Changes Mode in
The Program al the
Munduhl School

For the past few months chang
es have been made in the pro-
gram at the Mandahl School for
Boys. Most of the boys who have
been there for four and five years
have been returned to their
homes under the supervision of
workers of the Division of Child
Welfare of the Department of So
cial Welfare. This part of the new
program should make it unneces-
sary for boys to remain at Man
dahl beyond the period when the
institution is most helpful to them
This will make it possible also for
the institution to serve a larger
number of boys per year and yet
be as successful in working with
them as it has been in the past.
On Monday December 4, 1850 a
second change in program occurred
when a group plan was put into
operation at the School. TIL e
schools population of SO boys will
be recognized into six sub-groups
Each group will be composed of
boys of various ages, sizes, per-
sonalities and degrees of prob
lens. This type Of group structure
is known as lateral balanced
grouping. The plan being put into
operation will be known as the
Mandahl Plan since it is designed
to meet only the needs of the boys

Thrifty Man Does
Not Let His Wife
Get Into Debt

DEAR MISS DIX: Do girls diff
ferentiate between thriftiness and
parsimony? Having for three
years denied myself the simplest
pleasures to gather together a
small stake to set myself up in
business, it is no small annoyance
to me to have a girl express dis
appointed wonderment that I
have not f1attered her with a SIS
corsage. If you think girls of this
caliber are an exception, you are
mistaken. There is stinginesS,
there is sensible economy and
there is wasting. A girl might do
better to marry a man who re-
fuses to fling away what little he
has than to unite herself with a
wastrel. PRUDENT.
ANSWER: Right you are, son.
I consider thrift not only one of
the most shining of all the virtues
but also that it is the foundation
stone on which character and
achievement are built.
There is a great difference be-
tween stinginess and thrift. Thrift
is spending just what you can af-
ford to spend. Stinginess is doing
without everything you can pos
sibly do without in order to save
every penny. 1t is going without
all the beauty and pleasure and
graciousness of life to put few
dollars in the bank. It is loving
money better than anything else
on earth.
The thrifty husband gives to
his wife freely, but he does not let
her run him into debt. He makes
her feel that his prudence is a
protection to her so that she shall
never come to want. The stingy
husband rows with his wife over
the bills. He makes her feel that
he begrudges her the very clothes
on her back and what she eats
He embitters her if she has to
corkscrew every nickel she gets
out of him, or if he denies her all
the little luxuries that go so far
to make life pleasant because he
would rather see an entry in
bank book than to see her happy
A woman, whether she be sweet
heart or wife. likes to feel that
what the man gives her he gives
her generously and wishes it were
more. Every woman wants a
thrifty husband, but not a misery
one.

Election ACTIVITY

Members OF the District League
Of Republican Women today were
eagerly waiting for election re-
turns following months fever
ish activity to get out election
literature in support of nearby
candidates and stumping for hus-
bands up for election.
The league president. Mrs. j.
Carroll Kearns. wife of the Repre-
sentative from Pennsylvania, was
among those absent yesterday
from the leagues monthly meet
ing at the Mayflower Hotel. Rep
resentative Kearns is up for re-
election from the 23th District of
his State.
The president was there in
spirit. however. in message which
was distributed at the meeting.
In plea for "clear courageous
thinking. translated into action, :"
Mrs. Kearns warned against
apathy, declaring that "a clear
thinking intelligent electorate has
ever been essential to the preser-
vation of a Republic. When the
people either neglect to vote. or
they surrender their vote TO the
dictates of pressure group propa-
gandists, they become unwilling
instruments of destruction to a
republican form of government.
The meeting, which was opened
by Mrs. Edmund D. Kochersper-
ger, first vice president of the
league. featured an address, by
Frank C. Waldrop, executive edi-
tor of the Times Herald.
Mr.. Waldrop assailed Demo-
cratic administration policies over
the last II years. which he said
today have "the United States en-
broiled in a hopelessly unlimited
war. Nobody with any honesty
can tell you," he said, when. how
and where it's going to stop and
what the outcome will be-"
"All this embodiment" Mr..
Waldrop continued, sis by-prod-
uct of the slipshod idea that the
Communists are bunch of do
gooders that stood for peace, pros
perity and progress. Where is the
peace; what is the nature of the
progress and where is the pros
perity?"
Mr.. Waldrop was introduced by
