When the early pioneers built their log cabins, their
son im~itatively went into the nearby forest and con-
structed their own play-dwellings out OF saphngs and
small logs. In this way they learned the principles OF
cabin construction.
Later, in the days when a square meal still could
be bought for a quarter, the lads built shanties out OF
old lumber, incidentally developing their building in

The loss in the passing of the shanty is more than
sentimental. 1t is the extinction of a pastime for de-
veloping the building instinct in youth.

your whistle. pucker your lips n
let out one note-like this"
The boy grins and gets out a low.
faint note. He is told to practice
puckering up and whistling a steady
note five times a day.
Seeks Cure for Stammcring
Then comes the smiling gray
haired m of the class. After a
few false starts she gives a wavering
version of Yankee Doodle" as a
test Of her ability. She stammers a
little when excited, she explains, and
she is interested to see whether
whistling will help.
81 admire your courage" says the
doctor. I'VE a teach you to
whistle anyway"
The doctor says that he has found
only one person who could not learn
to whistle. Why this boy could not
remains a mystery. Either he could
not grasp the idea of how to force
the sound out, or he could not con-
troll the muscles. While others in
the class advanced from steam en-
CINE noises to scales and on to my
Old Kentucky Home" this boy never
succeeded in producing a feeble
pipe.
But he is a rare exception, DR..
Swift believes. With patience and
practice almost anyone can learn to
give his voice exercise by whistling.
DR.. Swift says that more attention
should be given to speech defects,
especially in children. In every
schoolroom there are about two
speech detectives he finds. This
seems like a comparatively small
number. but multiplied by the num-
Der of schoolrooms in a city it be-
comes more impressive.
Some OF the detectives have or
ganic trouble. Many are the victims
of Indifference. bad training, and
habit. Mothers think that children
will grow out of lisping, stammering
and baby talk. Too often, however
the way of speaking becomes nor
deeply rooted through habit. 1t Is
far harder to correct defects in d
child at twelve than in a five-year.

roo MUCH MATERIAlISM

Discussing in one of the magazines the everlasting
hquestion of whats wrong with our schools the writer
Asays:
1--WE have suffered our public schools to become
te spoil of materialists. We have allowed ourselves
r % be persuaded that the important thing is to instruct
how merely to obtain a living rather than how to live.
.And the cream Of the jest is that the opponents
i of vocational training are defeating their own purposes
Z because they will not see that even material success de-
\ pends not so much upon mechanical efficiency as upon
4 nersonalty. imagination, knowledge of men and
women and of the economic forces which play upon
ones business
Y There is certainly a good deal in this view. The voca-
mmional training people tend to go too far in the public schools
aas the technical training people do in the univerNties. The
Aife is more than meat and the body than IGA Emit and no
asvstem of education will ever really suGimI unless II &C
MsSnowledges this truth. Even for EHrcceed purposes, as the

Election Law Changed

WOODBRIDGE. Sept. This
township is one of the many munlc-
qualities affected by the change in
the election laws made during 1922.
One of the first changes to be noted

consisted of four members for each
election district, two male and two
female members duly ele ctea in the

bers of the municipal com mittees of
political parties shall consist of the
elected members of the county COM
mittee in each municipality, which
is composed of one male and one
female from each district.

CONDITIONS FOR HELPING EUROPE

~ A sneaker at the Institute OF Politics In Wllllamsto"n,
nroposes a set of conditions which, met by Europe, he
cahinks. would Justify the United States in a greatly extended

he Large reduction of German reparatlons.
Ps Increased taxation.
a Balanced budgets.
si Shutting down of money printing presses.
= Removal of trade and transportation restrictions.
All of these, it must be admitted, are good sugSes-
ions which would rebound greatly to Europes own benefit
II the same time, it must be confessed that not all oil them
