 "Actualy nothing. The state or- ders the board to educate the chill dren of the city and if they need more than we give them, they can go ahead and spend" Senator Hall answered.
 But the board can't hold us lia- ble for anything it spends to educate children who are more than 16 years of ago." interjected Alderman John- son.
 Alderman Zapatka favored reduc- ing the item of textbooks and requir- ing the board to stop frequent changing of books. Replacement of books is necessary and the item al- lowed is for that purpose, it was ex- plained.
 Do you think it is time we'll spent when we discuss school ex- renses?" asked Councilman Will liam D. Boyle who has severely criticized the board in the past.

 This is the burden of the first comprehensive scientific study of the aboriginal population of America. undertaken about quarter century ago by the late James Mooney for the bureau of American ethnology and just published by the Smith, sonian institute. as compiled from his manuscripts. notes and tables by James R. Swanson of the bureau.
 From an estimated population of 1,l53,00O before the white man came. Mir. Mooney's tables disclose, the aborigines had dwindled by 1907 to about 40s,000. Many tribes had passed out of existence. others had dropped off to a handful of survivors and still others had been absorbed by more powerful tribes and con- federations. Relatively few showed a numerical Increase, and in almost every instance that was attributed to the intermixture of white or ne- Egro blood and the absorbtion of smaller or inadequately armed neighbors.

 Y believe there is leakage in every department of the city government to the extent that unnecessary pu| chases are always being made. We find it frequently in the finance committee, Alderman Johnson as serted.

 The meeting adjourned without taking definite action. but members of the council indicated an effort to reduce the rate will be attempted.

But somehow he didn't know
that-he didn't understand.
We're so used to the world
and its disappointments and its
disillusion, we older people
sometimes it's hard for US to
realize how bitter these things
are when you're young and ten
der-minded and soft-hearted and
want to believe that people are
good and honest and worth
trusting.
What a pity it is ever to let a
boy feel that he is alone in the
world, ever to let him imagine
that his parents do not love him,
or that they are disappointed
in him.
What a shame il is to permit a
girl to imagine that her mother
does not understand her and
would not love her if she did un-
derstand her.
Why do we build these walls
Of misunderstanding and dis
trust between ourselves and our
children, the one thing in the
world that really matters?
There's no need of being sen
timental and over-emotional, but
oh, little girl, come back with
me down the road, don't you re-
member when you were little and
rosy and curly-headed and you
and I used to take our little
basket of lunch and 60 out and
spend the day in the mountain
woods together? Just you and
I and how we used to play house
and tell fairy stories and talk,
just you and T., and how the
mountain stream laughed at our
feet and how you used TO run
and throw your arms around me
and say, ooh, mother, l love you
50, I love, and ! love you and !
love you"
What is It that has come be-
tween US, why do you fear and
distrust me?
That poor boy they found in
the woods the other day, what
secret was he hiding in his poor,
troubled, boyish heart?
| wonder if his heart-broken
mother even suspected that he
had a secret? How alone we all
are in the midst Of the crowd
after all, everyone of US.
