ANOTHER SPLENDID STEP.

A / meeting of the Board of
Education of Sumter county
this week most important and far
reaching resolution was passed and
policy for higher education marked
out for Sumter county than ever be-
fore in the history of the county.
This resolution, as introduced by j.
L. d. Ship and unanimously voted
by the board, provides that hereafter
no teacher shall be employed in any
of the schools of the county unless
said teacher has taken literary
or scientific degree at some duly ac-
credited college or be a normal col
lege graduate. This standardzes
the schools of Sumter and puts them
on a higher plane than most of the
city. school of the South.
State Superintendent Britain
lately stated that the rural schools
of Sumter had made greater i'm
provement within the last four years
than any county in the state ever
made in so short a period. The
County Board of Education has been
untiring in its efforts and now the
grand climax of the consolidated
schools has been reached. Teaching
now is regarded by the county board
as profession and only duly pre-
pared and will qualified teachers
will be employed.
No schools in the South set high
er standard than Sumter's rural
schools.

KEY TO GREATNESS?

SCIENTIFIC investigation of the
human body's endocrine glands
may answer the battling mystery Of
"why so many writers come from
Indiana"
Gifted writer's usually have abnor-
mally active thyroid glands, with the
customary symptoms of hyper-thy-
roidism-artistic temperament, vivid
imagination and the semi-trance that
makes life seem a fantastic. unreal
dream.
Something that stimulates the thy
roid probably existssin the air, water
or other phase of the climate of In
diana.
Each district of the earth produces
characteristic type of people. You
observe this emphatically when you
see a man from Japan standing be-
side a man from America.
Similarly, you find the people
different in variousparts of the Unit
ed States One section is quick
moving and restless. Another is Ian
guild, even INDECENT. A third is
slow-thinking, almost stupid. So it
goes, and people move about until
they find district where the in
habitants appeal to them, where they
sit in"
Glandular research bay be the
key to the reason why certain parts
of the earth's surface produce so
many agitators, artists, musicians,
inventors, dumb bells" captains of
industry and so on.
You have heard people say in.
stinctively, There's something in
the water in that section that doesn't
agree with me, makes me feel out
of sorts. " In other words, the water
does not supply the chemicals heces-
sary to the individuals peculiar
glandular nesds.
Something in the climate of ia.
pan affects the pituitary gland, pro-
ducing race of short people. Far
ther west, the climate works on
pituitary glands to produce the tall
Mongolians. Pituitary glands regu-
late the growth of the skeleton and
supporting tissues. Climate, work.
ing on pituitaries, is what makes
some section notorious for big feet.
In the thyroid belt around the
Great Lakes, women incline to have
large necks, with many golfers.
Climate, affecting the glands
regulates emotions and intellect as
well as bodily peculiarities. Thus
the hot tropical countries are eter-
aally foaning with revolution. And
IN the northern countries there is less
emotion and more brain.
Maybe climatic reaction on glands
IS why Ohio produces so many presi-
dents.

There is always a bright side. If
