 white From plants that showed the tender

 When fragrance so sweet, And white blooms at my feet, Showed it's life had made its own

Boys, don't do anything on the sly
this was the only don't in the gos-
pei Do as preached by Old Sawney,
great master of a small but great
school for boys down in Tennessee
once upon time, school where the
child's mind was trained, his charac-
ter built and his spirit developed
though doubtless the meagerness OF its
formal curriculum would be scoted at
by most of our modernists in educa-
ton. Old SaUney's idea of educating
a boy was to make man of him, ana
that idea he carried out every time
he had worthwhile material to work
on, says Ohio State Journal. His dos
were few and elementary, and his one
don't was enough, even if he might
have cast IL into the form of a 90 F.:

THE TEACHERS CALLING.

Teachers worthy Of places in the
schools in which American children
are prepared for life, for making a
living, for the duties and respOnsibifi-
ties of democratic citizenship and for
eternal destiny, can never be fully
paid i'm money, writes DIR. P. p. ClaX-
ton in an exchange. Men and women
worthy Of this highest Of all callings
will not think first of the pay in mon
ey or in any other form. For teach
ers, as for other workers, Ruskin
holds: IF they think first Of pay and
only second Of work, they are servants
Of him who is the lord of pay, the most
unerect friend that fell. If they think
first of the work and it's results, and
only second Of their pay, however i'm
portant that may be, then they are
servants of Him who is the Lord of
all work. Then they belong to the
great guild of workers and builders
and saviors Of the world together with
Him, for whom to do the will of Him
that sent Him and finish His work is
both meat and drink"

Perhaps there is nothing so very
strange in the enthusiasm that is now
apparent in Argentina for everything
associated. with aviation, says Chris
tian Science Monitor. The Andes, on
Argentina's western boundary, are
rather high mountains, the crossing OF
which has always constituted prob
lem for the inhabitants upon either
side. Aviation simply offers new
method, which the South Americans
have been quick to exploit. 1t Is also
to be remembered that Argentina is
a country Of both magnificent dis
tances and magnificent fortunes.
What more natural than that the lat
ter should be used, on occasion, to
overcome the former, now that cir
planes can be had at price?

YOUS SHARE IN FIRE LOSSES

In the United States the loss by fire
each year is about C,OOO, ON0S3
for every man, woman and child in
the republic. In Europe it Is about
81 cents. Those best qualified to
speak say Americas huge bill is due
to rank careleSsness, remarks Phila-
delphia Ledger, and it could be re-
duced if carelessness was made as
costly here as it is abroad. In Eu-
rope, if investigation shows the person
in whose house or establishment the
fire started did not take reasonable
precautions, he not only is held la
BILE for such loss as he sustained, but
for the losses sustained by his neigh
bors and, if his carelessness has been
fragrant he is likely to be fined heay-
iIy or sent to jail. Making careless
ness costly would reduce the fire Dill
Of America materially and also reduce
insurance rates.

Bubbles light as air are notorious
for the weighty possibilities that may
develop from them. TO the lay mind,
however, it is astonishing that the de-
struction of the land by inroads OF the
sea can be cOmbated more cheaply and
effectually by compressed air released
from tubes sunk in the sea floor, than
by the old-fashioned method of solid
masonry. The ascending bubbles
break the force of the waves, as has
been. conclusively shown by recent ex-
