ledge, whatever may be the limita-
lions brough. about by conditions and
necessities Of life? II so you can
rightfully write Success" on the
last page Of your record book, as far
as the mental side of your school
work is concerned.
But how about the next side of
our life, the physical? Has your
school left a blessing of Larger
life" in that respect, too? Has your
Physiology class left a mass of jumb-
led names and blurred images Of
things which are supposed to have
been inside of some unreal sort OF
human. though never near to John
or Mary or Sem? Or has II left a
few great facts about the body we
live in, so well taught and applied
that every muscle, every nerve,
every gland, will be caused to func-
ton better, and every ounce OF food
and breath OF ar used to better ad-
vantage for the lessons you have
taught? Yes, and have your boys and
girls carried out into the community
the modern idea that disease is use
less and the greatest tax that is
levied upon society that most heart
less OF tyrants, ignorance?
More than this, have you taught new
games and sports for out of doors
which will allow the animal craving
for activity, and the human carving
for competition and victory in con-
test to both be satisfied In way
that will not degrade the two higher
phases of life, the spiritual and the
social?
And yet again have you dropped
hints. stated simple. laws, to the
girls of your school which will mean
better food, more attractive homes,
more healthful methods of living,
for the homes of the present, and
in larger measure for the homes of
the future?
II to all OF these questions you
answer in the right way you have in
this field brought to your district
THE abundant life"
Before leaving this last point
must add that there is the greatest
need of better methods and oppor-
tunity for play among the young peo-
pie, especially, in rural sections.
Father Jack, and even Grandfather
Jack, becomes a dull boy as truly rs
the son Jack, when life becomes all
work and no play.
We need more baseball, croquet,
tennis, marbles, "horse shoes, fox
and hound, jumping, running, about
the farms and schools, to take the
place of the gossip and story tell
ing of doubtful quality that are too
often to be found. Yes, and good old
"blind-man's buff or, dare | say 1t,
an old time square dance properly
supervised, to take the place of the
degrading kissing plays" and over
sentimental conversation of our young
people.
The task of bringing the Abundant
life. you see. is no small thing, for
we have not touched upon the social
and spiritual. except the last sugges-
lions for physical recreation touch
the social field, but 1t is the true
teachers work.

thinking OF tho question asked in the
last weeks letter, as to whether
you as teacher can truthfully say
that you Have come that the pupils
in your school might have Life, and
have II abundantly?' | trust that
you have, and that you have answer
ed It in the affirmative. That you are
a life givcr' IN all of the ways that
the community needs new life.
When your school ends the lat
tsr part OF December there should be
new set OF children in your district,
and parents who feel new life COM
ing TO them through the children who
have been with you. II any child has
been with you and not become better
in body, in mind, in relation to God
and In relation to man, then you
have not come up to the full meas
ure of your opportunities.
Let us now devote our attention 10
one of the four sides OF the life that
we found In Luke 2-52 formed the
full life of Jesus. We will take first
the matter of mental growth, the
one which you most often think Of
as being your field of work.
How have you Increased the thought
life Of your boys and girls? In the
Reading class have you made the Sc
lections glow with beauty and interest
until the child felt a hunger for
good literature which will mako q
seeker for and reader of that which
is good and uplifting as long as life
lastc? And, in addition to this, have
you left in the district library a few
good books which will stay after you
have gone to enliven evening hours
and rainy days during the long vaca-
ton of our Rural Schools? Have you,
better still, helped a number of your
pupils TO select a few good books
which they will buy and keep and
love as long as scrap of them holds
together? II so you may feel that
you have been the bringer of "the
abundant life," through your reading
classes at least.
And how has II been with your
Geography? Have the hills and val
leys. the streams. springs. the clouds
and wind become full of new mean
ing as you have taught new lessons
regarding them? Have the eggs and
timber and cattle passing out from
the farm TO the great channels of
commerce, and the loads of merchan-
disc from out in the great world
which flow into the stores and homes
become living links to connect the
life OF every child with the great
business world OF today? Have Eng
land, Colorado. Bulgaria. China, be-
come lands where people live and
work and struggle for that which
seems most worthwhile, as readily
as do the people who live on tho
next farm or In the adjoining school
district? II In a measure you have
done these things you have also
succeeded with your Geography class.
I might go on in this way over the
whole list Of the branches you have
been teaching but II is not necessary.
We can sum all up by the question.
Have you put so much life into each
lesson, have you worked so thoroly.
have you inspired such a deep long
ing for power Of joyous activity in
each subject, that your Pupils will have
an unquenchable thirst for know

teristics, and is he near to the people?
Governor Burleigh's boyhood and
youth were spent upon the farm in
his native town of Linneus, Maine
He displayed from the start those
characteristics which have won for
him success in every activity of life
At the age of is, keenly realizing the
value of a good education, he cheer
fully tramped each morning five
miles to the Academy at Houlton and
back again at night to his home on
the Linneus farm. Step by step, by
his own energy and ambition, and
with his own two hands, he made his
way in the world. He has been sue
cessful in business, because he
brought to it the same qualities which
won him success in public affairs
His promise needed no writing and no
seal to make it binding
While in Congress he was, in the
broadcast sense, the representative of
his whole District, and the interests
of those of different political views
were looked after with the same
promptness and fidelity that have
characterized his relations with all
his constituents. In this fact will be
found the reason why 50 many men,
bers of other parties besides his own

y man of absolutely stainless pub

of gracious neighborliness, of modest
bearing and of the finest business

titled to the consideration of every
voter who desires to see the welfare
of the Republican party subserved

q. Will the candidate add strenot,
to his party?
The Republican party of this State
desires not only to nominate, but to
elect, United States Senator. Gov
efnor Burleigh's record as a vote get
ter surpasses that of any other single
individual in the State of Maine. He
is pre-eminently man of the people
and has a strong and permanent grip
on their affections
In 1897 Governor BurIeigh was
chosen at special election Repre-
Congressional District to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Hon
Seth L. Milliken. Since that time
he has been continuously reelected
TO that position until the Democratic
landslide of 1910 which swept every
thing in his District before it. Even
then he largely led his ticket, Cover
nor Plaisted's plurality being 2651.
While MIR. Gould's plurality over Mr..
Burleigh was but 1889, a reduction of
1852 votes in the Democratic plurality.
Hundreds of voters in his District
who cast a straight democratic ballot
have since expressed their regret ana
sorrow at his defeat, which neither
they nor anybody else anticipated.
The following record speaks eloquent
ly for itself.
