SOME SOUND ADVICE rpHE Topeka Journal recently gave some good advice to parents which we can most headtily commend to our readers. This advice is in line with that frequently given by us concern ing co-operation between parents and teachers. Omaha is striving to bring teachers and parents into the closest sympathy and understanding on the problems arising in the important matter of education. What Omaha is doing along this line, no doubt, other cities in which The Monitor has read ers is also striving to do. Here are the questions proposed and the advice given by the Journal. Read them thoughtfully and act upon the sug gestions: 1. Do you visit the school to in quire about your child’s progress and deportment and to see if you can help the teacher to help the child? 2. Do you encourage your child in respect for teachers and others in au thority ? 3. Do you send your child to bed on time so that he will be rested and fit for study ? 4. Do you provide plain, nourish ing food and see that your child is up I in time to eat a good breakfast ? 5. Do you teach your child to read I the papers and find out the best in | them, and do you encourage an inter est in public affairs? 6. Do you avoid gossip and the telling of incidents which may be mis interpreted by your children ? 7. Do you encourage helpful con versatmn at table? 8. Do you interest yourself in your child’s sports and amusements and friendships? f). Do you comply with the rules of public health in your home and do you | keep in mind the fact that w'hile the school may do much to instill right principles, your children are handi capped if you do not support it, by instilling obedience and high ideals of patriotism and personal life? ENCOURAGING rpH E excellent showing made by can didates of our race in various sec r;ons of the country in the recent elec ‘ions is most encouraging. It is dem ■>nstrating the fact that our group is developing strength in the politica "ield which must ultimately be recog dzed. Weary of seeking appointive ositions at the hands of successful 'nndidates, who almost invariably foi get us as soon as they are elected, our own candidates are filing and taking heir chances with the general elector te at the polls. That in Virginia ov er 25,000 votes were polled for John Mitchell, Jr., for governor and an eq ■allv large vote for other candidates in the same ticket is quite significant. Enually significant, although from mother angle, is the election of At-1 ‘oraey John W. Smith, as an alder nan in New York City on the demo cratic ticket; and the highly compli mentary vote given Harris and Rob rts in the same city for similar offi ces on the Republican ticket. Here and there throughout the country oth er candidates were successful. The act that the showing of so many can didates has been so good is most en couraging. MAKING SENTIMENT ^TE as a people should never lose an opportunity of making favora ble sentiment. We can do this by al ways being on our good behavior and showing evidence of good breeding. The discriminating public will be quick to recognize the difference be tween a rowdy and a gentleman. It is not an unwise thing to remember the injunction of Holy Writ, “A soft answer tumeth away wrath.” Let nothing be wanting upon your part to help create a favorable sentiment on behalf of our people. WHAT EDITORS SAY Armistice Day Armistice Day is here to stay. Ev ery year, this country will lay aside the daily task whatever its character, and celebrate the one day that means so much universally to the nations dedicated to the program of perpetual peace. The Negroes of this country must •lot forget the true significance ofi Armistice Day. The day means some thing to them, if they are Americans. The Draft Law included them as Americans. The generals of the al lied armies looked upon them and used them as American soldiers. They were declared to be fit Americans for the common cause. Their country sent them forth as Americans. Whv, then, since we are Americans,! should we not participate in all things American. We ought to see to it that • e participate in Armistice Day as long as the day is observed. Wej should never allow the Day to be eele ' rated without our presence in the line of march. The tendency is to re ain out of line. We shall not discuss the cause of that tendency. But suf fice to say that the failure of the Ne gro to oc the fruits of the much nreached Democracy has cooled his respect for the preachment. He is naturally dubious of any strange nreachments. This is perfectly hu ian. Any other group would do the very same thing. Rut this disappointment in Demac ••acv must not lessen our interest in dl things national and international. 1 We are citizens, and as such we must ’•eep pace with our country. What ever Armistice Day means to any oth •• American, it must mean that same thing to us. Whatever any other Americans get out of Armistice Day, ■ a must get that same thing. If we '•-red the death and destruction that eve birth to the Armistice, we must whatever benefits that come to world by a proper celebration of ‘he Day in the coming years. The armistice was our armistice. The is our day. The celebration is for •t and must be by us. Get in line his year; get in line next year; stay line through all the years until the observing millions know that the Ne ro had'and held his place In the fields of battle; and he will have and hold •is place in the line of march>for in -•rnationa] peace.—The Pittsburgh tPa.)
