LErom the Berry Citizen. l

Physiology, hygiene and other fea-
lures pertaining to sanitation should
have a proper place upon the curricu-
lum of the schGRl at this place and
taught regularly each week. In order
that these subjects may be properly
handled the four physicians Of Berry
should be placed In charge. Each one
of them would be willing to give an
hour of his time each week to the
school as an instructor upoE sanitary
VI hygiene science. The mere teaching
of physiology, while 1t may interest
somewhat and tickle the fancy OF
many of the children. does not protect
one against tuberculosis, typhoid fe-
yer and other infectious diseases
These subjects would not be too diff.
cult to teach, and either # our physi
clans could make them understand.

Let us see how the candidates
for county office in Morgan are
in reality on the question of clean
elections. The best evidence that
a candidate is for clean elections
is the way he conducts his cam
paign. If none Of the candidates
want anything but a free expires
sion Of the people and a fair count
of the ballot, there will nothing
to prevent it. Keep your eyes
open and watch if you want a de-

reputation of the county to see
that this primary is honestly and
fairly conducted.

Reports from a private source
are that the alleged fusion of the
republicans and progressives in
Rowan county only extends to
the would-be Office seekers, and
that the rank and file of the pro-

the republican fold by the office

SUGGESTIONS BY
STATE EDITORS
How Kentucky Schools May Be
Improved.
TO EXTEND TERM IN OFFICE.
Superintendent Of Public instruction
Should Have More Time to Carry
Out Reforms-Aim' Should Be Edu-
cation Rather Than lnstruction--lm-
portanee Of Electing Good Officials.


The awakened and more intelligent
interest in all that pertains to educa-
ton in the commonwealth suggests an
inquiry in some quarters. Why not,
they ask, so contrive as that con-
tinuity of reform be made the more
certain by permitting second term
to the superintendent Of public instruc-
ton? Allowing for the time necessary
for him to shake down in his Office and
become at home with the routine, how,
in the brief space left, may he hope to
shape and perfect plans that shall
have time to blossom and bear fruit?
Is 1t not essential that il those plans
meet public approval and support they
be given every widest opportunity to
prove their worth by results?
The suggestion is worth consdera'
ton. There Is much to be said for II
and something, no doubt, on the other
side, But, at first glance, we are free
to state that 1t ''listens" well.

II our chi iren are to improve at

ents should bear in mind. There
should be a progressive, energetic
county school superintendent, and the
school trustees must take interest in
their work and do their very best to
get the best results possible In their
respective districts. There are not
two more important officers In the
county than that of superintendent

A Letter Of Coincidence.

The following letter was re-
ceived by Mr.. Kendall shortly
after the death of his wife. The
writer is a son of Pomp Kendall
and has been blind from infancy:
McAlester, Okla,
June 18th, 1918.
Mr.. W. M. Kendall,
West Liberty, KY,
My Dear Uncle Willmoore:-
| CHANGED to be at my fathers
home in McAlester late yester-
day afternoon when he received
a telegram from Clarence Maxey
conveying the sad announcement
that Aunt Paulina had been lost
to you. know that you must
have felt her going as a bitter
sorrow, and my heart goes out
to you in your great bereave-
ment. You had been permitted
to journey so long together, it
seems peculiarly sad that you
were not PERMITTED to complete
the journey hand in hand to the
end. But it is your consolation
to know that for you, too, the end
is not far away, and a few more
years at most will see your life
reunited to that of Aunt Paulina.
During these first days of your
great sorrow, my earnest prayers
and sympathetic thoughts con-
stantly center about you with the
wish that God may make his con-
soling presence very real to you,
and may give you thrilling Wis
ions of that better home where
the champion of these long years
waits to welcome you and to be
with you again.
We had an old, old preacher
with us here in the Oklahoma
Conference years ago. He had
once been a strong man and had
held important charges; but with
the creeping on of age, his
strength failed, and it began to
be hard to find a church which
wanted his PASTORAL services. We
sent him over to Holdenville his
last year among us; the church
did not want him, and. the aged
preacher realized it. One Sun
day afternoon, he wrote a friend
back at his old home in Missis-
sippi, and said to him lam very
tired; ] am getting homesick fol
my Fathers house. 1t seems to
me that | have so little upon
earth and so much in heaven. +"
That night, he read the four.
teenth chapter of John to bis con.
gregation, and sank at the close
of the lesson into a chair. Al
the end Of the hymn which fol-
lowed, he did not rise tC
preach, his head had faller
back upon the cushion of his
chair, and when they came to ex'
anime him, his heart was still,
Now that Aunt Paulina is gone,
| am sure you will sometimes,
perhaps most times, feel that you,
like my old preacher friend, are
,homesick for the Fathers house,
But | trust. you can find grace ia
wait with patience and hope for
the day when like him, you shall
fall peacefully to sleep, and be
born on angels arms to the home
where our loved ones wait us.

time when | saw Grandma Ken

recollect and one morning during
her sickness, they took me to hel

do not; try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in a

thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third. the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last. If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon, do
not leave them in the living room, for
they are not used to such tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase in q
cool place, or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers in pail Of
water Fourth. cut about quarter of
