STUART BREACHES
 TEACHER SERMON.
Says Instructor Instills Character In Youth
 full Minds

A child is imaginative, initiative and observant and often learns far more for the example set by his teachers than from his books. declared Dr. George r. Smart in his special sermon to teach CTS of Birmingham schools at the First Methodist church Sunday
 Dr. Stuart, while taking his text from First Timothy, 4-12, held up the old Aesop proverb, Youth is instructed by nothing more than by example, as a thought, which teachers should always bear in mind.
 The first point brought out in the sermon is that n teacher molds youth, in much the same manner as potter mQlds clay. Just as potter puts a shapeless lump of clay on his wheel. so does a, a,teacher play an important part in bringing out the youthful character.
 The second point brought out by Dr. Stuart was that . teacher is a substi- ute for poor training in the home; for homes where there is no training at all, and for homes where the training is bad. In this great opportunity, the teacher is assisted by the minister and the Sunday school teacher. The re- ligious workers bear only small part of the burden of developing character in a child, because the church occupies only two hours of the child's life every week, while the teacher is in contact with the child five days week.
 Another point emphasized was that the example set by the teacher must be constructive.
 "A child is 60 per cent destructive and 40 per cent constructive" A de- low his natural inelination," Dr. Stuart said,

College President Tells Of Moral Conditions
 Abroad

Personal observations while touring France. Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, England and Scotland were told Sunday night at the. West End Methodist church by Dr, Guy E. Snavely, presi- dent of Birmingham-Southern college, talking on the subject, Moral and So- cial Conditions in Europe"
 The only place Dr. Snavely noted any labor unrest, he said. was in Eng land, where a large number of men are out of work and are existing by the government dole.
 Italy, on the surface appearing very placid, is having minor labor troubles in certain sections, he stated, but knowl- edge of this was gained only through newspaper accounts. These, however. are attributed to be an undercurrent of feeling against Mussolini and the Fascist.
 T was delighted and surprised to find Naples, in southern Italy in such fine moral and social shape. On Sun day, stores and business places are closed up tighter than in the United States. While almost every other door is q cafe, all seemed to be well patron. ized and everybody seemed to have money to spend for pleasure" Dr. Snavely said.
 "Another fact wheh was strongly i'm. pressed upon me vys the number of Germans who freqdented the famous resorts. There seemed to be no ill.feel-

Kansas City Doctors Discovery Makes Truss or Operation
 Unnecessary

Kansas City, Mo.-A new discovery which, experts agree, has no equal for curative effects in all rupture cases, is the latest accomplishment of Dr. Andrews, the we'll known Hernia spe- cialist of this city. The extraordinary success of this new method proves that it holds and heals a rupture. It weighs only few opnces. Has no hard gouging pads, no elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel bands, and is as comfortable as a light garment. It has enabled hundreds of persons to throw away trusses and declare their rupture absolutely healed, Many of these had serious double ruptures, from which they had suffered for years. It is Dr. Andrews' ambitionsto have every rup- tured person SnjDy the quick relief, comfort and healing power of his dis covery, and he will send it on free trial to any reader of The Age-Herald who writes him at his office, 5S91 Koch Bldg, Kansas City, Mo.
