The Fame of the Berry Schools

EORGIA has no happier fame than that
1 which falls to her by way of the Berry
Schools. From forty-four states of
the Union and from nine foreign countries
have come visitors to that institution during
the scholastic year 1923-24. From New York
came xGty, from PennsylvanN thirty, from
Illinois twenty-siX, from Ohio twenty-six
from California twenty-one; and from all the
states together, total OF two thousand four
hundred and eighty-six. Numbers of these
made long journeys for the express purpose
of seeing and studying the Berry Schools,
whose achievements and methods are dis
cussed wherever men are concerned with
that highly important type of education. Far
away on the Pacific coast today is being
built series of schools modelled, largely,

RE you a1rald OF hdoIt NloSt P0oPi0
II are. We teach our children to fear
! habit.
We are always warning them to be careful
not to form this habit or that. Soon they
come to believe that anything that may be-
come matter of habit is to be summed
That is a negative idea of habit There IS
a positive idea about habit
Many of us overlook the wonderful con-
structive possibilities and powers of habit
When we think of habit we are likely to
think of morphine and cocaine, or at least OF
tobacco and coffee. That is gettne the neg
atve slant instead of the positive.
Habit may be made our most loyal and
most powerful servant.
You may find it hard to get up early in
the morning. The reason that il is hard to
get I'm early is because of the number OF
mornings on which you do not get up early.
If you arose early every morning, you
would soon form the habit and it would not
be painful.
Your work piles up on you because you do
not finish it, do not clear u. the things on
your desk before you go home in the
evening.
If you made it point to clear up your
desk every day before you go home, it would
soon become a habit and your work would
go on with surprising ease.
If you will make the effort to be cheerful
whether you feel like being cheerful or not,
you will before long acquire the habit of
cheerfulness. And YOU will automatically
become much happier and make the people
with whom you are associated much happier.
We all know that habit can be acquired
with terrifying rapidity. Do thing even a
few times and it is hard to stop doing it.
Has it occurred to enough of US that a
good, useful habit can be acquired just as
rapidly?
Make your habits do your work. When
life's heavier blows fall. when the strain
grows greatest, when you need all the

The Circle of the Vacant Chair

-HE truly immortal children are the ones
called from us with the rose of morn
4 ing fresh upon them. Others grow up
to dusty noon and darkening autumn. These
lightly take their leave ere 'the heartache
and the thousand natural shocks that flesh
is heir to" have touched one golden strand
with gray, or dimmed the dewy wonder of
their eyes. The inexorable years tread on,
changing the scenes we know, the faces we
love, the plans we cherish, but never the
memory of those little pattering feet that
are now CLEAN in starland, never the music
of elin voices now the songs of God.
These children eternal, what glory
streams earthward from them! What faith
they quicken, what hope they set blooming,
what charity has gladdened the world in
their name! Some years ago group OF
gracious Atlanta mothers formed the Circle
of the Vacant Chair. Each, on the birthdays
of her little one gone, would give what she
could to fund for lettering the lot of chill
memorial? Many adopted plan of dollar
for every birthday. Some contributed more,
some less; but any amount or any service
was acceptabe-in truth, was hallowed. So
began beautiful ministry that widens with
the years and that will multiply it's soace
and its blessing as long as children souls
take flight for heaven, while others wait here
in want
AS special province Of service the Circle
has chosen that poignantly appealing insti-
tuition, the Atlanta Child's Home, where it
purposes to build memorial hospital. The
beginning will b, modest-one ward, bath,
and a diet kitchen. But the work will
grow, as more and more parents bring to
its support their memories and devotion. Any
mother any father in whose home or heart
Is a >childs vacant chair or a baby's empty
cradle has place waiting in this circle of
creative sympathy. Great beyond all predic-
tion is its Potentially for good, for around

after those established for Georgas young
highlanders by Miss Martha Berry,
The Journal has had occasion to note from
time to time the interest which this rare in
stitution evokes at educational centers in
Europe. From a report now at hand we
learn 1.-TWO women from the British Isles
travelled to Mount Berry on their way from
New York to California, in order to gather
information to be incorporated in school in
England, or which they are heads. Mission
aries from Chin. spent two days, studying
the system with view to using it in a
school in the interior of that country" Prin-
cess Borghese, of Italy, declared after a day
at the Berry Schools, that it was the happest
incident in her American tour.
Miracles never cease. This beautiful, this
far-shining renown had its beginning years
ago in a cabin by the roadside, where a
Georgia woman, gathering little group of
mountain children about her, taught them
out of the wisdom and kindness and splen-
dor of her spirit; faithful to her vision OF
a service small which, in the widening circle
of seed-times and harvests, has grown and
lowered till today the ends of the earth be-
hold it and admire.

Everuday Miracles

~ERSONS who disbeieye in the possibil-
- ty of miracles should ponder the fact
that they themselves by virtue of hay
ing minds superior to matter are continually
bending nature to their wills, or at least are
profiting by the achievements of others who
have done so. The Harvesting Of rivers to
run our factories and light our homes, the
fight life-winning battles within our blood,
the gradual conquest of the air for flight by
creature with never a vestige Of wings
these are but commonplace instances Of how
the human spirit, rejecting ever so family
its Creators image, is bringing nature, once
regarded as a master inexorable, into docile
servants role Consider the flight which
United States army aviators now are making
around the earth, an adventure that will
compass more than twenty-five thousand
miles. A few decades ago most of US would
have dismissed as utterly idle prediction OF
such an exploit. 1t is impossible, we would
have reasoned, because it is contrary to ma
ture. But man is man for the very reason
that he uses nature to transcend nature,
and so come to rise on stepping stones of his
dead self ito higher thing

O. Why is Canal street, New Orleans, so
called? J. w. W.
A. Canal street, New Orleans, derives its
name from the canal which formerly trav-
ersed it. The waterway was intended to
unite the Mississippi with Lake Pontchar-
train. The canal had been partially filled in
by 1888 and completely filled in by 1878.
The filing in of the canal created neutral
zone along the center of the street winch Is
now used by the street car tracks.
@. Does porcupine shoot its qullls at us
enemy? F. f.
A. The quilts of porcupine are quite
loosely attached to the body, and when the
animal slaps with it's tail (its usual mode OF
defense) some quilts may be hirted quite d
distance 1t is this fact, no doubt, that is
the foundation for the popular notion That
the porcupine shoots it's quilts at an enemy
Q. Can person cut stamp from
stamped enyelop and use it on another one?
+. G.
A. The postoffce department says that a
stamp which has been cut from a stamped
envelope cannot be used on blank one
O. Is it true that the body of Emperor
Frederick the Great was not embalmed?
N. D.
A. BY the expressed wish of the emperor,
his body was not thus prepared for burial.
Two regimental surgeons bathed the body
and prepared it for burial.
O. Why are criminals executed at sun
rise? j. A.
A. It is quite customary for such execu-
tons to take place as early as possible on
the date named by the court and the ques-
ton of waiting until daylight undoubtedly
