Fathers' Association of High

by Subscriptions

The Fathers' Association .of the
Frnnkferd High Scheel proposes te add
540,000 te the already existing fund
used te give scholarships te Frankford
students for the leading colleges; nnd
universities of the country.
This plan was promulgated nt n
meeting held last ulght In the school
gymnasium. At the present time the
association has five scholarships, which
nre awarded te graduates at the Feb
ruary and June commencements. The
plan of the association is te raise the
proposed $10,000 by subscriptions from
the 000 members of their organization.
This additional fund will enable the
association te grant one mere scholar
ship In February and probably eeveral
mere In the spring.
The proposed development of activi
ties In regard te scholarships was out
lined by llenjamln Thorpe, chairman of
the scholarship committee, In n report.
lie declared that hcieafter the nssocln nssecln nssocln
tien will lend financial assistance te
pupllu, who otherwise would have te
abandon their htudles before complet
ing their high school education.
A feature of the meeting was nn ad
dress by Chnrles H. Carpenter. In a
discussion of "Individualism vs. So
cialism," he said the world is suffering
from tee much theory nnd extremism,
nnd there is n woeful Inck of geed com
mon vense nelicenblc. He vigorously
nttneked socialism, likening it te quack
cure-nil medicines. He said employers
of labor aie largely te blame for the
tendency toward socialistic principles
in this country.
"If the employers would put truth
and justice beside the pay envelope they
would get better results," he said.
Mr. Carpenter also attacked acts of
