ones, and all but the least noble Wis
ions Of the future. Praise Of beauty
strikes him as effeminate, and any at
tempt to infuse an element of dis
tinction into life as undemocratic.
When seek to arouse his enthusiasm
for some general principle, he regards
me as an impractical theorist; when
] deprive him of some sentimental fall
lacy, am bitter pesimist and cynic.
Such philosophy as Arthur has .crys-
talizes in opposition to me and my
kind. Because I would rather study
and teach than make money, would
rather think sanely than act foolishly,
would rather be sad in truth than hap
ry in error, he despises and hates me
as natural enemy. And God for
give me-have found it in my heart
to despise and hate him. President
MacCracken Of Vassar has said that
the teacher must have faith in his
students. Yet I cannot dupe myself
into believing in Arthur. He would
like me better if I descended to his
level, but in so doing should merely
be losing my own soul without saving
his.
81 conclude that you have cast
Arthur for a role which he cannot
play because you are the victim of
certain widely prevalent decisions.
You believe that every American boy
should go to college, whereas only al
few American boys should go to COL
lege. You believe that. education can
remove fundamental defects of he
redity and the results of adverse home
environment, whereas it stands pow
erless in the face Of such obstacles.
You believe that liberal studies are
intended to increase earning power.
whereas they are intended to illumi-
nate the mind and spirit. You believe
that college life has great educative
value, whereas most of the activities
included in this term are forms of
play under pompous and wasteful dis
guises.
"If you have followed me thus far
you should be in no doubt as to what
to do with Arthur. Remove your son
from college and set him to work at
something within his powers. Col
lege education is an initiation into
the life of reason, and this life Arthur
will never lead. In certain forms of |
business, however, he would be sue
cessful; would become prosperous,
happy, useful and respected citizen. !,
There Is nothing undemocratic in re-
serving opportunities for those who
are qualified to- take advantage of
them. When you and men lire you
realize the foolish wastefulness and
cruelty of forcing advanced studies
upon the Arthurs of the nation, the
American college will be able to turn
to its proper task of de-
veloping the talents of the talented"

In making known the intention of
the Thatcher Laboratories to give a
limited number of free samples OF
this valuable medicine to men, women
and children in Pocomoke City and
Worcester county, officials of this
company made the following explana-
ton:
"The public is constantly offered
various tonics, tablets, etc., which are
claimed to produce marvellous results
in overcoming disease and weakness
and in building up strength and
weight. Many of these preparations
do bring some relief, and while prob
ably none of them do any harm. so
many fail to accomplish results that
suffering people have grown tired of
wasting their money on every new
nostrum that springs up.
TEACHERS PLAN SAFE
DR.. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syr-
up is not to be COMPOUNDED with the
ordinary patent medicine. This great
tonic is composed only Of medicinal in
gradients long recognized for their
superior powers in overcoming the
diseases caused by improper function
ing of the liver, stomach and bowels
and the impurities that poison the
blood.
"While there is ample proof of the
merit of this celebrated tonic of DR..
Thacher's, not only through exhaus-
tive analysis of the formula and labo-
ratory tests, but through results OBJ
tanned in actual cases over period
Of many years, still it is our desire to
further demonstrate to the people of
this section that DR.. Thacher's Liver
and Blood Syrup is something entirely
different from the commonplace RENE
dies.
''To accomplish this, we are willing
to bear the expense of proving the ex-
traordinary powers of DR.. Thacher's
prescription, both by our Money Back
If 1t Doesn't Help You guarantee and
by the distribution Of free samples of
the medicine to a limited number of
local people"
Anyone, who desires, may obtain
one of these free samples, as long as
the supply lasts, by calling on the
druggist in their town who is the au-
thorized agent for DR.. TEACHERS Liv-
err and Blood Syrup and requesting
one.
In Pocomoke City it is featured by
w. H. Clarke & Co, and in most cases
it is the leading druggist in every
town.

HELP PLACE MARYLAND
ON THE HONOR ROLL
By Subscribing To Endowment Fund
For Decoration OF Graves Of
Boys Who Fell In War.

Thirty-two thousand one hundred
American heroes of the World War
are buried in foreign soil in France,
Scotland, Ireland and Belgium. On
each Memorial day for the past three
years former comrades, present men,
bers Of the American Legion, have
reverently scattered flowers on the
graves of these fallen heroes.
1t is now proposed to raise an en-
dowment fund Of 100000 to 100000
for the perpetual annual decoration
of these graves so long as the United
States shall remain a nation. Mary
lands quota of this fund is approx
mately $4,000.
The American Legion will live only
so long as its present members live
but the memory of those heroes will
live for centuries. The Legion is to
be congratulated upon its proposal to
raise an endowment fund to be held
in trust and used for this purpose ex-
clusively.
In previous years the membership
of The Legion has provided the funds
for this work but it now requests our
assistance in raising this permanent
fund. It seems to be a matter of pub
lie interest in which every American
should be invited to participate.
The Democrat is glad to have this
opportunity to assist in presenting
this laudable undertaking to it's read
ers and will accept and forward any
subscriptions it's readers may care to
make. All monies will be forwarded
to Arthur Renouf, Commander of The
American Legion of Maryland, How
AIRED Street, Armory, Baltimore. The
Legion hopes to complete this fund
before May 1, 1923.
Announcements Of all contributions
will be made in this column.
Let's see that Worcester county
does it's share.

Poor Sort All Around.

"And so into Arthur's world of col
lege life burst with the stern claims
of scholarship. To him it is game,
a rather dull game. He tries to con-
ceal the fact that he is not studying,
and try to catch him. If I gave him
a passing grade, he would boast to
his fellows Of his talent for bluffing.
Since I won this curious contest, how
ever, he thinks me a cold-hearted ty-
rant. He wants me to raise his mark,
arguing that his work for the varsity
show entities him to a special dispen-
sation. Has he not been serving AL
ma Mater? If only you had taught
him to abide by the consequences of
his decisions!
"The boys mind is closed where it
should be open, and open where it
should be closed. He is infinitely
sceptical of ideal values, and infinitely
gullible in practical matters. He re-
iects all traditions except hampering
