There must be no criticism, but help. One cannot teach children civic righteousness without co-operation. Now that the health crusade is going on, let it spread to the interior of the school and fh>m there to the school yard. Teach the children to swat the fly, to clean up alleys, vacant lots and especially the school grounds. Have a dandelion yrar! iiet the children pick up scattered papers and be 'taught to public property. Some of us had better not say much about civic righteousness on account of the way Pa-^keeps the back lot. But if we try to teach children about civic . righteousness and if we attempt to improve the school grounds, it fill make the children better. Whfen the high school at Cairo, 111., was nine years old it had no marks in the basement, shed, domestic science room nor on any desk or wall, nor on any door or any window sill. You cah teach - children civic righteousness. Our school grounds in McHenry are the prettiest and largest in the county. But women's nands are needed to plan and help beautify them. A Social Serviee club or Mothers' club is one of the best means of bringing this about. We should have new walks, flower beds which. dignify soil cultivation, and, if need he; posts -and .chains put around the ground to keep the public from making that terrible path across it, It spoils the looks of the grounds. Fruit and nut trees could be planted on the grounds. Then a special space could be set aside for athletics. It will mean perseverance, but we have demonstrated during the war that nothing is impossible. Lot's have some past-war activities along this line! "A little hard work and some fresh pamt, Would make the devil look like a saint." • Consider the sehoolhouse *nd grounds as a community center. Teach the children to take pride in the grounds. Remember it is theirs and they must beautify it. No man's land iB no more, but every "man's land is eternal. --Ellen Walsh.
