Little other Disease In Paducah--.
Fight ON the Flies Il Being
Made.

Measles heads the percentage col

health officer. There are about 20
cases of measles. mostly OF a mild

Prof. Ragsdale Elected.
At the meeting yesterday the elec-
ton of teachers was taken up and
Prof j. S. Ragsdale was unanimous
ly reelected principal. while Mrs.
Ragsdale was reelected teacher. BY
the terms OF the election Professor
Ragsdale agreed to teach the school
at Lone Oak for nine months and
furnish all equipment for $1,000.
while IL the school IL taught at
Heath the salaries will amount to
$500 and the board furnish the
coal and supplies.
Professor Ragsiale offered to
teach the High school at either place
but because he IS a resident. of Lone
Oak and is Interested in the college
building at Lone Oak. he said he
could afford to teach the school for
less. His offer was accepted by the
trustees after thorough discussion.
The school law requires that the High
school be taught, and the board
could not discontinue the school for
year as one trustee considered.
The qualifications for the teachers
of the county High school we're
adopted. The teachers must be
graduates OF a High school. or grad
yates Of some standard normal
school or university, a holder OF a
state certificate to teach, and non
user OF narcotics. The qualifications
were adopted previous to the cleo
ton.
Owing to the small number Of
pupils in the Lang and Lone Oak
school districts, the two districts
were united. II will have no effect
upon the schools as the state law re-
quires that each school district must
have over 40 pupils. Two separate
schools will be maintained as when
there were two separate districts.
Contractor James Rouse was per

change of material will not in

REFORM.

Reform, in government or any
thing else. is not the punishment of
offenders or the lesson taught by the
consequences OF their exposure.
Reform consists of the discovery
OF the evil and the cause OF It, and
the effecting OF such fundamental
changes as preclude the possibility
of recurrence.
Whenever people begin to consid-
er certain evils necessary or unavoid-
able, then II is time to reform the
people officially. That certain evils
have always existed, is no reason
why we should either embrace or
condone them. Many evils have ex-
listed in the past, which We would
not tolerate, though they we're once
accepted as a matter of course. When
the ethical reform has transformed
an acquiescent state OF public mind
into a crusading spirit. and the ven
geance OF outraged society is visited
on the heads OF transgressors in high
places. the benefits from the reform
will be no more lasting than the
benefits OF a cyclone. which clears
the atmosphere and destroys many
things that ought to be destroyed
but does immense damage without
any compensatory reconstruction
unless we go to the bottom OF the
trouble and discover, II II is a poldti'
cal reform. structural errors In the
government itself or our relations
to II, which produce the evil.
We ind that our system Of party

Ballinger adherents profess to see
back OF the attack on him a con-
spiracy against the president. No
doubt, designing enemies of the ad-
ministrstion have taken advantage
OF the opportunity afforded by the
investigation to becloud the is-
sues: but friends of conservation
profess to see back of Ballinger's de
tense, a menace to the forests. water
sites, fuel and ore deposits. II may
be the execution of conservation pol
icies may operate crudely in some re-
spects, and, no doubt. not at all TO
the satisfaction of those who are
dispossesed by the "ranger rufiians. "
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1910-05-24

we may be developing the vanity CT
mere egotism, which Is nothing more
than the glorificatloa Of an instinct
that weds us to TIA brute creation.
Exercise the will as a controlling
force. not an acquisitive force: let
the will be master of the mind and
body. not the servant of caprice and
passion; let the will be the king.
not the slave.
II is not the man, who struts the
street. that is master of his own
household, and officiousness is not
evidence OF strong will. Sometimes
II requires stronger will to restrain
the passions, than to openly resent
a trespass.
When a man sits down and wills
to accomplish something. he calls
only his imagination to the task;
but when a man wills that all his
functions of mind and body shall
bend themselves to the task, he az
serts royal prerogatives in his will:
and when the will marshals the forces
of mind and body in review and
determines that they shall be prop
eraly trained and equipped for the
best service in the accomplishment of
that task. then, indeed. is the will
a general, commanding a force to be
reckoned with. having at his beck
efficient units for the conquest of
the outside world.
But the will is not a single cham
pion to sally forth like David to
meet Goliah, nor is the will the
family physician of the body to be
summoned by outraged nature to
cure the ills brought about by bod
lily excuses.
Those. who claim the most for
their Wills. drag II down from its
high place of authority in the intel
lectual kingdom. and enthrone their
own vanity: Ego reigns-"I am" is
sufficient unto itself upon a totter-
ing throne. while anarchy sways the
mind and the senses riot in self
worship.

ANT?

is THE WILL MASTER OR SERV-
ANT?
We hear much these days of the
will, and its service in controlling
and combating disease, its agency in
the success of the individual. its all
pervading influence in the life of the
possessor of II. And we also con-
clude from what we hear that a vast
majority of the people who talk
about their wills don't know what
will is.
Just as every accurate demonstra-
ton of physics must start with a
correct statement of the proposition:
30 every accurate conclusion of phil
|osophy must start with correct def
nitions, expressed or implied. Let.
for instance. a iaundiced. snap tur-
tie tempered individual assume that
his persistent refusal 20 acknowledge
that there Is anything wrong with
his liver. is an exhibition of will pow
er. which will cure real maladies:
and nothing but a surreptitious dose
of calomel will restore his balance
and prevent his getting the pinlons
Of his immortal soul tangled up in
the ganglion of his own nervous
system.
Will is an intellectual function
and its exercise is wholly compatible
with a recognition OF facts as they
exist, or may exist. A man becomes
the victim OF a habit OF eating. or
drinking or smoking something that
affects his health. He cannot resist
the effects of his habit by willing
that II won't hurt him. That is not
will. that is a perverse refusal TO
recognize facts. But the test of his
will comes in his ability to control
his desire for the thing that hurts
him and resist the temptation to
indulge in IT,
We do not combat the argument
that there is a close relationship be-
tween the brain and the other parts
Of the body. 1t is necessarily so. |
The brain Is a material substance !
and IL IL connected with every organ |
and part OF the body by a system Of |
nerves. over these connect |
