Three and one-half millions of children are said to be starv- ing in central and southcastern Europe. That is sad. Little children can not help themselves. They should be aided and succored by those who are strong and well biessed \\‘lth this world’s goods. American people are asked to contribute twenty millions of dollars for this purpoese, twenty-three millions to be exact. It will be done, for we : B ¢ too humane a people to allow little helpless children to starve when we have plenty from which to contribute the sustenance of life.

Mary people who send their children to school are too ready to pass judgment and censure upon the teacher. It frequently happens that a child must be punished for its misconduct. over other and better pupils. 0 ] l_“ailure to inflict proper punishment would destroy all discipline in the school and exert a demoralizing influence ;) But parents scldom see the faults of their own children. In many cases the teacher is promptly condemned and the unruly child is upheld in its misdeeds. When we see smoke causes it. And when a child should be equally diligent prompted its infliction. In no other way we in at once looking lack receives punishment for the for the fire which in a school we cause whic =2 can school authorities maintain discipline. and a school without discipline is not worthy the name. 0 One of the Pioneer's correspondents erect a house for social mectings on a small plot of ground of & C ) suggests that it would be' a fine idea for the old and young folks of his community to a acre or more planted with shade trees, where elevating and in- struct}\'e a_ddress es might be made in the American language on Americanism as it is written in the United States Constitution.
