Should Teach Producti { The speaker said it should be the aim of educators from now on to teach children to think of production, since only through production and thrift will the nation be able to get back to the fundamental principles underlying its foundatfon. He said it also Is vital to tram boys and girls to get back to the love of home. Only through education and home lifa wiil it be possible, he asserted. to build up {an every-day, abiding patriotism which {shall be equal to carrving the nation through any peril that may con- fromt it. Senator King said now is the time to preach Christianity and the spirit of self-sacrifice in every community. Instead of blind, cynical individualism, [the nation’s need is social service, he said. The day has come when the American people should feel that they are a part of the world and should do their part in it. Senator King' predicted that the federal budget for the flscal year 1922, after all possible ecconomies have been effected, will call for an expenditure of between four and five billion dollars. The people, he satd, after meeting actual living costs and paying taxes. would have probably not more than five billion dollars left out of earnings for investment pur- poses. He pointed out that the na- tion cannot be developed in ntial respects until the amount available for investment has been increased. The only solution of the problem, he Senator King, a lnontemled. will be found in a refurn by the people to the principles of thrift, economy and conservation. President Albert Schultefs presided at the meeting. A report from the membership committee read by Sec retary Seymour showed that forty five members had been added since the last meeting. Following the meeting a buffet supper was served. WARN AUTOS AT SCHOOL. Parent-Teacher Association Mem- bers Vote Signs at Brightwood.
