MIR. TINkHAM IN ACTION

Representative Tinkham of Massa- chusetts, Republican, wet and pie turesque in demeanor has an easy time of it in denouncing the Metho- dist Board of Temperance, Prohibi- ton and Public Morals and the Fed eral Council of Churches.
 Mir. Tinkham is not likely 10 lose votes in his district because of his verbal activities. If he were to do so, and despite his great sincerity as an ardent believer in personal libeE- ty, he would be more discraet.
 Now, if MT. Tinkham, instead Of being from d Massachusetts district in which every three out of four persons agree ABith him, were a congressman from, say, Columbus. Ohio. where the Methodists are overwhelming in the ajority, or If he were from some other district where there were continual doubts as to whether the drys or the vets were predominant, what would Mr. link ham do about it?
 He would straddle the fence and take care not to utter a word that might hurt the feelings of his churchly constituents.

Not only in young players of musical instruments, who make up in en- thusiasm and energy what may De lacking from the highly artistic standpoint, but in the dramatics, craft work, clogging clubs, gymnas- tic tumbling, the harmonica club, health plays, glee clubs, handicraft clubs, pageants, drills, folk dancing and myriad of other matters that would take para graphs to enumer- ate.
 These activities develop good citizenship, sound morality, idealism. pride in the city and it's advantages, and do more for Americanism than reams of talk.
 Every year there should be such an exhibit The work entailed may be great, but the results speak fo. themselves. In truth can it be re- peated that the more the public knows about it's schools the more efficient will the schools become.

FIFTY YEARS AGO

As I sit in the shadows alone
 tonight, My thoughts they stray away, Over the ocean dark and blue, Back to your wedding day. And I see a church on little knoll, Bathed in a hallowed glow, The spot where both of you were
 wed, Just fifty years ago. And I heard the song of the meadow lark, In the field beside the way, For the sun shone bright and the
 sky was blue, To bless your wedding day. And I watched you enter the little
 church, With measured steps and slow, To plight your troth as man and
 wife, Just fifty years ago. And now today in your little home, That nestles on the plain, Surrounded by friends you love the
 best, The scene comes back again. And l see you smile a happy smile, Though tears unbidden flow, When you think of the day, when
 you were wed. Just fifty years ago. For memory clings around the past, To the youthful days of yore, When life was young, and spirits
 light, That never come no more. For age creeps on with steady tread, It's not friend-but foe, To take away the youth you had, Just fifty years ago. But in it's place blessing comes, From God who reigns on high, A beacon light of love and faith,

THE SCHOOL. EXHIBIT ENGENDERS PRIDE.

The education exhibit of the New Britain public schools is now under way. From now until the end of the week, afternoon and evening, the public will have unique oppor- tunity to gauge the manifold activi- ties of modern youth in the schools. to judge the product of their skill, and to mentally note the educational. advantages of today-from the ele- mentary grades up-with the more crude methods of a generation ago.
 The exhibit, which is shown in the two large gymnasiums of the Senior high school. and which also includes exercises in the auditorium each afternoon and evening, is truly a re- markable symposium of youthful en- deavor. Ten years ago smaller eX- hibit was held; today, with increased facilities for projecting such an eX- hibition, it has grown into thing Of astounding proportions.
 One cannot help concluding, after passing through the exhibit, tha modern educational methods are superior to the old. The imagination of the child has much freer play. This is evident even in the kindergarten, where the cute ideas Of toddlers is expressed in visual form; and in the lower grades where study is intertwincd with play, and integral part of the advancing cur riculum.
 The educational system has de- veioped into vast machine for human betterment as well as for the medication of knowledge, Even the sub-normal, the partly blind, and those who for any reason have suf- fered a neglect Of education in earlier years, are looked after with understanding and skill.
 And the enthusiasm and pride tha' glows in the face Of the youngsters who recognize in the school ex- hibit an opportunity 10 demonstrate to admiring parents and the public generally just how smart they are. It i. a gratifying tribute to the cx- cellenceS Of the school curriCula that the army of children in attend ance at the buildings take such uni versal pride in them. The school loyalty of the child nowadays matches the loyalty 10 alma mater of the collegian. There is also an bounding pride of the children in the new buildings, and this Is shared by their parents.

REGULATING HOURS OF LABOR


 A question such as introduced for discussion by Representative eff. ford of sachusetts in Congress the other day, regarding the advis- ability Of a federal law to regulate and control the hours of labor in industry, was certain 10 materialize in the face of wide divergencies Of state laws affecting industry. A few years ago Mir. Clifford S thesis would have been considered radical. Today it is at least admit ted that there Is a possibility of some such action being taken ill nearby years.
 Under present conditions states with modern, labor laws-at least more or less modern-are at a dis. tinct disadvantage compared with states which avoid 'heckling" in- dustry in order to attract manufac- turing plants.
 That is one of the reasons why so many textile plants have moved from New England to the South. One needs only to read the advertise ments Of southern states and municipalities to learn that one of the main reliances to attract north ern industries is the promise of an absence of labor laws which are the North.
 Massachusetts. of the New Eng land states, is especially hard hit from this species of competition. 1 The states 4S-hour law for women and minors, and the prohibition of night work for women, were laws conceived to safeguard women and children from exploitation. especially in the textile industry. This indus l try for years has been endeavorins to secure the repeal Of these laws; and being unsuccessful. many plants have been removed to the South, where there are no limits 10 the working hours of women and chill drcn.
 The strain upon industry in states i having enlightened labor laws grows continually in the face Of competition in states lacking such laws. Just now the greatest strain is in the textile industry; but there is no guarantee that as the South ad- vances Industrialiy other indus tries in the North will not share the strain
 If the federal Government were | empowered to set a labor standard i for one set of workers it would be able to do so for all labor. Although l manufacturers not at present suffer ing intense competition from indus l tries in states lacking adequate labor ' laws would not feel inclined to favor such an extension Of the federal i power, there are some manufacturers in the textile business who are not greatly alarmed at such a prospect
 It is true that newly made indus. trial states in the South gradually will adopt higher labor standards but there are 4S states in the Union and there will aways be some within the next century. who vii hold forth this species of untail T.
