Both trivolous and solemn.

Will tickle youngsters far and wide
To have this bard forget it.

It might surprise Will Hays and other luminaries in the cinema con-

those present neglect to get stewed, pickled or piftlicated. Sometimes we
suspect the tottering tintypes regard Fatty Arbuckle as a social mentor,
rather than the Book of Etiquette. or the court of St. James.

Vacation, frinstance, is a far more entrancing subject, particularly to
enthusiastic youngsters just starting one of long duration. Even their
elders, who find the fishing fulled to come up to advance notices, are likely
to get their money's worth. and anyona familiar with resort prices will
concede that is a great deal.
The lingering frigidity of this lain spring reminds us that we slivered
while fishing on a Missouri lake one Fourth of July, although wearng a
sweater and raincoat in addition to the ordinary habiliments of sport afloat.
That summer there wasn't any to speak of, and there was renewed talk
about a return engagement of the glacial period, but the fishing was s0od
all season, and those who couldn't go to Colorado or polnts west didn’t feel
as downtrodden as usual. Furtfermore, corn made a pretty good crop,
thus refuting the theory that sultry nights are essential to the growth of
that far-flung cereal.

Purchasers of Liquor
QOOTLEGGERS are not as numerous as I heir patrons. It
D would appear easier to round up the illicit liquor mer-
chants than to capture the greater number who buy their
wares. To the latter liquor is somewhat incidental, and
the finger of suspicion less likely to point in their direc-
tion than at the man who sold it. The announcement that
federal prohibition authorities are going after the pur-
chasers of liquor will lead many to believe they are be-
ginning the solution of their problem at the wrong end.
But there would be no bootleggers without patronage.
The man who sells it is likely to be a more calloused crimi-
nal than those who constitute his "trade.” Therefore this
gesture, even though it results in a few arrests of purchas-
ers, may reduce the number. Drink is not so dear to many
that they are willing to go to jail for it.

dart and dive back and forth just in front of that house, chattering excit-
edly and angrily. Skimmer, who had been sitting on a twig near by, couldn’t
understand it at all. Ho flew down and poked his head in at that en-
trance. Then he did the same thing Mrs. Swallow had done.
It was plain to Peter Rabbit that something was wrong. What It could
be he hadn't the slightest idea. Never had he seen Skimmer and Mrs.
•wallow so excited and angry. Of course the other birds In the Old Orchard
came hurrying up to find out what it was all about. It was some time
before either Skimmer or Mrs. Swallow could sit still long enough to tell
them what the trouble was.
Finally it came out "Some one is in there!" cried Mra. Swallow. “Some

has any right to it but ourselves!"
* "If it is your house why don't you put out whoever is in there" inquired
Scrapper the Kingbird. "I would if I were in your place. No bird would
take my home away from me!”
"No bird has taken our house from us,” retorted Skimmer. “It it were a
bird it would be different."
"Well, then, who is It" demanded Scrapper.
Just then a sleepy looking face appeared in the doorway. It was the
face ot Timmy the Flying Squirrel!

Not a Comparable Case
CONSTITUTIONAL provisions may authorize the board
• of education to perform certain duties in secret ses-
sion, as cited by E. F. Loughmiller, president of the board.
It does not follow, however, that it is a wise provision,
and when he added that no business man hired his em-
ployes in the presence of the public, he made a comparison
that in nowise fits the case. A subordinate who happens
to head a department, might well consult his superior in
matters of employment. Theoretically, at least, the people
are superior to the school board, and the board is in the
employ of the people.
It has not been so long since a school board member as-
serted testily that it was none of the people’s business what
the school board did. That attitude is all too characteristic
with those men entrusted with the guidance and manage-
ment of our educational institutions. On the contrary, the
people have no more important business than the schools.
Our standards, of citizenship and our hopes for progress
center largely in public school education.
A The people are weary of gumshoe tactics and political
I wire-pulling and selfish machinations in the board of edu-
l cation. Perhaps present conditions cannot be changed dur-
ing the tenure of these officials, but they can be changed.
■ The people should know what is done in school affairs,
land why. Let them persist in their demands.
