1 THE INDEPENDENT ) October 1, 1925. A_ BIBLE THOUGHT!' Ta —for today— p I [ Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove a [ priceless heritage in after years. E k A’El 7 — - tr-’ L | THERE IS NO MAN that hath | power over the spirit to retain the । spirit; neither hath he power in the I day of death; and there is no dls- | charge in that war.—Ecclesiastes i S: S. CROWDED SCHOOLS I From many cities the report | comes, since the opening of the fall )2? ,n ’ tl,at l * ie ^hools are crowded. 1 here are no doubt a number of school rooms where the teachers | are handicapped by having to look i alter too many pupils. In many I crowded cities, there is a really de- | plorable condition of things in cer- | lain buildings, where children are । c.amoring for seats, and where different groups have to alternate in a part* time use of a building. I While it is somewhat unusual for children to be turned awav because . । no seat can be found for them in a ; sc bool. yet it happens in the great majority of towns that too many T children are crowded into some of •he rooms. If the school authorities were asked how many pupils a teacher ought to be held responsible for, they I would probably say that to get ) wholly satisfactory results, it would be desirable to limit the number in one room to around 30. Hut they might express themselves as fairly well satisfied if there are not more than 40 In a room. But rooms in which 50 pupils are loaded on a । teacher s back are not uncommon. Even with 40 children, it must keep a teacher guessing every minute to keep those youngsters all working. A near riot may start in the southeast corner, while she is trylpg to make an examTh* clear to some dullard in the northwest sec 1 tion. It makes a very considerable de--1 mand on a person’s pow» r of lead . ership. to try to get 40 or more young people to do something for , five or more hours dally that they do not much want to do. While our people do not want to see school expenses Increase unreasonably, they will as time toes on see that gains can be made f n school work if the attempt is made grad,l ually to reduce the number of ehll.l- - that a teacher Is supposed to handle. FIRE HIKI ENTION J The loss from tires has been the ' heaviest known in Matory during recent months. The president has once more asked the j-eople t o consider this matter through the week October 5-10. as a Fire Prventlon v\ eek. " hile (he fire losses are somet ing astounding, they would probably have been much worse if no propaganda had been carried on against them. The great trouble is that the American people are fundamentally careless about many things Millions of them see in to look at caution with contempt. The wav manv of them drive automobiles shows the streak of recklessness that runs through their temperament. The feeling exists that it is too much work and bother to avoid nazards. “We should worry,” has almost become the national motto. Take a chance,’" is also a favorite slogan. The careful prudence as the result of which the old timers built up substantial homes and comfortable maintenance, is looked on wifi contempt by many. But that spirit is bound to get People into trouble. They may not always set their buildings afire, but they will do something equally reckless that will cost them heavily in one of many ways. One thing that promotes fires is that so many people rent the property that they occupy Instead of owning it. When people’s own property is at stake, they are more likely to realize the necessity of protecting it from hazards. Rut If the property belongs to someone else they may not have that same careful watch over sources of’peril. We all have to pay for these careless habits. The cost of insuring property has to be added, in figuring how much rental a property must bring. A considerable sum could be saved to evpty family, if the American people would decide that from now on tiey would exercise reasonable care to prevent fires. PERILS OF THE STREET The narrow escape which President Coolidge had some days ago from being hit by an automobile. | suggests that from the highest in the land, to ‘he littlest kidlet that toddles across the street, we are all in danger from this modern peril. I The hazard is not confined to ’ crowded cities like Washington. : Drivers often run so rapidly through the centers of small towns, that such I former resorts of safe seclusion now share the risks of the great city. Every new advance in ci zi'.ization biings new dangers. Condition; were 1 very much safer in the days before railroads, when about the only ; known peril of transportation was : the risk of runaway horses. Tn I those quiet ol<d times, there could have been but very little to scare a horse of ordinary mental compel- ' ence. No pieces of newspaper blowing around in the breeze to make them kick up their heels and climb the fence. Electricity brought a new set of hazards. But w hen automobiles ' came, the quiet and peaceful country road, in which amiable nags used to jog along while their drivers went to sleep in peaceful wnr- , ity, has now become a race track. 1 in which the speeders- care little for their own safety or anyone else's. I The citv and town street has be-1 come a kind of modified railroad track. In many locations it is not much saf'w crossing the street than it. would be to use the path of the Express trains as a sidewalk. This peril will always exist. The neop’e >f Indiana must learn to meet it. They will be likely to conclude ’list t’tp r a nnlo who use the streets for the operation of those powerful machines, must be subject to rather I searching tests, and must expect to

lose this privilege if they manifest a lack of regard for the rights of the public. KEEPS THE HOME FIRES BURNING. Radio has become almost a household requisite. Nothing has done more to promote the home-loving instinct than the ever growing popularity of this great pleasure-giving and educational invention. From this one may fairly reason that wherever the installing of ra<dio sets is on the increase the home-lov- ! ing instinct is certainly not on the wane. And, since the broadcast pro- ’ gram is essential a thing to be enjoyed by the family circle, it is to the family circle the radio will cater. , I Seldom has the human demand J for novel entertainment found so admirable a combination As the call for more radio service grows, ; ■ so also grows the attraction of the ’ 1 home. And as the attraction of the ’ home becomes stronger, so the call for better broadcast programs becomes more insistent. i Everything tends to make the tadio influence a wellspring of good. So excellent a caterer to all that is most desirable in promoting true human happiness certainly deserves the very best of the public to whom it ministers STI DENT WAITERS > One way by which a large nuiui ber of voting people are obtaining ' an education, is by waiting on the table at the dining halls in thege - Institutions. It is a sign of the good > I American spirit that prevails In most whools, that no discredit or , loss of dignity seems to attach to these young people who are thus earning their way. Some snobbish , । etudents may be less inclined to take such ones into their circles, but a.s a rule student sentiment r>«ems ।to respect those who are fighting their own way. Students who have these duties to perform mav not find time for all the social activities that the test enjoy. But the «illlngnes- to work Indicates that a young person is eager for education, and his chance* In the world wmid seem quite as good a* the one to whom everyt' inz Is handed free. Also you admire those who take up some practical task that needs to be done, rath r than trying to sell things to people that th«v do not want RFUEfTED STI DENTS Many of the college are turning away voting iwople bv t •• hundred । who desire the higher education, and the majorlt> of whom could , probably pass the examinations । without conditions Yet these youn • people should । not feel they are denied education , There are plenty of good Institutions to which they can go. These place* . mav not have famous Instructor^ But they have many Inspiring teachers who can do a great deal to give a young jwrson the right start in Jba world I The attitude of the -umb nt counts ; more than the genius of the teacher. One who Is eager to learn will make more progress under Ji. r an ■ ordinary teacher, than an ‘ipilfT rent pupil will under the guidance of the brilliant genius -PunchettesStealing Our Thunder. .

Various fishermen nave reported seeing the monster during । the past week. Some state that the monster is fifty feet long and others 'say it appears to be 100 feet long. All agree that it is of lurid hue and disports itself noisely and vigorously in the water and that the head of the monster is about three feet long ' and stands distinctly out of the water. People have gotten so worked up about the lake that bathing has come almost to a stop, according to the rumors.” At The General Store Stranger “Would you mind telling me. who is that man over there?” Native—“ That’s Bill Simpkins—and we folks in this town think him the laziest man in the world.” Stranger—“Well —he can’t be the < laziest man— else he would either I get up or sit -down—instead of holding himself in that position on his hands.” | Native — “You’re wrong there, stranger.

" 1 " - ] MAKE COW PAY YOU WAGES HINT CO INDIANA FARMER I 1 . Careful Checkup On Cows Reveals Much. ‘‘Watch the pay envelope your cow brings in. if it’s bigger returns 1 you are after.” To find out exactly ■ the wages per hour that each cow is ’ paying for the labor and care expended on her, it is merely neces--1 eary to deduct the total expenditures from the total receipts of each cow and divide the difference by • the number of hours of labor expended on her during the year. On one of four neighboring farms where careful records had been kept it was brought tcf light that not only did he farmer receive no wages for the time spent on his cows but that it actually c.ost him 12.7 cents an hour each to have them hang around his place. In the other three instances, the farmers w'ere paid at the rate of 6.4, 42.1, and 4 8.3 cents per hour for the time and labor spent on each of the!” cows. The two lots of cows bringing home fattest pay envelopes were better bred than the others, although the right kind of feed and better care would have done much toward making the others iprofitable employes. The amount of butterfat | I produced annually by each of the | | cows was found to have a direct re- 'I | lation to the number of hours of I । labor and the care which the}’ re- j I I ceived, in each instance the animals 1 1 i with better care producing the great- II | est income. | i It is a costly error for the farmer 1 1 I who uses family labor to assume that whatever the cow produces is | all to the good. He should not be | satisfied until his careful record keeping indicates that he is receiving at least current wages for his efforts. Tim record "will further point out to him the unprofitable . members of his herd, and these he j should aim tj replace witlh animals I that will produce on an average of j 250 to 32 5 pounds of butterfat each I year. With the non-iproducers cut i , out and the good stock left put on I I balanced rations an ( d given proper : • care, there will be no reason whv | the farmer should not receive a full pay envelope from each cow in his dairy herd. Some June graduated who were j wont to tell the world where it got ‘ off are now getting back to normal- . I cy. The Omaha Bee figures that the energy a woman expends in trying to swim the English channel would darn 45G.233 socks. Some free verse we’ve tried i I reatd is dear at that. • >
