we look brick with 'horror at the

I any man is eligible to trial by jury

Ih based.
We shout about our lack of
racial prejudice. We point to the
"race, color" clause of our consti
tution, ami yet a white man who
had committed t ho crime of which
the iieKro was accused would have
been tried before twelve men.
We can pride ourselves on our
institutions, we can briiK about our

shout about our social reforms, but
we shall never have achieved
civilization until we reject the
barbarism and savagery of the
"lynch law" and forpet racial dif

f for the child who finds it neces
sary lo leave the -schooj room to
answer the calls of nature ? I do
not believe any parent could be
"impudent' to a teacher ur a
principal who attempts such as
sault upon a pupil's natural com
fort, and health. It is a scandal to
' pedagogy that we still have, In
some . h u c k w a r d communities,
teachers and school principals
who would, If they could, pen
alize pupils by keeping them af
ter school at night for such of
fenses against tho dignity of the
I teacher.
When the University of Chicago
announced the five year plan
whereby a capable student nmy
complete a course In a year or
less instead of hanging around
I for four years to gain tho covet
ed degree, many antediluvian edu
cators were shocked. Will Kogers
pointed out that now the smart
youngsters can go thru college
just ns fast as they like, where
as always before they've had to
Htiek around four years to keep
company with the dumb ones.
In well conducted primary or
elementary schools no pupil Is re
(iiircd to serve notice or to seek
anybody's permission when he
' finds it necessary lo Icavo the
room. What is more to the point,
in such schools children do NOT
take advantage of the natural lib
erty they have in that respect.
Antediluvian is really a mild
epithet for me to apply to teach
ers, principals or hoards of edu
cation that tolerate or practice
this particular abuse. If I were
confronted with an instance in
person I'd use a more appropriate
term for it.
Now and then some judge up
holds the practice of corporal
punishment by school teachers or
principals. All right, but should
the law not give the parent a
break, too. bv movidhitt that the
' teacher or principal notify the
parent nnd Invite the parent to
a.
be present while the assault 1b
I being committed ?
The presence of a parent In
I person has an excellent moral ef
feet upon teachers, principals or
school hoards.
If your kid is required to "stay
after school" it is u fine plan to
he on hand yourself to stay witli
the kid and see how chastening
the foul air of the school room
is on your spirit of respect for bu
thority nnd politeness nnd all
that.

o enjoy your column very
much. I read about Whitfield's
ointment In your column and used
it for ringworm of the feet with
excellent results. (M. M.)
Answer. My Impression from
the many report una comments
of renders about the very prevn
lent tinea trlcophytosis, ringworm
fungus infection of tho feet, gym
nasium or swimming pool Itch, is
that the salvo as suggested by Dr
Whitfield of Iondon is. the most
satisfactory .remedy, tho it some
times falls. I am glad to give any
render who requests It nnd in
closes stamped envelope bearing
his nddress directions for the
preparation and uso of the for
mula. Around Seven-Fifty.
I've been taking your lodin ra
tion for n month, and I want to
tell you I'm feeling like n million
dollars. How long should I wait
before I start the second month?
(Mrs. W. C. C.)
Answer. Well, you might have
another go at it when you're feel
ing seven hundred and fifty dol
lars. Ordinarily ono should have
nn f od in month in each of the
four seaso n s su i t y o u rsel f about
tho months. It ma ken no differ
ence whether your lodin months
have K in them, tho It months
i ought to give one a little more
food iodin in the : form - of shell
fish and ocean fish.
Another Miracle Ma it.
When 1 was a child my hands,
wrists and even between the fing-'
ers wore oovered with warts. My
father was a railroad man, and
an old engineer told him to bring
mo to htm and ho would remove
the warts. One day father did
tako me unexpectedly as the engi
neer was getting out of his cab.
He just mumbled pome words and
stroked my hands once or twice
with his fingers, and the warts
disappeared. (.Mrs. O. II. Jl.)
Answer. -Yeah ? Heats nil how
much power some engineers have.
Birthmark,
Is it dangerous to have a red
birthmark removed from the
face? ( B. J. K.)
Answer. Not If : you- have' a
real doctor do It. It is dangerous
and foolish to entrust such work
to any one else.

had asked it. "JJcnjamin Franklin
has just come into the world, and
I thought it would bo nice to turn

"Are we going inside?" asked
Peggy, who liked little babies. Hut
tho Clock shook his' head. "No, I
want to turn the time ahead now
to a June day in 1 T r2.
Suddenly there was a heavy
thunder and lightning torni. . The
peaU of thunder were terrific, the
lightning flushed this way and
that. John loved storms, but Peg
gy whs a little bit frightened. Now
they saw a man and his son right
out in tho storm flying a kite with
a key attached to the end of the
kite cord, drawing the electricity
from the heavy clouds.

Anyone, whio.' nis iiuchidt fa
kindergarten or first grado teach
er getting her class rendy to go
out of doors cannot help but be
amazed nt tho skill with which
she sees thnt her pupils are cloth
ed properly. . ..
There are so ' many sweaters
and. caps and gloves and gatoshes
that must find their way to tho
proper heads and shoulders, arms
and feet of so many clumsy little
bodies. " -
Not only does she ' succeed ', in
getting each child into ' its own
clothes but . also in . making, him
do It with a minimum of help..
With tho young child tho 'mat
ter of fastenings is especially, im
portant. Button leggings niiean
that his teacher must drop every
thing to do them up for him for
the buttons arc so small and so
numerous thnt they discourugo
any but highly skilled fingers.
Leggings which simply pull on
and are held In place by elastic
around the back half of the wnlst
are a great benefit to the child
under seven. ' . ' ;
Gloves are easily lost unless
they are securely sewed to a lonff
tape that passes up the Inside of
the coat sleeves and around tho
neck.
lt Is not fair cither to teacher
or child to send him dressed in
clothes so ' fussy nnd expensive
that the loss of a. button, a tear
or a stain becomes cause for re
proof and punishment.
Parents often fall to appreciate
the fact that 'in one class room
there may be a dozen dark blue
berets, 18 or more pairs of brown
rubbers and many raincoats and
leather jackets hard to disting
uish from the other. '
Unless each article is nlninly
niaiked with the child's full name.
ono has only himself to blame
when it is lost. '
