keeping the audience interested and
sympathetic. DR.. Shawkey Selected
the three general types of boys found
in the home and school, each requiring
a different understanding and method
of teaching, speaking at the same time
in a broad, general term and delight
fully personal vein. He typified the
three examples from his own boys all
in the difficult stages of adolescence.
The types he classified as first, phys
icaI; second, the average type, and
third, the mental type, each requiring
a completely different method of
teaching and training, suited to their
various phases Of development.
Get the child interested in what is

Prof Hixon on Health
An illustrated health lecture pre-
ceded Dr. Shawkey's talk. Mr.. Hix-
on in short address said that the
purpose of the health crusade was
for a strong America because of phys
ically strong and healthy citizens as
result of clean lives and clean bodies
and clean ideals. The best and only
way to attain this, said Mr. HiXon,
was to inculcate the right ideas and
through the home and school rooms,
principally through the school rooms
where most of the children's lives are
spent and their ideals formed. He ex-
plained the purpose and use or the
health score cards in impressing chll-
dren with the necessity OF each DAY

lutions. To stimulate a wholesome
rivalry and create interest suitable
