Education Week ToBe Observed
 Next Week

', Observance of Education Week, No vember 17 to g, by the National League of Women Voters will be confined to the four days in the general program stressing the equalization of educational opportunity, according to the recom- mendation made by Mrs. Walter D. Brookings, chairman of the leagues committee on education.
 Know Your Schools is the appeal of Mrs. Brookings' committee to leagues in the various states. She emphasizes the value of visits to day and night schools, playgrounds and special classes as a means of not oAly broadening the knowledge of the educational system but also of acquainting parents and educational authorities with the need of desired changes.
 "Our cooperation in Education Week for this year must be confined to work along the lines of our own program, as adopted in convention after careful consideration" Mrs. Brookings says. -Four days in the program prepared by the United States bureau of education. the National Education association and the American Legion stand out as par ticularly our own. These relate to the opening of the doors of educational op- portunity to the child or to the handi- capped adult illiterate, and to the re- sponsibility of the voting citizen to the public school system. . An increase of public interest in educational matters and the ultimate development of a strong intelligent citizenship is the end we seek to promote in Education Week" :"
 The program outlined by Mrs. Brook ings for her staet chairmen follows:
 November 19-"A Trained Teacher for Every School" Visit the schools.
 November 20-"What Is Being Done and Ought to be Done in Special In- struction for Foreign-Born and Adult nliterates. Visit the night schools and special classes.
 November 21- Physical Education" Visit the school playgrounds.
 November 22-"The Machinery of Education, the Individual Voters Duty and Service to Education" Visit the public meetings of the board of educa- tion,

And this being the case, it seems to me that her husband might con- quer his own dumbness for the sake of making her happy. He might make it rule to tell her every day that in every way she was getting younger and prettier, and that he loved her better and would certain ly commit suicide upon her grave if she died.
 It would be a little thing to do to give so great happiness. But when d wife asks that tired busi- ness man should make love in new way to the wife to whom he has been married for years and years she is asking too much. It is an utter impossibility. He lacks the technique of Romeo. He possesses no fifty seven varie- ties of lovemaking. He was not born with honeyed phrases in his mouth and by no possible study can he acquire them.
 Of course, it is a blighting disaI pointment to every wife that her hu. band doesn't make love like matine hero, and that he doesn't pour sizzli

cannot say the pretty things women love, nor pay the compliments they adore, the man who has no words with which to plumb the depths of the love that fills his soul, very often has thousandfold more affection and ten derness for his wife than the glib talker who jollies a woman along and who covers up his selfishness under the flatteries.

 bands interested. until the end of the chapter.
 But don't marry any girl for whom you "care little" It takes lots of love to stand thirty or forty years of matrimony. DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix-I adore my husband, and he loves me. He is a good hus- band but have to take it for granted that he loves me, and I hunger for ten derness. He is never enthusiastic over me unless I go away on trip, which is very seldom on account of our cir cumstances. I am afraid my real pleas ure in going is the coming back and his making a fuss over me.
 Now, even when I prod and cajole my husband into lovemaking, he always does it in the same fashion until I am tired of it and think to myself that where there is such little bit of love making he might inject little more pep into it. It just seems that he can. not be affectionate, bless him And I cannot be content without it, bless me! What shall we do?

 less of a tragedy when a senti-

 man, because she is always de-
 manding of him something that he
 cannot give. She asks for bread,

In matrimony, it is deeds that count, not words, and as long as a man works like a dray horse to give his wife luxuries, and never finds fault with her, she may safe ly trust in his devotion, no matter if he is as dumb as an oyster.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-15

Unfortunately, however, the senti- mental wife cannot see the matter in this light. She isn't satisfied to know that her money is in the bank. She wants to see it, and handle it, and count it, and have visible evidence every day of how rich she is.

tells me that she loves me most sincere Iy, and always asks me to come to see her.
 We'll, seem to care little for them all and haven't the nerve to refuse any one, so which one would you advise me to hold? TROUBLED V. l.. Answer: Yours is, indeed, sad, sad story, mate. It must be terrible to have such an embarrassment of the riches of affection that you cannot de- eide which treasure to take. More over the tragic part of it is that which ever lady you select you will be vir- tually certain to wish you had taken the other one.
 If were you I would take a good nerve tonic and bolster up my courage to refuse them all, and wait until some lady came along who l would know was IT and concern ing my affection for whom would have no doubt.
 However, as between the three candidates for your heart and hand,
 whose claims you have submitted to
 me, I cast my vote for number three.
 Number one I eliminate. She appar- ently does not care for you, nor have you any real affection for her. She merely piques your pride because she is the standoffish kind, the only one who has resisted your charms and whom you have not brought down with your bow and arrow.
 Number two you would tire of
 because she is too easy. Love IS
 like a pudding. We only crave it
 when we are hungry for it. If we
 have no appetite for it, it is noth-
 ing but gooey, saccharine mess
 that cloys on our palate and has
 no more attraction for us than
 mush poultice would have.
 That is why a man never loves a woman who loves him too much; and if he marries a woman, who has pur- sued him, he always feels that he is a captured animal, held in durance vile and domesticated against his will.
 Number three seems to strike the
 happy medium. She blows neither hA 4o

 UNHAPPY MOTHER. Answer: Quit pleading with him. Treat the matter as a joke and ridicule his lady love. Boys of that age cannot stand being made fun of. Get his boy and girl friends to joke him about being the victim of a cradle -snascher. Also try a pretty young girl of his own age as an antidote.

words of devotion in her ears and clutch her to his bosom with rervor that loosens her back hair. But it is well for her to reflect that this artistry is only achieved by long practice, and that the man who is a naturally gifted lover keeps his hand in by practicing it on every woman he meets.
 Sometimes woman doesn't know when she is well off, and it seems to me that the wife who has husband who chokes on his Adams apple when he tries to be sentimental should thank God for her lot and let it go at that.

Principal Perkins Advises
Students HIGH School Course

A campaign calculated to help the
children who will enter high school
next September and those who will
attend the other grades at Cony High
school to choose the studies which
will be best adapted to their qualifi-
cations and desires in future life, has
been conducted in the past few weeks
by Principal Everett Perkins of
Cony High school.
Principal Perkins has spoken be-
fore all eighth grades in this city on
this point, and has left with them
cards to be filled out by each stud.
ent, giving their choice of subjects in
high school, their record for the ma
jor studies in grammar school and
other data, and bearing a place for
the signature of the parent. 1t is
hoped that in this way they will be
able. to arrive at better under
standing of their needs in high school
education.
Mr.. Perkins has also talked with
each student at the high school who
will return next year and has gone
over their high school record with
them. He has then advised them az
to the best courses for tier individ-
ual requirements and gives each a
card upon which to state their choice
of subjects and which is to be sign
ed by the students parents.
This sort of assistance not only is
of material assistance to the student
himself but simplifies the work at
registration at the school.
