will be welcome to attend full sessions
if they can conveniently do so.
The invitation, while extended by the
schools authorities, is also given by the
pupils. The youngsters are often aware
of the indifference which their parents
hold toward the schools and they are as
anxious as their superiors to overcome
this Indifference.
Our public schools are the foundation
of American citizenship. The training
they give in cooperation with the home
training of boys and girls, decides the
sort of men and women we are produc-
ing. There is no more important work
than this, though spellbinderS may make
themselves hoarse arguing the import
ance of taxation, tariff, prohibition, bet
ter transportation, need of improving
crops and numerous other phases of life.
These are important, but the essential
Importance of proper education is in
disputable.
1t is the duty and privilege of every
adult who can possibly do so, to visit
the schools at some time during this
week and no parent who has children
in school can afford to pass up this oc-
casion without being conscious of hav-
ing side-stepped real duty.

Two Texans with grudge, killed each
other in a duel, which is complete if
not entirely satisfactory way of settling
grudges.
This tragedy of the Stockholm match
king is to be considered terrible, until
we consider that it is Sweden's lone trag-
edy of this sort whereas our own coun-
try can furnish dozens of such incidents.
Somewhat belatedly we pay our re-
spects to our new chief and our new police
Judge. If the former lives up to his
front name and the latter accepts no
suits except the court kind, all will be
we'll.

A Sermon for Today
New and Old.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Many of the priests and Levites and
chiefs Of the fathers, who we're ancient
men, that had seen the first house, when
the foundation of this house was laid
before their eyes. wept with q loud
voice; and many shouted aloud for
joy. Ezra. iii.12.
The incident is familiar to Bible read
ers. Many of the eNled Jews had re-
turned from Babylon TO Jerusalem The
foundations OF new temple had been
the Lord was proclaimed Assembling
the people sang hymns Of praise and
shouted for JOY. But many of the
priests and Levites and chiefs of the
fathers, who were ancient men. and who
had seen the od temple before the days
of the captivity. when the foundation
Of the new building was laid before
their eyes. wept with loud voice. 1t
could hardly be discerned whether Joy
or grief was the prevailing mood.
Here are two attitudes toward change.
The fathers wanted to see things as
they had BEEN There were all the hal
lowed memories and sacred associations
lingering over the past; how blessed
traditions; how glorious they we're!
These ancient men looked at the build
ing that was to take the place of the
house of the Lord they had known. 1t
lacked the grandeur of the former
temple. 1t seemed so small. Everything
seemed so different. How could they
rejoice? But to the younger people the
glory of the past was dim vision, and
the present a great reality. They re-
joiced. and not without good reason. No
wise man lightly breaks the links bind

that. If the place of worship is changed,
the Eternal God is the same Not in
this house or that is He confined. He
is not more in the past than in the
present What he was to the fathers
and ancient men, He will be to their
children. 1t is fitting that they should
hallow the place where they meet with
Him.
It often happens that love of the old
makes people unjust to the new. 1t is
right that we should love the old. 1t
is natural that we should sorrow at
parting with things that have been
But many things are bound to pass
The finger of time touches all that is
human and temporal. and 1t vanishes
away. To the older people of today, the
world in which we live must seem like
another world. In many respects it is
another world. We live in world that
is always changing. The old weep over
changes. and the young rejoice. But
age and youth alike have to learn the
abiding truth that our strength and
hope are not in the material, the things
temporal, but in the spiritual, the things
eternal. We should learn to measure
by this truth-The Old and the New.

Postage Stamps
OF AFRICA.

q ONE of the worlds most interest
ing stamps have been printed in
Africa.
~ Africa contains only three
countries which may be called
free and ndependent-Egypt. Ethiopia
and Liberia-but the nations which
own colonies elsewhere on the continent
permit stamps to be issued.
Egypt has a series Of stamps telling
something about the country. One of
these displays the pyramids and an
other the Great Sphinx. Egyptian
stamps bear printed words in English
as we'll as in the native language. That
Is true of stamps issued in several
other parts Of Africa
Native women are pictured on stamps
issued in the Belgian Congo, and a
native chief is shown on stamp put
out by French colony in Africa.
Giraffes are favorites on the colonial
stamps. Sometimes Just the head is
pictured, but We also see them in full
view grazing on the leaves of trees.
The picture of King George appears
on some Of the stamps. of British
colonies.
The lion. the zebra and other
animals are to be seen on African
stamps You might make up a small
ZOO IN your album from such stamps.
Stamps Of triangular shape have
been issued with the Cape Of Good
Hope" imprint.
South America also has produced
good stamps. Peru has stamps which
show llamas. medium size animals re-
lated to camels Llamas are used as
beasts of burden, and were so used by

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Cruelty.

The psychology Of cruelty should be
assigned a major place among the lead
ing chapters Of human history.
Perhaps you have never thought
about 1t, but there is a certain affinity
between pleasure and cruelty. If you
have ever derived satisfaction from get
ting even with somebody you know
something about the pleasure Of cruelty.
To be sure. getting even doesn't always
pay satisfactory dividends. If you are
too persistent, society eventually steps
in and puts an end to your pleasure,
known in psychological terms as sadism.
Sadism Is the mechanism Of getting
pleasure out Of inflicting pain on others
Back in the Middle Ages a certain
Archbishop of Canterbury seems to have
derived great pleasure from having
himself punished each day before break
fast Of course, the archbishop may
have thought he was getting rid of
devils. Devils were everywhere in those
days, and seem to have directed their
major activities against sanctifled per-
sonageS.
Nowadays psychologists tell us that
these devils we're merely flctions of the
imagination Some people are so con-
stituted that they actually derive pleas
ure from being punished. The mental
attitude which invites this pleasurable
cruelty is known as masochism. So
masochism is the mechanism of deriv-
ing pleasure from endurance Of pain.
