aoOD.BY, BAREFOOT BOY.

H4SSS1uk6 Ou IlOV, AssA 4
Barefoot boy with cheeks Of tan!
with thy turned up pantaloons,
And thy merry whistled tunes.
Health that mocks the doctors
rules,
knowledge learned at.
schools;
Outward sunshine, inward JOY,
Blessings on the barefoot boy!
And that's the way the old Quaker
poet of Haverhill shook it out Of his
mental music-box in the days gone
by. Thus did he put into flowing
meter what thousands of mute, in
glorious Whittiers have felt since
time began. TO have been once a
barefoot boy is to know and under
stand what Whittier meant when he
wrote those lines.
And most of us have been there.
You remembr the time when you
were a little barefooted rascal trot-
ting around the old home place with
both big toes tied up and a stone
bruise on your heel. Those were
only trifes, and they didn't inter-
fere with the joy of going barefooted
in the good old summer time. You
remember how o waited through
the long winter, and how tired your
feet got of those old heavy .brogans.
When the warm spring sunshine had
coaxed the violets out, and the icy
Jumps were gone from the ground,
how joyfully you kicked off those
old shoes and ran foot-races with
yourself for the very joy of running!
You do not need that l remind you
how you rolled up your breeches legs
and waded the little creek after min
nows. And when a little butterfly
happened along you forgot the sore
toe and went bounding over hedge
and garden wall to catch the poor
thing.
Whittier thought it was healthy to
go barefooted and get your legs sun
burnt and your heels calloused, and
to know the joy Of squirting mud
through your toes. The daddies,
mammies, and young 'uns of the past
generations have all thought it was
healthy and jolly good fun.
But that was long before John A
Terrell, NJ. D., became Assistant
Secretary of the North Carolina
State Board of Health. / have be-
fore me an article written by DIR
Terrell and widely circulated through
the press. And Doc very wisely in.

to let the kids go b%arefooted any
more. He says give your Chile
poison if you want to; or let hin

snake or jump in the river. AL
these things are harmless amuse
ments and perfectly safe compared
to the deadly peril of going bare
footed. Wars and earthquakes anc
train wrecks and fires and floods ar,
a little bit risky at times, but the,
are nothing to compare with goin.

There Is reason TO believe that the

about cooking than about navigation.
or, to put It nautically. was more at
home in the galley than on the quar-

novel She struggled along bravely
for a few minutes. but finally had TO
appeal TO her husband
Gerald she said. the author says
that the boat was sailing wing and

been on a yacht. but never heard

That means answered Gerald re.
