WHY NOT HEX!' NOT KNOCK
As u;i t have Urn expected, the letter oi the nigh school
board and faculty t" students ami parents has called forth some
adverse criticism. The letter said nowhere thai it applied I
Students or parents, and. in fact, stated that it did not: but r
was nothing therein contained which could 11 l lie read with bench t,
if only f od fur thought, 1 an) parent of a Ih i r girl o
school age. Specific charges in known cases would "stir
up" unduly and would greatly harm anj lxi r girl in ol ed .
the condition is widespread, rat i onl in this high school bui in high
.schools throughout the country, the Ixiard and faculty did the .
thing by handling -the matter as thej did. It is the dut
parent to "take stock" and find out if the criticisms ap to
her or to the children under his or her c ntrol.
One reply to the letter appears in today's I;rf.i "radi
Tot rnaI. in another column. The writer is entitled to his in i
in general, but si me of the uunnalilied statements made are ulterlv
without foundation and are unjust. Made as the are ;
truths, they may be accepted as admitted facts bj some whi ilo
care to investigate. What possible foundation can there be for the
statement. "The present todaj parentship naisi be superior I 1 thai
in the past"? It is either an extretnel) egotistical statemenl and m
insult to his own parents, or he was very unfortunate in his fore
liears. The statement that "the successful work in the high school
depends directly on the morale and sch ol fellowship and deal
taught and instilled by the faculty and the superintendent," is that
of the class of parents who ;ire largely responsible f r the condition.
Hiey would shjrk the proper m- r.d training of their children
the teachers in public schools and casl upon them the odium it thctr
children go wrong. Teachers ma) have an influence, bi . the ;noral
training and hih ideals should be taught in the h me. W hy the
larse number of nuoil fail to carrv
in the letter, and anyone who has given the matter much sew us it
tention knows that the letter understated rather than enlarged upon
the facts.
'l lu- statement thai
lie nresent
other absolute misstatement oi fact. Anyone who know-; anything
about the makeup oi the board the gentlemen who compose it
knows how utterly absurd such a -tatemeni must be. Because th
hoard fighl their battles among themselves and arrive at decision;
h which they all stand, and because they work in harmony fi r th
good of the school, many pei le win arc always looking for frictlOl
and trouble conclude one master mind dominate- the whole hoard
A large pan i f their gootl work is thai thej don. t air their disagree
ments in public but decide as a whole what is needed ami work t
that end.
The implied objection to military training, the uniform, dis
cipline, etc., is best answered by the great physical impri vement 11
the scholars during the pas! few years. The greatest educators o!
the countrv favi r them all: they may noi be wise, but they fool
jjix d many people.
If the conditn n mentioned affected Ottawa alone, mere imgnt
be some ground for singling out the Ottawa teachers and superin j
tendent for criticism, bui the condition unfortunately is one which
;s larowlv nffevaleni and widesinvad. Thev are fiehtitlB the same
battle in ChicaRo. Cleveland, Danville and mam i titer cities, and all I
are calling upon parents to aid in
as the letter is accept

CALLING IN VICTORY BONDS.
The Secretary of the Treasury, acting within hi
issued a call for the redemption of the Victory bom
and three-fourths per cent, interest. I
issued by the government after the close
soon fi llowed by a second series lieanng tour and a quarter per c
interest. Of the first series there are alxiui $4f)0,0OO,000 otttsta
ing on which the final installment of interest will be payable J
15th. It is on ( r before that date that the treasury department
quires that the bonds shall he presented for redemption, or il
presented all interest will cease on thai date. I hey
intended to run until May, 1923, but the gt vernment
the riht tO redeem at its pleasure, which privilege is ti
cised. The commercial value of the ictory lionds,
Til-riv honds which nreceded them, has !vn
vancing from away below par until now fi. th issues ol the
bonds have arrived at sHghtly above, par. The holders of tl
tv bonds, however, must still experience a loss in case the

for them in "doing their bit" to meet the exigencies oi the v
the Liberty honds been worth the full amount that was
them. But, like the Victory honds, which likewise suffered a de- day may put n
preciation, they will ultimately be jyorth their mil face value. '
Tt is very probable that the second series of ictory horn's, the ltl. , ,,, ..,
