Who will deny that a good education's the most dependable defense against ignorance, gullibility and lawlessness? The Harrison - Thomas - Fletcher bill (a revision of the Harrison r) which is now before congress, is the result of a countrywide survey of our educational provisions. The study revealed some appalling conditions. Short school terms and classes taught by untrained teachers appear to be the rule in many parts of the country, and, of course, defenses are never stronger than their weakest spot. The bill (S. 419, II. R. 10340) for the provides federal funds purpose of lessening inequalities of opportunity for elementary and secondary education, among states and within states. State sovis ereignty carefully guarded. This bill offers the bricks mentioned above. The children will use them if they are provided, but most of them will bi satisfied with the materials at hand. Little they know how much, for them, is at stake in congress just now. But you know; will you help these boys and girls? Write first to the President of the United States, Washington, D. C.

Then when the wolf-lik- e winds huff and puff and blow their poor little houses in, one moment of regret will be more wearisome than many hours of effort now spent in persuading neighbors and friends to write those letters or postcards.
