How shall thy children's education be /illumed? ' This question faces moat of us, for t in to the everlasting credit of the American father that no matter how lowly his own station; no matter how meager his own incomes -no matter lww limited were his o\ui opportunities of education; he aspire* above all else to give his own children' an I education, and its resulting wider range of opportunities. One fallacy of which most of us will be found guilty is that of awaiting the arrival of the emergency before attempting its solution. As a result thousands of deserving children of well-meaning though poor parents have been forced, through no fault of their own, to miss the opportunities of a life time. It is far more important, and infinitely easier, to foresee the difficulty i and provide for its solution years in advance. A fund systematically laid aside in small easy installments or at convenient intervals in advance will build the foundation for the child ? education with a minimum of privation and difficulty. There are few parents of high ambitions who are so obligated as to be unable to lay aside a few dollars each month 'against the child's future. There are many methods of thrift that will build a fund for the child's education. Perhaps the most notable and successful method, however though perhaps not the best known? is the building und loan method. Its virtue lies in its systematic payments in small sums, regular or irregular, easily adaptable to the average small income; and to its compelling features that encourages faithful saving regardless of the thousands of tempting luxuries on every hand. Building and Joan associations, so rapidly growing and increasing in number throughout America, have long since been accepted and praised for their remarkaible service in lending on the building of homes. The thrift side of the building and loan service, however, needs introduction to the public. The public could not accept und stimulate a more worthy cause than that which builds the very foundation of our prosperity and success. Building and loan associations not only have played a very active part in fostering and encouraging the most sacred of American institutions?the home?but they go much further. They point the way, offer the means and methods, und persistently inculcate the importance of the systematic care of the home and its family through the building of the estate. blow comes the climax of its service offering the child of the home the ! widest opportunities of life through! education. All honor to the building and loan. It deserves every word of praise. It is a friend, supporter and defender of the family and home. things worth knowing Miscellaneous Items of Interest (lathered From .Many Sources The "scrippenkirche" of Berlin is, its name implies, literally a t hun h of the rolls.

Typographic Krror When you've worked your very hardest to read all your proofs with care, Till^ou're sure there's not an error or a bonehoad anywhere, And you really feel quite chesty and disposed to pat your beau, As you say, "She may be empty, but I'll tell the world she's* clean." Hut when the sheet is printed and is out upon the mail, On its way to the subscribers, I Kave never seen it fail? In the center of the front page, in a Most conspicuous place, Some typographic' error fairly kicks you in the face. For the typographic error is a slip pery thing and sly, You can hunt till you are dizzy but it somehow will get by, Till the forms are off the presses it i? strange how still it keeps, It shrinks down into the corner and it never stirs or peeps, That typographic error is too small for human eyes. Till the ink is on the paper, when it grows to mountain size And you see that blastad error, far as you could throw a dog, Looming up in all its splendor, like a lighthouse in a fog. That glaring blunder juts out like an ulcerated tooth, Where it dodged the eagle vision of the napping comma sleuth, It is sure too late to mend it, but it fills your soul with rage, As you see it swelling lordly in the middle of the page, The boss, he stares with horror, then he grabs his hair and groans, The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and moanp? The remainder of the issue may bo clean as clean can be, But that typographic error is the only thing they see. It was down among the six-point till the copy all was read, When it shifted into blackface or a t.wo-inch banner head? Then when the sheet was printed it jumped out and hollered, "Boo! You never saw me, did you? This is sure a horse on you." Or another choice position is the middle of a name, In a classy social write-up sent by some hard-boiled dame, Right there in the cognomen .of some blooming social rose, * That typographic error thumbs a contumelious nose.
