_____
My Dear Mr. Editor.—
I didn't quite like the sentiment
expressed in repaid to the kind
hearted men who so willingly gave
; their time to search for the drown
ed body of a feQow-man. Many
. fine good-hearted, bag men would
never have an opportunity to show
. their own worth nor show their
metal, were it not for Just such
| accidents, if they remain in their
homes. They would have provid
ed for themselves. Give them a
chance to do something human
without the thought of the dollar.
"Bread cast upon the waters will
return, etc."
Those who remained to toast
their feet around the fireside have
. their problems also, and we have
only to view our beautiful liftle
city to know how well and wiihrtg
ly they respond. Our fine churches,
school, public library, the council
chamber and many other public in
dustries built little by little by the
people, and before we know it, our
•’Forty Night Star" will be the
| pride of the nation. AH because
the splendid class of citiiens who
are each doing a part in this budd
ing. and we are justly proud of
each and all. I would mention
our equipped Fire Department and
the faithful fine “Laddies" who
watch and protect our property as
carefully without one thought of
the dollar. Never mind boys,
when you have grown old in our
service we may be able to pension
you. and so the work of building
goes on, each and all doing their
part for the betterment and im
provement of our city and district.
Sincerely and in all good-will,
thank you Mr. Editor.
METHOD 61F GERMAN ATTACK
(From the New Republic)
The Germans give the order to
charge. The artillery redoubles
its efforts, keeping up the cannon
ade antH the Germans are so dose
to the enemy that it dares not fire
longer, for the fear of slaughtering
its own men. The German attack
goes up in three parallel and wide
ly separated lines. These lines
are deployed like skirmishers,
about five yards between each man.
They all advance on the run. The
second line runs faster than the
firm and the third faster than the
second. The effect of this is to
bring these men. when almost upon
the enemy, shoulder to shoulder.
But mark that point, “when al
most upon the enemy.” When
crossing the sene of ixre the Ger
mans were not shoulder to shoulder
and did not afford any massed tar
get, They were in three rushing
lines, the unites of which were wide
ly separated, and by their trick of
giving each line a different speed
of advance, they were all brought
together for that one terrific mom
ent just before the bayonets get in
waj the German* attack,
triple wave of men. That is the

NEW BELGIAN POSTAGE
STAMPS
(From Use Youth’s Companion)
The most note worthy postage
stamps of modern times are those
of the occupation series that Ger
many imposed upon conquered Bel
gium; a series that resulted in a
stamp issue of reprisal. The Ger
mans consficated Belgian stamps
as fast as they could find them,
and sold great quantities at a dis
count in German and neutral coun
tries.
No revenue accrued to the Bel
gian treasury from those sales and
the Belgian government put to
press a new Belgian series. The
stamps appeared last October, ap
parently printed in London and dis
tributed from there. The Belgian
: government has demonetized the
stamps that the Germans siexed.
The new Belgian stamps will be
unique in the annals of philately,
because of their historical signifi
cance. Seven values, from one
their work, when it is most discon
certing for the enemy to face such
a mass of men.
These charging lines are fed by
reserves kept in column formation
ant;! they are deployed and sent
across the zone of fire for a second

centimes, to twenty-five centimes,
of the ordinary si*e, contain the
portrait of Albeit. Several higher
values of a larger sice reflecting
the coming of the Germans. The
35-centime stamp shows the Cloth
hall of Ypres after the destruction
wrought by the enemy: the 40-cen
time, the College of Dinant and the
surrounding landscape after the in
vasion; the 50-centime, the ruins
of the university of Louvain. The
1-franc stamp symbolises the free
ing of the Scheldt, as the most im
portant economic event in the his
tory of Belgium; the 2-franc com
memorates the annexation of Con
go; the 5-franc shows King Albert

to his army. The 10-centime por
trays three kings of the Belgians—
the two Leopolds and Albert.
TRAINING THE CHILDREN
"I never allow my children to
bring tales home from school,” the
mother of a pupil- once told me.
“I exepect them to do as they are
bidden and the teacher will do the
rest.”
No, dear mother, teacher cannot
do the rest unaided by you. She
needs your help, and all the help
your child’s confidences can give
you.
I heard another mother declare:
“It’s no use for Abel to bring
books home. I’ve forgotten all
I ever knew, and if I hadn’t I've
no time to help him. Besides. I
think six hours of school work
enough for any boy or girl below
High School. If they and the
teachers make good use of the six
hours, FU risk any deficiency.”
But that mother might have en
couraged Abel to bring books home,
, if only to follow his progress with
pride, leaf by leaf. She would not
have wasted any precious minutes
talking over the lessons while she
made him ready for bed. His in
terest, the vital feature of school
life, could have been engaged for
all time by her interested sympathy
in his little doings and achieve
ments.
“Some say this is a fine teacher
we have now,” a rural housewife
was heard to remark to a neigh
bor. “I don’t know. Others cry
her down. I never meddle witn
school affairs. I bring up my chil
dren to go to school and mind the
teacher, and my husband votes for
as good a superintendent as can
be had. If our boys and girl’s
grow up dunces, it’s no fault of
ours. We do our duty by them.
When I was young, my father and
mother told us if we got punished
at school we’d get more when we
; got home. John and I don’t go as
far as that, but we do let the pro
per authorities look after educa
; tiona! matters.”
Result: No sympathy between
parent and teacher, child and schoo,
perhaps little between teacher and
that child and his home. The par
! ent knows nothng of the child’s
school life, and if pernicious, it is
: apt remedied. Superintendents are
j not infallible, nor teaehers. The
\ parents certainly have a duty.—
