TEACHERS RISE TO COUNTRY'S NEED


the shape of a need to talk and so
on; and if none of these is prac-
ticable it expends itself in a
wholly imaginary communications
"Then there must be a spirit of
cooperation. This term cooper
alton carries the most vital sug-
gestion in all our social thinking
and acting in modern life. 1t
must characterize all institutions
in a democracy. So the school,
an important institution of our
democratic life, must not fall
short in this particular. All the
marks indicated above of a So
cailized recitation imply this idea
Of cooperation. Life cannot go
on without it. The recitation ac-
cording to social standards cam
not go on without it. There is no
better way to have the child par
ticipate actively in the general
welfare than to be able and will
ing to work in cooperation with
others for the time being. Dem
ocracy depends for its perpetual
tion and progress upon this type
of individual. There is no better
situation than the recitation for
the exercise of this social virtue.
There is no other way in which
the school can contribute so GER
tainly to the accomplishment of
the aim of all education
"And there must be opportun-
ity for the personal self to assert
itself. Personality is the ultimate
goal of all education. The child
from a very early age realizes the
self-idea, but he often has a great
difficulty in expressing it. He
grows into a realization Of his
personal self thru social condi-
tions. Society is the looking glass
in which he sees himself. The
struggle for survival often takes
the form Of self-consciousness
and is iostled about in all sorts of
cruel ways. 1t often releases itself
in this form in the recitation and
the teacher plays havoc with it, if
she is not wise in human nature.
1t accompanies sex differences
and requires the most delicate
care in handling. The recitation
properly socialized will take into
account the nurture Of this most
important characteristic of the
individual. To reach the highest
human ttainment one must be a
person. This is the essence of
society,""

Indian River To Have Outlet

Residents of Sussex county are

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS

 Bladder To lrritated.

If you must have your meat every day, eat 1t, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally says a noted author. ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kid. neys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region. sharp pains in the back or sick headache. dizziness. your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night
 To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

GRAMMAR IN DECAY
MODERN CARELESSNESS OF DIS
 TiNcTloN IS CRITICIZED.
Vocabulary Has Become the Despair of Dictionary Makers, But the Proper Usage of Words Is
 Little Considered.

Whether our speech is to serve us as a mitten or as glove depends on the pains we are willing to take with distinctions like those in should" and would" what" and that" the boys" and of the boy" a writer in the Boston Herald observes. For our thought, both in seeing things and in mulling them over, is far subtler and more finely shaded than the core dress to our friends: in such expres- sion as we can reach, we depend on the trim distinction of our grammar as directly as the typist on the distinc- tions of her keyboard or the wood carver on the differences of his gouges. well-based grammatical distinction is to lessen by just that amount our means of matching our thoughts with our words.
 Unhappily our careless use of the mother tongue is confusing forms and dropping distinction that even collo- quial wording can i'll spare. Our enor nous vocabulary grows faster than the dictionary makers can issue appendix and new edition; but our grammar like an aging tree. is decaying at the tips Take for instance would" and should" Here in New England the distinction fingers.

They Find Vap.O Rub Better Than ln- ternal Medicines for Group and
 Cold Troubles.

Mrs. J. s. Pugh, 510 Market St.. and Mrs. Mary Bolton, 105 Ravine St.. both of Fulton, Mo. have found. in common with many other Missouri mothers, that it is no longer necessary to dose children with internal medi- cines for cold troubles. In the South Vicks Vap-O-Rub is the standard remedy for these troubles, but it was only last winter that it was introduced here. Vap-O-Rub was discovered by a North Carolina druggist. He found how to combine Menthol and Camphor with the volatile oils of Thyme, Euca. lyptus, Cubebs and Juniper, in salvs form, so that when applied to the body. the ingredients are vaporized by the body heat.
 These vapors are inhaled with each breath, through the air passages, to the lungs. carrying the medication di- rect to the affected parts, and, in ad- dition, Vick's is absorbed through the skin. taking out the tightness and
