Erwin who is the OF cial evangelist

likened the man "who would pray

some ancestor as his God, and who
would threaten his God" that unless
his prayers were answered he would
feed him TO the dogs"
At the evening service the eyange-
list introduced a community sing

whistle the old familiar hymn, Beu-
lah Land, while the young people in
the choir sang the words, Last year
Rev. Erwin was director of social
service for one OF the large churches

was to teach the people to smile and

The Doctors and the War

No one can look at the war record of the ply
sicians of Wayne county without concluding that
tie members of the profession did their bit grand
~ in the World war. Nineteen of their calling
answered the summons to service. Many of them
are still in foreign camps or garrisons at home.
The sacrifice which they brought cannot be
blinked by their most severe critics. The prac-
tice which physician builds up is the result of
years of hard work in which not only his exper-
fence and ability but also his personality plays
an important part. AS soon as he leaves the city,
his patients are forced to seek other practition-
ers and often they hesitate in breaking the new
relationship between doctor and patient to re
sumo treatments from their old family physi-
cian.''
That so many of our physicians entered the
service speaks high of their devotion to country
and flag. It ranks with the patriotism of the
boys who left the home fireside to fight for the
demonstration of the world. The community
in paying a deserved tribute to the fighters OF
Wayne county, should not overlook the work OF
the men Of the medical profession. No single
No profession was so signally in a position te
do good to the wounded fighters than the doctors
The very nature Of their vocation imposed the
bringing of heavy sacrifice. That they brought
it in such large numbers and with such good grace
is commendable.

INTEREST ON SCHOOL
BONDS IS INCREASED

Bonds for $4,000, bearing four and
three-fourths per cent interest will
be issued by the city school trustees
for the purpose of purchasing sites
for the new Junior high schools, II
the plans of the board are adopted by
the city council tonight.
Originally the bonds were intended
TO bear four and oRe-half per cent, but
upon recommendation of the State
Tax Commissioners, the rate of in
terest was increased owing to the diff
ficulty that would be found in selling
the bonds alta the lower rate. The
bonds will be sold as soon as possible
after the proposal is approved by the
city council, and plans for the new
buildings will be begun at once.
Owing to the rapidly increasing val
ue of the proposed sites. the land will
be purchased Immediately although
the erection of the first of new build
ings on West Seventh street will be
begun before next fall.

pensive one, but this easily can be answered by
pointing to the fact that if the initial outlay
is great, the amount of money necessary for re-
placement and repair will be very small, SO that
in the long run the original high cost is offset Dy
the small repair bills that follow. Ten miles OF
brick highway in year are preferable 60
thirty miles of macadam that will have to be re-
paired within the course of eighteen months. An
inspection of any of the recently made macadam
highways Of the county will convince anyone that
the day is gone when this form of material can
be satisfactorily used for our road system.
Permanence must be the element which our
county officials must seek in authorizing new
road improvements in this county. It is short
sighted policy to construct roads that are not
hard-surfaced. Too often our public officials au-
thorize improvements that give them argument to
show that their administration has been eager
to make improvements for the county. An adj
ministration that orders the construction Of ten
miles of brick highway has more to boast Of than
an administration that constructs twenty or
thirty miles of improvements which probably
will not remain in first class condition long
they are in office.

How Did Children
Mernorize Lessons
IN the Olden Times?

A child who goes to school in the
quiet, orderly, and efficient present
day schools would be totally lost amid
the babble and confusion OF the first
schools taught in Wayne county. For
they were what is termed loud
schools" Practically every lesson
was memorized by REPETITION in loud
voice, and school was considered eff.
flcient when every one of the 20 or
30 pupils was reciting at the top of
his voice.
Early educators argued that this
system of instruction was best, be
cause sound trained the memory and
gave inspiration; children would be
trained to think among the noise and
confusion of later life, and the recita-
ton of some pupils did not distract
the others.
| 1t was also argued that the method
was a guarantee against idleness and
sham study. Schooling was expen
t-siye, and the teacher must know that
the children were studying. An early
teacher would sometimes say to q
I.quiet pupil: Speak up, let us hear
what you are saying"
Later the schools became partially
loud and partially silent. Only the
spelling lesson was prepared aloud
The first school on the silent plar
was taught about 1920 by Maria Hol
man, the daughter of an educated
English immigrant, at Jacksonburg.
Isaac Hiatt was the first teacher tt
introduce the silent plan into the
part of the county where Richmond
now stands. The loud method die
not wholly give way until 1885 or SO
when it was wholly abandoned il
favor of silent schools
