of forsaking • the- Democratic party

"Governor Cox is making many

'■-iwd a Republican Congress.
"An efficient administration is tbe
great issue. Senator Harding's election will, I believe, insure more eflSci-
enoy than the election of Governor
Cox, who haa been compelled to accept reluctant support from certain
members of the present Administration wbo could ■ contribute little
strength to tho next Administration.
I want,to see the Government really
administered, and the only way to
accomplish this is to completely overhaul tbe Federal machinery.'*

PAROCHIAL SCHOOL
Amendment Is Likely To Be
Misleading.
' Chairman Kirkbride has called our
attention to one thing in connection
witb tbe so-called "Parochial School"
amendment tbat certainly needs attention, something of which we bave
noticed no mention in tbe daily press.
Constantly in ail mention of this
amendment it is referred to as the
"Parochial School" amendment, yet
nowhere is tbis term used in tbe
amendment itself. Below we give
the Wording of this proposed measure:
"Section 16. All residents of the
State of Michigan, between the ages
of five years and sixteen years, shall
attend the public school in tbeir respective districts until tbey have
graduated from the eighth grade;
Provided, Tbat in districts wbere the
grades do not r.ach the eighth, then
all persona herein described in sucb
district shall complete the course
taught therein."
Section 17. Tbe legislature shall
enact all necessary legislation to render section sixteen effective."
While some sects are more actively
oppoaing'tbis measure because tbey
are more directly bit by it, still, as
we remarked last week, it finds little
favor anywhere. Nearly, or qnite all,
of our leading scbool men oppose it.
As bas been repeatedly pointed out
it will result in throwing thousands
of children out of any school privileges whatever. The schools almost
everywhere are crowded, thousands
in Detroit for instance being able to
attend only half time, another set of
pupils taking tbeir piavea tue other
half day.
- A series of farm accounting schools
taking np the principles of business
management in agricultural work,
will b» beld in various counties over
tbe state during tha cooping winter-
according t^o announcement made
tbiK week from tbe office of
management at the Michigan
cultural college.
Proper methods of keeping
records and account books, including inventories of tbe farm business
plant, will be taught at these ecbool-?,
50 of wbicb have been planned io
abont 25 different Michigan conn tie*
between tbe first of December and
April. ■.•..'■'■"
Putting tbs farm on a business
basis is the fundamental aim of the
accounting work. Hit-or-mies, uncertain farming has been all too prevalent in tbe past, and it 1b the belief
of experts tbat properly kept account
books, such as tbose distributed' by
M. A. C, will bring system into the
aeri'cuitural business. Ability to pick
out the paying ends of farming and
to locate the weak spots which . bring
losses, follows a good set of farm accounts. - They make it possible to de-
Leroaiiie Ibe relative proportion of
each farm enterprise on a profitably
managed farm.

France.
Our readers will doubtless recall
the death of Bert Howard which occurred in France nearly tbree yeara
ago. He was in tbe training camps
in thi1? country for pine .months and
was tben killed in a railroad accident soon after landing in France.
Tbe body waa shipped back to tbis
country and accompanied by a soldier guard, reacbed bere on Mondav

Of course tbe distinctly ••Southern'*

the South favors tbe League of Nations.
Any one wbo bas observed tbe pri.

that the Democrats there are overwhelmingly opposed to it. ~Were it
not for the bugbear of **Negro domination," very <ifcely -some states of
the south would oppose Cox on that

CLARE PARTY

At San
Mr. Ferris ia very strenunously
nrging all tbe women of tbe state to
avoid ail party alliances. Why should
a woman avoid it any more than a
man? No party is perfect but governmental policies are of necessity
sbaped through political parties. Few
men are probably entirely satisfied
with their party. Tbe best tbat any
man can do is to select the party
that comes nearest to bis ideal and
then labor to make it better. Tbe
"'political independent" is a political
nonentity. Any man may exercise
a good degree of Independence inside
bis party. If be is ashamed of the
party, let him leave it.
Wbat possible reason can be offered
why a woman should not ally herself
witb some political party? If tbe
women of tbe state were ail turning
toward the Democratic party, wonld
Mr. Ferris offer any objections?
Annual Red Cross Election.
A special effort is being made at
tbis time to raise tbe standarda of
work in our high scbool. Too many
pupils of excellent ability are not
applying -nfflcient»cQncentration of
effort to their work
Over balanced predominance of interest in athletics is sometimes a
cause of lack cf serious attention to
school work. But this can affect
only a small number of tbe people in
higb scbool at this time. Furthermore, the school organization is in a
position to handle any sucb difficulty
by strict enforcement of scholastic
requirements as a basis for eligibility
in athletic contests. '
Wben a large number of pupils are
not working as efficiently as they
should in achool some of the first
questions to ask are. "Wbatarstbese
people doing in . the evening? Are
tbey paying too much attention to
social activities? Are they getting as
much sleep as tbey should? If at
borne, are tbe activities of the evening quiet and restful or of such a
nature as to cause undne nervous
stimulation?".
It is in tbis matter that tbe co-operation of ail the parents-of bigb scbool
children is earnestly urged.
- For its part, tbe school organization is at present doing two main
things: (1) By closer supervision of
study an effort ia being made to increase tbe efficiency of the pupil's
work in scbool; and (2) announcement has been made that unless permission shall be obtained from the
superintendent no parties of scboo
classes or pupils will be sanctioned
by scbool authority if occurring on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or
Thursday evening.
In most cases, a certain amount of
borne study of lessons ie advisable
for pupils of high scbool age. In all
cases it is urged tbat a quiet evening
be spent at home Good music and
good literature are beneficial. Tbe
nervous stimulation caused by too
frequent social intercourse, too much
jazz music, by late hours, or by sensational stories and novels is not beet
for the physical, mental or moral
health of the growing cbild.

A meeting of tbe Ciare County
Chapter, American Red Cross, is}
called at Harrison, Mich., on Monday
Oct. 25. 1920, at 7:30 P. M. for the purpose of electing officers for the en*
sning year. Make preparations for
tbe November drive for membership
and transact any otber business that
may be presented. It is hoped that
every nnit wiil be represented.
8. O. Kirkbride, Chairman.
Mrs. Wm. Lange, Secretary.
Mr. Bryan has some yery remarkable ideas. . He was entirely opposed to having this country maker any
preparation for defense. That would
be sure to involve us in war. By
parity of reasoning, the sure way for
a city to avoid burglars is to leave all
doors unlocked and. bave no police
force. Now Mr. Bryan sees no hope ,
of peace unless we present to all the
nations of Europe who are our debtors a receipt in full. They cannot
poBSioly pay, he says, save by collecting from the Central powers and tbat
will surely cause anotner war.
We can all remember tbat Mr. Bryan wben secretary of state laboied
very diligently to have congress vote
several millions to Colnmbia to repay
ber for attempting to blackmail tbis
country. He felt sure it wonld produce an "era of good feeling." Why
does not Mr. Bryan give away wbat
he has to his neighbors? . No donbt
tbey wonid be pleased to receive it.

' Chairman Kirkbride has called our attention to one thing in connection witb tbe so-called "Parochial School" amendment tbat certainly needs attention, something of which we bave noticed no mention in tbe daily press. Constantly in ail mention of this amendment it is referred to as the "Parochial School" amendment, yet nowhere is tbis term used in tbe amendment itself. Below we give the Wording of this proposed measure: "Section 16. All residents of the State of Michigan, between the ages of five years and sixteen years, shall attend the public school in tbeir respective districts until tbey have graduated from the eighth grade; Provided, Tbat in districts wbere the grades do not r.ach the eighth, then all persona herein described in sucb district shall complete the course taught therein." Section 17. Tbe legislature shall enact all necessary legislation to render section sixteen effective." While some sects are more actively oppoaing'tbis measure because tbey are more directly bit by it, still, as we remarked last week, it finds little favor anywhere. Nearly, or qnite all, of our leading scbool men oppose it. As bas been repeatedly pointed out it will result in throwing thousands of children out of any school privileges whatever. The schools almost everywhere are crowded, thousands in Detroit for instance being able to attend only half time, another set of pupils taking tbeir piavea tue other half day. - A series of farm accounting schools taking np the principles of business management in agricultural work, will b» beld in various counties over tbe state during tha cooping winter- according t^o announcement made tbiK week from tbe office of management at the Michigan cultural college. Proper methods of keeping records and account books, including inventories of tbe farm business plant, will be taught at these ecbool-?, 50 of wbicb have been planned io abont 25 different Michigan conn tie* between tbe first of December and April. ■.•..'■'■" Putting tbs farm on a business basis is the fundamental aim of the accounting work. Hit-or-mies, uncertain farming has been all too prevalent in tbe past, and it 1b the belief of experts tbat properly kept account books, such as tbose distributed' by M. A. C, will bring system into the aeri'cuitural business. Ability to pick out the paying ends of farming and to locate the weak spots which . bring losses, follows a good set of farm accounts. - They make it possible to de- Leroaiiie Ibe relative proportion of each farm enterprise on a profitably managed farm.
