The next time you feel tempted to criticize your favorite paper for some error of judgment, fact or policy, think of that; oint. P The newspaper tries its best to get facts accurately, to use | clear-headed judgment and to keep its policy in line with the| best interests of its community. But being human, it is liable not only to the errors of its human staff, but to the errors of | hose from whom it tries to collect straight news. | Ask any experienced newspaper man what is the hardest| thing in his business, and he will reply unhesitatingly: “To get| people to tell the truth.” Many people give wrong replies be- cause their observation has been faulty. - They speak in good faith, but they did not see clearly or remember accurately. Many deliberately attempt to mislead the reporter, from self- interest, a misguided sense of humor or a perverted sense of the | newspaper’s function. | This newspaper, like others, is a human institution. But| it doed its best. Your co-operation will help to make that best| better.—Red Wing Republican. | FREEDOM OF THE PRESS Postmaster General Hays has issued an order restoring the second-class mailing privileges to the Milwaukee Leader and | the New York Call, two notorious Socialist newspapers. The| action must not be interpreted as expressing the sympathy of | Mr. Hays for the matter appearing in those sheets, The post-| master general takes the view that.the papers should either be denied the use of the mails altogether or should have the same privileges as other periodieals. © Mr. Burleson did not exclude| them from the mails, but permitted them to circulate after pay-| ing the high postal rates’called for under a third class rating. | Postmaster General Hays does not believe in such half-way | measures. The papers are either good or bad, and. should or should not be carried in the mails. Their future status will be determined by the sort of matter that they print. “The News- made this Pt i i ¥ Mr. Harding says we should look first to the interests of | our own country, That is good advice, and his first act should | be to purge the business world of the thieves and rascals who! are converting the word “business” into a term of reproach. | On the heels o7 Big Bill Haywood’s arrival in Russia comes| the report that the bolshevik government is financially busted. | That ought to make William see red., g | Marshal Foch wants to visit the United States in Novem- ber.

I — MUST ADMIT CHILDREN % The mean landlord is going to find himself in trouble these days, no matters which way he turns. Governor Miller of New York has just signed a-bill which provides that any landlord in New York state who refuses to rent | his property to people because they have children will be guilty of a mis-| demeanor.

In the first place, you're cruel. In the secend place, you're a hypocrite. And in the third place I don’t like that ex- pression of it hurting you more than it does the child.” 5 “Lots of “people use il, and you don’t. object,” the woman said. stringy and hung about her head in a very untidy way. very big, and her teeth were very yel- Her hands were enormous, and the velns stuck out on them. was such a horrible face that they were ‘sure her ugliness wasn't skin deep. was . beautiful, even when one got to know her. And they didn’t feel as if they ever wanted to know her, not in a milllon years. Such a dreadful person they they imagined, which belonged to a person who could be cruel to smaller children and to animals. Then the boy remembered, with a pang, that he | bad kicked the little toad. He, too, was cruel, und if he was ever cruel “'lf Take Your Child.” like that a second time afid perhaps a third, he would have a face like this woman’s. He would certainly never be cruel again. They had been watching her so steadily that they had scarcely no- ticed a lovely little boy, quite, quite young, with golden hair and soft brown eyes. He was still erying, just a little, and his little face looked as though he had been crying quite hard. “If you do it again,” said Master Thoughtfulness, “I will take your child away from you.

It Is probable that the beginning. of the American public school was in Massachusetts. In 1835 the people of Boston assembled in town meeting, re- quested Philemen Purmont to become schoolmaster and voted him 30 acres of land in part pay for his services. The school begun by Purmont later became the Boston Latin school and has had continuous existence to the present time. Other settlements fol- lowed Boston’s. example and within were established in all the New Eng- land settlements. In 1647 the gen- eral court of Massachusetts ordered every town having 50 families to ap- point a teacher, whose wages were to he pald by the parents of the children he taught or by the inhabitants in general. At the:same time townships having 100 families were required to establish a grammar school to fit youth for college. The law establish- ing these two grades of Schools laid the foundation of the public school system “in the United States. Three in Connecticut, but Rhode Island made no attempt to fqrm -a school system until 1790. “Miss Nancy."” t This term is generally supposed to have originated in connection with/ Anna Oldfield, an actress of the| Eightéenth century.
