Another School Term
Opens Here

~ HIRTY THOUSAND San Antonio school children
are entering into nine-months' period of work
in class room and laboratory.
Thirty thousand minds as plastic and impression
able wet clay become subject to the influence of
handful of adults
The destinies of 10000 future men and women are
to extent within the control of 900 men and women
who have shouldered, knowingly unknowngly,
great responsibility in behalf of the community.
The world needs men and women who can think
clearly and independently Teachers who think for their
pupils will not produce men and women whose minds
function efficiently
In all of us there are blind preudices silly bases
and dogmatic opinions The teacher exception to
the rule and unless he guards against the inclination to
faint his discoures he becomes the of contagon
that may spread at least for generation.
On the other hand the teacher has the assurance
that his efforts if weldirected will have tremendous
accumulative effect for good.
Modern educational methods have been devised for
the purpose of encouraging thought on the part of the
pupils and giving them WORKING knowledge In
other words the modern teacher stresses the PRAC-
TICAL side of education He attempts to show the pupil
how his studies may be applied to everyday affairs
Within the last several years there has been con-
scous effort made by the school board and the faculty
to create public school system here in keeping with
modern theories and practices with the result that the
public school system San Antonio has aroused the adj
miration of the nations leading educators. Further
more the public has given its hearty support to the
project
San Antonio's public school system supplemented
by excellent private and UNCONVENTIONAL institutions
should contribute much toward raising the intel
gence of the nation to higher level than it is today

Character Evolution
By 1.-THE SPECTATOR"

. courage are weakened can find
strength only in long course OF
building up, not in sudden elixir.
By beginning with small indul.
gences and fears, conquering them
and going on to larger ones he
works toward complete mastery.
UNLESS a serpent devour a SER
pent, it never becomes a dragon" is
the way q proverb Of the East
puts it.
Trying to conquer the whole
weakness at a stroke too often re-
suits in defeat and encouragement.
1t is the accumulation of years of
little weaknesses and indulgences
and the skein that has been slowly
wound must be slowly unwound.
Beginning on specific small things
with a determination to conquer
them at all costs is the better plan.
The story of Milo, the Greek
boy, applies as well to mental and
moral as TO physical strength.
According to the tale be began as
a lad to lift a little calf upon his
shoulders each day. As the calf
grew and its weight increased the
boys strength, developed by each
day lifting a heavier weight, grew
to meet il. When both were
grown, so says the story, BY this
gradual process of building up his
strength Milo was able to lift a
gigantic bull upon his shoulders.
Progressive improvement is the
key to strength of every kind. 1t
is the only way to conquer weak
nesses Of character so that the cor
rection lasts.

Not so long ago a very longtime

dwellings are constructed now with

an aversion to US. But fresh air
and sunlight are good for everybody.
they agree with everybody.
Not only do they agree with US,
but we cannot thrive without them.

blind asylum built without windows

In the rays from the sun are GER

chemical effect upon the blood and

like tonic medicine. They build up

Of light. The open-air exposure to
sunlight is the way to get its full

There is a fable Of a magician
who pitied a mouse because Of its
fear of cats. He changed it into a
cat.
Then it was continually fearful
of providing dogs. So again the
magician took pity and changed it
into a dog.
But Immediately it began to live
in constant dread Of a tiger that
made its home in a nearby forest.
So as a last resort the magician
gave it the form Of a tiger. Where
upon it lived in constant dread of
hunters.
In disgust, the magician said,
BE a mouse again; if you have the
heart of a mouse it is useless to give
you the form of a nobler being"

About all we can do with the

life that demonstrates to them that

Mr.. Bryan died in the midst of
faithfully defending the faith that
was in him.
1t was a splendid struggle, but
useless.
He was one of long line of those
who have thought it was up to them
to defend the faith.
From the days of Constantine
down to the present time there have
not been lacking kings, warriors and
generals who have thought 1t in
gcumbent upon them to defend the
faith.
There were equally those who
enjoyed attacking the faith. There
have been Nietzsches, Spinozas,
Tom Paines and Ingersolls aplenty.
We make bold to believe, how
ever, that the faith has been de-
stroyed by none of them.
1t has been unhindered by the at
tacks made upon it and equally so
by the attempts to defend it.
The trouble is that the faith is a
hidden thing, dwelling in the minds
of the commons. 1t is like lump
of leaven growing secretly. 1t is
not helped by those who take the
sword in hand to fight for it. It.
is not hindered by those who take
up arrows against it.

with the enlargement OF mems
