by Dean Talbot In an address just be-

10000 women were receiving educa-

West and West well endowed, had
been drawn into the hearts OF large
cities, and the heart of industry, and
that this offered the most fruitful
field. She characterized as IAN edu-

labor college in the South, adding
that there should be no call for such
an institution. that colleges should
take education to the frontiers and
that until they did so the excuse
for a labor college would continue.

Mrs. Frank w. Stearns. attended no

band:
MY dear Mrs. Gompers: It is with
great regret that I have heard Of your
bereavement, and / want to express
to you my deep sympathy in your
sorrow. Mr.. Gompers' whole life was
devoted to the interest of organized
labor, until his name has become al
most synonomous with the cause
which he represented. As the founder
and head of a great organization. no
man has had a wider influence in the
shaping of the policy of the wage
earners of the Nation, and his loss
will long be felt by his associates,
not only at home but abroad.

Since Prof. Harms let the world

humble toad, scientists from various
parts Of Europe have been flocking
to his work room here to hear the
details Of the transformation. The
trick, it is said, is quite simple, al
ter once natures ways have been
uncovered.
Other scientists, including Profess
sor Stomach, Of Vienna, who claims
successes with gland operation on
human beings, and Professors Hands
and Schultz, have been experiment
ing along the same lines for years,
principally with guinea pigs, rats
and mice, and while they nearly
reached their goal ON several occa-
sions, Old Dame Nature refused to
be outdone by upto-date scientists
and held onto her secrets Of the
ages. Other scientists, spurred on
by Prof. Harms discovery, have

force the laws, and when you get
such a man in office, get behind
him and keep him there and support
his efforts to maintain the dignity
of the law.
The father who adheres to these
principles, DR.. Barker told his hear
ers, does his duty toward his boy
and his community in greater de-
gree than the one who belongs to
an organization that takes the laws
in its own hands. "You have no
business taking the law into your
own hands," said he. IT'S risky busi-
ness, and no individual organization
has any right to do so, except where
state of absolute anarchy exists
and this doesn't exist in Americas,
Georgia.
DR.. Barker then went into an aX-
position of the great secret of life
as this should be impaired to boys
at given ages in life, his talk along
this line being one to inspire the
highest and cleanest standard Of
living not only among boys at ev-
cry age, hut among mature men and
married couples, temperance in ev-
cry relation being stressed through

or not; you may have a good rea-
son or poor reason for not belong
ing to any church, but l do say you
should 20 to church with your boy
every Sunday, Go to some church;
| am not concerned with what
church you attend" He then assert
ed That the boy who is sent off to
.church and Sunday school while his
father goes out to the club to play
golf, or goes anywhere else, is say-
ing to himself all the time, "just as
soon as | get old enough to be my
own boss, Pm not going to attend
church any more" He then asked
how many present would live in
community in which no churches
exist, answering his own interoga-
tory with an emphatic Not one"
Another fundamental duty Of ev-
Jerry father towards his son, DR..
Barker said, is to teach the boy re-
tspect for law. Learn your boys to
, respect the law Of the home, he
said, early in life and there lay the
foundation for him to respect not
only the laws of the community ard
state in future, but also to know
land live by the laws Of God and Ma
ture during more mature years. As
sorting that "the weakest spot in
America today is the growing ten
dency toward lawlessness," DR.,
Barker declared the man most
free is the one who refrains from
doing those things he knows to be
wrong" The laws of the commune
ity and state and nation are no more
binding upon the individual, he
said, than the laws Of society, the
laws of nature and the laws of God
Setting up three fundamentals ion
the guidance Of fathers in their reIa-
tons with their boys, Dr.. Barker
said:
First Teach your child to obey
every law, the speed laws and the
laws against bootleg liquor, as well
as every other law.
Second. Obey the laws yourself
make your son an example with re-
: spect to obeying the law as in ey-
| cry other respect.
