“KNIT TO FIT” WAS A FINE ADDRESS

Address By Geo. N. Bunlie Before Jasper County Sunday School Association. A practical discussion of the needs of the pupils of all ages in the Sunday school was given Thursday afternoon at the first session of the annual Sunday school convention by State Superintendent Geo. Burnie, of Indianapolis. Using as the title of his talk the catchy phrase “Knit to Fit,” he pro- ■ -ceded to state the needs of the individual fj - oni childhood to maturity, and to emphasize the importance of the teachers knowing the predominating characteristic of each stage of child growth and fitting the teaching methods ‘to particular need of each stage. As an introduction and illustration, the speaker noted the fact that in early life as he observed his mothei knitting he noticed that she not only knit to construct an article, but when she called him and tried the article on, that he was made aware of the fact that it was made especially to fit him. The people of the state spend annually thirty millions of dollars to fit their bodily needs. They spend much in addition to fit their intellectual needs and it is only logical to .conclude that we should make a greater effort to fit our spiritual needs, which Is the great task for the Ctiurch. The teacher who fails to study the needs of his class ignores God’s plans, for he has created human beings in such a way that only by_ fitting our teaching methods to their needs at each stage of their, development can tjiey become what he intended. The teachers of. classes of beginners were told that at this period the child is passionately fond of stories and that the story told is much more effective than the story read and on this account the graded' lessons are far superior to the uniform lessons as they are made up entirely of appropriate stories shownig the love and care of God for his own creations. The primary teacher was informed that her pupils in addition to possess-, ing the characteristics above noted, loved to dramatizje—what he knows. Play in all infant life serves to prepare the individual to live. No two animals engage in the same kind of play, but each plays in a way that will best fit it to fill its future place in the world. —Children are no exception ami when they hear a story they love to play the various characters in it. When they are told the story of the good shepherd who went far to find the one sheep that had strayed from the fold, they will be greatly impressed if they are allowed to play . hat they are sheep in a fold and the one who strays away is rescued by the teacher impersonating the Good Shepherd. The teachers of both these grades must cultivate the art of story telling. The mother, too, has an opportunity to implant lasting impressions on the plastic mind of her little ones by using the bedtime hour for story telling. Two books that were recommended for this purpose were “How to Tell Stories,” by Miss Bryant, and cries and Story Telling,” by E. P. St. John. . The junior age is the period when the child is a hero worshiper and biography appeals to him. It is therefore the age when the great characters of the Bible make their strongest appeal. The intermediate student is forming opinions that will stay with him through life and this is the great decisive time. Eighty per cent of.those who belong to the church have joined at this period of their life. The teacher of this and the senior classes have a great opportunity to help the pupils of these ages to make ngnt decisions. » Teachers of adult calsses suffer tor the neglect of their predecessors. Their classed often have not formed habits of study, and often refuse to use their “thinkers.” The method employed must depend on the type of teacher. Every Sabbath school teacher m the county should have heard this splendid exposition of the most urgent need of the.present day Sunday ' school, namely, the need of better qualified teachers. While there are many well trained teachers m the Sunday schools of the county, there are many others who have had no special training for this very important work and who are making no effort to acquire such a training on this account much of the work is me - fective and frequently harmful. Let us see to it then that the work we do “fits.” '

THE PEOPLE FOR PROTECTION.

Maine farmers voted against Mr. Taft four years ago because they did not Kke his proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada. They came out in* force the other day to the primaries to vote for the republican ticket because they feared that under democratic tariff tinkering Canadian food products might be admitted free and without reciprocity anangements that would mitigate the offense slightly. /American farmers, like American manufacturers, believe in the policy of protection. They indicated their convictions over in Illinois by their vociferous applause when Mr. Hughes laid it down as one of the firm principles of his party. Free trade, “tariff for revenue only,” for years the sacred shibboleth of the democratic party, is even becoming a subject of which its members fight shy. Since the democratic congress restored the duty on sugar and voted a protective tariff on dyestuffs the brethren have become sensitive in regard to the question. It is even reported that President Wilson has been so influenced by the sentiment in favor of protection that he is seriously thinking of taking a favorable attitude toward tariff revision on this basis. He would take the position, it is said, that the European war has so changed conditions that a tariff system may be desirable for the United States. Mr. Wilson has changed his views so often and so radically, especially in directions where votes might be reached, that it need not greatly surprise the country if he should execute this tremendous flop. He could, of course, carry has party with him, great though the shock might be to the faithful; foi without Mr. Wilson there would be no democratic party this year. As it exists at present it is simply a tail to his kite; its fortunes are pinned to him. If he-should say “thumbs u p”__in other words, “a protective tariff for us” —up the thumbs would go. It is a great world, men and brethren, and many amusing things happen in it in campaign times.

WATCH YOUR STEP.

Irvin S. Cobb, the well known and some times humorous author, speaks of a journlaist hero of his, in a current magazine, as being “as proud as Potiphar.” . Since he signed that catechism ot thirty-seven democratic authors which has brought from Mr. Hughes no more response than Mexico gave to President Wilson’s demand for a salute, Mr. Cobb seepis to have lost his grip on Bible history. Mr. Potiphar, as we recall him, had nothing to be proud of. He became famous because of his wife’s efforts to make Joseph a co-respondent. Possibly Mr. Cobb means Lucifer. Lucifer was an angel who was in right at one time, but got so proud of himself that his foot slipped, landing him in hell. This ought to be a warning to Mr. Cobb, who has achieved such a reputation as a humorist that he is beginning to consider himself a.statesman.

DEMOCRATIC PAPER RA. S ADAIRS SPEECH

Says Democratic Candidata Makes Mistake In Not Having Specific Program-Praises Goodrich Speech. (From Indiana Forum, -Democratic) Mr. Adair, in our opinion, makes the mistake of seeking office on Ralston’s record without offering a specific program of his own for future policies. This fault can not be charged to Goodrich. He has given a very definite outline of some of the things he wishes to do. He not only declares for tax reform, but "he Intimates the kind of reform he will seek and how he will seek it. He says definitely that he will favor a budget system; he not only declares for retrenchment in expenses arising out of unwise employment of men in various departments of government, but he indicates the locality to which he proposes to apply the axe and in these his address cannot help but make a strong impresslon on the thoughtful citizen. Adair’s keynote address is disappointing insofar as it fails to give the public a definite statement of what he proposes to do once in office.

LITTLE BITS OF INDIANA POLITICS

Q. —What is scarcer than Chink policemen? Ans.—lndiana Progressives who intend to support the Democratic party. Registration day will fall on Oct. 9. Don’t forget that your name must be on the registration lists before you can vote at the November election. The Democratic machine will miss the efforts of Donn M. Roberts and his associate’ballot thieves this year. No one knows how many thousands of illegal votes that Terre Haute outfit placed in the ballot boxes for the relief of the Democratic organization during recent campaigns. Figures, ordinarily, do not make interesting reading, but it has remained for James P. Goodrich, Republican candidate for Governor, to find an exception to that rule. In his speech at Greencastle on August 24, Mr. Goodrich pointed to many interesting tables showing Democratic inefficiency, but probably none stands out as boldly as his showing of the saving that the taxpayers of Indiana would have enjoyed had the state’s affairs been administered during the last three years as efficiently as they were under the last four years of Republican rule. He points out, and rightly, that in the last three years $1,497,475.48 could have been saved if the state’s affairs had been conducted efficiently. More than a million dollars is a pretty price to pay for inefficiency, promises and mismanagement!

“Let us not underestimate the , strength of our opposition.” —John A. M. Adair in his Democratic keynote speech at Fort Wayne. I If every sentence uttered by him gave his party such good advice, what a political sage he would be! 1 —F— I The question of salary increases for the term for which an official is elect-, ed is hammered down-'and clinched by James P. Goodrich. Without any Ifs or ands or any sidestepping whatever, he proposes to submit a constitutional amendment forbidding the increase of salaries of office holders for ( the term for which they were elected. He does not propose a statute on ffie subject that could be passed by one Legislature and replaced by the next, but he proposes to put it in the constitution, which can not be repealed without much difficulty. “No man can offer a plausible or sensible reason why our party should not be continued in power both in state and nation.” —John A. M. Adair,' Democratic candidate for Governor. | Your party, sir, increased Salaries and created new offices and new, boards which is now costing the people of Indiana $275,000 a year. Under the managemnt of your party the per capita cost of maintaining the state’s charitable and correctional institutions jumped from $167.78 to $207.87, and your party has placed undeserving Democrats on the state’s pay roll without justification. Ifthese reasons pre not “plausible or sens : ible,” undoubtedly Mr. Goodrich will be able to find plenty that ARE “plausibe and sensible.” Speaking of efficiency in public offices, here are more interesting figures obtained by Mr. Goodrich from the state’s official record: One institution paid $4.60 a barrel for flour, and another institution paid $6.90 a barrel for the same commodity. In a given month one institution paid sl2 a hundred pounds for WHOLE BEEVES, and another institution paid sll a hundred pounds FOR FORE (QUARTERS. With this slipshod business method, is it any wonder that the voters of Indiana have made up their minds on what they intend to do at the next- election? “The fact Js, we have lost more (business because of the war than we have gained by reason of the war,” says Mr. Adair in defending the Democratic tariff. That seefns hardly “plausible br sensible,” Mr. Adair, but when the battle of November 7 is fought the official reports -will show that the losses suffered by the Democrats in this political war will be ••replete and irretrievable. s

His Decision

“Business must have gone very well today/’ volunteered old Mrs. Thrifty, hanging fondly over her son’s easy chair. “What —eh—oh, yea; business was splendid to —now what have you got me saying mother? Business was wretched today!’’ “But something has surely gone well with you?” “Something has gone exceedingly well, mother. I have decided to get married.” “Why have you kept it secret?’’ “I haven't kept anything secret, mother. I did not decide until today.” “Who is she?’’ “If you had said, ‘Which is she?’ I could have come nearer answering. It is to be either Florence or Alice Halstead. I would also be considering their sister, but that she is already married.” “Those Halstead girls right down there on the next block? Oh, you cannot be serious. They are so frivolous, so flighty. You’ve said it yourself.” “I wronged them. They did impress me as silly, gigling, rattle brained kids; but I saw them at the railway station today, and they changed my opinion of them. A train came in and a woman was brought from it into the station on a stretcher. A man in cheap and patched clothing walked beside the stretcher and carried in his arms a very young baby, which looked as if it might have inherited some of the illness of its mother; its little face was wrinkled and emaciated and pitiful. It looked to be a hundred years old in suffering and —” “Oh, Philip!’’ “Yes and the stretcher was no soon er at rest than out of the great indifferent throng in the station the two Halstead girl§ and their married sister sifted themselves. In spite of the richness of her close fitting skirt the married sister went down to her knees beside the stretcher and slipped her arm beneath the head of the ailing u oman, when Alice rushed away for a glass of water, and Florence took the suffering baby from the arms of its father and dug up a nursing bottle and a can of milk from somewhere In his luggage, and rushed away to goodness knows where and got the bottle sterilized and filled with nourishment —” “Did they do all that Philip! And for some one whom they did not know?” “Yes! Some country doctor had ordered the woman to the city for medical treatment and the husband and father had brought her without making a single arrangement for her reception; but we—they—the girls looked after everything; called an ambulance, arranged to have the woman taken to a sanitarium. They thought of everything except themselves, miss ed their train and most certainly bagged their skirts at the knee ’’ “And what did you do?” “Who me? Absolutely nothing except to arrange for the care of the baby during the illness of the mother.’’ “That was nothing, of course. I am all at sea, Phillip. I have always thought no girl on earth was good enough for you, and here all at once come three girls good enough for the best man that ever lived. Have you no preference?” “None at all, mother, dear; but as one of them is married, and as Florence wears an engagement ring, I may marry Alice if she’ll let me.”

Fable of a Fairy.

Once upon a time there was a good little girl. And this good little girl asked her mother if she could go and play in the woods, and her mother said yes. So she went to play in the woods. And she was walking along and walking along, and what do you think she met? A fairy! And she was awfully surprised to meet a fairy, so she said to. the fairy: “Where do you come from?” And the fairy said: “This is where I live.” And the little girl said: “I never heard about any fairies living in these woods.’’ And the fairy said: “No, because nobody ever saw me here before. But you are a good little girl, so I let you see me.” And the good little girl said: “How do you manage to be seen by nobody, even tho they walk right pas’ you every day?” And the fairy said: "I lend them money.”

Plentiful.

The old man was sitting in front of his lonely. cabin in. the.... Tennessee mountains. “Them roads is vile with automobyles,” he remarked as the visitor drew rein in the deeply rutted road. “Why, do many come up here? asked the surprised horseman. “Many? Why, stranger, I don’t be lieve there air a week but what one goes by,” said the old man. Life.

A Regular Plotter

“What makes you so anxious for Si Sinlin to be a candidate for office? H< never was such ( a great friend o’ yours.” •“I know it,” replied Farmer Comtek sei. “Si’s been gettln’ along altogether tee quiet .and easy. I want to see him trotted but and put in line fur a lickin’."

MORE HOOSIERS NOW ON PATROL DUTY

Crawfordsville and Spencer Companies Will Leave For Llano Grande For Outposts. Llano Grande, Tex., Sept. 21.—Two more Indiana organizations, the Crawfordsville and Spencer companies, will go to the Rio Grande today to begin patrol and outpost duty along the border line. One company ■will be stationed at Champion’s Store and the other at the pumping station, six miles south of Donna. They will make the trip, a distance of 12 miles, in thirteen big army motor trucks. The two companies will receive their supplies from this camp, a mule train making the trip every other day. Lieut. Herman A. Collins, of the Terre Haute company, was in camp from theMefceclCS pumping station and reported all members of his company in excellent health and- spirits. He reported fishing in the. Rio Grande as good and that doves, the killing of which is now permitted by the game laws, have been a part of the mess several times. Lieuts. Emert Shields and Ernest Clark, battalion adjutants of the Second Indiana, are interested in theproposed organization of an aerial company as a unit of the Indiana guard, and they have made preparations to attend the U. S. aviation training school. It is expected that other members of the Indiana guard will apply for transfer to the aerial company, if it is organized. There is a certain fascination about the military life and especially attachment- for the Indana camp that seems irresistable. Private Leslie Hanawalt, of tfie Monticello company, Third Indiana, returned today after a twenty-day furlough. “I had a longing for the camp within a few days after I got back. I was glad enough to be home, yet I felt that I should be here as long as the rest of the boys are here.” The mercury soared to an even 100 yesterday, but there is a certain exhilaration imparted by the present brand of weather, because the relative humidity just now is lower than it has been all summer. There is a feeling of life in the atmosphere, now that the muggy dampness of the last several weeks has been driven away by dry air. While the days are hov? the nights call for the heavy army blankets.
