Imprisoning Thought

there too many persons in prison in the United
States merely because their mode of thinking is not
satisfactory to the majority, we know at least that
the numbers less than in various other countries
Italy, India Hungary, Spain, Poland, Bulgaria. Latvia
Esthonia, Rumana, Jugosava, Germany and Russia are
picked out by the International Committee for Political
Prisoners leading the procession of countries that
cure thinking by Imprisonment.
The American statistics hard to get, because
have invented theory that is not really for their
thoughts that political prisoners are boarded by the
states but by the tendency of their thoughts to pro-
duce violence. We can think up joke about that
theory when have leisure.
Is it not somewhat grave fact that there are now
more human beings in prison for their opinions than
ever before in recorded history?
The causes given by the committee are the attempt
to check the effort of the working class for larger
share in the profits of industry the revolt OF naonaes
against alien rule and movements against monarchica
and other depotisms.
For our part we might accept these causes and yet
seek the most general of all in increasing ten

] cannot hope to deal today with
all the causes OF nervousness. But
I wish to tell you something about
sleeplessness as cause for nervous
ness. 1t is such a common cause
that it deserves particular consid-
Grafton.
You cannot feel right, or think
right, or act right if you can't sleep.
When you find the cause of sleep
lessness and remove it, you will 20
far towards getting rid Of nervous
ness.
The most common reason f. not
sleeping well, is some disturbance OF
the digestive organs. Constipation,
intestinal fermentation, gas forma-
ton in the stomach, ovenating, eat
ing quantities of indigestible food
and failure of digestion because of
shallow breathing and lack Of eIer-
cise-in this list you will be likely
to find the cause Of sleeplessness
and, at the same time, the cause of
the nervousness.
The mental condition is import
ant, but in my opinion, the mental
condition is more likely TO be the
product Of physical causes, rather
than vice versa. There is no doubt.
however, that worry, unhappiness,
discomfort and all forms of mind
consciousness are responsible for the
symptoms we all call nervousness"
Get rid of the mental disturbance
and the nerves will take care of
themselves.

Life's Hurdle
BY L. E. Bisch

No matter how much you may
love your children they are bound
to become at times something of a
nuisance.
Grown-ups become accustomed to
certain habits of comfort and chill
dren have a way of disturbing that
tranquility that is very annoying.
But do not forget, under such cir
cumstances. that you yourself were
once a romping, scatter-brained
child.
Also bear in mind the POSSIBLE
ity-nay, the probability that at
least some OF the annoying traits
which your child displays you, your
self. have handed down to him.
Indeed. no one should want 4
goody-goody boy or girl as a son or
daughter.
Normal children are bigh-spirit-
ed and mischievous.
Normal children get into trouble.
Normal children are like little,
untamed animals.
Normal children require coercion,
correction and sometimes punish
ment.
Often, too, children's annoying
traits reflect the parents attitude
toward them.
Chronic disobedience. for in
stance. may mean the expression Of
a child's disappointment and re-
sentiment at the way he is being
treated.
Again, a Maynard child may be
continually running away from
home because the parents are for
ever nagging-not the child-but
each other.
Children are more sensitive to
udruOuy duu uiohaihVny AZ oVhS
than is generally recognized.
Disagreements between man and
wife should always be conducted
out Of earshot Of the little ones.
When children annoy you try to
put yourself in their place. Your
annoyance will promptly disappear.
Practice love first and always!
Not the love that is overindul-
gent to the detriment Of character
building in the children, but love
that is understanding. that sym.
pathizes. that recognizes that there
are always two sides to every ques-
ton.
. And don't accuse yourself Of be-
ing a poor father or mother If you
find the children do upset you at
times.
That is perfectly normal, human
and natural.
All Of which helps to make the
best kind Of parent.

We should welcome heresy and
diversions of opinion because they
are evidences of vitality. When no
one questions our beliefs or opinions
and they are accepted as settled and
solid, they are apt to become dry
and fixed. In this condition they
are brittle, and the slightest shock
may easily break them.
Opinions that are formed In the
arena of conflict and that are con-
stantly attacked are apt to be tough
er and have more life in them.
We should remember that the
thriving plant is the plant that is
growing and on its way mp to ma
turity. 1t is not the plant that is
finished and from which the sap has
departed. That is liable to be blown
down by the first storm.
So the strongest men are those
that are on their way up TO ma
turity. So long as the forces Of
youth are active in US they lend
vigor to our arms and to our minds.
When those forces of youth begin
to disappear we fall back upon con-
vention and custom and our lives
are more brittle. ~,

Adaptability
BY "The Spectator"

Men are much like certain kinds
Of deep-sea fishes.
They are adapted to these condi-
tons. II they are brought suddenly
TO the surface they explode. The
sudden change in outward circum-
stances takes away the pressure
and they arc lost.
So mems habits and instincts
cannot alter instantly to meet
changing circumstances of life.
Bertrand Russell, in his interest
ing little book, "Icarus, or the Flu
ture Of Science" stresses this point.
Mans existence, he says, has been
a continual struggle between his
instincts and his environment.
Instincts adjust themselves to
new circumstances slowly.
When these outward conditions
are suddenly upset trouble arises.
One of the results of the rapid
scientific progress is the sudden
changing Of mans environment.
This, Russell beliees, accounts for
many of the present social ills.
AS an example of this struggle
between the instincts and the en-
vironment he cites the following:
Evolves in a state Of nature
have difficulty in getting food and
therefore need the stimulus Of a
very insistent hunger. The result
is that their descendants, domestic
dogs, over-eat IL they are allowed
20 do So"
When the circumstances Of life
60 on the same for years and gen
erations the instincts and habits Of
the people become adjusted to meet
them.
But with a sudden change Of cir
cumstances these instincts and
habits cannot alter suddenly enough
to meet the new environment.
This takes time. And during the
period Of adjustment trouble arises.
The slow adaptation Of the
younger generation" to the new
conditions produced by the war is
going on at present.
In everyday life the law may be
seen in application.
The farmer, who has led an &C.
tive, hard working life, retires 10
q life Of ease. His appetite con-
tinues as before and often before
he can adjust it TO his new needs
be may cat himself into a speedy
grave.
There is nothing man can do, in
diidually or as race, 10 insure
the preservation Of the balance be-
tween his instincts and bis environ
ment.
He can only adjust his nature 10
the new circumstances as they come.
But this takes time and until ii
it accomplished there is always q
jeriod Of turmoil.

San Antonio Public
Schools and the
Battle of Life

wy E must measure quality, quantity and progress
wv by comparison. Hence it is not with malicious
intent that we compare the San Antonio pub
lie schools with the common schools of the State of
Washington as seen by Governor Roland H. Hartley.
However it must be remembered that Governor Hart
ley in his message the Washington legislature deal
ing with the Washington public schools in general and
not with the schools of any city.
''Today the common school exists for the purpose
Of preparing few of children for Greek letter en-
beishments," he says. "The common school has been
modernzed and transformed from educational insti
tuition in its right sort of trailing appendage TO
the collegiate idea.
'In the educational field we hav econverted all our
cantonemens into officers training camps, forgetting
is the private who must win the battle fife"
Similar indictments have been made against the
pubs sa]sls of Texas. Without discussion of the
truth or falsty of the allegations applied in general
to Texas public schools may observe that the schools
of the San Antonio independent district have been mod
ernized and instead of their having been transformed
into "a sort trailing appendage to the collegiate dea
they have been adapted to the needs of the majority
Even casual study of the curriculum and of the
organization of the city school system will suffice to
convince the most kepca that the schools here are not
intended solely as vestibues to academic or profess
sonal life AS matter of fact one of the most con-
vncng arguments that led to the adoption of the junior
high school system was that it aids in the putting into
practice of the principle that public schools are intended
for the education of masses.
San Antonio public schools training privates
for the battle of e and too they training officers
The idea that public schools merely subsidiary
agencies for colleges and universities has been aban
doned in San Antonio.
This does not mean that pupils not encouraged
to continue their general education after they have left
high school. But it does that San Antonio city
schools striving to equip pupils to enter life, whether
that includes a college education not.

1t is a rare day in your expert
ence when nobody says, II am so
nervous !! No doctor ever kept his
office hours without being told a
long tale by somebody about ner-
vousness.
/ have before me as I write,
letter from "a Daily Reader" in
Milwaukee, asking what causes
nervousness and what must one do
to overcome it," She wants an
article on this subject.
There are almost as many causes
for nervousness as there are apples
on a tree. Almost every such cause
is a thing neglected, or a wrong
thing done.
Loss of sleep, Indigestion, worry,
headache, eye strain, rheumatism,
heart disease, Bright's disease, dia-
belts, undernourishment, discomfort,
self-abuse, overwork-almost all the
uncomfortable things in the world
may produce nervousness.
Nervousness is not a disease. 1t
is a symptom. 1t Is merely sign
Of something wrong with you. 1t
is natures way Of warning you that
you are not living as you should.
] am practical enough to know
and admit that it isn't easy and, in
deed, it is not always possible to get
rid of nervousness. 1t isn't easy to
do it, because it is difficult to re-
move some of the causes Of nervous
ness. 1t is utterly impossible some-
times to get rid of the exciting
cause.
Fortunately for the distressed, a
careful study Of the individual is
likely to determine what is wrong

Plants That Thrive
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

The thriving plant Is the plant
that is growing.
1t is the movement Of sap within
the wood fiber that keeps it strong
and resilient.
When growth has ceased and sap
has departed, as in the fall of the
year, the leaves grow brittle and
hard and any gust Of wind is liable
10 shake them off.
So we should beware Of becoming
too set in our ways, Of adopting
opinions that have no growth in
them. Our minds should always be
kept open.
It is something like this that
cause the poet Tennyson to say:
There lives moro faith in
honest doubt
Believe me, than in half the
creeds."
We are always looking for sta
bility. We are expecting to retire
with our fortunes after our efforts
have ceased.
The best stability is found in
growth. The strongest man is the
man who is coming, not the man
who has got there.
Robert Louis Stevenson said some
where that the true destiny of man
kind is not to arrive, but to travel.
And John Fiske said that the
