DR.. LORD ADDRESSES
TWIN-ClTY TEACHERS

"a good man IS a successful man.
If he Is not successful, he has not
to a good man or he would be a sue
cess" said DR.. Livingston C. Lord,
president of the Eastern Illinois Nor
NAL school at Charleston, Ill. in his
address to the Twin City Teachers
association at the Moline High school
yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Lord, who is one Of the most
prominent men in the state in educa-
tional circles chose as his subject
Moral Development" and gave one
of the strongest addresses ever heard
in the tri-cities.
The speaker said in part-"To be
strictly moral, one must be intelligent.
Both morality and intelligence are es-
sential, but l believe that I would
place intelligence first. The social or
ganization of the school must con-
tribute to ones moral behavior. AS
general rule, the moral man is well
manered. OF course there are excep-
tons. You will occasionally find an
immoral man who has a thin veneer of
good manners, but this is rare In
the stories used in the schools, the
morals should be more clearly defined.
Too often the story is read and tie
pupil left to draw his own moral, and
quite too frequently, no moral is drawn
at ALL" DR.. Lord gave a number OF
steps which were necessary to attain
the ideal, representing them as a lad
der. Proceeding from the bottom up
he mentioned the following steps: Be
havior, morality, righteousness and
| holiness, and brought out the fact thai
none of these was possible without the
presence of the others.
DR.. Lord was to have addressed the
Tri-Ctty Schoolmasters' club at theil
Rock Island meeting tonight, but ow
ing to pressure Of business, found thai
it would be impossible for him to fiji
his engagement, and left for his HON,
last evening. Thus far no speaker ha,
been secured to fill the vacancy.

EVER TAKE THE PLEDGES

It was formerly customary for the
habttual drinker to take the pledge reg
ularly, sometimes once a year, and some
times in every fit of remorse that fol-
lowed his debauches, and then-break
1t.
But now II is gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. The nervous system of
the habitual drinker is diseased and he
must have treatment that will cure his
condition. If Orrine does not benefit
after trial, your money will be re-
funded.
Orrine costs but 81 a box. Call at our
store and get free booklet. Well
gladly tell you all about this meritor-
ious remedy for the liquor habit Har-
per House pharmacy.

One Of the finest things of its sort
that the Y. NJ. c. A. has done in re-
cent years was the gymnasium exhi-
bition given last night. Before an
audience that crowded the old gym,
filling every seat, and crowding
around the walls for standing room,
about 100 men and boys went
through their work, cheered on by
frequent and spontaneous bursts of
applause.
The program of the exhibition was
planned to demonstrate the regular
work given in the gymnasium
classes, and with the exception of
one or two incidental features in
troduced to add to the interest, there
was nothing shown during the entire
evening that would not be seen or
dinarily In class at work. The
work was done with a precision and
vigor that made even the simplest
exercise pleasing, and the more diff
f1cult stunts were given with an abil-
ity that was surprising.
An exhibition game of basketball
between the association teams of
Rock Island and Davenport proved
as good as any regular game. The
| closest kind of guarding by both
sides resulted in the extremely low
score of 8 to s, with the long end
in favor of Rock Island The win
ming point was made in the last few
seconds of play when MacManus of
the locals tossed the ball into the
basket on free throw following a
| foul.
"The Chemistry, Of Everyday
Life" is the topic for the boys meet
ing at the Y. NJ. c. A. tomorrow
afternoon at $3.50. F. D. G. Walker
will give the talk, using experiments
with chemicals to illustrate his re
marks. All boys from 10 to 16 years
of age are invited to attend.
