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

this 1 per cent of college graduates

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.
