has. something infinitely more valua-
bic; she possesses one of the most
potent Of all the Keys to happiness
the ability to enjoy beauty without
possessing it.
The world is full of beautiful things;
to look at beauty is one Of the most
natural and most healthy sources Of
happiness. And yet there, are great
many people so built that they can
not really enjoy anything however
beautiful unless it belongs to them.
The desire for possession is one of
the most deep rooted and enduring 0i
human passions. From the baby who
reaches out his hand for the bright
object that attracts him and cries
when he cannot have It, to the old
man who schemes by an ingenious
will to keep his hold on his posses
sions even beyond the grave. we are
all more or less its slaves.
1t takes a philosopher to break the
chains and to realize that true con-
tent does not necessarily lie in pos.
session. And this woman was evident
by a philosopher. Think Of all the inf
mite riches that are hers. Wealthy
people are often discontinued be-
cause even their wealth has a limit.
Hers has none; all that she sees is
hers to enjoy it without possessing.
1T makes me perfectly miserable
to have to be with Rosamond,"
rather plain girl said to me once,
because she is so beautiful and
am unhappy because never can look
like that"
You see she was AN abject slave OF
the desire for possession.
How much happier is the state OF
mind of another woman who says, i
think l enjoy a beautiful woman as
much as a man does. You see l love
beauty for itself and whether / find
it in a man or woman, a ship or a
sky or flower, l take pleasure IN
it,
Lucky the man or woman who can
teach himself or herself to enjoy
beauty without forever coveting it, fol
the world is full Of beauty and hence
full of happiness for such a one.

TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

The Teachers Association meeting
held at Hoisington last Saturday
was one Of the best ever he'd there,
there being So teachers present be-
sides quite a. number Of patrons and
Older. pupils.
: The discussion of the book, "Edu-
cation by Plays and Games" was
good, bringing out the ideas that play
is an inherent part of child's ma
tune which, instead of being hindered
should be directed and studied, that
play IN children corresponds to in
stinct in animals as children play
what grown-up do, that different play
appeals 10 children of different ages
and a play period past without the
child having experienced the play of
that age, the child never cares for
such play. The book deals with kinds
of play, the educational uses Of play
and describes quite number of play
and games for the use of those haV-
ing the training of children in charge
1t. is a good book for parents as we'll
as teachers.
The game of Anyway BalP' was
much enjoyed. Prof. Cutter of the
State, Normal School assisted Prof,
Rankin in teaching the game. He
also taught the teachers a practical
game for rainy days indoors.
The reports from he State Associ,
alton were especially good as were al
so a number of the papers. The
round table discussions were lively as
usual and none we're ready to quit in
time for the general meeting.
The entertainment program consist
ing of musical numbers by pupils Of
the Hoisington High School was much
enjoyed. Miss Mae Somers of the

dience with a reading from lsrael
