Don't Forget Flood Sufferers

The Mississippi flood has cost
some lives and has rendered thou
sands destitute. But IL lacks the
dramatic quality that stirs intense
aud active sympathy In the general
public. For this reason It's appeal
to real charity should be the deeper.
The thoughtful should give to the
flood sufferers. The quick impulse
of the general public may be relied
on to answer distress Of the more
sensational kind Republic.

CARNEGIE ON DRINKING HABIT

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. whose own
experience fits him TO speak with

the CITIZEN AND The SCHOOL

Four months ago there were more
than three hundred young people in
Berea who were working tcgeth'f
with the idea OF fitting themselves
To teach school. To-day they are scat
tered over this and other states. far
from each other. out OF reach u
teachers and Library, soon TO begin
the most serious task of which a
young person can bend his or her
energy.-the training Of children for
the work OF life.
When the school is secured. there
comes a feeling OF relief on the part
o; the young teacher. especially.
which often eases the feelings Of re-
sponsibility which should ever he
present, and in too many cases the
teacher Of years Of experience. be-
cause of having gone through the
battle with ignorance all alone 50
often. looks upon the matter with
something akin TO Indifference.
Because of the difficulties growing
out OF the loneliness OF the one room
teacher. the writer has secured from
the editor of The Citizen the priv'-
lege of conducting a Teachers De-
partment. devoted to the interests ol
education in the districts where COM
nIunication with ones fellow worker,
is most difficult The matter is stat
ed in this way because what Will
fit the conditions there will largely
apply to all rural schools, while dis
cussions carried on with tho graded
school. or the most favorably situa-
ted one room school in mind will o.-
ten leave the problems OF the less
favored ones unsolved.
The greatest iced OF tho rural
school, as well as the rural people
In general, Is a closer cooperation.
That this may be made possible we
are calling upon the teachers TO join
hands thru The Citizen this fan,
that we may keep step in our schools
rs we did in our classes. OF course
the purpose Of such Department
would be made possible of attainment
nnly by the paper reaching large
number Of teachers every week.

asking as many teachers az are In

receiving inspiration and advice from
their former teachers and other
friends of the schools and tho chill

Every former Berta Normal student
will receive a letter In regard TO the

posed Department within few
days, while others may send their

Whatever the number OF new
teachers who take advantage OF this
means of securing aid and advice In
their work may be. the Teachers De-
Iartment will start with the first

tensely eager to belong somewhere and
to be attached to almost any sort of
enterprise that would furnish him
food and clothing.
Long before he came In sight of the
camp Of the Grand Rapids Lumber
company he could hear the CHEEKY
voices Of the men and the neighing of
the horses, and could scent the tempt
ing odors Of cooking food. A feeling
Of homeless friendlessness swept over
him. He turned into the newly made
road and followed it to the camp.
The men were jovially calling back

The color flooded Freckles' face, but
he said simply. "If you will be having

With a shrug OF establishment, the
cook led the way TO a broad, square

''No use of your bothering with this

has but one hand"
The flush on Freckles' face burned
deeper. His lips thlnned TO a mere
line. He lifted his shoulders. took a
step forward, and thrust out his right

WHITE HEADED MATCH + A
LITTLE CRIMINAL

The poet tells us there are ser
mons in stones. Why not sermons IN
matches? What a wonderful little
thing the match really is. How ex-
oellenuy 1t performs its service for
man. How far beyond the steel and
flint OF our forefathers. Boxes Of
matches come into our homes every
day, as a matter Of course. The lat
est are often the very acme OF per-
lection. The more easily they light
and the more noiseless the better
We like them.
Man would not consciously MAIN
or kill his fellow man and yet we
have been partners with the little
criminal match in doing just that.
Here is the point Of the matter. Most
Of the matches We use contain form
of phosphorus that is poisonous and
brings injury to many OF the labor
ers who make them. We have been
unconscious OF this until the awaken
ed sense of justice has called for a
change, and we shall soon be able
to use our matches with clear con-
science.
Who can remember the first match?
II was the old birthstone, a splinter
of Pine dipped In sulphur and light
ed by a spark from the steel and
flint. 1t never did any harm. Then
came the match with head composed
of chlorate Of potash. sulphur, pow
dcred sugar with gum. to hold the
mixture together and coloring matter
to tint it. This match was lighted
by bringing in contact with little
Sulphuric acid and called the in
light box. This was also
harmless.
About 1885 came the lucifer match,
the first one TO light by friction, the
match that STRIKES anywhere" Its
head was first made OF sluphurette
IF anthony, chlorate Of potash, with
Gum and coloring matter. A little
ater phosphorus began TO De used
