TWVHE early part of September is the beginning OF the
school year It is the most important event IN the
United States although it receives scanty attention
he newspapers The great questions that before the
American people all people not questions OF the
tariff the League of Nations, and craftsmanship.
These are questions that in at the attic windows OF
the while the questions be settled at schoo are the
questions that sit about the hearhstone of the heart
What career shall young man or young woman take,
what shall they do with their abilities, what part OF the
worlds work will they engage IN
These are the questions for the people OF the next
generation. i,
Upon the settling of these questions Alright depends the
bnlk of our happiness Those who assist in deciding these
issues are the teachers and the various instructors IN the
schools of the country
Teaching the noblest of professions and the most I'M
portant The teacher occupies the place OF the parent LOT
many child and his selections should be matter OF the
gravest concern the community
The teacher has been well enough paid Inc due
of his services has been truly appreciated
Too often the teaching business is merely used as step

LIVES NO MATTER HOW
HAAPPIL WE ARE MAR
RIED.
We must live our own lives and
we must, perforce keep much OF
that personal knowledge to our
selves. This isn't because we
want to sneak from each other.
It's because the other fellow
wouldn't understand it all If we
did tell him. And much of what
he could understand, would bore
him. It's an unfair load to put
on anyone's loyalty and affec'
WE MUST DIGEST OUR OWN
EXPERIENCE JUST AS WE
MUST DIGEST OUR OWN FOOD.
Moreover, each one of us has
vital need for privacy. You not
only bore or worry the other Eel
low if you tell him everything
you wrong yourself.
THERE SHOULD BE A SPACE
WITHIN YOUR SPIRIT, LIKE
A WALLED GARDEN, WHERE
YOU CAN WALK IN QUIET
NESS, ALONE, AND BE Re-
NEWED.
Ii you are denied that place,
if you throw the intimate places
of your spirit open to public pas
turage, you become as stale as
trampled grass and people value
you accordingly.
So keep many of your expert
ences and much of your mental
functioning to yourself. Don't try
to explain everything to your wife
or husband. Don't demand that
they explain everything to you:
ABOVE ALL, DON'T TRY TO
EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO
YOURSELF.
JUST GO OFF AND BE STILL
ONCE IN A WHILE AND I'VE

And already Harry has broken

Sometimes it's unintentional. But
sometimes he actually means 10

either laughs or gets peeved.
Saws that was puppy love non

talk over everything with his
wife. And that it's downright
wrong to reveal his friends or
his lodges secrets to anyone, even
the lady he's married to.
So Lucille feels sure that her
heart is broken. If he's like this

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
SUNS HOME EXCURSIONS
Why Rising Sun Shines In North Windows in July
Explained

celestial machinery will allow il
70 go, it still crosses the me:i-
dian, at noon south of the zenith.
At all times between the sum-
mer solstice and the autumn
equinox and also between the
spring equinox and the summer
solstiCe, its rising and setting
points are north of the zenith, or
north of the east and west points
of the horizon. Consequently on
every morning within those periods
of the year altogether from
March 20 to September 22), the
rising sun shines obIlquely on the
northern sides of all houses North
Of the tropic of Cancer. although
it's course through the sky is such
that during the forenoon it crosses
to the south side of the vertical
plane of the zenith, and ceases
to shine into north-facing win
dows. until afternoon.
Now, the reason why the sun
does this is evident from the dia-
gram. 1t is geOmetrical neCes
sity, because the course Of the sun
is in a plane at right angles to
the polar axis, and the slope of
the axis to the horizon includes
the upper part of the plane south
ward.
Owing to the impossibility of
truly representing a spherical sur
face on flat one, the diagram
is only an approximate picture of
the situation, but if you will con-
suit a globe lone of the old-fash-
toned kind. with the horizon and
other circles all complete, and not
one of the modern commercial
substitutes, stripped of all astro-
nomical appliances and so having
no scientific usefulness) you will
he able to work out the eXplana-
ton for yourself with the great
est satisfaction.

Coco Education is
Asset of 1t
is Matter of Regret

With the opening of school only
a lew days off the question will arise
In many family councils as to whether
son or daughter is to continue in
school or return to other labors.
There is sound reason in the belief
that every child of high school age
should have some manual task to
perform side by side with the educa-
tfonal duties, not only to reveal the
~propensities of the individual but to
create a wholesome respect for man
ual labor by Young America.
Parents at times err in letting age
be the determining factor as to when
a school career should terminate.
Our compulsory attendance laws can
not be prophetic and have no magic
power; the degree of training neces-
sary to meet the probable future
aims and interests of the individual
child should form the basis for the
decision.
Adolescents are often tempted by
the romance of the world of business
or by the desire to acquire more
spending money to abandon the COM
pletion of their education. They
lack the foresight to see that a pre-
mature entrance into the highly COM
petitive fields of can do
them no good. They are in a period
of rapidly changing ideals and there
is little assurance hat their own
! plannings of today will meet their
needs of tomorrow. Maturer natures
must extend a directing hand.
In our country the individual is
largely ranked by his degree Of lead
ership. We occupy positions at var
ious steps Of the ladder from the top
rung to the lowest. A good educa-
ton is today essential to a command
ing place. 1t is because of this fact
the Better Schools Leagues join
parents to make every Reasonable
sacrifice to SET hat their children
get the proper training; that they go
through the secondary schools by all
means and to college or university if
the interests and capabilities of the
child warrant. We do not raise the
! question Of financial interference for
every graduating class of college
and university is enriched by young
men and m who have been self
supporting during their collegiate
training.
A college or university course is
not universally essential. Much time
and money may be wasted in an at
tempt to inject higher education into
individuals whose capacities and in
clinations forbid It..
However, parents owe II to their
children to equip them with the
foundation for a fruitful career.
Youth should not be allowed to pull
into blind alleys; to put itself into
unfavorable position for making the
is a mos OF life. A skimped educa-
ton is a handicap-it may be a SEN
tence OF failure. The training of
mind and body that our educational
institutions give insures the boy and
girl a fair start and imparts al in
centive that stirs ambition and builds
self-assurance. This confidence in
itself frequently determines success.
A good education is an asset-a

Editor Gives His
Candid Opinion of
Thieves

Editor McDonough's boys were the
victims Of some cheap petty larceny
recently, up at Wright, Campbell
county, where The H~omesteader is
published, and in the absence of di-
rect knowledge of the identity Of the
miscreants, the Infatuated editor tells
the cock-eyed universe what he
thinks of the sneaks and also what
he and the boys hope will happen
to them. Listen:
"a Ford car left by the McDon-
ough boys at a shack near the E. r.
Reno place some weeks ago has been
stripped until it closely resembles
September Morn Two wheels, two
tires, two tubes, all the coil units
and tools have been stolen, the gas
drained and a number of other ac-
cessories purloined. The birds that
helped themselves to all of this
should head their car into a wall
of stone with such speed that their
stain on the stones after the impact,
and it happens that we know Just
whom we are wishing this on.
Someone also stole from the boys a
double barrel 41O hammerless shot
gun about ten days ago and the boys
hope both barrels burst the first time
the culprit shoots it; that it kicks the
thief seventeen hundred yards, fills
his eyes with powder that he may
henceforth need a guide if he ever
again appears among honest men.
And the writer would like to sit the
sticky fingered ~numbskull who stole
our new motormeter on top of the
radiator and hold him there until
the water boiled in his mouth.
NOW, you birds who got the dope
know Just how We feel about it."
