Richmond Children May Help Day Nnrsery "I don't want to be a Gorman," protested one little fellow at the Day Nursery the other day when the others were trying to persuade him to be the "enemy," and so the matter ended with one of the older girls deciding the issue, by having all the boys be drafted men while the girls ran automobiles taking them down to the station. The Day Nursery barn has been changed into a sand pile house, and with the stairway going up into the barn loft, and low board windows that, swing in or out, and many other irregular places for boys and girls to climb up on, or use in other ways, the building becomes a castle, or a depot, or an automobile, or a bake shop or almost anything but an ex-carriage house. From twelve to twenty children are there every day, children whose mothers are sick, or doing their bit in factories, while the men have gone to the war, and while the children are there Miss Ferguson takes their mother's place, fixing up good lunches for them at noon and on hot days taking the little table out onto a cool back porch, or even out on the lawn under the trees. But in order to make the Day Nursery still more like a home than simply a place for children of all ages to come and have a good time, Miss Ferguson is planning to have the boys and girls give a series of little plays, as the boys and girls in the schools at Winchester did when she was in charge of the public health campaign up there. And besides that, she is thinking of starting little sewing or knitting clubs for the older girls this winter. For not only little folks go to the day nursery, but school children, who go to Starr school in the morning and afternoon, and for lunch and the time after school go to the Day Nursery. The Day Nursery is one of the

best institutions we have in Rich

mond for children, but, like every other good institution, it takes money to keep it running, and so the committee who is in charge, have formed a new scheme so that all the children who wish, may help to keep money supplied. All the old iron, and rags and paper or anything which can be sold for junk, will be bought by Mr. Jaffe, who, instead of giving money to you, will give you c- coupon which tells how much money the things were worth, and then he gives the money to the Day Nursery. Three hundred and fifty-six children were taken care of at the Day Nursery last month, and since it takes large quantities of food to provide the lunches for all those children, all the money which. Richmond children donate, by selling junk for the Day Nursery fund helps out that much towards patriotic funds in caring for our own Richmond children in war times.

WEEPING TO ORDER. Danny and Bobby had been left In care of their big sister while their mother went out At bedtime they wanted to stay up for mother, but their sister relentlessly put them to bed. Danny maintained a stolid indifference, but Bobby cried lustily. Their sister listened at the foot of the stairs, hoping he would soon stop. At last Bobby quit, and the listener hoard him say: "You cry a bit Danny; I'm tired."

SAFETY FIRST. While visiting his nephew in the city, Uncle Sam Shimmerpleate stopped in front of a motion-picture billboard on which were shown pictures of lions, tigers, and other wild animals. "Great guns, ITenry," he said to his nephew, "I'm mighty glad I leave town Saturday afternoon." "Why are you so anxious to get away" asked the nephew. Pointing to the billboard, Uncle Sam read aloud the words: "To be released Saturday night"

AN HER Old SACRIFICE.

History cf the War Will Be Followed Each Day in Wayne County Schools Studying the war will be ono of the main topics U3ed in all the schools of Wayne county this winter. All this past week the teachers of the county have come together at the Chautauqua to talk over the problems of the coming winter and plan out how they are going to manage their schools. Men from out of the city have come to give the teachers new ideas for teaching the boys and girls the most interesting ways of studying the common subjects they are supposed to know, and especially new ways of making boys and girls realize that this great fight for democracy, which the boys and girls over in France are making, is as important for girls and boys in America to understand and help in, as for soldiers. In one lecture given the teachers the principal of the high school in this city urged ail the teacher to have a war map In each room, and to appoint boys and girls each day to advance the battle line according to the newspaper dispatches. Also he urged the teachers to keep good newspapers or magazines where the boys and grils could read them at all times, and teach American children how to understand the important news items as they come out each day. Mr. Adrain. of California, who was one of the men to speak to the teachers, told of many ways in which the truth about the heroism of English soldiers even in the Revolutionary war never has been brought out, and that there has been a great deal of "historical camouflage" about the ride of Paul Revere, the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Lexington, the Boston Massacre and other stirring events which covers the real courage and manliness of our foes as they were then. . "Don't hate people, and don't

hate our former enemies," pleaded Mr. Adrain, "but rather hate taxation without representation, the principles of human wrongs which caused the war." And so this winter the teachers will strive more to make the American boys and girls understand the right and wrong in the conflict of the nations rather than to make the children hate any people. "And don't grow tired of the war," sand Mr. Bentley. "The soldiers who are fighting day after day do not grow tired and stop. Should we who are studying at home benefited by what they are willing to give their lives for, grow tired of following the progress they are makiDg in the fight for us, and of understanding the truth as it is being worked out?"

Wayne County Schools Begin Monday Morning Wayne county and town schools will begin Monday morning for their winter's work; while city schools begin one week later, September9. Quite a few of the schools do not have their teachers as yet, said Mr. Charles O. Williams, who is the county superintendent, and since so many men have left for the army, the teachers who usually have the

music, manual training and domestic cience may be used to 1111 in the regular work. In high schools where there are not enough teachers, only a portion of the work will be carried until the full supply of instructors can be supplied; in grade schools, a few pupils may have to miss their work for a portion of the time.
