When We draw near the river of
death, know we will look on much of
the past as obsolete, as trifing. Wealth
will have gone, health may have fled,
friends have passed over, the road of
life will be marked with graves, all
to remind US of vanished years. But
though we lose all we have, let US
cherish the presence and heed the adj
monition of this Divine guest. He will
enable us to turn our backs upon a
sin-stained past and our faces toward
the sunrise of new hope and a new
life. He will give us power to ride
the waves of death and to stand at
last clad in the robes of Christ's
righteousness He will enable US to
merge the battlecries of life into the
triumphant song of the redeemed; to
exchange the sword of conflict for the
crown of the victor, For anxiety, tur-
MOL and WEAKNESS He will give US
ceaseless rest-rest unbroken in the
presence of the Lamb. JOANNES.

Automobile Insurance Rates Rise.

Automobile owners will pay premi-
ums averaging about 10 per cent, ad-
vance for insurance against theft of
their cars under new rates adopted
by the National Automobile Under
writer's conference. Although the
new schedule has not reached local
auto insurance agents, practically all
of them will use the new rates. Fire
and transportation rates on automo-
biles are practically identical with
last years. The largest increases in
theft rates are on the lower priced
cars. In rural districts the rate re-
vision is downward because of the
lower theft hazard.

THEY LEARN SLOWLY
Claimed Text Books In Schools Not
WOrded to Make Children
Understand.

~ uucISIdhus
Considerable comment is heard these
days on the public schools and the ap-
parent backwardness of the present
day pupil. If the judgement of some
who have passed through the public
schools is any guide, much of the con-
fusion and apparent lack of knowledge
today is due to the text books in use.
Just now one fifth grade class in
the county is about entering upon the
study of fractions. Here is the defini-
ton of a fraction given in the text
book being used:
"The number of equal parts into
which a unit is divided to form the
fractional units is the denomination,
and the number of equal fractional
units taken to make fraction is the
numerator of fraction"
This definition of a fraction, while
perhaps correct, is about as scientific
ally stated in the above as it can be
and is certainly not intended to make
much of an impression upon an eight.
year-old or ten-year-old child
In the olden days the rule about
fraction ran something like this: "a
fraction consists of numerator and
denomination. The denominator is the
number below the line and shows how
many parts the unit has been divided;
the numerator is the number above the
line and shows how many parts have
been taken to form the fraction"
