Mastered in the postoffice at Winnetk Rlimeis, as mall matter of the secon _eimss, under the act of March 3, 1879. SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1920 A Vain Hope -- The public generally will approve the plan to increase the salaries of those postal employes who are doing the actual work of the department, both because of the justice of bring- ing up the pay of the government employe to the standard in other lines of work and in the interests of improving the service and of stopping the exodus of competent employes from the ranks into some other 'more remunerative line of work. Dissatisfaction with the quality of the postal service is not limited to any city or section of the United States. Everywhere there is the evi- dence of lack of efficiency and of in- adequate service to suggest that the 'salary paid is not such as to attract good men into the service or to keep ~ there men who have struggled through the period of learning the work only to find that they cannot live and save anything for the future out of the money that they receive for the performance of their duty. It is to be hoped that the measure to provide more adequately for the 'postal employes will be carried through as rapidly as possible and 'that the effect will soon be evident ~ in the improvement of the character of the service that is rendered, a vain hope, perhaps, in view of the fact that quite opposite is evident in nearly every other line of employ- ment, but it is pleasant to hope. Thrift In The Public Schools It appears now that the teaching of thrift is to be made compulsory in the public schools. Children who are taught at home to waste their pennies, nickels and dimes are to be countertaught to save under the mot- 'to "Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves." 'As a nation there is nothing that we so need to learn as lessons in thrift. We are prodigal of the things that we have and lavish with what we hope to have. We derive no com- fort from the practice of economy strictest sort of compulsion. A gen- "eration of children instructed under | the efficient tutelage of the teachers in the public schools should be a ma- terial benefit to the country, as well as a joy to those grown old and be- ginning to learn the folly of making no provisions for the rainy day. Incidentally it may be mentioned 'that no group of Americans is better equipped to teach thrift than the teachers in the public schools who have, by reason of the inadequate re- muneration that they have received, been compelled to practice it whether they had any leaning towards it or not.

They left their school work singing. The concert which they gave at the Winnetka Woman's club was one of unusual merit both in the type of music and in the way it was sung. An old negro spiritual "Go Down Moses" was one of the finest numbers rendered and brought forth a vigorous encore from the house. The children were assisted in their concert by Mr. Edwin P. Martin, a soloist who came out from Chicago at Mrs. Kohlsaat's request. The pro- gram in full was as follows: America the Beautiful Chorus and audience CHOrales Ts i. visisgitsiin ae vite ts Bach (a) "Deck thyself, my soul with gladness" (b) "What Tongue can Tell greatness, Lord " (¢) "From East to West" Canon--"Sumer is i-cumin in" ....
