One swallow doesn't make a summer, an old fable

grounds for such a sweeping and absolutely un-
founded statement. Newspapers are not perfect,
but considering the manifold difficulties under which
they labor. they turn out amazingly accurate word

mat newspapers make mistakes, goes without
saying That sometimes people not correctly
quoted also goes without saying, but We contend
that any man who makes the bald statement that

I When explaining apparent discrepancies in the
Bible, ministers are quick to find excuses for any
inaccuracies that apparent in that piece of re-.
porting, but for the modern newspaper, working
under difficulties thousand fold yes, million fold
greater than those under which the authors Of the
books of the Bible worked, the same ministers hav,

Travellers Aid

The work accomplished by the various travellers
and societies throughout the United States is
worthy OF more than passing notice. More than
100000 persons received help last year in travel
ing from one place to another in the United States
according to the annual report submitted at the
meeting OF the directors of the National Association
of Travellers Aid societies and it has cost 81 OOO
900 to accomplish this work.
Practically every human problem imaginable was
included in the presented to the associations
There were 493sO children travelling alone; ,252
marriages that had to be witnessed; 4833 runaways
were aided; 3O,830 travellers, most Immigrants. had
trouble with the language: and 1887 lost their
tickets or money and needed assistance. Those who
applied to the various bureaus received valuable
advice and information, medical assistance, legal
assistance. directions in regard to securing trans.
portaton as well as temporary and permanent
lodgings help in making connections with relatives
ETC., etc. In fact the limit to the activities of the
societies has not yet been found
This year the national association celebrates it's
tenth anniversary. The last ten years have seen
tremendous growth in this work. Volunteers have
given their time and money to the activity because
it serves vital need
ing the last ten that the travellers aid units
and the national association have received unstinted
praise from police officials throughout the nation
The work the societies do is something the police
would find great difficulty in doing and it is surely
work that requires doing. Let us hope that the
societies will grow and prosper and that more per-
sons will give their time and money to this most
useful activity.

Fleurus didn't recognize the Ger
