and religion. Herein lies the hope of
the future, a hope and a challenge
to which no private nc.r parochial
school, by the very nature of things,
can measure up to.
How long before this selfevident
fact will be recognized by the Ameri-
can people? The way to destroy the
antipathies and misunderstandings
that now divide this nation into a
hundred antagonistic sects, classes,
nationalities and schools of thought is
so utterly obvious that ^it needs no
elaborate definition or argument.
The solution of these social 'prob-
lems is found in the public schools,
and such commencements as the one
mentioned is proof of it.—Scottish

D. S. Coplin. a Texas educator,
writes in “The Texas Outlook, naming
some of the things he hopes to see
brought to pass in Texas. The list
includes:
“Continuation schools.
“Carrying out of Survey Commission

“Repeal of the • permanent first
grade certificate law.
“Repeal of free textbook law, and a
new one passed.
“High school graduation a minimum

KENTUCKY “GOSSIP LAW”
Kentucky has a “gossip law” that
* may not be so bad. The law reads:
“That any person who shall wilfully,
knowingly or maliciously repeat or
communicate to any person or persons
a false rumor or report of a slanderous
or harmful nature or which may be
detrimental to the character or stand-
ing of such other person or persons,
isen or officer or candidate for office,

melting pot of this nation, wherein*
all races are being fused to produce
a new and finer type of nationality
was strikingly exemplified at the com-
mencement of the Roosevelt High
School of Los Angeles. California, in
June, on which occasion the gradua-
tion address was delivered by Reynold
E. Blight, 33°, formerly editor of this
publication.
Among the ninety graduates, the
Following nationalities were repre-
sented: English, Austrian, Roumani-
an, Sweedish, German, French, Greek.
Italian, Armenian. Japanese, Norweg-
ian, Hungarian, Cyrian, Spanish and
Russian. f
The different religious affiliations
represented were: Russian Orthodox.
Jewish, Methodist, Christian Science,
Baptist, Roman Catholic, Presbyterian
and Unitarian.
The class speeches were described
as vibrant with intelligent American-
ism, and flaming with patriotic loyalty
and enthusiasm. This class spoke for
the new generation who love America
with passionate devotion and may be
depended upon to support staunchly
American ideals and institutions.
I Young people such as those are pro-
ducts of the American public schools.
By the close association in the study
room, social hall, and athletic field,
they have learned tolerance, sympathy
and a sturdy Americanism that tran-
scends the narrow prejudices of race
CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING .
CAMP
Fort Sam Houston. Aug. 3.—Mere
than one thousand young men, the
flower of youthful Texan manhood,
made an impressive sight as they
tcdk the oath of allegiance to the Re-
public at the opening ceremonial of
the Citizens’ Military Training Camp
here. For 30 days, those boys and
young men,, garbed In the uniform of
the United States Army, will train
and learn, and enjoy recreation at
the expense of Uncle Sam.
Formed in three sides of a hollow
square, with the officers of the camp
closing the other lateral, the thous-
and and more students raised their
right hands and repeated, in a mighty
chorus, “So help me God,” as Colonel
John L. DeWitt. camp commander, ad-
ministered the oath of loyalty to
country.
Brigadier General Paul B. Malone,
commanding the Second Division and
Fort Sam Houston, and in general
charge of-‘the camp, made a brief and
stirring address, urging the students
to approach their man’s size job with
seriousness and to do nothing that
would in any way reflect upon the
uniform with which they had been in-
trusted.
“In the haversack of some boy be-
fore me,” said General Malone, “are
the two stars of a major general. I
want to see what boy will so conduct
himself, will so demonstrate his eager-
ness and Witness, as to mark him as
the man who will one day lead an
army of the Republic in its defense.”

THE CHILDREN
PERFECT
Away From the Crowds
America is still undiscovered, still waiting to be discovered
—by you! .
Away from the paved highways, deep in the hidden solitudes
—are shady groves fragrant with the scent of flowers—sun-
drenched valleys—lazy streams—or hurrying brooks as
befit your mood. Waiting to please you with their un-
touched charms.
Take your Ford and venture forth into the delights of the
unknown. Leave the beaten path to others. Go where you
will—whether the road is paved or not.
It is the car for the true adventurer; the car that no going
—be it sand, dirt or rocky road—can halt; the car that will
take you safely, certainly and happily to where Nature hides
her true loveliness.

Women Ruled in Days
of Our Cave Ancestors
' Old-fashioned ideas as to man’s su-
premacy in the days when the earth
was young have had a rude jolt, ac-
cording to an eminent statement of
ancient manners and customs. It is
now declared that woman, in the days
of our cave-dwelling ancestors, was re-
garded as of the more important sex.
Men held a secondary position, toler-
ated for the sake of the food and
skins provided. Women ruled, and
were the inventors of the earliest arts
and sciences. It was the woman’s in-
genuity which devised snares for ani-
mals and made plans for storing food
against times of scarcity. Women
taught ways of making clothing from
skins of animals and by the efforts of
their brains improved the lot of all the
human race. Woman's cunning and
wit were the outcome of her lack of
physical strength, which obliged her
to resort to strategy rather than force.
On the whole, the prehistoric woman
apparently held the same position and
ruled man Jn the same manner that
she does today. Man possibly thought
he was Kbss. hut so long as he didn’t
know any better, what difference did
it make?

in newspapers is the accepted method
today—because it is so much more
positive and effective. * * * There
are certain forms that should be fol-
lowed, however, because, "just any
kind of an ad” is not always read.
****** PICTURES, illustra-

ment all add to the eye appeal and
make the reader read. * * * • If
