This is the lad who raised 228t
bush els OF corn on an acre. He did
this down in the State OF South
Carolina, where be lives. He is
here in Columbus attending the
corn exposition. He is 10 years OF
age and fine. modest chap. He is
also the observed of all observers.
There is no visitor here more i'm
portant or conspicuous than Jerry.
This fame is due to the fact that
Jerry did something worth while.
Me didn't roam around searching
for sport and fun and use up his
time among frivolous companions
he raised corn and now the whole
country is saying: Great boy. that
Jerry Moore-may his tribe in
crease" Yes. may it. May many
boys take lesson from Jerry's ex-
perience and do something good and
great. II may not be growing corn.
as noble as that employment is but
the world is full of things to do. and
everybody ought TO select one of
those things TO do and do it.
IL may take a little sacrifice, a
little courage, a little hard work,
but these are the making OF a boy,
and unless they come to him. he
might as well sit down on Mediocr res
loItiing bench and let oppor unity
slip from his fiogers. Columbus

The good health Of the teach eu
profoundly affects the good health
OF the pupil. because the feelings OF
the teacher are q controlling factor
in regulating the temperature Of the
classroom" said Or. Luther Hal.
sey Gulick, director of the depart
ment OF child hygiene of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation. who was see a
at the New Willard.
Teachers In poor health, with
low vitality. feel cold In those tenn.
peratures which are best for learn
ing and best for the comfort OF
healthy children. Upon the health
and efficiency of the teacher rests
the entire educational programme.
The feelings OF the teacher largely
govern the vigor and time of the
gymnastics, the enthusiasm and In
telligence with which the exercises
are administered. the prevailing
atmosphere of the school, as to
whether it is primarily one Of search
ing for faults or the discovery OF
success, the one making for dis
couragment and deceit, the other
for joyous, enthusiastic co-opera-
ton; the one the habit OF success,
the other the habit OF failure.
The dominant basis of the pri-
mary qualities upon which success
full teaching depends-the common,
human qualities OF enthusiasm, in
terest, sympathy, good nature, pa
tience--is good health. The prima-
ry qualities which enable pupils TO
achieve the desired results in edu-
cation are interest, attention, enthu-
siasm and concentration. A domi-
uant factor in each OF these is good
health-Wsshiugton Herald.
