OBITUARY.

Paul Omego Thompson. son of Rev
c. NJ. c. and Barbara Thompson, was
born at Waldo. Kansas. March Is,
1898. Died at Ransom, Kansas, Au-
gust 4, 1899
Paul was afflicted from his birth,
perhaps no day i'm his life was he
without pain. His affiiction was of
such character that it baffied the
medical profession. Brother and Sis
ter Thompson were untiring in their
efforts to secure relief for him.
The first regular course of treat
ment for his affliction was given by
DIR. Jones of Wa-Keeney. under whose
care he improved in some respects
From there they took him TO Kansas
City. After visiting several institu-
tions they decided to try DIR. Goes
Sanitarium where he received practi-
caliy the same treatment that Dr.
Jones gave him. From there they
took him to the Fanyleck-Minter
company in Kansas City, from whom
he received treatment until his death.
Paul had an unusual sweet DISPOSE
tion for one afflicted as he was Was
always appreciative of any act OF
kindness bestowed upon him. Was
patient through all his sufferings. and
for one of his age. took great interest
in spiritual things. When the family
studied the Sunday School lesson in
the home be always gave attention
and wanted to be taught the lesson.
The funeral services were conducted
by the writer assisted by Rev. James
Vanderlip in the NJ. E. church at
Ransom. We laid the little body
away in the Ransom cemetery to
await the resurrection morn, when
he shall come forth with body like
unto the glorified body OF our Lord.

Reflections From the School
Room.

Room.
There seems to hazy superstition
that just any body can teach.
+
Itis practice. and not learning, that
rules that accomplishes the result.
Do the schools and teachers meet
the expectations of the public? If not
why not?
The teacher must take the basest
metal and by alchemy transmute it
into gold.
One great lack is the incentive to
improvement of the teacher. Does
this fit your case?
The word education is so banded
about now it has well nigh lost all
semblance of form.
Education can not be wisely admin
istered except from the high ground
of The spirit of civilization.
I
Every school room contains a possi-
Bile lawyer, doctor, preacher, farmer,
business man and mechanic.
/ f.
A person who must watch his lam
guage all the time when he expresses
himself is hampered all his life.
The question for the school board
to settle when hiring teacher is
who is to be benefited the teacher or
the children.
The word ''flnishing education" is
Superlative amusing term and must
have been coined by one who had not
stopped to consider what the word
means.
Can we to-day echo the sentiments
of the poor ignorant lady who said:
1.-THE teachers nowadays take up the
time tellin' stories that don't mean
nothing"
t.
Some schools seem to make little
progress for several years, seem to
stand still, yet the same teacher duly
each year, the community
appears to have advanced ahead of |
the school.
The biographer of nearly every man |
of note who achieved his own great |
ness, and that prior to the last fifteen |
or twenty years, reveals the fact that |
at some time in his career he had /
taught school.
The indianapolis, Ind, school board
passed resolution, that any woman
upon her marriage be deemed
TO have placed her resignation in the
hands of the committee on appoint
nent of teachers.
Habit gains in strength by a repiti-
ion of the act, as the babit is per-
ected we become less and less con-
cious of the act and finally do it
lnconsciously. This is very import
int in education.
School work that will develop the
hild into good citizen-honest. dill
gent, industrious and faithful to any
rust reposed him in after years will
My accomplish what should be ex-
cted of every teacher.
Is the increasing severity in exami-
ations for license to teach and the
arious tests through which the Ii ,
ensed applicant-must pass before ad-
aisSion to the school sufficient bar /,
ier to keep out the unworthy?
The boy who contrives for himself
sled and proceeds TO build it de-
erves more encouragement than the
ne who will rely on his parents buv-
ny him a sled, such self reliance. e
