X THE CIPHER COUNTS gUBMERGED, subordinate or minor individuals, groups, races and na tions are largely regarded by their dominant opposites as ciphers. The cipher, as you doubtless know, is the numerical character or sign which, when standing by itself, expresses zero or nothing, but when placed at the right hand of a digit or whole. number increases the value of that integer tenfold. Take, for example, the number “1”. Standing by tself it equals one. It always has and al ways will. If you desire to express ten times one, the only way in which it can be done is by placing to the right of it the numeral sign “0” or, as we generally call it, the cipher. In the science of numbers one cannot get very far ,in expressing magnitude without the cipher. The cipher is es sential. The cipher has great poten tiality. The cipher counts. It depends upon its position. It is wholly a mat ter of relativity. And so it is in the realm of humanity. The backward individual, group or race whom the. more favored rather superciliously re gard as ciphers, meaning thereby of no worth, cannot be left out in cast ing up the sum of human achievement. It is absolutely impossible to express magnitude in the development of hu-1 manity without placing the human cipher on the right side of the in teger or the sum of the integers in which civilization at any stage of its development i% totaled. Moreover, it is well to bear in mind that the human cipher of today may be the integer of tomorrow. History furnishes abundant proof of this. The over throw of recent old world dynasties emphasizes this truth. "He hath put down the mighty from their seat and exalted them of low degree/' The hu man cipher must not be overlooked or neglected would the true magnitude I of human achievement in civilization be accurately expressed. The cipher counts. Its proper place is on the right side of any given whole num ber which it multiplies tenfold. Each i is absolutely essential to the other.: Apply this principle to Capital and Labor ami other rival forces and far- j tors in American life struggling for; the mastery and each believing itself sufficient unto itself and much of the unrest and disquietude, the strife and turmoil which threaten the stability • of our institutions would be speedily j modified. Which is he cipher? Which, is the integer? What does it matter so long as the one or the other does not stand alone, but supplements each the other? SCHOOL ATTENDANCE TT is very important that children should be kept in school. Regular . and punctual attendance is absolutely necessary for the child’s progress. Parents should be most particular in seeing to it that for no trivial reason j shall a child be kept at home. An-j other thing that we desire to impress upon parents is the duty of their vis iting the schools attended by heir chil- I riren and becoming acquainted with j their child’s teacher. This is a duty, that parents owe to themselves, to their children and the school. Co-1 operation between the home and the school is essential. TEDDY ROOSEVELT, JR. TB7E had the pleasure of hearing W Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., speak at | the auditorium Wednesday night, j What impressed us most was the j transparent sincerity of the man and , his whole-hearted democratic spirit so characteristic of his father. America nor fit more men of the Roosevelt wholesomeness. announcement The get-together-meeting of Mosaic Templars of America will be held with Harmony Temple, No. 4691, October 11th, at 8 o'clock.

The Monitor hopes that there will be a large attendance of our people, i It was gratifying to notice the large enrollment last year. Let it be larger ; this year.
