MOUNT ZiON NEWS. We are striving to make the honor ro- at Mt. Zion mean something. Any child whbse name appears on the roll has something of which to be really proud. Here is the standard he must meure up to: His deportment muat not be less than 90; he must have a general average in all his studies (-f 90, with not less than 85 on any one svbject; and his attendance must be perfect. This ecord entitles him Lo be classed "distinguis'Led." If his de partment is not less than 90, his at twdance perfe, and his general av erage on all studies 95 with not less tan 90 on any one subject he is '%ighly distinguished." May we not ask the parents to an the roll herewith presented. The ldren who have attained the high standard set for them have a right to the congratulations and interest of their parents. The first grade, of course, can not be graded by percentage, but a six year old child who comes to school e time every day for a month is "carrying on." There were fifteen of them this month! Of all the people who attend Mt. Zion or any other school, the mostiintereiting are the beginnerst Have you evtr stood in a school room and heard tweoty,.-nvc or thirty six-year olds sing? If you 'have not, you've missed something -*orth while. There is something rwrong with any adult whose pulses de not quicken in such a presence. -What may not be wrapped up in those little bodies? A great singer, a sculptor, a poet, a statesman, a sur gedn in the making! Who knows ? He who stands in the presence of lit tle children stands in the presence of the future.

HUMOROUS DESCRIPTiON Of THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION From picking the stuffing out of a wild turkey to kicking the stuffing out of a wild football player, Thanks giving day observance has undergone a decided change, even within the ken of the present writer, who, at that, is quite old enough to gain a permanent home among the mummies at the Me tropolitan Museum of Art, Aoy K. Moulton writes in the New York Eve ning Mail. There were days away back in Puritan times when people had a lot to be thankful for and en ough sense to be thankful for it. It is still true that a portion of our great metropolitan population find time to render thanks in the old-fash ioned style, but the rah-rah Thanks giving has been with us some twenty years now, and it seems to be gaining momentum. In the old days they used to leave a platter strewn with the bones of wild turkey, and now it is the general custom to leave the gridiron strewn with arms, legs, ears and other more or less important impediments. The history of a Thanksgiving day used to be set down by the church clerk, and now it is set down in jazz by the sporting writer, all of which goes to show that civilization is mov ing, though we can't always decide which way. Ye Olde Tyme Thanksgiving. "Know ye all men by thefe prefentf: "That I, Makepeace Wharburton, governor de nominate Thurfday, ye twenty-fixth of November, to be a day of thankfgiving and a day of prayer in remembrance of the great bleffings we have received during the paft year. All and fundry of the pop ulation are ordered to attend fervice and profoundly render thankf for peace and profperity or pay penalty on the pillory, the ducking ftool or the ftocks. "Makepeace Wharburton. "Governor." Those were the days of real Thanks givings. Peleg Prouty did not have to go to a butcher shop and barter his soul, his house and lot and his Ford for a turkey. He kissed his wife, Prudence, and the kids good-by for maybe the last time, and set forth for a wild turkey. He carried over his shoulder an 85-pound blunderbuss with a sprinkler attachment on the muzzle which would scatter shot over a fair-sized township and would kick Peleg for a goal when it went off. If the Indians got a bead on him first it was good-night turkey, and if he got a bead on them first the sprinkler attachment enabled him to put the raspberry on eight or ten of them at once. If Peleg got home all right with the wild turkey they had a Thanksgiving if he did not they had a funeral. The family would go to church in he morning and arrive there with sev ral arrows sticking through their lothes and hats, and after good old Elde udnutt had preached for four ours and a half and finally stopped, he congregation had something to be thankful for. When the feast was ready, Peleg, hs wife, Prudence and the children, Steadfast, Charity, Prosper, Faith, romwell and Whetstone, seated hemselves about the table, the room ould suddlenly fill with smoke for he reason that there would be an nd a sitting on the chimney top try nr: to smoke them out and glum the :rkev and Peleg's flogan of firewat Indians Took Part Paleg would nonchalantly wander r:: t-> the fireplace and throw a hr. El of gunpowder into it and the indian ':ould make a dash for the rn znear by, angrily pursued by his xan:ng breechclout. Peleg wvould return to the feast and sy, "For what we are about to re ~eive let us be truly thankful." And he received it quickly. A noble red man poked his arm through the win dow and firmly nicked Peleg on the ban with a tommyhawk. Being a hard-headed Puritan, Peleg would go on with his dinner after throwing the tommyhawk over his shoulder and catching Mr. Shinnecock just below RADIO RALJ the Adam's apple. The afternoon was given over to meditation and reflection. Celebration of Today. But nowadays they gather in some jazz restaurant and the host says: "For what we haven't had during the past year under the Volstead act, let us be-," well, anyhow, something like that. The waiter does not reach through the window and tap him with .a tommyhawk, but he hits him for a $56.75 check and a $10. tip. - And instead of spending the after noon in meditation and prayer, as Peleg did, his gi -x"t-great-great-great great-grandson sits in a grandstdn with 15,000 other heretics and they yell: "Freshwaters' got the ball!" "Freshwater, Freshwater, zip, boom bah! Freshwater, Freshwater, rah,, rah, rah"' "Go it, Cornsilki Now, boys, the "Go it, Cornsilk! Now boys, the Cornsilk locomotive: "Rah-rah-rah-rah-rah-rah-Corn silk, Cornsilk-hip, hip, hip, hip, hip, horrah!" And after the game Peleg's descen dant accompanies a young flapper to a hotel for dinner, where he gets a piece of turkey through which he can read the name of the cafe and make out. its coat-of-arms in the center of the plate and calls it a feed. The only folks funnier than the old ones are the new ones. EDUCATION AND WEALTH Does education pay ? Assuredly! It pays its votaries in character, health, culture, preparation for vocations, and all that goes to make up a well-rounded life. It fits us to become law-abiding and God fearing citizens of the great Repubiic. Yes; education pays. But let us consider, apart from its idealistic trend, whether education pays in dolars and cents. Tlie fact is self-evident that an educated nation is a more productive one, commercial ly and industrially. The money value of an education is being emphasized in the insistent demand for specialized and techinal training for specific vo cations. The more education is dif fused, the more specialized and tech I nical it becomes, the more its costs increase; but the national income in creases with greater rapidity as a re sultant. Some general evidences that educa tion pays are found in the facts that in 1909 we spent, in round numbers $401,398,000 for public education. The national income the same year was 28.8 billion dollars. In 1919 we spent $895,000,000, and the national income was 66 billion dollars. The increase of expenditures for education of 122.9 per cent was accompanied by an in crease in national income of 129.16 per cent. Education costs consumed. a smaller percentage of the national income in 1919 than in 1909, and for an increased expenditures of $495, 000,000 there was an increase in na-i tional income of approximately 47.2 billions of dollars. Increasedl ability to produce wealth results from education because of. the three factors in the production of material wealth (natural resources, native ability of people, and educa tion). Education is the Qnly factor which is widely variable c;- susceptible of improvement. Naturial resource may be wasted but not increasea. Native ability is a practical constant, changing imperceptibly from genera tion to generation. Education may effect striking differences in a short period. Education Producing Wealth for the Individual It is coming more and more to be the case that a man's chances in life are poor indeedl without the formal training given in our educational in stitutios. 1. According to a study of Dr. Charles Thwing of the 100 wealthiest men in the United States, considered with reference to the total population, there were 277 times as many college bred men as there were noncollege bred men. 2. Less than 1 per cent of Ameri can men are college graduates, yet AND HIS F _E iY, o$ MY -wHAT SLmtLE BROTrER I ,. -|cRAVES iMNOWLEDWE ! TRE -WS ToDAY, RO this 1 per cent of college graduates furnishes 55 per cent of our Presi dts; 36 per cent of our Congress men; 47 per cent of our Vice Presi dents; 62 per cent of the Secretaries of State; 50 per cent of the Secr etaries of th Lreasury; 67 per cent of Attorneys General; and 69 per cent of the Justices of the Supreme Court. In no group named in the foregoing is the annual salary less than seven times the average for th United States. 3. Mr. James M. Dodge, a former president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, calculated the financial value of different grades of education by comparing the earning capacities of common laborers, shop apprentice trained men, trade-school graduates, and technical-school grad uates. The money value was taken to be that sum which at 5 per cent interest would yield an income equal to the sum being received as a salary. He found the education of the com mon laborer worth $10,200; that of the shop apprentice $15, 0; that of the trade-school graduate $25,000; and that of the technical-school grad uate $43,000.
