COMMUNITY DAY IN THE
COUNTRY
To make 1924-25 richer in educa
tional opportunities, many teachers
meeting with pupils and parents.
The first day of school is looked
forward to by country children. They
have misse^ their schoolmates.
On the other hand, their mothers
and fathers-find the farm house and
field quite different without the
bright youthful faces and wjlling
hands. Busy parents find themselves
wondering about the new teacher and
“what Susan and Henry are doing
now. tl
It takes time and courage for the
teacher to walk to the different
homes. It often demands more time
and effort than is at her disposal for
the mother to come to school.
In order that mutual acquaintance
may strengthen the bonds of sym
pathy and understanding, teachers
do well to arrange for, an autumn
community day. j
ISpg 1 The children play some of the new
games the teacher has taught them.
The teacher herself meets every
mother personally; thus she has an
opportunity to praise John’s moth
er for having the much needed re
medial work done on his teeth; she
•may tactifully' mention to Lucy’s
rying mother the the necessity nurse’s for reeommenda- her car- j j
out '
tion regarding glasses. After the j
lunch has been eaten, there is
quiet ' time when the teacher 'Way
talk to the assembled group, asking
their co-operation for American ed
ueation week and emphasizing the .
necessity of every pupil’s coming to .
school every day the school is in j
(session. j
.Tu»t as the visit of a rural
visor counts for far more if made ,
during the first or second month
than if delayed until (October’s the seventh, bright s<; j
a community day in '
blue weather has more far reaching
results than such a.day delayed
til spring. ;
In fact, if the i- . ool year is to
be a h«l'py a«d profitable one, and j
the spring ji lay day a real success,
it will often be because an autumn
get together day paved the way.' j

PROSPER TTY CON DITION S
v ASSURED
^
The rebuilding of Europe goes
slowly forward.
Miraele! do not happen in the
economic world and processes of re
construction go slower than those
of destruction.
Ever since the national Conventions
were held there has been a steady
advance toward normal prosperity,
in the great fields of farming, build
ing and production in mine and fac
tory.
The slew uphill climb to pre-war
prosperity, not the hectic inflation
standards of war times, is constant
in our country, and is spreading to
Europe.
The movement is on to stay.
Never has a presidential election
year felt so little disturbance as
1924.
All must admit that time tried
business principles are sounder than
untried political theories.
MAKE IT “FIRE PREVENTION
YEAR.”
Editors of this country are coming
to understand that Fire Prevention
Week, which has become an annual
event* is essentially a matter of pub
lic welfare. By their comment they
La Ji m.
have shown that they are squarely
behind this movement.
During fire prevention week wide
publicity is given to appalling losses
of life which averages more than
1250 fatalities a month Unit
ed States and vAich to startling average
fire wastage last year was a
little short of $1,400,000 worth of
property every day, not to mention
interruption of business and many
other attendant fils.
Fire prevention should become a
daily practice and Fire Prevention
Week should, as time goes by, be
used as a period for recording the
activities of various communities
which continue the old wasteful
practice , of killing their people and
burning their property through fire
careleisness.
Let the lessons taught during Fire
Prevention Week emphasize the
cessity for fire carefulness every
in the year.
; Notwithstanding the fact that the
nineteenth amendment to the con
stitution places men and women on
a footing of political equailty, the
supreme court of Idahi. has ruled
that women are not eligible to serve
as jurors in that state. Most women
will not protest against the decision.
An eastern investigator asserts
that 80 per cent of the couples who
attend movies do so because they
have no parlors and the parks are
to cold. A majority of these can’t
tell the name of the picture, and a
good many of them are not sure
whether there was one.
Because the courts have decided
that pedestrians have rights on high
ways and street crossings, he will
be a daring i n di v idual who und er
takes to “stand” on his rights—
unless he carries a substantial in
surance policy.
We insist on foreigners becoming
posted on American Jaw, but when
eminent lawyers disagree one won
ders how the foreigners may con
strue our constitution.
Minnepolis and St. Paul are still
at it. Something must be done
about those two towns, This one
comes from St. Paul.
A Minneapolis man drifted into a
sister city, looked supercijiously at
a fruiter’s display, picked up a big
watermelon and asked with a sneer:
Is this the largest apple you
have in St. Poul?”
‘i Hah! ff bellowed the ^proprietor,
Put that grape down!”
On the completion 'of the new
golf course the biggest man of the
suburb, physically and financially,
was invited to perform the opening
ceremony.
As he had never played gold, he
was given a deep faced niblick for
initial drive,
LuStHy he swiped at the ball", with
the only effect that it was driven to
ward China, and a yard of turf was
roiled up like a carpet. But the big
mair kept his nerve as he surveyed
the gaping greensward.

Mr. Swank, “and when she came

her:

“‘You bet,’ said the heiress, ‘and
