RELIGIOUS EDUCATION.
Brief Statement of Origin and OBJ
ipct of the Movement

The question is being asked in
Ellsworth to-day, what does this
religious instruction movement
mean" We are told that fully one
third of the worlds population is
comuosed OF children. In other words,
there are 600,000,0O0 boys and girls
at an age when minds and hearts are
receptive and responsive to the forces
about them, and vast majority of
these are not being reached by re-
ligious education of any kind. This
movement is an attempt to reach
them
The movement is in its infancy
The first school of the kind was
started in Gary. Ind, in 1913, by
Methodist cinister, who called to-
gether the other ministers and the
superintendent of schools. How
significant that meeting was, they did
not realize, but it marked the begin
ming of the movement for adequate
religious instruction of boys and
girls. The movement has progressed
far enough to give vision OF the
far-reaching possibili les that lie
within it, for reaching the boys and
girls and giving them the kind of
training to develop in them dependa-
BILE Christian conduct and train them
for Christiqn citizenship.

HANCOCK-SULLIVAN BRIDGE.
Another Letter from MIR. Young
Resolutions by Hancock Pomona.

Another Letter from MIR. Young
Resolutions by Hancock Pomona.
Hancock, March Q, 1925.
To the Editor of The American:
The active members of the trustees
of the Hancock-Sullivan bridge dis
trict are very loud in their protests
against the toll bridge act, but offer
not one word of sound argument in
defence of their stand. They claim
the only supporters Of it are in Han
cock, and we admit that we are in
that class. Why?
The past two years, Hancock has
raised and assessed $2,8S7.4O. or
this amount, $1,537.66 was applied
to payment of bonds, and $1,349.74
was interest payment. 1t reminds
one of the frog in the well, jumping
up three feet every day and falling
back two and one-half feet every
night. When will we get out?
The agricultural interest IN TINS
district is the foremost one 10 con-
slider, and every acre OF cultivated
land woodlots and pastures, with
buildings. is exposed to this tax 10
the end. Personal property and IN
dividuals can change locations ana
escape it.
= The plain facts are that the county
is as whole, outside of four towns
in the bridge district, in favor OF
toll bridge, and resolutions were
nassed last week by both Pomona
oranges. and by some local Farm Bu-
reau communities in support OF H.
This shows that the agricultural IN
forests are getting alive to the de-
preston in value Of real estate anu

The men, Of course, know the
value of having suit well pressed,
shoes shined and collar clean. But
with the average man clothes are
a matter Of necessity and comfort,
rather than fashion. That is, they
are these as far as his conscious
mind is concerned. Women know
that, although they would never ad-
NIT it, mer have their little vanities
about clothes.
However. It is admitted fashion
plays a larger part in the female
world than in the male.
The explanation is this: The femi-
nine mind is so constructed that a
becoming costume gives a woman
the same feeling of self-confidence
that raise in salary gives a man.
She need not be extensively
gowned, necessarily. But II she
looks her best If she looks better
than the woman next to her she
feels as if she could conquer the
world.
And before you condemn us for
this vanity. Mr.. Man. please remem-
Der that for centuries women had
to depend upon their clothes and
their faces to win them any advan-
tages, because you men refused to
believe they had minds worth con-
sidering.

The Tangle
LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT TO THE LITTLE MAR
E-CONTINUED


Hardly had MELVILLE Sartoris set
tied his party at ringside table
when with a murmured excuse he
left us and I saw him speaking to
the orchestra leader. When he re-
turned to the table he said:
1.-THE next dance after this. Mrs.
Prescott, will be a tango, and 1 give
you fair warning that probably be-
fore we finish we will be doing exhi-
bition dancing. I learned the tango
in Argentine, and 1 have never
known any woman outside Of that
country who can dance It with the
sensuous grace and expert effec-
tiveness that you have. We will
probably be the observed Of all OBJ
servers"
do you hear that, Jack2" said
gaily. Il think I'd better warn you
that If we ever lose our money, it is
very probable that Mr.. Sartoris and
I will take up ballroom dancing"
Go ahead, Leslie" said Jack.
land strut your stuff, for by the time
we have lost our money you'll prob
ably be a fat old woman with three
or four more babies, and have for
gotten that you were ever a delicate
will-o'-the-wisp dancing about to the
admiration of all beholders.
sgd" 1 pleaded, cant you say
something that will keep me from
contemplating such a fate as my
husband predicts for me?"
Il don't think it is an untoward
fate, Leslie" said sgd. THE plump,
adored mother of a large family Of
children is to me the most beautiful
example of womanhood. The girl
who dances the tango is nothing
more than a promise that may never
be fulfilled. The mother with one
child upon her lap, one standing be-
hind her chair. and two or three
lolling at her feet is the consumma-
ton of woman's destiny"
"Hearl Heart" said Jack. do you
know, sgd, that you're just on the
verge Of getting married?"
Nonsense, old chap. I'll never
marry"
well I'll tell the world you've got
all the symptoms, dear boy. When
a man gets to the point where he is
perfectly willing to keep the home
fires burning for an over-plump wife
and five or six children, you can
make up your mind that he's con-
templating marriage and pretty lone
ly, Ell, Sartoris?"
II have never felt, Mr.. Prescott
that my loneliness could be dis
sipated by a large family. True, I
might have had such dreams In my
youth, but even at that time l was
a little doubtful, you know"
The music began. Melville Sar-
toris held out his arms. glided into
them, and we began to dance.
AS he had predicted, we were en-
tirely alone on the floor, and when 1
was conscious Of anything except
the rhythm and the poetry Of the
dance, heard a whisper close to my
ear:
Almost thou persuadest me to be-
lieve."

station, where she bought the
tickets.
For ten minutes ran the gamut
Of shame and humiliation and
degradation. Everyone in the station
walked past us, craning his neck to
see the two women in charge Of the
officers.
Brows went up and lips curled in
sneers. I dropped my head and
looked at the floor, but I could feel
eyes burning into my back.
Matron Offers Candy
On the train, Mrs. McGrail opened

ing that somebody had given her a
large box which she could not eat

Together, she and worked a

Susie munched candy.
When we left the train at small
station, we took a taxi for Marys-
Vile, which was about twenty miles
away.

about the place. 1t was merely a
group of good looking buildings,

and in a moment we were in.

experience lay before me.
Shoulders Of apprehension ran ever
me, at the thought of new horrors,
new filth, new bars and bolts and
sharp commands. I tried to comfort
myself by the reflection that moth.

had just left.

The smallest joys of free speech
and free action assumed mammoth
proportions, now that all freedom
