PRACTICAL SERVICE
Civic Club Completes Organization
and Plans Program for Practical
Service in the COMMUNICATIONS
mage Sale to be Held by Cub Sat-
urday Dec. 18th, at City Hall.

At an adjourned meeting of the
Civic Club held at the Library last
Thursday evening that club complet-
ed its organization by the election of
officers the appointment of commit
tees and laid plans for practical work
in service to the community.
A nominating committee which had
been previously appointed reported
the following officers: President
Miss Kathryn B. Weir; Vice President
Miss Adaline Howard; Secretary Miss
Genevieve Simpson; Treasurer, Mrs.
Roll Hoy; these officers were duly
elected by ballot and the club proceed
ed to map out a program for work.
The plan is to have number of gen
eral departments of work and each of
these departments will include num-
Der of subdivisions with members of
the club assigned to various branches
of work. Chairman for three general
departments were appointed and these
chairmen will appoint others to act
with them in the supervision and
direction of their departments. The
first department considered was that
of Child-welfare and Mrs. C. D..
Greenleaf was appointed chairman of
this department which will include
the subdivisions of prize gardens, lib
rary and other lines of work for the
welfare of children. Public Health
is another department and Mrs. F. H.
Reighard was appointed it's head. The
third department is that of Relief and
Mrs. C. H. Jordan was appointed its
chief. Other committees may be ap-
pointed as the work of the club grows.
1t seems to be the spirit of this new
organization to hold itself ready to
help and cooperate in any line of
work for the common good wherever
the opportunity is offered as well as
to carry forward such work on its
own initiative. That there is a place
for just such an organization as this
in the life of our community goes
without saying and it is to be hoped
that this new organization will meet
with the approval and the hearty CO.
operation of all citizens. Cases of re-
lief needed, questions concerning civic
improvement, menaces to, public
health or welfare should be reported
to the president or to chairman of
q department, the plan of organiza-
tion is simple so as to avoid the null
t1plication of unnecessary formalities
and meetings leaving the club free to
spend time upon the actual work to
be done, nor is it exclusive; any
woman who is citizen of Wauseon
may become a member by signing the
constitution and signifying her will
ingness to help. The club is not an
end in itself but means to an end
and that end is comprehensive enough
to include all civic and social better
ment.
The Club took action endorsing the
proposed State Health Exhibit to be
held In Wauseon next March and will
help in securing it and working to
make it success.
The date for the Annual Rummage
Sale was set for next Saturday, Dec
ember 18th at the City Hall, proceeds
will go into the treasury of the club
to be used in the work of the club in
it's various departments.

THE ART or TEACHING
The Universally of It-Something in
Which Every One Can Engage
We are Teachers in Spite of Our
selves-Impressions Are Lasting
A Word to Sunday School Teach
ers.
By W. T. Williams.

We hear so much about art in this
day and generation that we are in
danger of dethroning the most use
full one of all in order to enthrone the
most snowy ones. This might be very
much in keeping with the spirit of the
age, but, since we are Of the number
that believe intensely in the power of
truth, we are not afraid of the out
come at the end of the day. AS we
believe that the Judge of all the earth
will do right, so, also, we believe that
eventually truth will reign supreme
in all the world. Faith is the con-
quering power of every mind. The
man of faith is never defeated. No
man is subdued unless he is conscious
of it. and this faculty has not yet been
discovered within the realm of faith.
This moral quality goes from victory
to victory, even though many are
blind to such performances. Teach
ing is the most useful of all gifts, and
this has been verified over and over,
even by the greatest intellects of all
ages. It has been repeated again
Eand again that every man is teach
er in whatsoever avenue he is found.
1t has been said too, fully as often,
that the grip of every man on life is
measured by the extent Of his ability
to teach. This is something which
we can not gainsay. 1t is too self
evident to admit contradiction. Then,
who will deny that the art of teach
ing is the most useful of all her SIS
ters? And besides, is this not clear
ly manifested by the fact of its uni
versatility? We are all teachers
whether we know it or not, and with
out question, the amount of our use
fulness as citizens is the same as the
amount Of our teaching. The profes-
sions are no exception to this funda-
mental rule. For our very attitude
because we can not conceal them, have
their bearings, We are known from
afar.
"Iron sharpeneth iron; So man
sharpeneth the countenance of his
friend"
Therefore, how shall we teach? As
Sunday school teachers we are al
aware of the fact that truth must be
taught. knowledge is transmitted
from one to another, and we must
know how to do it. This is impera-
tive on account Of the Importance anc
sacredness of our task, and being sin
cere, seeking to help, we will be CRATE
full for having the best way showed
to US. Many methods we have tried
and perhaps, we are justified in say
ing to some extent successful How.
ever, there is one method that has
proven it's virtue beyond the faintesi
suspicion. It stands before us today
as. mighty, steady force. It's potency
is undeniable, because it has been en-
dowed with that quality that makes
room for itself whenever it is employ
ed. It was used by the Teacher from
Nazareth frequently, and indeed, we
have ample reason to believe that il
was His favorite. This has come down
