"You seem to know a lot about It,"
said one of the young Muskrats.

OUR CHILDREN
School Building.
By ANGELO PATRI.

This Is a high day in the history Of
the American home. Never were houses
so lovely. Never were they equipped
with such comforts, such labor-saving
devices. Never was so much beauty
within the reach of homemakers. One
can go through street after street Of
lovely homes set in gardens and shaded
by beautiful trees. Flowers and birds
and fountains make glad the eyes Of
the traveller. But how about the school?
In one lovely old town came upon q
little building set upon o bleak hill,
its bare windows staring, its cold lines
frowning, its poor bare clapboards
shrinking from the contemptuouS gaze
of the paSsersby. Not blade of grass,
although the homes had gracious lawns;
not a Towering shrub, though the gar
dens were aglow with them; not o shade
or a hint of drapery, though the win
dows all about were swathed in lovli-
ness.
The children had worn q crooked
narrow path to the door, but there were
no defining stones, no helpful gravel
to steady their slipping feet. Inside
correspondent to outside. This place
has not been painted since the Civil
War;" said the weary teacher. Those
window shades have hung in tatters
as long as I've known the school, and
I was born here. The school building is
the property Of the district and nobody
must lay hand upon 1t even to better
it. I'm leaving at term end"
Six children huddled on three
benches holding tattered books That
was the school. You see the big tax
payers have no children They will not
permit any money to be spent upon
this little handful. Poor things. No,
the nearest consolidated school Is in
the next State. We have none"
How can this be? How can Ameri-
can ladies and gentlemen stand by and
see such building in their neighbor-
hood? How can they permit children,
any children, black, white or yellow, to
grow up under such educational dis
advantages?
1t is not enough that you educate
your own children. If you were selfish
enough for that there Is the law Of life
that insists that you and all who be-
long to you are a part of all who are
your neighbors, your ancestors and
your posterity. What touches one must
touch all and the best way to secure
your own comfort and happiness Is to
aid others to secure theirs
That uncouth child down the street
may marry into your family. That ig-
norant one may hamper you in your
business. The out-at-the-heel family
lowers the value Of your property. Self
ish motives would force you to lend q
hand If all other notions were lacking

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

and yourself. It is often said that an
insurance policy is worth while for its
loan value If for nothing else.
But it is generally conceded that
when a man borrows on his insurance
policy he is simply borrowing from his
widow and orphan, for seldom Is the
loan repaid, and in the event of the
holders death the amount borrowed Is
simply deducted from the face value of
the policy. If at the end of 20 years
the insured has borrowed more than
$4,000 on his $4,000 policy, the heirs
will receive less than $1,000.
But we all know how difficult it Is to
repay large sum of money, especially
when no one Is pressing us for it. The
man who has borrowed the equity In his
policy Is very likely to allow the inSur-
ance to lapse rather than pay the in
terest on the loan, and the dependents
of the borrower frequently find them
selves left without any insurance pro-
lection whatever.
Don't make the mistake of borrowing
on your life insurance policy, except in
great emergency, and then only in
small sums which you have good reason
to believe you will be able to repay cas-
lily and within q specified time. Money
50 obtained should be returned with ex-
treme conscientiousness as soon as pay
ment IL possible.
The wife, or whoever the beneficiary
Is, should use her influence when q
policy Is taken out to see that it is
drawn so that to make any change or
to borrow money on 1t the written con-
sent Of the beneficiary is necessary.
Such a plan, by making two people re-
sponsible for any borrowing, instead Of
one, often prevents hasty action, and
second thought may discover a better
way out of the dilemma than borrowing
on the insurance policy.
