SAYS GHOST STORIES INjURE
Tales Often Permanently Harm Chill
dren, Is the Assertion of Phila-
delphia Educator.

Robert l.. Burns, a district superin-
tendent, In recent address to Phila-
1elphia teachers, told them that 'fanci-
full stories" should be eliminated from
the schoolrOOm, the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger states. He expressed him
self as particularly opposed to stories
In which ghosts and hobgoblins are the
principal characters.
"As result of hearing ghost narra-
lives by the wholesale" he said, chill
dren develop severe cases of nerves,
which frequently follow them through
life. An Unreasonable amount of harm
has been done to children who are sub
jected to imaginative narratives Of
things which possibly cannot happen.
They become frightened and are
harassed by useless fears"
He warned the teachers against stir
ring the imagination of their pupils
along morbid lines unnecessarily.

Recipe tor Happiness.

The man who made exPresident
William H. Taft simmer, Dr. Charles
e. Barker of Washington, gave the fol-
lowing recipe for happiness in an adj
dress at Chicago: Look on the bright
side of every experience. Accept cheer
fully the place in which you find your
self today. Throw your soul into your
work. Do as many little kindnesses
as possible each day. Maintain child
like attitude of trust in your God.
The rich, as class, are the most I'M
happy people on earth because they
think they can buy happiness, like
commodity on the market. Poor peo-
pie frequently are happy, not because
of their poverty, but because they have
found the laws of happiness. Happi-
ness does not depend upon externals
ut all. It is dependent upon laws that
can be learned and obeyed."

Note About Moro Coffee.

Steps are being taken to rehabilitate
coffee growing among the Marano Mo-
ros Of Lanao, Philippine Islands. Cof-
fee at one time was exported In con-
siderable quantities from the Lanao
region. but owing to tribal wars and
armed resistance against the authori-
ties, the industry practically disap-
peared. A nursery has been estab-
lished with more than 100000 seed
lings. A considerable part of the farm
is to be planted to coffee, and the Moro
farmers are to be supplied free Of
charge with healthy young trees grown
from selected seed Recently $4,000
young seedlings have been furnished
the colonists at the American colony
of Momungan, and there Is every rea-
son to believe that coffee raising will
be profitable.
