Entered at the postoffice at Winnet- ka, Illinois, as mail matter of the sec- ta class, under the act of March 3, SATURDAY JUNE, 10, 1922 WHAT FOR TOMORROW? Perhaps to every age there has seemed to be the same absence of the fundamental virtues in the ris- ing generation, those virtues that are developed through the hard school of experience with life that holds the necessity to work and to sacrifice. Industry, integrity, hon- or, consideration for the rights of others, these do not grow where there is every opportunity for self indulgence, where there is lacking the spur to work that ambition applies. Conditions today are unfavorable for the development of the real virtues of character because of the false standards that have been set up as a result of the war and the bad habits that we developed dur- ing that period. Money easily and quickly acquired, the evidence of dishonor in high places, the sense of greater importance of self over one's fellows, extravagance in spending and in indulgence in pleasures not always wholesome, these are some factors that have brought about the weakening of chezgeter in this unsetucd time. No longer does the fear of Hell compel obedience to the ~~ _al code. No longer 1s there a public opinion that refuses to countenance wrong- doing. No longer is there the rec- ognition of responsibility for the spiritual welfare of children as the compelling element in the relation between parent and child. How we are to make good the loss is not yet apparent. Perhaps we are to find that the young people of today are working out their own salvation in very fact. We shall see as the years go on. Whether the boys and girls of today will see the weakness in the training within the home and make good the loss to their children, we also shall see. We can only hope, and hoping, perhaps, inspire respect in the youth of today for the virtues that seem to be departing from us. EW For a generation the children of the public schools of the United States have been given instruction of fairly scientific accuracy, con- cerning the effect of alcohol upon human tissue. Today that teaching is being continued, but it should be supplemented by other if there is to be the greatest good accom- plished towards the strengthening of public opinion in the matter of the value of the Eighteenth Amend- ment. Early training in the essen- tial quality of observance of the law, respect for law and order, should be a part of the teaching of the pub- lic schools to the end that the chil- dren of today who are struggling with the rudiments of education shall grow into men and women who will look upon the observance of the law as a thing to be expected of decent citizens, and will consider violation of it as an evidence of bad citizenship worthy of immediate and severe punishment. Tolerance of wrong doing is quite a different thing from the charity that seeks the redemption of the evildoer. It is a distinction that should be im- pressed upon children from the very beginning of their mental and moral development. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, - JUNE 10, 1922 VACATION Soon the vacation period will be- gin, the weeks of the year in which there is the minimum of activity in useful pursuits, and the maximum of activity for fun. The people of the city go to the country, where, by the way, there is little of the vacation atmosphere about life for those who live there. It is rather an interesting circum- stance that the people who have worked hardest and are in greatest need of the vacation are, generally speaking, those who do not get it. It is the leisure ciass, the women and children whose duties are ex- ceedingly light, who find it possible to spend the summer months in idleness. The men of the summer vacationists are compelled, and in most instances content, to have the two weeks play time. Certainly it is good for children of the city to get into the open air and to enjoy the freedom of the country for a part of the year. But it is not necessary and should not be the practice that they spend the whole of the time doing nothing. There are so many things that are impossible during the crowded days of the school season. The summer offers the time for learning those things that every girl and every boy ought to learn. And incident- ally there would be a greater en- joyment of the summer, a readier mind to take up the work of the school year in the autumn.

"Station to Station" Long-Distance Service Get acquainted with the money and time saving "'station to station" long-distance telephone service. This service is a long-distance connection between any two telephones (including private branch exchange switchboard operator) as distinguished from a con- nection between individuals. Under "station to station' rates a charge for a message 1s made where a connection is established with anyone at the called station. If when giving an order for a long-distance call you are willing to talk with anyone who answers the distant telephone, just call by number, if you know it, or by name of subscriber or firm if you do not, and tell the operator you will talk to anyone who answers. This service is quicker and about twenty-five per cent cheaper than "person to person' service. Get acquainted with our "station to station" serv- ice and save time and money.
