HENRY MITCHELL McCRACKEN
Chancellor of New York University
The truest philosophy of life is that
which finds the most thoroughly en-
joyable and also the most successful
career in an occupation that brings in
to harmonious play all the powers Of
the individual to the accomplishment
of beneficent results. Such career
Of life satisfies body and soul, con-
science and intellect. Whoever enters
the teaching profession without call,
therefore, will get small compensation
for all his time and labor, however
perseveringly he may strive. Unless
willing to spend and be spent for his
pupils, he must find his toll most un-
congenial. Further, however devoted
in intention, IL he lack utterly the
teaching faculty, il were better for
him that he should take a farm and
raise cabbages, or a shop down town
and sell some article of use or luxury,
than TO pretend TO be teacher. On
the other hand, those-and they are
a larger proportion OF mankind than
is imagined,--whoh have real call
to give to others not only the treas
ures Of knowledge and wisdom OF the
past and present, but also right mo-
tives and lofty aims, possess, and have
a right to possess, a happiness in their
work which, in its most favorable

HOME KEEPING WOMEN
NEED HEALTH AND STRENGTH

The work of home keeping woman
makes constant call on her strength
and vitality, and sickness results from
weak inactive kidneys, and irregular
bladder action more often than she
knows. So many times ii turns out
that her weakness, tired out nervous
ness, headaches, depression and weak
back are caused by kidney trouble and
Foley Kidney Pills have helped many

buoyant healthful activity. Foley Kid

hours. grows to be even thrilling, and
even in the ordinary periods of exis-
tence is full OF satisfaction and quiet
contentment.
Great teachers are soldiers, priests,
and kings. They march, like Thomas
Arnold, or John Witherspoon, two
great college presidents, in the fore
front of reform, or even of the revolu-
tionary movements of their day. They
sacrifice themselves like Bernard Of
ClairvauX, or Pascal Of Port Royal, in
order to lead their pupils into broad
est truth. They rule the world, like
the schoolmaster Alcuin, or the pro-
fessor Martin Luther, because, from
their schoolroom desks, they control
the thoughts of their generation. Char
lemagne and Charles V. reigned, but
their vampires vanished The two
schoolmasters l have named are still
ruling today.

Warming to school Athletes

Warming to school Athletes
The boys OF the common and high
schools who rejoice in their athletic
prowess will give little heed to the
warning sounded by Dr. Arthur A.
Knoch of Cincinnati i'm an address be-
fore the American Physical Education
Association in session here. But their
parents and school officials might well
ponder DIR. Knoch's advise. He crit
icises the strenuous physical eXertion
which eXhausts almost all organs,
causes dilation of the heart, brings
curvature OF the spine, rounds the
shoulders and causes other abnormal
tiles. As has been pointed out many
times, the end of exercise is not
strength, but health and grace. Nature
never intended that the human animal
should be trained down to what box
ing circles call fighting weight all
the time. When such a course is fol-
lowed ii is at the expense of vitality.
This is no INFESTED theory. The
short athletic life is a matter of COM
mon knowledge. When professional
ball PLAYERS at 35 are called "oid
men" the baneful effects of overtrain-
ing and strained eXertions are recog-
nized. When "A man squanders in a
few years the surplus vitality nature
designed to carry him through long
lifetime he is a physical spendthrift,
as foolish as any other kind Of spend
thrift And when intense physical
training is given to growing boys ii
brings a positive injury that can not
be repaired Physicians could give a
long list of young men whose bodies
were shattered by athletics.
The tendency to look upon athletic
not simply in the common schools and
the high schools, but in the colleges
as well, has long been regretted by
thoughtful observers. The percentage
% the student body participating in
such contests is from the necessity Of
things very small. Wholesome as
class or college spirit may be, it is
fostered at too great Il cost. The stu
dents who actually need exercise TO
develop impaired organs and promote
health are not fitted for athletic con-
tests While they may bet as little
fresh air as spectators and develop
their vocal cords as "rooters,' ath-
letic contests are of comparatively lit
tie value TO them. What is needed
is general exercise OF sufficient variety
to interest all and of a character that
will permit general participation.
While not as familiar with the achieve
ments of the American Physical Edu-
cation Association as we should be,
we infer from it's title and the char
acter of some of the addresses by
members, that its aim is to bring
about in the schools of this country
conditions which will promote har-
monious development of the children
mentally and physically. If it sue
ceeds in correcting the tendency TO
produce a few athletes through the
neglect of the general student body, il
will have justified it's existence.

Good Roads and schools.

Some statistics just issued by the
Bureau Of Education are calculated TO
open the eyes of those who fondly
imagine the United States has the
greatest school system in the world
and is educating the largest proper
ton of the population. In round
numbers, these figures show that,
while there are 24,0OO,000 children
of school age in the country. only
100000 are enrolled in the public
schools or 73 per cent OF those en-
rolled the average attendance is not
given, but it varies from so per cent
in the highest districts to Ga per cent
in the lowest, perhaps an average of
20 per cent. This means that the av-
erage attendance is about 1880, 000,
or only one half the number of child
rem of age to attend.
These figures are being quoted in
an effort to show the values OF good
roads for school purposes, IL being
assumed that this low attendance is
due to inability to reach school much
Of the time in rural districts. This is,
no doubt, a large factor, but ii is
equally without doubt that the small
enrolment is more largely due to
children being taken out of the schools
during the grammar grade period to
help earn a living in the large cities
and industrial centers. In the South
where poor roads and small school at
tendance both exist TO the largest eX
tent, the taking of children from the
schools at an early age is increasing
because of the rapidly increasing en-

ployment OF children in cotton mills
and other industries. it is deceptive
to endeavor To saddle upon bad roads
the responsibility for the fact that
half the children in the United States
of school age are not actually in
school
Nevertheless, il is being demon
strated that roads do have large
effect upon attendance at rural
schools. This is shown by the fact
that the states with the best roads
have the largest average attendance
as well as the largest per cent of en-
rollment. 1t is probable that the same
lack OF enterprise which leads a COM
munity to neglect it's roads is also re-
fiected in lack of appreciation Of good
schools and the necessity for regular
attendance, showing that the problem
is not simply one of roads. Yet in
those states where consolidated
schools have become numerous, and
children are taken to the schools in
conveyances, the enrolment and aver
age attendance are both much in
creased. Also, the schools are them
selves great deal better, resembling
closely the graded schools of towns.
Illteracy is not a road problem, eX-
cept in part, but good roads enter so
much into the general problem Of
rural educatioal. industrial, religious
and social life. that the movement for
better roads has come to be one of
the greatest and most important now
demanding attention Of local, state
and federal governments.

There are myriads Of educated per-

who knows the sphere in which he

his powers to present conditions, is an

ORPHEUMS BILL

There's so much of interest and
beauty at the Orpheum this week that
1t depends almost upon personal taste
to decide just which act of the cur

are leaving the theater raving over
Lasly's Beauties" 1t Is also true that
great many are admiring some Of
the other features. For instance, there
is Howard Ratcliff and company in
comedy variety act that in fifteen
minutes calls in as much variety and
clever entertainment as any act that
has been seen at the Orpheum this
season. There are just. three play
ers in this sketch and they do their
stunts before their own special cur
tain. but the fun they evoke during
the short time they are on view would
make the storied sphinx" laugh.
There's a girl in the act and by the
way she is just about the most charm
ing that has been here in many a long
day. And she is just as charming as
she is clever. A neat appearing and
