THE AGE OF ART

The American people are in revolt against uglness
On every hand the demand for beauty is in evidence
Parks not the only sign that the public is beginning
to recognize and value beauty. In addition to millions
authorized for the purchase and maintenance of parks
for pleasure authority has been given the expenditure
of more millions for the erection of imposing public
buildings. There beautiful statehouses city halls
postoffces and other public structures Modern school
buildings and grounds frequently rival in beauty the
handsome estates of the rich and the children who at
tend such schools unconsciousy receive an education
in taste and beauty.
1t was proper and necessary for the nation to build
for utility first. Rapid growth is not conducive to art
and grace which the fruits and paythngs of ease
and plenty. America afford to spend time
and money dressing up" and is doing efficient
a job of it as she did with her development along
utitaran lines. Slowly but surely her face is chang
ing for the better.
Americans 60 to Europe and Asia to view the archi-
ecural and engineering wonders of the past. All the
world travels to the United States to see the engineer

PARENTS AND Pupils

common and seemingly warranted complaint among
public school teachers is to the effect that parents
general show too little interest in the education Of
their children. 1t has been said a general prop
ositon that parental assistance however unframed
is more beneficial to the child than educated but ndf-
fcrent parents.
Most parents consider their obligation and respon-
sblity ended when they pay their school taxes and
that their offspring punctua and regular in their
school attendance. Their interest in the school prog
ress of the child begins and ends with the signing Of
the monthly school reports.
Teachers claim they single out of large and
representative class the pupils who receive, at home
instruction and sympathetic cooperation in their school
work. These pupils-usually few in number-invari-
ably show greater progress. They the leaders in
their classes.
The parent who displays interest in the progress
Of the child cannot expect the child to show much
interest in his progress. The negectful parent is
very apt to have delinquent child.
One way to abate the disturbing upward trend Of
school taxes is to return to the home part Of the job
of educating young America Is this asking too much
Of the parent?

before the year is out. 1t has been
suggested that a government COM

how to get rid of ell this dough,

contributing cause, excessive gas
pressure, as the adhesions binding
the intestines in peculiar positions
encourage pockets Of gas to form.
