It was his day for the solution Of

For time this farmer prospered,

As the strings of a violin cannot

man cannot forever put his faculties
on the stretch without losing his buoy
ancy and vitality.

The institution Of Sunday is more
than a day of rest set apart by civil
and religious authority. 1t Is a week
end vacation established by the expe-
rience of the race for the benefit of
the race.

fact that periodical rest and relaxa-
ton Is vital to the health and sanity
OF human beings.

For him and his there was no

Do not spoil your Sunday.
1t IS part OF your sacred heritage
and the oldest institution of civiliza'

1t is a holy day not only in the
sense of being sacred as a religious

must come.

The Evening Chit-Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

ITO expect uniformity of opinion in
this world"
ITO endeavor to mould the opinions
of everybody alike"
Evidently he had met many people
who left out the u consider"
There are people who say there is no
such thing absolute good and bad.
Goodness and badness" they say
are fuctuating quantities depending
entirely upon environment, bringing UP,
habit, point of view, etc. What is bad
in one person may be good in another
person and what is good in one may
be merely natural in another.
I can't quite see 1t as strongly as
that. II seems to me that there are
some few things which are always
bad and some which are always good.
Selfishness and it's manifestations, for
Instance. are always bad.
But l do think that in all definition,
in all judgment to speak or think

Editor TrMEs:--Of course, there is
not question. but that we should learn
to SPELL The question Is: does 1t pay
to neglect the regular school work in
order that we may make our pupils.
prize winners. In the various contests.
1 personally know of schools in which
patrol will go to Rochester. New York
very little of the regular work was
carried between the preliminary con-
test and the county contest. After the
county contest, one of the schools hav-
ing a winner has dropped regular work
for hour each day to give a special
spelling drill to this class.
Last year Griffith had the honor of
being the home of the so called spell
ing queen and this year we have a
delegate to the district contest which
will be held at Monticello. 1t may be
easily seen that this is not the plant o.
a hard looser.''
We have never neglected our regular
work in order that we might deveIope
spelling prodigies. Our success has de-
pended wholly on the fact that our
pupils knew how to study.
Our work has proven this, as we
graduated our entire eighth grade class
last year and with a showing second
to none in the county.
The object of the contest should be
the learning to spell correctly not the
developing of spelling freaks who may
know how to spell all the words in the
dictionary.
To the extent that spelling contests
exert an undue influence over the
teachers, in the direction of causing
them to neglect the regular work OF
the established curriculum; they are OF
great harm and tend to make the teach
err an animal trainer and the pupils a
receptacle for the holding OF few
thousand words and a few million let
tiers. J. w. HOUGH,

ANOTHER FAKE wRITEUI'.

Gary. Ind, Feb. Is.
Editor TrMEs:-I noticed an article in
todays issue of the Gary Evening Post
concerning the boxing bouts that were
pulled off in Hammond Saturday night,
Feb. 18th, and in this article that Tony
Concey claims to have gained a victory
over his opponent Ed Wagner, and l
wish to state here that If a decision
had been rendered the Hammond man
was entitled to it, by all means. 1t
was a sparring exhibition pure and
simple and not a prize fight If a con-
test could be won by stopping punches
with a mans face undoubtedly Concy
would have been in the race but as IL
was Wagner was easy the cleverest.
The bouts were clean all the way
through and as Manager of Concy and
James Sugora l wish to thank the
Hamond boys for their more than fair
treatment shown to myself and boxers
Very Respectfully.
