An APOSTLE OF CHEERFUnNEss

That was a heartily cheerful and
buoyant message given recently to the
teachers and parents of the country in
an interview from Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, president of the National Edu-
cation Association, on "The Upward
Curve, and makes US rejoice that a
woman of such sanity and poise is at
the head Of THE organization. Mrs.
Young comes forward as an apostle OF
good cheer in urging the teachers and
parents of the nation to maintain as
regards themselves and their pupils
and children the upward curve in the
lines Of the face as the mark of d
cheerful, well poised spirit.
Laugh and grow fat" and
Laugh and the world laughs with You,
Weep and you weep alone"
are but commonplace expressions OF
the same idea. The matter was we'll
illustrated by Mrs. Young when she
referred to the young teachers at the
convention as possessing the upward
curve in the lines of their faces. The
natural inference is that the Older
teachers had lost in large part this
charm of facial expression, which in
dicated that they had also lost much
.of the cheerfulness and JOY of their
earlier years.
1t is not the mere outward express
sion of cheerfulness that was empha-
sized, but the idea that the face is but
a record of the emotions of the soul.
If the cartOonist wishes to express
rollicking cheer and good humor, he
puts into his Dortra.: touch of the
upward curve. On the contrary, if he
wishes to show face that is gruff or
glum, he uses the downward curve. 1t
is difference which even the the cas-
ual observer catches at a glance IN
scanning the comic supplement of the
daily papers and elsewhere.
The gIist of the message is that the
brighter and more cheerful moments
Of life should be emphasized by every
one in a corresponding expression Of
the face. The beauty doctor may mas
sage and smooth the wrinkles from the
face, but it is only a wholesome good
cheer and poise Of mind and spirit
that will keep them from the face. To
the man or the woman who keep them
selves sWeet-tempered, no beauty doc
tor is necessary. The message written
no their faces with the flying years is
one of sweetness and light
If the teachers and mothers of the
country could realize the Importance
of the message that Mrs. Young utter
ed, it would mean much for the cheer
fulness and happiness of the nation
Was it not Matthew Arnold who utter
ed the message of sweetness and
light" for England and the English
speaking peoples of the earth? The
nation is indebted to Mrs Young for
her wholesome utterances, alsl it is q
source of satisfaction that she has
been honored so highly by Ler fellow
labOrers.

THE LITTLE SCHOOL

Floyd d. Rae, in Boston JournaD
| we'll remember long ago
That little school that stood
Just Were the roadway bends around
A little patch Of wood;
And | remember, too, the bench
Along the inner wall
By which we used to stand and read
Leaves have their time to fall"
There oft I've stood with open book
And ha,f-abated breath.
To gallop with the Light Brigade"
Into the jaws of death
Or surging on DER hill and dale
With pendulum-like sway
| took the road with Sheridan
For twenty miles away"
Fen now thru all this lapse of time
| still remember we'll
The sound of Freedoms dying shrek
AS Kosciuso fell"
And pause again to wipe away
The sympathetic tears
For the soldier of the legion"
That lay dying in Algiers.'
1 can still see, just as of Old,
The sights of "Watkin's Glen
Tho thirty years Of wandering life
Have passed and gone since then
All, can it be so long ago?
How swift the years have sped
Since, In his dark, carved, Oaken
chair
Old Rudiger sat dead
From that old bench I've wandered
thru
Sweet Auburn" many time
And heard those far-0ff 'Shandon
bells
Ring out their joyous chime;
And oft I've paused beside the spring
To drink, then ride away,
White sweet MAUD Muller" unused
and sighed
TIL rain fell on the hay.
These joys it gave. yet from tEat place
I've searched the wide world DER
For some secluded place on earth
Where mortals weep no more;
Some lone and pleasant dell
Some valley in the west
Where free from toll and pain
The weary soul may rest.
Avo. many a weary day since then,
Thru varying heat and frost,
! I've held my solitary way,
Lone wandering but not lost
For Eave still in memory
The little school that stood
Just where the roadway bends arounC
A little patch Of wood

Captain Gleaves' command

Captain Gleaves' command to
''close the exits and flood the room''
on board the battleship North Dakota
when q. compartment was on fire was
an order which not every man could
have mustered up courage to give.
Three men were in that compartment
fighting ireland this was reported to
the captain with the information that
the flames were making Roadway. His
command was Instantly obeyed-the
exits were closed, the room flooded
and the fire extinguished, but at the
sacrifice of the three poor fellows who
were in that compartment putting
forth their utmost efforts to subdue
the flames. Though it has been de-
clared by experts in maritime matters
that the ship could not have been
saved unless that order had been
given, yet the incident is horrible to
contemplated makes q mans blood
run cold. sT5sz17.a9s

G. H. Wyman made a splendid run
and surprised even the wise ones by
his vote getting ability. His defeat
is due to the fact that Mile Laos

for Dunn leaving Wyman low man
there by nearly two hundred. -Anoka
Herald.
How would it have been if Mr..
Goodwin had not been the low man
by two hundred votes in Anoka
county? Undoubtedly there were
those in Mile Laos county who voted
for Dunn alone, but not at his re-
quest. The reason Mr.. Wyman was
the low man in Mile Laos county was
because the other candidates we're
better known and made a more active
canvass, besides a majority of the
voters of Mile Laos county labored
under the impression that Senator
Swanson would be nominated and
they we're not in favor of giving
Anoka county the senator and a
representative.

oleomargarine would be an injustice

China is making wonderful strides
in every direction and bids fair to
eventually become one of the FORE
most nations of the earth. It's latest
movement along the line of reform is
to change its language, and the gov
eminent has consequently issued a
decree making the teaching of English
compulsory in all schools to the end
that the Chinese tongue be dropped
altogether as soon as the new Ian
guage is sufficiently mastered to make
that possible. Chinese scholars are
alive to the fact that their language is
structurally primitive and not highly
enough evolved to express their INTEL
lectual needs. Hence the decision to
abandon it and substitute an entirely
new tongue. It will of course take
years to bring about this great
change, but it will eventually be
effected. The entering wedge in the
shape of a . decree has been driven,
and Chinese decree is enforced to
the letter-lt cannotsSbe dodgedswith
impunity. China is the first nation
