Christian Science

The error of mesmcric and hyp-
notic practices, both ancient and
modern, will be emphasized in the
lesson.sermon Sunday in all branches
Of The Mother Church, The First
Church of Christ Scientist, in Bos.
ton, Mass.
A citation from the Old Testa-
ment presents Ezekiel's words:
"Thus saith the Lord God; woe un-
to the foolish prophets, that fol
low their own spirit, and have seen
nothing. They have seen vanity
and lying divination, saying, The
Lord saith: and the Lord hath not
sent them: and they have made
others to hope that they would con-
firm the word. Have ye not seen
a vain vision, and have ye not spok-
en- lying divination, whereas ye
say, The Lord saith it; albiet !
have not spoken' +. and ye shan
know that | am the Lord God"
A correlative passage from "Sci-
ence and Health With the Key to
.he Scripture" by Mary Baker
! Eddy is as follows: "Christian Sci
ence goes to the bottom of mental
action, and reveals the theodiey
which indicates the rightness of all
divine action, as the cmanaticn of
divine Mind, and the consequent
wiongness OF tne opposite so-called
action-evil, Oteultism, necromancy
lacsmerism, animal magnetism, hyp
| notism."

EIGHT HOUR DAY FOR WOMEN

Theoretically, the suggestion of James j. Davis sec
retary of labor, for eight hour day for working
mems wives, is good one but like many other theor
les is difficult to put into practice many of the
women whose work Mr.. Davis would make lighter,
could inform him.
Housewives and do plan their work to certain
degree, but formulating schedule that will enable
them to adhere to eight hour shift would require
the wisdom of Solomon.
Mr.. Davis enumerates among the housewives duties,
washing, ironing cooking sewing, nursing shopping
and few more. If these or less standardized
duties were all, the housewife would still have diff
fcult time to accomplish her work in eight hours. But
it is the unforeseen tasks constantly popping up that
add to the difficulty of maintaining regular hours.
One canot foresee when Johnny is going to home
with the buttons all pulled off his clothes Susie with
tear in skirt; when the baby is going to set up
howl demanding attention, nor when company is going
to drop in for visit
A dozen more of the 'unforeSeens" pop up
in the course of day. in spite of the most methodical
planning, each of which takes time to adjust with the
result that any schedule is bound to be shot to smith
Greens.
And we shudder to think what would become of
Young America if mothers decided that an a. to
pm. schedule all that required of them. Dad
and kids would get late breakfast, if any, and dinner
kids might get it. Who would put the youngsters to
bed, soothe the childish that have accumulated
during the day, and then sit patiently by listening
while the lord and master told what wonderful guy
he is and how hard he worked how misunderstood he
is and all the rest of the drivel that accumuates IN
the male think tank?
Mr.. Davis means we'll but any woman can tell him
a multitude of reasons why obtaining eight hour
day for men the easiest thing the world compared
to obtaining the same hours, even II or 10 hour
men thought along his line perhaps could do some
thing toward making womans task lighter, but as Ior
standardizing -one might we'll try to standardlze
freckles.

This spirit is natural with Americans and particu-

Many may ask of what use it is to spend so mucn
time effort and money exploring such barren, des-
olate waste the Antarctic To such these 1t might
be said that had their argument been followed by all
there would have been by Columbus, no set
Elements by the American coonists no great mlgra-
ton into the unknown OF our own country
1t this streak of curiosity in inherent IN the
adventurer and explorer in the scientist the inventor
and the scholar that has contributed to the develop
ment of our modern civilization.
Who tell what natural resources may be un-
covered in the land Commander Byrd visiting?
And even if they not his explorations will tend to
make our maps and biographies more accurate and
add much information to knowledge.
1t takes skill, courage and tremendous tenacity of
purpose to succeed under the conditions which Com
mander Byrd and his facing. Their success
is assured and certain to add lustre to the pages

JUNIOR REPUBLIC
CHARGES DENIED
BY SCHOOL HEAD

Denial that harsh conditions ex-
list at the California Junior Repub-
lie, or that boys attending school
there are improperly fed and sub
jected to abuse, is made in letter
addressed to the Press by Charles
+. Wright, superintendent of the
school
The charges were made by Floyd
Higbee and Curtis Miller, inmates
Of the school, who ran away and
were picked up by local Officers the
latter part of October. At that
time they told Probation Officer
Griffin that they had been poorly
fed at the school and had been sub
iected to beatings by older students
there.
Superintendent Wright states that
turned to school Higbee has again
rpn away stolen two automobiles and
after being arrested in San Bernar-
dino county was returned to the
juvenile hall in Los Angeles for
commitment to Whittier School for
Boys. Miller has "stayed put" at
the Republic.
Both youngsters have been adept
in escapades of more or less serious
nature, Superintendent Wright
points out, and he expressed no sur
prise at the tall tales they told to
officials here. The mothers of the
boys have not paid 500 a month to-
ward their support as the young
sters charged, Wright declares, and
the parents have not paid anything
toward their maintenance at the Re-
public. the county of Los Angeles,
OF which they are wards, paying
SO month toward their support
though it costs the school approx
ilatelv $50 n month for each boy
The balance is made up by contri-
buttons from friends of the school.
California Junior Republic has
been in existence for 90 years, the
superintendent advises and is cited
by educational and welfare organiza
tions throughout the state and by
the Children's Bureau at Washing
ton. as an organization rendering II
distinct worthwhile service for
poorly directed and undcr-privileged
boys.
Controvcrting the statement of
Miller and Higbcc that they were
poorly fed, Superintendent Wright
states the schools rating in table
service has been. found on official
inspection to be 30 per cent higher
than the standard requirements
fixed by the American Red Cross.
Physical punishment or abuses by
elder boys he declares occur less
frequently at the Republic than in
other private schools for boys in
the southern part of the state.
