Athenian citizen who invented the

of Socrates in 47O B. G, there was very
lfccaa thinking done. and most Of that
was put Up IN canned form for the use
Of the ruling classes. Socrates changed
all this by introducing a number OF
original thoughts into the language of
the country. which caused him to be
regarded as n suspicious character and
finally led TO his death.
II Socrates had been willing TO let
other people furnish the material for
his thinker, he would have lived longer
and died with less personal discomfort
He was a proud man, however. and
preferred to die in a lingering and un-
satisfactory manner rather than swal-

the sake OF peace. This teaches us
that N there were more Socrates on

Cool Heads In School

When fire was discovered in the basement of
New York public school, the jantor telephOned up to
the principal The principal gave the fire signal to
the teachers which meant to dismiss classes without
coats and hats and in three minutes every child was
out of the building.
The fire company had been telephoned that the
fire was in the coal bins and not in immediate danger
of blazing out; the fremen waited until the children
were safely away from the building, that there
would be no unnecessary excitement among the children
and the whole affair was managed so senslbly that
not child was scared. The kindergarten classes
were right the burning bins but the little tots
from four to six years old, knew their places and
marched out as quietly disciplined soldiers.
