CHILDREN We sometimes overlook the fact that what the children learn in the school room* is only a part of their education. Recently the board of education in a middle western industrial city appointed a committee to make a survey of the citizenship training that was being given in the city's schools. The committee presently reported that the courses were muking a fine showing, except for the fact,, that the children were learning too much about their city outside of school hours. In class the children were taught all about the principles of government, how it is supposed to operate, what the ideals of democracy are. Then in their homes und through other contacts they were linding out that things don't always work that way. They were discovering that the practices in democratic government don't always jibe with the theories. The result was that they were concluding that their school room training was all very pretty, but that it didn't mean much. A chiW who hears his parents boasting about some evasion of the law, who sees teachers going unpaid while political gangs are leading up the public payrolls preparatory to election day, who sees criminals escaping justice, is receiving a liberal education in government that can't be found in the school -ijooks. No wonder if he 'begins to think that ideals don't mean much in government. The antidote, of course, is a different attitude on the part of his parents and citizens generally. We can put all the fine theories we like into the school books, but they won't have much effect unless we ourselves show a disposition to follow them. We can't achieve perfection over night, but if by our example we inspire I perfection over night, but if by curl example we inspire our children with a sincere feeling that political virtue is worth while we will be doing much toward obtaining it. If we demonstrate disregard for it we cannot complain if they follow our teaching rather than that of the school books. ?Daily News, Saginaw, Mich. "HeJIo, Dad," Said Prince One day an American officer was recounoitering in the war zone when lie met a pleasant-faced boy in the uniform of a British subalteron. "Who are you?" he challenged. "The Prince of Wales." the young man replied. "Sure," replied the American colonel, with an accent of derisive skepticism. "Who are you, sir?" asked the young man. "Oh, I'm the King of Kngland," said the officer. "Beut it." Some night later the two men met in a Red Cross hut and the American was visibly embarrassed on learning that the young man, really was the Prince of Wales.

As an aid to farmers in taking advantage of this opportunity, Mr. rushman has prepared Extension Circular 141, Looking Ahead in Dairying, which may be had free upon request from the publications detriment at Clemson College. Mr. Oushman states that South Carolina is now faced with a dairy :ow population of decidedly inferior quality. This, he thinks, can mean but one thing, h shortage of good cows and dairy products and substantially strong prices for both. Asserting that the dairy farmers i?f South Carolina must turn the tide in favor of better cows, Mr. Cushman concludes that in order to take advantage of both the increased sale price for good cows and the stronger price for dairy products now before uc, we must give attention to: I'sing bulls with an ancestral record of high production.

Sometimes it is hard on the pet, but it is good for the child, first, because it teaches him to love uiiiinals and birds. Second, it develops nnsellishness in the child. Third, it creates a certain sense of responsibility. Fourth, it gives to the child a conception of the meaning of ownership Many children are without pets because certain parents are too stingy or selfish to pay for ami put up with pets.?Southern Christian Advocate. man FOR GRADUATION I A pen and pencil set, guaranteed for one year, 98c, some higher.
