‘, THE INDEPENDENT AR RS el D R R R } November 12, 1925. g it s e NATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK | : The week of November 16-22 has been named as National Education Week. The schools come close to the heart of the American people. You can always get up an argument by etarting some question as to how schools shall be run, so education is no mere dry subject that interests only the learned. Any family that has children and any people anxious for social and community progress, are interested in the better school problem. , | Our schools are said to be on the whole the best in the world, and vet many of them are very lacking. Even the best schools wiill admit that the training of the human personality is such an elusive problem that they have only partly mastered {t. | ' The themes of Education. Week should be taken up by civie organizations with addresses and debates, | so that the people will have some definite ideas of what can be done to promote educational progress. We ® seed more popular enthusiasm on - ' this subjeet, a vigorous belief that ~ { with more. thorough measures of p education, the efficiency and intelligence of the masses of the people would be so developed that poverty and lawlessness would mostly cease, and the country would reach a far higher level of prosperity and welfare. | ) The average citizen needs to understand educational problems bet- ‘ ter. He often thinks that school methods are impractiecal and not adanted to ordinary needs. when the , trouble mav be simply that many students are indolent and won't ; learn. Also it may be that schools | are struweling along on insufficient funds, and ecan’t afford to take up modern lines of trainine. i el e et ! Jazz Music. l | Some observers feel that mndc‘rni jazz music incites people to unde- | corous conduct, that it so affects | them that they act in away they | | would not do in soberer moments, | | Yet the remark was made by Dr.; ,van Waters of Los Angeles, a| speaker before the Child Study .\s~l _sociation at New York, that jazz hasi a very important meaning to _vmmg;z people and we should try to discover | what that meaning is. ’ , Dance music of a strongly rhythmical character has always stirred people to vigorous expression, and led them to dance in a more o\'&2"’ gerated way. Yet the volumes of old | dance music on our shelves would | show: many old melodies that led to; ~exaggerated pigeon wings. People | & | who have a keen sense of rhythm! = find it difficult to keep their feet) { still when the music plays, and the 2 more marked and svncopated it is,i the more they feel like kicking out. | If pecpdle are trained to be gentle- | men and ladies, they will not be lml! merely by jazz to do things thn_\-!‘ should be ashamed of. ! ' Much of this jazz is weak and | commonplace, a repetition of some | threadbare musical idea over :mdi over again. But some of it is regard-’ % ed by musicians as having distinetive = character, so it can not all be rv-i jected in a sweeping way. g It is up to the families to train | = their young people in such ideals nf} g conduect that they will not care to| Bl lower themselves by unsuitable do-| % ings. l = ———— E AMERICA'S SUGAR S\l«‘k‘.(;l"\ltng s The United States spends $2,000,- | = (00 a dayv for sugar, at the present g low price. All its own sugar resources E supply only one-half this quantity. ﬁi Great Britian, for centuries the = patron saint of raw-material proB qucers, it setting out to grow her @ own sugar. By 1930, it is planned = that 50 sugar factories will be in g operation in Great Britian. The M friendship of Cuba and the I'nited = States alone made it possible to % live in sugarless Great Britian durB ing the World war. It does not wish ﬁ to again be in such a position. Just = now, sugar-growving would help reg lieve the unemployment situation in M Great Britian, where 1,200,000 peo- % ple are jobless and drawing public = dole. % Our own country never made a ﬁ better investment than in its sugar factories that prevent foreign sugar = | menopoly and insure the nation against a sugar famine in case of international disturbances. it s well to encourage our own beet su~' gar industry. ————————— sttt " SATURDAY NIGHT BATH. Considerable fun is made of those old timers with whom bathing is a somewhat unusual event. Years ago it might have been considered that people had fulfilled the functions of cleanliness if they took a bath once a week. There were some negligent people whose ablutions occurred much less frequently than that. But now the doctors tell us that bathing should be a daily affair. Consequently it is not wholly satisfactory, when a survey by the American Child Health Association tells us that the average American child takes a bath only once a week. The abhorrence of the average boy for his Saturday night bath has ilong been known. He may go bathling three times a day in the hot ‘summer, when the cool and lovely | - waters of the pool make a bath an — (ingpiration. But it seems a different proposition in his own tub at home. He needs to be told that if he is going to become a strong man and athletic, he should change over that obsolete idea of his, el s e MODERN FAME The elections to the Hall of Fame of New York University give an impression as to the kind of person,ality that attracts the most admlra-l tion. In the last electior the highest vote was secured by Edwin Booth, the famous actor, while John Paul Jones, distinguished naval officer in i the Revolutionary war, had many | less votes than Booth. I It would not always have bhean iso. At one time naval and military | zlory seemed the most admirablai . thing, .and a man like Jones would ¢have been esteemed far greater than‘ 1 the greatest actor could be. ! ‘ The world will alwavs admire the i superb courage and generalship of { its military heroes. Yet it recognizes i now that the ones who rconfer the ! zreatest benefits are those who lead ;in the developmant of social progress. Thus the great actor, whose impersonations reveal human nature and @depict human eonduct in its

true light, seems a greater man than )the fameus leader of battles. | LENDING MONEY TO STUDENTS -~ The Curtis Publishing Company of Philadelphia has a plan to lend $250,000 to boys to help them go to college. One can imagine the excitement created in juvenile circles by this announcement. Boys that had longed for an educatiin, or for the stimulating experiences of a college course, will be competing actively for this opportunity. It is often felt that too many boys are going to college, since so many take such courses for social reasons, withocut much purpose on their part. But these youngsters who qualify for these loans will have definite aims, and will have had to show their purpose to make good. A boy with that background of effort and struggle is not going to fritter away his time in almless loafing and the more frivolous student activities. e e el RADIO AND HEALTH The influence of the radio, increasing as it does the pleasures of farm life in the home. is a great factor in the conservation of health. Radio service in many of the states includes broadcasting of what are known as health exercises, or doing what is known as the ‘‘Daily Dozen.” These physical exercises in the home are supplemented by sending out illustrated charts free from the broadcasting station, illustrating the application of this radio feature. The managing director of one station reports requests from more that 5,000 homes for the illustrated physical culture chart. When you consider that hundreds of stations in all parts of our couniry are sending out these health exercises, the radio as a family doctor is reaching millions of people, ———————p A t——— Rich but Unhealthy ; The climate of British Honduras is hot, moist and generally unhealthy for foreigners. The coast is, as a rule low and swampy and a large part of the interifor is covered with forests yvielding large quantities of mahogany and logwood. Over 50000 acres are under cultivation and yleld fruits, rubber, coffee, ete. The colony is administered by a governor, and has an executive and legislative council United States gold currency was adopted as legal tender in 1804. The majority of the population is composed of negroes, mulattoes and Indians. No Blare of Trumpets With the opera flourishing, and the names of prima doana figuring in all the papers, it is interesting to recall the modest announcement which hernlded the first appearance of such a lady on the British stage. It appeared in 1692, and ran as follows: “The Italian lady, just come over sea, who is so famous for her singing, will perform.” No more than that, not a word ibout her palaces, her jewels her pets, ~or her differences with other gifted ladies. No mention even of her name, Must Make Opportunity | Time and tide, the adage says, wait -for no man ; uveither does anything else that nowadays is run on schedule.

standing comedy success of the year, is an extraordinary young woman. She is generally recognized as one of the rising young stars of the American stage and her services and company are always in demand but such is

her nature that she shuns the *bright lights’ and leads a simple and unostentatious life wherever she may be. She is essentially

a home girl, being Claiborne Foster. passionately fond | of cooking, an art at which she is " very adept, and much of her leisure ‘ time is spent in the modest little kitchenette of her apartment. When not playing in some production, Miss Foster may be found at her home 2 - short (istance from New York city. where she revels in the joys of cooking for the whole famlily and her friends and spends her vacations doIng the work of the ordinary housewife. There are two dishes which are regarded with more favor by Miss Koster, than are any others. These are Bronk shrimps anil chicken en cusserole. She uses the simplest of formu- | las but insists upon the purest of ingredients, using pure butter, and evap orated milk. The recipes that she uses are: Bronk Shrimps. 3 cups shrimps, Yolks 2 eggs canned or fresh % evaporated 4 tbsp. fat m‘ % tap. salt % cup water Few grains cay- 1 tbsp. flour enne 2 tsp. lemen juice Clean the shrimps, and cook in half the fat for 2 minutes; add seasoning and lemon ; cook 2 minutes lenger. Remove shrimps and make a white sauce of the remaining fat, flour and milk; when thickened add yolks of eggs | slightly beaten, stirring in quickly and cooking two minutes; add the shrimps. Chicken en Casserole. 1 tender chicken 1 cup evaporated I for roasting milk 2 tbsp. butter 1 tbsp. chopped ‘ 2 tbsp. lard parsley : Salt and pepper 2 cups chopped 1 pint hot water mushrooms ‘ Clean chicken, split down back, and ' lay breast upward in casserole. Spread fat over breast, dust with salt and pepper, add hot water, cover closely and cook in hot oven one hour. When nearly tender put in evaporated miik. rrushrooms and parsley. Cover again. and cook 20 minutes longer. Serve hot in casserole.

After he had directed the men whe had been selected for the scene he told them to | report at the theater that evening, adding: “This scene we've rehearsed takes place in Russia, and T want all yom guys in fur overcoats.” k ‘“But I haven’t got a fur cvercoat,” proteated one of the poor acters. “That’'s none of my business,” replied the stage manager. “If you're not dressed for Russia I wer’t let you go on.” The extra arrived at the theater that night—but without a fur coat. : “Didn’t 1 tell you I wouldn’t let you | go on unless you were dressed for | Russia?” sald the manager. .' “But I've got on two suits of under- | wear,” protested the poor actor. ; e ee e ! Arrows Used by Axztecs ' The Smithsonian institution says that the South American curare (and other native names) poison for arrows concocted from stryshnos nux-vomica did not extend to Mexico.

One - | reference says that arrows were | dipped in the acrid juice of leaf of an | agave, but the species is not given. .| The Aztecs were adepts in the proper- .| ties of plants, and aside from the | wound, con!ld have made an arrow very disagreeable.
