Gen. Wood and Philippines

"Finish the job is the advice of General Leon
ard Wood in reference to the Philippines. For more
than twenty years he has been close student of
the islands. His contact with the native problems
has been most extensive. From this great expert
ence comes the conclusion that the Philippines are
not yet ready for complete independence.
While he believes that the Filipino is potentially
capable of self government, it will be a long time
before he will actually be ready to stand alone,
More schools and more teachers are necessary for
the spread of education throughout the islands.
Education, maintains Gen. Wood, is the great need
of the Philippines and the process of educating the
Filipino to take up the responsibilities and obliga-
tions of self government is bound to be slow
He points out effectively that the islands must
have their finance, agriculture and commerce upon a
firm basis before freedom is accorded the Philip
pines Too many educated Fipinos, he declares,
are dazzled by political ambition and not enough
attracted by the harder and more important tasks
of maintaining civilized society,".

would bring disaster and trouble in the Pacific

merely be thinking about getting back to school
1t means that the attendance at the schools will be

County Superintendent Donovan pointed out in
last weeks independent that taxpayers money will
be wasted
Poor attendance annually causes a large proper
tion of failures among students. Only 22 per cent
Of the eighth grade passed last year. Many lower
grade pupils failed. Some failed for the second or
third time to make grade.
The reasons for the nonattcndance are many and
varied, bat it is easy to that in rural com.
muny the chief cause will be that the boys or
girls kept at home to work. They may be
needed at the farm they may not be needed, bu.
they remain at home In the spring there is more
work to demand that they quit school temporarily.
But does this sysem pay?
It is granted that young pupils give valuable
service the farm. In fact that is the reason 70 :
keeping them in school. Why prolong the process
of grade education by taking boy from school for
few weeks each fall when he must get started
with the class and for few weeks each spring
when he must finish the years school work? Tie
boy is kept in school until that time he will finish
when he is II years old If he is kept out for prob
ably month or six weeks when he is 13 or IA. the
chances that he will be prevented from grad
uating until he is 16 II years old.
The father who needs his sons services Wien
school bells call is giving away two. three four
years Of the lads help for few months. 1t is poor
business for the farmer; it is unfair for the boy: it
is wasteful for the taxpayer. In short keeping boys
and girls out of school, thereby causing them to
postpone their graduation day. is simply no good,
There is need for your boys education greater
than the need for the service which his immature
muscles can give. The boy of today without fair
education is like the shackIed runner in the Of
life From the most unselfsh most selfish stand
point it is well for you to aid instead of hinder
your boy in his progress through school. 1t will
pay.

the top it made fine table.
"An old lady lives here who had

likes to keep these old things about

"Yes. and if you look on the back

brass nails in an uneven row. Every
year on her birthday, when Mrs.
Gordon was little girl, her father
drove in one tiny nail to show how
much she had grown. But after

The Twins looked. and sure enough
there were the heads of several tiny
brass nails.

medical Investigators make thorough
examinations Of all public school
children at the beginning of the
school year. This should be the case
in every school in the country.
If it is not the case with the
school which your children are
about to enter, if no medical in
spection is carried on in that school,
you have scarcely done your duty
as parents unless you have taken
your child to doctor for a physical
examination before the beginning
of the new school year.
Competent medical inspection of
your children at the beginning of
the school year is one of the most
important prepalb tions which alb
parents should make.
The blame for dullness and slow
d progress in studies, found among
many children in schools where
medical examination does not form
part of the routine procedure. may
be judged to rest squarely upon the
parents rather than upon the child.

1t is safe to say that all parents
are particularly anxious concerning
the welfare Of their children about
to enter school and are anxious that
they should succeed in their studies
and obtain the full benefit to be de-
rived from school attendance.
The clothing, books and equip
ment which are prepared constitute
only small portion of the equip
ment necessary for the child at
school

cognize the necessity for child's

go the change Of environment from
the home to the classroom, for when
this change comes conditions arc met
which frequently reveal physical de

There are many mothers and faith
ers still who do not realize that a
pupil in poor health will not be able
to cope with his studies. Poor
health often handicaps boy or girl
in school, retards progress and final

his work.

not know the true cause of his back.
