The things we do in foolish haste

view his wad, and think how much IT
cost, the strain that bends his shout
ders broad, the efforts that exhaust.
He won't call in his wife and aunt,
their counsel wise to win; he'd think
it was some sort of plant if those girls
butted in oh, oftentimes | am inn
PEELED to seek the marts of trade,
where bargain counter sales are held,
and blow the coin I've made. But long
ago I made a rule TO think such yearn-

day I'd buy the car that flies our
gasping village through; tomorrow
morn I'll realize that my old boat will

Schools for Thinkers

The primary purpose of all education should
be to teach fundamentals so that the child will
be able to think rightly and govern his conduct
in life on sound theories
When a school system accomplishes that pur-
pose it has attained everything that justly can
be demanded of it.
Mere training of the child that it will
know mathematics, grammar, history, literature
and science will not suffice. These are only
means to an end.
A rogue may have learned all these things
well in school and perhaps may have been the
leader of his class, and yet no one will say that
he is desirable citizen
Schools must train the child to think along
right lines, so that it see under the surface,
determine on right action, detect fraud and hum
bug and govern its life on the basis of sound
principles.
That isn't an easy thing to do, for all of us
are mentally lazy, prone to seek the short cut,
and to adopt the easiest expedient. We don't
want to think; we are satisfied to let the other

fellow do that while we follow complacently in
his footsteps.
Teachers have no trouble to arouse an inter
est in sports in their pupils. They take up games
with alacrity. Adults will find pleasure tinker
ing about the house, playing golf or going to
baseball games. No urging is necessary to at
tain these purposes. But all of u.s. youth and
adult will postpone to the last minute project
that requires thought.
Education to be of practical worth in our
democracy must teach the child to think. Teach
ers who are thinkers, who know how to think
constructvely, are necessary if this end is to be
attained. Pupils must have before them the ex-
ample of parents who think in order that these
young people may learn how to select and judge
for themselves.
Huxley, in summing up what he believes con-
stitutes education, says:
THAT man, think, has had liberal educa-
ton who has been trained in youth that his
body is the ready servant of his will, and does
with ease and pleasure all the work, as a mechan-
ism it is capable of; whose intellect is clear,
cold, logic engine, with all its parts of equal
strength, and in smooth working order; ready,
like steam engine, to be turned to any kind of
the anchors of the mind; whose mind is stored
with knowledge of the great fundamental truths
of nature and of the laws of her operations one
who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire
but whose passions are trained to come to heel
by vigorous will, the servant of tender con-
science; who has learned to love all beauty
whether of nature or of art to hate all vileness
and to respect others as himself.

FARM BURDENS
TO BE RELIEVED
| Wife of Prominent Indiana Farmer
Discusses Question of
| Vital Importance.

In recent statement, Mrs. S. W.
Smith. of Rural Route CO., Indian
apolis, the wife of a prominent Indiana
farmer, stated that if more men and
women living on farms would take
Pepgen to build their strength and
yigor, the burdens of farm work would
become a great deal easier.
Although prominent and well
known, Mrs. Smith did not hesitate
to give her own experience with Pep
gen for publication in order that she
might assist others who are in poor
health. She says:
Il suffered with my stomach for
years. During this period l kept TAX
ing medicine after medicine. There
wasn't one of them that did me any
good My most severe trouble was
pains in my stomach. Often at night,
after | had gone to bed, the pains be-
came so severe that they would
awaken me. Then it would be several
hours before could get back to sleep.
Since taking Pepgen my stomach
trouble has disappeared and I am
feeling fine OF course, after what
this medicine did for me, l am glad
to recommend it to others"
Pepgen is a new system tonic which
is now being specially introduced at
