..FOOL PROOF"

What if the American teaching force of to-
day comes to consist of an inferior selection from
our present teachers, supplemented by high
school girls of no experience special training,
of temporary tenure and with only passing in
terest in this work? What if the prophecy of at
least one publisher of textbooks be realized, that
only "fool-proof'' textbooks must be published in
America for the present-for the reason, to use
his own words, that eve are going to have to deal
with just that type of teacher for the next ten
or fifteen years?" says The Nation. Such a
prediction from an unsentimental business man
with an eye to profits should set thinking.
America must not deude itself into believing
that it can put it's children into the hands of
teachers of the "fool-proof textbook type, and
yet expect these teachers to turn out a genera
ton of statesmen capable of graphing with the
problems of what promises to be the most criti-
cal period in the social and political history of
mankind. To achieve that result, the teachers
must be, the contrary, not only not inferior,
but markedly superior the best that can be
had, not merely in training and intellectual
equipment but in character, imagination and
social vision, and women fitted by virtue of
what they are to disseminate the spirit of dem
ocracy. We must put forever behind the
childish notion that reading, writing, arithme-
tic, and the rest are all there is to education.
For the genuine purposes of life, these are the
incidental products of teaching; it's central
products those intangible and imponderable
things, that total attitude towards life, which
the child takes in, unconsciously as it takes in
the air, from the personality of the teacher as a
whole. Woe to the future if that personality be
of inferior grade!

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN on SALTS
Flush the Kidneys at once when
Backachy or Bladder bOthers-
Meat forms uric acid.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally
says a we'll known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they sluggishly filter or
strain only part OF the waste and
soisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, con-
stipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from slug
gish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache
in the Kidneys or your back hurts, or
if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full
of sediment, irregular of passage or
attended by a sensation of scalding,
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any reliable pharmacy and take
a tablespoonful in a glass OF water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with Iithia and has been used for
generations to flush ciogged kidneys
and stimulate them to activity, also
to neutralize the acids in urine so It
no longer causes irritation, thus end
ing bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure: makes a delightful effer-
vescent Whitewater drink which all
regular meat eaters should take DOW
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney omplications.-adv
