Shorten the School Term The torrid weather of the last three weeks, with its attendant discomfiture to adults and children, has convinced the majority of parents that a shorter school year is desirable. They hope that the school board will see the wisdom of abandoning the policy adopted last year when the term was increased. Parents have their hands full trying to keep the children comfortable at home. In the school room, where the freedom of motion and the liberty of action must necessarily be curtailed for the sake of discipline, the lot of the child is far from being a happy one in hot weather. The physical restrictions alone are sufficient to justify the school authorities in reversing their decision. No one believes that the pupils can do much studying when the mercury hovers near 90 degrees. The energy of the child is enervated by the excessively hot weather, and its mental processes are slow. Tremendous will power must be exercised by the pupil to try to concentrate on a lesson or to follow the instruction of tha teacher. The hot weather quickly fatigues the pupil, and the progress reasonably to be expected during these weeks in reality amounts to very little. One may be pardoned for saying that the time is wasted, and no educational purpose has been served by the child's confinement in the class room. The school board will be serving the wish of the people, we believe, if it arranges the school year so that the pupils will be free in hot weather. No ground for censure can be found in the dismissal of the school term early enough to obviate sessions in hot weather.

"Must Restore Old Spirit of Individualism" The great need of the day is a restoration of individual initiative, individual sense of responsibility, the old spirit of individualism, which

made each rnan his own master, and by which he was held responsible to some accepted standards of conduct, Dr. David Kinley, president of the University of Illinois, told that institution's graduating class. He spoke on "The Quality of Americanism." Approximately 1,000 degrees were conferred at the close of the exercises. "The great work of the American people in the first 150 years of .its life as a nation," said President Kinley, "was the exploitation of our great natural resources. The influence of this frontier life on American character gave us our Americanism. "The product of these frontier conditions was an individual whose prominent characteristics were self-reliance, initiative, inventiveness, an ability to meet emergencies, and unbounded optimism. He was a free man, believing in God and himself. The test of manhood was ability to succeed under the existing conditions. "We need to turn again to the sturdy individualism of our fathers. Each American citizen

I needs a better knowledge of the physical, the in

tellectual, the moral, the economic, and the political character and needs of his country, and with and in that knowledge he needs to develop a sense of personal responsibility for the promotion of those ideals. "The restoration of individualism will mean the restoration, re-emphasis, and final establishment of Americanism of the American spirit, of the American type that developed from our frontier conditions. We need again that optimism, that self-reliance, that courage, that farsightedness, that endurance of difficulties and hardships, that spirit of initiative that led our fathers across the wilderness to the conquest of this continent individual self-reliance, individual standards of morality, of conduct, and fear of God. "The problem of the people of America in the next few years will be to continue to the restoration of that Americanism, the essence of which is individual initiative and personal responsibility. "The country is looking for men and women who will achieve success not by exploitation of one another, but by serving one another. It is looking for men and women who will have high

standards of personal conduct ; who will be clean :

morally as well as physically; who will have a fear of God, however they conceive of Him, which will be a regulatory influence in their lives. In short, the country is looking, as a democracy must always look, for leaders."

Midas, cf the storied fingers, which. turn everything to gold, in his dim vaults sadly lingers, for his spacious feet are cold. For he's with an ague shaking, some"times chilled and sometimes hot, and the rills he has been taking do not seem to hit the spot. And he'd swa;j his stacks of guilders for a night of such repo.-e as restores the toiling builders, and such delegates as those. It should seem like empty spieling, all the talk of fame and gold, to the fellow who is feeling like a sorrel three-year-old.

Dinner Stories

Dr. William E. Sadler, a specialist of Chicago, said at a recent meeting of the Federation of Women's clubs: "To live to be a hundred the first requisite is to marry young. The married ;Jways live longer than the single. "That is the chief reason why I favor a bachelor tax. Another reason is that bachelors, coddled as they are, become very conceited. "A pretty girl at a dance was waltzins? with a bachelor. " "There wi'l he many sad hearts when I marry,' the bachelor said. "'Goodness, how many are you going to marry? ;-aid the girl."

POINT CF VIEW About the biggest part of .every man's job is his point of view. This is what I mean: It is not so much what you are doing as how and why you are doing it It is not so much your job itself as hew you look at it. It is the vision you bring to bear upon your work, the imagination you focus upon it, the attitude with which you do it, that makes your particular job tedious or delightful, good or bad. a burden of duty or a joy forever. The habitat of Maeterlinck's bluebird of happiness is every man's mind rnd heart. And therein is to be found the White Stone cf Wisdom, which, according to Lore and Legend, is intended only for the Elect. For instance: A passer-by saw three workmen cutting stone where they were building a cathedral. He stopped and spoke with them. "What, are you doing?" he asked one. "I'm cutting this stone," was the answer "I work four hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon. That is my job. I'm a stone cutter."

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams. Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" HUNGERERS "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. Without deep assurance of some substantial sort, this world would be a very sad place for the hungerers. What is hunger but the proof of Heaven! What is hunger but the evidence of all possibility. Hunger for work that brings satisfaction to the mind, the body and the soul. Hunger which reaches and looks up, hunger which feels the thing it wants long in advance cf attainment. Hunger for love, for friends, for appreciation, for just rewards. The hungerers! In shops, walking along crowded streets, in homes, at desks, sitting on park benches, travelling cn trains, wandering across states and far countries Oh, the hungerers are everywhere, and all the time. But "they shall be filled!" You in sorrow encased, you in discouragement bound, you with failure tugging at your heels, where are you to go and what are you to do that satisfaction may come? The man or woman does not breathe without hunger In their heart! Justice and mercy are interlocking. The faith of the world is intermeshed with yours and mine. Our hunger shall surely be met as we in turn help to appease the hunger of others. Our own understanding must play a great deal among the stars of time and circumstance. We shall often stumble when there shall be no one to lend us a hand. But on arising, renewed strength is certain to be around!

THE ADMIRAL. According to advices from Washington, the admiral has been su;ffering frcm acute indiscretion. But. on the other hand, we suppose that those who have whiskers have a right to talk through them. And the language of the sea was never the language of diplomacy. If It were, our diplomats would be having fist fights every day. In other words, if the admiral said nnvthins he is sorry for, he is glad of It. He is not hastening his departure in ref-po-se to the department's summons u he is tailing on the next boat. We wonder why it is, soon as any

Answers to Questions

Argument What is the difference between "quantity" and "number"?

I The word "quantity" is used of that

which can be measured; "number" of that which can be counted: as "There is a large quantity of sugar on hand." "There are a large number of eggs in the basket." Old Subscriber What is the origin of "Sweet William"? The source cf the name "Sweet William" for that member of the pink family and one of the oldest garden flowers, is not known positively. Possibly wben the plant was transported from France to England the pronunciation of its name was twisted into "Willy" and thence Into "Sweet William." The fringed, velvety blossoms grow in clusters usually of one color, but occasionally a single stem contains Rowers of varied hues and markings. The wild "Sweet William" is a member of the phloi family. Two Boys Why did the government stop coining the 20-cent piece? The government discontinued the coinage of the 20-cent piece because it was so near the size of the 25-cent piece as to be passed often for a quarter.

Cause Change of Life. How Lydia ELPinkham's Vegetable Compound Got Me Up Afton, Tenn. "I want other suffering women to know what Lydia E. Pink-

ham s Vegetable Compound has done for me. During the Change of Life I was in bed for eight months and had two good doctors treating me but they did me no good. A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which I did, and in a short time I

felt better. I had all kinds of bad spells, but they all left me. Now when I feel weak and nervous I take the Vegetable Compound and it always does me good. I .wish all women would try it during the Change of Life for I know it will do them good. If you think it will induce some one to try the Vegetable Compound you may publish this letter." Mrs. A. Keller, Afton, Tennessee. Women from forty-five to fifty years of age should take warning from such symptoms as heat flashes, palpitation of the heart, smothering or fainting spells, or spots before the eyes, and prepare their system for this perfectly natural change by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's iVegetable Compound. It has helped many, many women through this trying period, just as it did Mrs-Keller. Advertisement,
