ganda in the teaching and writing of history
and the social sciences in this country, has
written book devoted to the work of various
citizens organizations in influencing the
teaching of citizenship in our schools, "Citi-
zens' Organizations and the Civic Training of
Youth"
She covers a large range and variety of
groups from the Daughters of the American
Revolution to the Free Masons, Knights of
Columbus, the Boy Scouts, the public utilities
and the w. c. T. u.
Parents who have any interest in the opin-
ions which their children will develop upon
public affairs should read this volume with
prayerfuI attention.
1t seems that the only thing which thus far
has saved our boys and girls has been the
conflicting ideals and aims of the several or
CARNATIONS which desire to shape the minds
of American youth. This has produced a GER
tain cancellation of vicousness in the pro-
grams of intellectual perversion.
Roy F. Bergengren INDUCES in volume OF
benign propaganda of his own in 1--WE, The
People" Starting with certain definite con-
victions as to what America ought to be, he
seeks confirmation in the doctrines of the
founders from Washington to Lincoln and
then surveys our present scene to show us
how far we are from realizing these original
ideals.
The fact that Mr.. Bergengren is man of
enlightenment and integrity makes his partic-
ular exercise in historical propaganda gener-
ally beneficial enterprise. but it represents
method open to much danger in the hands of
one with less lovely ak to grind.
The Chicago Association for Child Study
has published a number of papers delivered at
its meeting in March, 1882, devoted to devel-
oping intelligent attitudes in children. It is a
splendid summary of the efforts being made
to counteract vicious propaganda in our educa-
tional. system.
Miss Frances ThereSe Russell analyses one
of the most noble and benevolent types of prop
uganda in the intellectual history of man;
namely, the propaganda for a better day in
human society which has been embodied in
the various utopias from Plato to H. G. Wells
and Bertrand Russell in her Touring Utopia"
These writer's have been the most effective OPP
ponents of those propagandists who have
sought to preserve things as they are, but who
actually have brought the deluge upon success
sive generations of men.
DR.. Ebba Dahln has made an important
contribution to neglected phase of war prop
uganda and public policy during the war in
French and German Public opinion on De-
clared War Aims" She reveals one of the
major tragedies of all history the triumph of
moderate and pacific opinion in 1917 which
later was overthrown by Lloyd Georges knock
out blow policy, the entry of the United States
into the World war, and the optimism of the
German extremists with respect to the posi-
bilities of the submarine warfare and the land
attack on Paris.
Had the moderates succeeded, the suisse
quent history of mankind would have been far
different and much happier.

Your Houses" and I still recall with
pleasure the Daniel Boone episode
in Take a Chance" But neither of
these could have been the drama
which sent DR.. FoSdick's singularlv
sensitive spectator shuddering into
the night.
All my life have been puzzled as
to the nature of those persons who
take either literature or the drama
with so much intensity. Mr.. Sum
mer is again on the warpath, seek
ing the scalps of two novels which
seem to him salacious. I have read
neither, and yet I know that Mr..
Sumner must be wrong.
He always has been from nv roint
of view, and so it seems unlikely
that he should change now Just to
please me.
Indeed. so little do I trust the
Judgment of this crusader that I
have not, opened either of the books
Which he would ban on the ground
OF gross immortality. Both lie on
my desk, neglected and unread.
I am not one who finds it fun to
be fooled. Mr.. Sumner has cried
out, "Sexl Sex!" many times too
often. When I was younger and
more impressionable was by way
of being a Sumner client. That is
when the news came out that he
was on the rampage. I eagerly
would jot down the titles which had
aroused his ire.
And then I would seek out these
books in the hope of finding some
thing rather more lively than litera-
ture generally affords.

7 WAS talking to the matron Of
l. home for delinquent girls Chow
I hate that title). For ne reason
at all, she surprised me by her vi
vacity, her good humor, and sort
of underestimate joyousness that
somehow does not associate with
such institutions.
Most astonishing of all, she as
sured me that she couldn't keep
enough babies on hand to supply
the demand-which is another in
tereSting angle on an important So
cial problem. The minute one ar
rived, she said, it literally was COB
bled up by expectant foster par
ents, who conducted themselves a
good deal like the early bird await
ing his worm.
All of which gives us a vivid
sketch of another side of life that
is well worth looking at. In my
minds eye could see the women
of many different ages and classes
and from many different kinds of
homes-going toward that house to
which downcast girls had sought
shelter in order to bring forth their
babies in secret and coming away.

The mythical phoenix rose from its own

American National bank now is prepared to
emerge from the wreckage of the bank holiday
as one Of the strongest institutions in the
country.
This is singing rebuke to idle and vicious
people, who, through ignorance and down.
wright mischievousness, have busted them
selves with peddling rlmors about the bank.
Under the proposed reorganization plan,
the republic itself, through the Reconstruct
ton Finance corporation, is the chief stock
holder Of the new institution, which is to bear
the name American National Bank"
If any one still harbors foolish notions
about its soandness, this should answer them.
The government never could permit one penny
of assets of its own bank to become impaired
any more than it could afford to default on its
Liberty bonds.
Fifty per cent of the depositors' money,
which has been tied up for weeks, will become
available if the plan is approved. This will be
as salutary to Indiana business as a blood

out more cash than they actually need

Her evenings inexorably were
devoted to Julian and to bridge.
Clark knew that. He hated it.
He never said so. Nor did
Julian speak of Clark during
that long, bright-blue, bewilder.
ing June.
Patricia realized that she was
drifting with the tide and
could not so drift. Something
must break. Something would
happen to destroy the terrifying
sweetness Of these days. What
she had feared and expected
happened one night after her
guests and Julian's-their vic
TINS, Patricia called them-had
departed. Julian spoke to her
as she turned to leave.
He said with sudden savagery.

and so unexpected that for a

bewildered. She merely looked
at Julian. He sat in a red

ingly, chiIdishly, isn't that
enough?"
Yes. he replied and hid his
gnawing discomfort, hid it even
from himself.
Patricia smiled. Clark looked
at her. He looked at her and
trusted her. Martha's Suspi-
cionS, hints and broad sugges-
tions were nothing now. This
lovely, clear-eyed girl was
straight.
They parted that night, as
less than lovers and more than
friends. They parted that night,
as Patricia was to tell herself
so often, with nothing settled.
Nothing Settled
Days came and went, strange
and thrilling days. but days
with nothing settled. Patricia
grew used to the ring Of the

not arrive. In more honest mo-

ate bread made out Of parsnips
and got thin. Then they said
that bread made out Of pars-
nipS was the most fattenlng
food in the world and that
bread made out Of unwoven
flax was the best. So I went
in for that. At present I am
eating bread made Of burnt

that I am just loading my

eat to keep in training. Some
thing is wrong, at any rate.
This, however. is only one
phase Of Initiation, and not the
one that the Treasury Depart

that will restore prohibition.

later, some way would be

it be worth 81 cents or a

point where I could find a
mate for it and perhaps get
