WEST va. SCHOOL
in MCDOWELL co.
REPORTS PERFECT
]. F. Harrison, of Wayne,
is Principal, and Miss
Chattie Sullivan, Teacher,
in This School.

The following is from the Bluefieid.
w. Va, Telegraph:
Inc Mcdowell County Dental Clinic.
under the dictatorship OF G.. 7. Epling.
I finished their work at the Big Sandy
school Browns creek district. Janu-
airy 81. This school made 100 per cent
which means that each pupil In the
system, in which there are 1856 pupils
in attendance, has had his or her teeth
examined by one of the dentists of the
clinic and IL necessary teeth either
filed or extracted.
One OF the interesting facts brought
about by this work is that the pupils
IN the school that have perfect teeth
have made a record in school attend.
ance and In case they were absent
from school during the the present
term their excuses show that their
sickness was not caused by any d.
gestive trouble.
Twenty-Five per cent of the children
had no work for the dentists to do,
which was an increase Of fifteen per
cent over last year and nearly twenty
five per cent increase over two years
ago. This is attributed to the fact
that their teeth were left in perfect
condition last year by the clinics and
they were taught by the hygienists to
properly care for their teeth.
In the fifth grade room, Miss Chat
tie Sullivan, teacher, had worked
teeth project since the hygienists were
here last year. Through the help Of
the Colgate Company a close checking
system was used on each pupil. The
result was the grade had third of
the pupils with teeth in perfect condi-
tion. These children have practically
all made perfect attendance and are
noted throughout the system for their
personal cleanliness and excellent
school work.
J. Floyd Harrison of Wayne is prin-
cipal of the school.
This community was fortunate in
having two exaellently trained and
particularly energetic dentists to do
the dental work; DR.. Greenburg, OF
Harvard Dental College, and Caudil of
Baltimore Dental College. Both are
experienced in clinic work.
After the work was finished 1t was
Inspected by DR.. Epling. who went to
the various rooms of the system. He
also searched for symptoms Of mall
nutrition. These cases were advised
about the proper diet to make them
grow. Each grade was given short
demonstration Of what proper feeding
will do for the growing body.
The climax of the dental work was
reached when the community meeting
was held at the Recreation Hall at
Big Sandy Monday, March 20. All the
pupils of the system were brought to
this room by the various teachers.
Several parents were in attendance.

THE CHURCH CHEAT.

Church support is an obligation
Church attendance is a duty. Wor-
ship is absolutely essential. And every
honest man and woman discharges
these duties and obligations every
week. Contributions of time. talent
thought, and interest are demanded
II is an honor to give. 1t is an honor
privilege and duty to give. We are
Gods stewards. All we have has been
entrusted to us. 1t is our duty TO sup
port the church. The Christian church
has created and added fifty cents of
every dollars worth of property in
America.
Every time one goes to church he
should make an honest, conscientious
contribution to the great work of the
church. When the collection plate
reaches one his honor, sincerity, in
tegrity, and character are Immediate
~ tested and when he. because he
imagines no eyo sees him, puts upon
the plate pennies when he ought to
put pounds brands himself before God
and the Bar Of God as a thief. He is
perfectly willing to pay an extravagant
sum 20 go to filthy theater ques-
tionable show, or suggestive screen

received notices Saturday that he had

Dick explains that he is just plain
Kentucky colonel, by executive APP
pointment
An interesting feature Of the ap-
pointment is the fact that Colonel
Dick is an fashioned, rampant,
Kentucky Democrat, while the admin
istration is Republican.
The Leader:-'Professor j. r. john
son, 100 Bell Court, East a member of
the engineering faculty of the Univer-
sity of Kentucky, has been appointed

tive in politics.

Henry Ford Educates
Kentucky Children

Buried in hollow OF the big black
mountains OF Kentucky are two iso-
lated schools which are surprisingly
similar in conditions and methods to
the centralized schools to be found al
over the United states
These two schools are where miners
children learn their reading. 'ritin and
'ritbmetic. They are far above the or
binary Hill schools in Kentucky. which
is due, mainly 10 their being located
in two mining camps. that Henry Ford
owns. They are Kentucky county
schools located two miles apart; one
at each end OF Ford camp. The daily
attendance in each school is ninety
seven pupils.
A year ago II was far below that
This because the compulsory school
law was In lax enforcement and be-
cause. so Ford mine officials state, the
grade Of teachers was low because OF
small State pay.
When Ford took over his two mines,
one OF the main outside interests was
turned to the children OF the miners.
Pressure was brought 10 make Ay3 y
child attend class.
To the $50 a month, for a six months
term, allowed by the state, the mine
added another hundred and hired a
first class superintendent. Then an
other 800 was put up by the mine for
an assistant teacher. This was for a
six months period. The schools run
nine months however, and the mine
pays ALI of the salary for the other
three months.

The average churchgoer today is a
church cheat, robbing God. soaring his
conscience, and leaving unpaid his
honest obligations. The spirit of cheat
soon fastens itself upon some men, and
they actually stay away from church
in order to avoid the test to which
their characters will be put. The av-
erage churchgoer in America gives
three cents per Sunday for the great
est blessing ever bestowed upon man
kind. Therefore, the average church
cheat will have to face the Bar OF
Judgment and be branded as church
fraud robbing God, depriving the
church of her dues and preventing
the spread Of the gospel and the bless
ings of salvation to thousands.

NEW FIGHT IN
PROHIBITION
Proposal to Have Assignments
Made by Chief Justice
Brings Objections

Washington, March 10.-A new
fight involving enforcement Of pro
hibition. opened today in the sen
ate. during consideration Of a bill
to authorize l9 additional federal
district judges. Democratic sena-
tors opened fire on the bill imme-
diately, some opposing more judges,
others criticizing the assignments
proposed fol< he extra judges and
others opposing a. provision which
it was said. might place dry
judges in wet" states, or vice
versa.
The prohibition enforcement
question was brought up by Sena-
tor Broussard (Democrat) OF
Louisiana. one Of the leading op-
.ponents OF the Volstead law. He
said the Bills provision authoriz-
ing the chief justice of the supreme
court to assign district judges to
work in other than their own states
might result in trials by judges
who We're mot in accord with the
ideas OF the community
Senator Caraway CDemocraD Of
Arkansas said he had been ap-
preached by man urging support
Of the bill and told that '.the only
excuse for the assignment pro-
vision was to meet a situation caus-
ed by refusal of certain judges TO
enforce the law.
Senator Cummins tRepublican)
of Iowa, in charge. Of the meas
ure, said that never during its con-
sideration by the committee had
he heard any suggestion that some
organization was behind the bill
for. the purpose cited by Senator
Caraway, adding that he deplored
amy, narrow Or sectional view in
dealing with the bill and lack of
confidence in the chief justice. He
could not assume the assignment
power would be. abused.
IF believed that I would want
to abolish all courts said Sena-
tor Cummins.
The extra judges proposed. Sen
atoc Cummins said, were needed
urgently to correct present shame
fur administration OF justice, and
the condition Of federal court
dockets.
The bill went over for further
consideration.
