Closing the Schools Earlier 1 Most parents will commend the action of the city school board in closing the school term early in June instead of late in that month, as happened this year. The hot weather of the last four weeks is exceptional for this section of the country, but nevertheless this is not the important factor in determining the length of the school year. After months of confinement in the classroom, children become restless when June approaches. They want to get out into the open, forget the routine of school work, and seek recreation and amusement. It matters little if the weather is very hot, or moderately hot. The child wants physical freedom. Parents, in some instances, found that their children were becoming nervous and that their physical condition was being impaired by study and preparation of their lessons. Fatigue is usually regarded as an' indication of the necessity of rest and relief. With the closing of the school term two weeks earlier, the chances are ten to one that the children will learn just as much as if they attended ten more class sessions in the year. A little extra effort earlier in the year will enable the. teachers to cover the assigned work for the year, and the children will quit school with as much training as if they had been confined two weeks more. The task of the school board in administering the educational system of the city is not a light one, and the objections of parents to a long school term was not accepted until the board had thoroughly weighed the matter. There is a marked tendency among educators to lengthen the school year, partly to increase the efficiency of schooling and also to comply with a request of some parents who believe that the discipline of

the school room is preferable to weeks of idleness in which the child is removed from the discipline of the school room. Between these alternatives, the board chose to reduce the term. We believe it acted wisely. In some sections of the country, where climatic conditions are different, a long school term. is in order. But the weather in this part of the country, as a rule, is a strong argument against a protracted session.

Winners in the Poster Contest The two major prizes in the poster contest conducted by the Lake Division of the American Red Cross society, which were won by Charles Surendorf and Robert Crowall, is a commendation of the excellence of our school system, and again demonstrates that the detractors of our city and the merciless critics of our institutions are indulging in vapid mouthings when they insinuate that our municipality has little to recommend it to the world. The two young men won the prizes in competition with pupils in five states of the Middle West that have excellent school systems. It was an open contest, and the awards were made on the merits of their productions. There was no hidden pull or influence to sway the judges. The Richmond boys won the prizes because their work was superior to that of the other competitors. The fact that the first and second prizes were awarded to pupils of our schools, competing with those of five other states, intensifies the sweeping nature of the victory and augments the compliment paid to our school system, and particularly to the art department where the winners received their training. This is a victory in which the whole city takes

a pardonable amount of pride, for Richmond has an enviable reputation as an art center, irrespective of the carping and faultfinding proclivities of some persons who can see nothing good in our citizens. The city will receive flattering notice through the victory of the two boys. Wherever the posters are exhibited in regional conferences, their names will be linked with their home city and its school system. They will advertise the city in an excellent manner.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" PLAYING BY RULE I have noticed that the champions in almost every line of endeavor have a way of their own by which they have risen to eminence. Those who stick to the rules soon loss themselves in the rule. The rule itself must be only a skeleton but the skeleton it must be. He who achieves, rides rules makes them his servants rather than his masters. And so he gets on and does well. People say that he is HE. And the man himself knows in his heart that he is unordinarily and somewhat original. Playing strictly by rule brings on callousness and, in the end, mediocrity. Gather every experience to your aid, every rule, every pointed suggestion then set your eyes upon the biggest opportunity and get the thing done. The fine advantags of life are not hidden under rules and regulations, but in a thinking and fearless mind, ready to work, risk and be beaten if necessary but never to shirk the untried. Playing by rule is restrictive. It is punitive too. Napoleon used to say that God was always on the side of the heaviest artillery. But I rather imagine that you will find Him oftenest on the side o the most courageous. And it takes great courage to shove a rule by the boards, and beat a path with an idea. But that is the method whereby character of a high degree is formed. Whoever played initiative by rule? "No definite precept," says Stevenson, "can be more than an illustration, though its truth were resplendent like the sun, and it was announced from heaven by the voice of God." Rules? They are bred from the acts of those who follow them only to get away from them!

Answers to Questions

United States loaned the Allies during

the war. Under authority granted by congress to extend $10,000,000,000 in credits to the allied nations, the United States treasury made loans amounting to $9,659,834,649, according to an official statement made by Secretary of the Treasury Houston on March 10, 1920. With the interest on loans, computed at 5 per cent, the total due the United States yearly is $470,000,000. The chief debtors are Great Britain, $4,277,000,000; France, $3,047,974,777; Italy, $1,621,333,986. Belgium's debt was at one time $343 -445,000, and Russia is charged with $187,729,750. Rumania, Serbia, Cuba, Greece and Czechoslovakia and Liberia are the other countries listed on the books of the treasury department at Washington. . ARGUMENT To settle a discussion please tell me if there are national legal holidays. I claim the Labor Day was established by congress. There are no national legal holidays.

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

DRAWING THE LINE Oh, every mortal ailment has had its grip on me, and I've known what a pail meant when taking boneset tea. In Troy I had lumbago, in Kansas I had mumps, and here in San Diego neuralgia bumps the bumps. And when in old Nebraska my liver wasn't right, and up in Athabasca my bunions were a sight. I've traveled here and yonder, that comfort I might seize, but everywhere I wander I have some new disease. In Maine I had the shingles, in Illinois the croup, ana when I wrote my jingles they were not worth a whoop. And all throughout the nation the surgeons sought my door, and said, "An operation wiil

The surgeons still are hewing for every known disease and o'er the land they're strewing the sawed-off heads and knees; they boost their carving riot, and oft I wonder why, for invalids who try it are pretty sure to die.
