THINKING

If you think you are beaten, you are If you think you dare not, you don't, If you'd like to win, but you think you
 cant,
 It's almost a cinch you won't. If you think you'll lose. you're lost, For out of the world we find Success begins with a fellows will, It's all in the state of mind. If you think you're out t-classed, you
 are;
 You've got to think high to rise, You've got to be sure of yourself
 before
 You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don's always go To the strongest or fastest man; But, soon or late, the man who wins. Is the man who thinks he can."

ACTIVE MIND ABOVE BOOKS

Most of us are too prone to forget that the real education is of the heart and not the head-that much that is most valuable to all of us cannot be found within the covers of books. That person who tells lie or in any way wrongs his neighbor is not edu- cated in the true sense of the word even though his mind is teeming with facts gleaned from texts on various subjects. We'll we know that there are many so-called educated rascals in our prisons today, while many whom the world would call unedu- cated have that integrity of charac- ter which only the truly educated can claim. Oliver Wendell Holmes said something worth while in this con nection:
 among them, and have the easy feel ing, when l get into their presence, that stableboy has among horses. don't think undervalue them eith- CT as companions or as instructors. But cant help remembering that the worlds great men have not commonly been great scholars. nor its great scholars great men. The Hebrew pa triarchs had small libraries, think, If any; yet they represent to our i'm aginations a very complete idea of manhood, and. think. t we could ask in Abraham to dine with us next Sat urday, we should feel honored by his company. What I wanted to say about books is this That there are times in which every active mind feels itself above any and all human books.-Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.

 When Miss Keever announced that there would be short noon hour, the few pupils in the high school room. who had not brought their lunch looked upon Leona Chudchill with beaming glances, as she volunteered going to the city and getting some eatables. Elizabeth OLoughlen and Margaret Foster hurred to set table "a typewriter stand covered with a theatrical curtain, made of a sheet. Leona brought the lunch and after some trouble can of pork and beans was opened. When all were seated the salt was minus, so George Wilson was sent frantically all over the build ing to find some. Miss Keever in formed him that both salt and pepper could be found in the dictionary. This might come under the head of brain food, but one would get rather thin if this were the only food one could get. Some folks suggested this was more (bohunkian) than a (bohemian) lunch, which consisted of saltless beans, saltless egg sandwiches. but terless crackers, and sugar dough- nuts Cat least the sugar was sup posed to be there). But later those who partook of this lunch decided that it was NOT the Perfect End of a Day.

Miss Elsie Spence is contemplating a trip to Chitina during the Christmas vacation where she will be the guest of Mrs Lawrence Brown,

NEED FOR BETTER ORGANIZE
 TON

We are the only nation of first class importance lacking a national bureau of education. It is said that our neglected bureau of education ex- bends but one per cent of the thirty millions of dollars given by our fsl- eral government to educational pur- poses. Eighty offices. divisions, bu- reaus, overlap and duplicate activi- ties. Nowhere is there proper cen ter for the protection and develop ment of the teaching service. Even the senate has not seen fit to have a separate committee for educational matters, but groups them with labor concerns under a chairman of labor and education. Some details in con nection with our childrens interests are attended to by the children's bu- reau, some by the department of agri- culture, some by the department or justice, and some by the department of the interior.
 The challenge to the American school is we'll defined. It is time our self-respect compelled us to put cur schools on sound working basis. time that we co-ordinated our nation al and state educational agencies, took all our school directors out of party politics, and strengthened our teaching profession by providing for it's adequate direction, adequate sal aries and adequate opportunities for its creative growth.-Josephine Ham mond in N. A. Review.
