaganza
rcts charcter. The habitH of saving
money stiffens the will and bright
S the energies-said Theodore
Roosevelt. He never needed 20
ractise strict economy but was dis
tinctly thrifty nevertheless and new
er lost an opportunity to commend
,hat virtue.
We know that constantly giving
away to the temptation to spend
-aoney breaks down the moral fibre
But if this impulse is checked re
peatedly, it becomes less and less
difficult to control. 1t may be that
the first impulse towards thrift as
taught in the school will be groTn-
ded in nothing more than a spirit of
child will save he
causc his friends are saving or .,e-
rs use il iss the fashion in his class.
S'Lce thrift is 50 much n matt ~ +
habit, it is plainly the duty OF The
school not to waste the years when
ha bits are most easily formed pat
to inculcate thrift as a means to es
blish will power.
Economical expenditure is an i'm
)ortant part of the thrift program
md if the school can influence the
,hild in. this direction, it is prepar
hould mean to the child that he
las control over his expenditures,
u that he may. deprive himself of
me thing in order to gain another.
Realization of this comes to him
nly through the personal experien-
cs of saving carefully and buying
wisely. If the school can induce
i'm to go through this experience,
, is teaching him thrift.
1t is we'll to emphasize the fact
hat thrift means a wise choice in {
pending rather than merely piling
d money for its own sake. If a {
hild can be persuaded to give up |
andy and ice cream for while so !
5 TO save enough money to buy '
lasting such as book or !
pair of skates, the lesson of thrift \
better taught than if the money is l
oarded. \
The choice between the present +
nd future must be made and will
wer must be exercised.
Maxims are often overestimated f
! a means of teaching the ideas q
,ntained in them. Thrift is habit e
life and as such cannot be alb n
ractly taught, b u { must be -
lgendered.

The reason of his coming to Boi-

MCAdOO'S Chance is to
Abolish TwO-Third Rule
WITH INCREASE OF UNINsTRUcT-
ED DELEGATES McADoo WILL
WIN NOMINATION

According to information just receiv
ed at Washington from reliable sourc
es William Gibbs McAdoos forces
have in mind plans which, if it be
found wise to put into operation, win
give the bosses of the Democratic
National Convention the surprise of
their lives.
McAdoo will enter the convention
with more delegates pledged to his
candidacy than any other aspirant for
the nomination, possibly with as high
as forty per cent OF the delegates
pledged to support him, at his presenI
rate of winning primaries.
If this continues, then McAdoo will
be in a strong position, quite as strong
in fact, as Murphy, Brennan and Tag
CART. His power to throw a monkey
wrench in the machinery will be quite
equal with others. The only point is,
can he keep it there, or will the old
timers be able to steal his strength
and flatten him out
The deciding factor, of course, will
be the aninstructed delegates, and it
will be in that arena that the real cir
Gus performance will take place. The
Issue VIII rest on the ability Of the
MeAdoo managers to trade. more skill
fully than Murphy, Brennan and Tag
CERT.
McAdoo, Of course, recognizes the
fact that neither Wall Street nor Tam
many want him and that consequently
he will face bitter opposition from
New York. He knows, too, that under
the tWo-thirds rule he has scarcely a
chance to land the nomination under
any circumstances. However, if he
can manage to gain sufficient addi-
tons to his backing from among the
uninstructed delegates to total 81 per
cent of the votes, there is little doubt
that before the voting begins the pro-
posal will be made to abrogate the
two-thirds rule and to permit major
ity vote to decide the nomination.
The convention by majority vote can
abolish the two-third rule
If that fight be won, then the nomi
nation Of McAdoo is practically GER
,taiRfy
The master card will be played at
the convention
If the two-third rule prevails, then
the Taggart Murphy Brennan forces
will block McAdoo and, in turn, Nc
Adoo will have sufficient delegates to
block their candidate with the conse-
quent result that a "dark-horse" would
be nominated

SMALLPOX IN WISCONSIN


Prompted by the appearance of viru
lent smallpox in Wisconsin the state
board Of health has issued the follow
ing statement;
During the past winters virulent
smallpox has appeared in various
places in America. There have been
a number Of cases in Ontario, whence
it made it's way across the border into
the United States. In January it ap-
peared in the vicinity of Duluth, Mimi
where there were some deaths, and
from Duluth there originated two cas-
es in northwestern Wisconsin, which
in turn infected their immediate fami
lies with malignant type of the dis
ease. Prompt vaccination of all ex-
posures hedged it from further
spread
The mild type of smallpox has been
prevalent in Wisconsin in recent
years, and many people have become
Indifferent to it, so that vaccination

ties. The characteristic history of
smallpox is that of mild epidemics in
terspersed with, virulent and deadly
types. The situation at present is
such that it is not unreasonable to-
expect further cases.
Health officers are required to see
that proper preventive measures are
taken, and as a voluntary measure
vaccination is strongly recommended
by the state board of health There
is no protection against smallpox, es-
pecially of the malignant type, ex-
cept by timely vaccination.
Kansas City, Mo-, in 1921 lost 156
lives from smallpox of malignant
form, and in the same year Denver,
Col, lost As lives and New Orleans
80 from the same disease. These cpl

THREE MUskETEERs HERE NEXT
MONDAY APRIL Hath, 7:15

Through the efforts of the High
School the Motion picture production
"The Three Musketeers' featuring
Douglas Fairbanks in twelve reels,
has been secured for next Monday
night If the attendance warrants, the
picture may be held over for Tuesday
night also. However, all those who
wish to attend are urged to do so on
Monday night The price of admission
for this picture will be Csc to all
school children=and soc to adults. The
expense of securing this film is quite
high but if q good crowd attends this
feature we will procure Robin Hood
next, the rental of which is over one
hundred dollars. Because of the num-
Der of reels the show will start at
7:15. We may add that in the future
our object will be to give good pic
lures to the public and if we cannot
afford to do that to give none at all
but confine the use of our machine
entirely to the school.

installations of machine shears which,
sheepmen figure, pay for themselves

sheep, formerly big problem to farm
