Just Suppose Parents Hai

to Co to School far One Week

By P. G. HOLDEN. OF all our Institutions the public school Is the most vital to the life of the nation. Again and again has history recorded the death of nations which Jailed to educate their people properly. Look at Russia. Look at Mexico. When education is wrong everything Is wrong. The schools are the eyes through which the people look Into the future. Before many years have passed the present method of teaching will be considered a crime. It is no less a crime today, but we do not realize it, because the method has been banded down through many generations, and we have come to believe it Is the right way to teach the child. If Conditions Were Reversed. It would be a fine thing if a law could be passed compelling parents to go to school for one week and let their children, take care of the home. If father and mother had to sit for six long hours in a hard, uncomfortable seat; if they couldn't look out the window; If they couldn't use their hands or their feet, or whisper or talk, or laugh or make a noise, or act natural, believe me, there would be something doing. And at noon, while the children sat down to a hot menl at home. Pa and Ma should be made to partake of cold biscuit and cold Jam and other leavings from the table, all frozen as hard as a rock. Then, maybe, they'd realize what the country boy and girl have to contend with in trying to get an education. This Is not a criticism. We are merely trying to point out bow inconsistent we are in compelling our boys and girls to endure for six or eight months whaf we wouldn't stand for a week. Place of Activity. The school of the future will not le a place of compulsory and monotonous quiet. It will be a place of activity. When the children are nt work when they are learning by doing there will be noise in the room, the same as there is at home. But it will be orderly noise, because the children will be Interested. And when the children recite they will not be restless, they will fce quiet, because they have been able to move around, to -use their arms and legs, and are rested. In the school 8 of today we too often discourage those things which make the boy or girl worth while. We should make It our business to ' discern these things in the child and develop them. These abilities may be In the way of the present-day method of teaching, but If properly directed they wili be of great and lasting value to the child. If parents were to change places with their children for one week they would get a different ' idea of ; wr arhools.

THE GEORGE: MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

"I WILL' ARISE AND QQ TO MY FATHER" In the Bible there is the story of a young man who thought that his home was not good enough for him. So he went away. He sought thrills, veneered pleasures, and "easy money" with--out working for it. The story puts it that he fed upon the rusks of the swine-herd. But the young man soon tired as all such do. He wanted to hear again the voices of home, and to eat home cooking, and to have a happy bed to sleep in. And so he decided to go back. "I will arise and go to my father," he said. His pride had been broken. He was ragged and discouraged, and bowed down. But he was not so far gone that he wa3 unable to decide to face things definitely anew. As he ncared "his home, a thrill that he had never known before came over him. His father ran out to meet him with outstretched arms. And so glad was the father to see him that he ordered the finest dinner and celebration that he could think up. "For," said he, "my boy, whom I thought was dead, is alive!" Some of the other members of the family didn't seem to like the idea of taking him back. But not the father. Which goes to prove that there is great father love as well as mother love, in the big world. But the great lesson in the story, to me, is this: Here was a young man who had made a great mistake but who still retained the courage to face life anew. Reward and glory is always ahead, if you will but decide to arise! Daily must we mend and re-construct. As we aspire, we must level our deeds with what we have gained from experience. Regrets are quite vain, indeed. But the holy desire to be right within our hearts is what counts in character building. The germ of leadership, is within all humans. But each must decide, for himself to arise! -

Is Acid-Stomach Sapping Your Strength?

Have yon any idea of the great number of ailments that are directly traceable to AcidStomach? Few people have. When they are bilious, have severe headache, or an attack of indigestion, rheumatism, lumbago or sciatica; or when they begin to feel run down and are nervous and mentally depressed; or have dizzy spells, vertigo and pains around the heart little do they think it may have its origin in an AcidStomach. You know how it is with acid-mouth bow the acid which is created as a result of (er mentation of particles of food lodged around the gums, literally eats through the enamel of the teeth and causes them to decay. How, then, can anyone expect to "feel right" when Acid-Stomach is making digestion more and more difficult, causing food to Bour and ferment in the intestinal tract, filling the system with poisons? And then there are thousands -yes, millions of people who, without having any well defined ailment, are always comp.aining. They can't say exactly what is the matter with them. All they can tell you is that they "don4eel right," are "all in, tired, sickly." Is it any wonder that there are so many people who, while not downright sick, show plainly in face, figure and action that they are anything but well? They are despondent, weak, listless, unnt. Aches and pains in practically

every part of the body. Lacking In physical strength and mental vigor. Little or no inclination to be up and doing. Just dragging out a weary existence. A wonderful remedy now makes it possible to get rid of Acid-Stomach without the slightest discomfort. It is called EATON I C a compound in tablet form good to eat like candy.
