WASHINGTON COMMENT.
"Reduce the overhead," is a sound
maxim for increasing the profits of
any business. One way to reduce the
overhead is to use the plant or office
sixteen hours a day instead of eight,
or ten hours a day instead of five.
And if the "plant" happens to be a
* fftblic school, the rule no less holds
* good.
The community with good school
buildings whicn does not utilize them
cnmp cood Duroose outside of the
normal five hours of school, five days
a week, is not making as much profit
on its investment in those schools as
might be had.
Many communities use their schools
for Americanization purposes in the
evenings. There are thousands of
foreigners in this country who are
eager to be of, as well as in, the land
of their adoption. They hunger for
American ideas to transform that
hunger into one for American ideals
is as fine a work as can be done in
* a school. |
It costs little; but if it cost much,
it would still be worth it. To take
thoes of alien birth who know nothing
of the Stars and Stripes save
that they form the flag of America,
and teach them that for which it
stands?justice, toleration, religious
freedom, liberty, safety of person and
property, decency, chivalry to the
weak; to instruct them in the fundamentals
of American history, let them
learn of Washington and Lincoln as
something else than names; give
them a chance to go out in our strenuous
economic life fitted to cope with
Americans on a basis of mutual
Americanism; t|hat is to reduce the
overhead on the schools on one hand,
and pay great dividends to the state
on the other.
Not all foreigners here want to
be Americanized. But of those who
do, a large number know not which
way to turn. The school building,
otherwise idle in afternoon and evening.
the loyal and enthusiastic Amer- j
ican citizen to whom patriotism means
something else than a cheer when the
flag goes by, acting as instructor,
these are- the means to which he
should be able to turn.
In the presence of .a throng of Masons,
who filled the lodge room of
Alexandria-Washington Lodge, No.
22, of Alexandria, Va., the worship
ful master and oincers 01 ucuiKc
. Washington Lodge, No. 9, of St.
Louis, conferred the Master Mason's
degree upon a member of their lodge.
Thirty members of George Washington
Lodge came to Alexandria for
the purpose, and were the guests o
the Alexandrians for a day, after
which they returned home.
The world needs sentiment Living
as we do a life of hard, practical
reality, with the daily chase for the
daily meal the outstanding need c
us all, we need those institutions
which cherish and reserve sentiment.
And here is sentiment at its purest
and best. When thirty men take ;
long journey for the sake of a revered
name; when a lodg4 in St. Louis
will travel to Alexandria, because th<
name of their lodge is George Wash^
ington, ana ueorge vrnsuiugwuAlexandria
Lodge, they have moved,
spiritually, a far greater distance,
than actually, in the flesh. It is a
fair example of the power of the
Masonic Order over men's hearts; it
is because masonry has kept alive
the sentiment and the beauty of an
idea, rather than of a practical reality,
that it has lived and grown and
thrived.
The Masonic Order is not eleemosynary
in character, though it practices
charity; it is no mutual benefit
organization, although it is mutuali
ly beneficial to its members; it is
not a life assurance organization; it
offers little if any material, practical
assets to its membership. That
it is of the greatest use to its members,
and a high t influence for good
in all communities where Freemasons
are (a fact which can not well be
disputed), comes from its hold upon
the hearts and minds of men; as in
this instance of its power to make
men take a long journey, in reverence
and love for the traditions which
cluster about the First President of
the Union.
o
Green Feed for Laying Hens.
The hen likes to have a sufficient
amount of green succulence during
the winter months. It is essential
for health and it is also essential for
egg production. Green feed acts as
a tonjc and also as a laxative, keeping
the birds in the best of condition.
How are we going to supply this
essential form of feed during the
winter months? One of the most
satisfactory methods is in the form
of sprouted oats. Other good forms
of green feed are kale, rape mangel
beets.
The green feed is generally fed
during the middle of the day and is
best fed in open hoppers so that the
-' floors "will not become soiled and
damped.
