INSPIRATION.

To put all of the emphasis on the
value of an education is a mistake in
so far as education without inspira-
ton OF valueless. Only when you in
clude inspiration as an element of
education or one of its by-products can
you rate education above all other
advantages. There are educated men,
well read men and intelligent men
who are of little value to themselves
or society because they have not that
divine spark of inspiration which puts
education to work and without which
education cannot work.
Education comes to man through
reading, talking, listening and think
ing. Inspiration comes with it thru
the right kind OF reading, the right
kind of conversation and the deep
and profound sort of thought. In
other words, some literature conveys
book learning and other literature
proposes only to inspire the reader, to
lift him out of his work-a-day stupor.
Unknown to many, the human mind,
by proper impetus, is capable of
kindling the divine spark of inspira-
ton. There are many workmen who
are stirring their creative ambitions
by daily meditation on the ideals of
their occupation and upon the vast
possibilities lying dormant in their
field of labor. No man ever suffered
by imagining his job bigger that it
really was. Of such imagining is in
spiration made.
Inspiration hitched up to education
or just plain knowledge is making
men, communities, nations, business
enterprises and all the great inven-
tive, industrial and commercial mar
wells of the twentieth century.
"There can be no great and lasting
work without inspiration," wrote
Emerson.

BUY!

The greatest gift is life, but man
is not privileged to give that. How
ever, the next greatest gift is health
and that man can give by buying
Christmas Seals again this year. If
every man and woman will buy few
of the little health stamps the billion
that must be sold this Christmas sea-
son will quickly be distributed and
another year of effective warfare
against the white plague will be as
sured.
The Christmas Seal is the standard
of one of the most hopeful and dra-
matte fights ever made against dis
ease. This fight is being made against
one Of the oldest plaques that have
afflicted man. For thirty centuries
the dread disease has gone steadily
on, marking its victims and leaving
them to a lingering death. The ap-
proach of the disease is so slow and
gives so little warning that for many
centuries no attempt was made to
stamp it out or to prevent the spread
of infection. Other plaques got in
their devastating work so quickly and
openly that man was moved to organ
ize for self-protection and succeed
ed in wiping them out. Finally man
launched his fight against the white
plague and Immediately began to gain
ground.
1t is estimated that tuberculosis in
the United States wipes out a small
sized city every year. 1t is also es-
timated that to endure the disease in
its present stage for the next thirty
five years would cost the nation
twenty-six billion dollars. In the
last twenty years education and sani-
tatoin have combined to cut the
death rate from tuberculosis in two.
Medical experts estimate that keeping
the disease under control for thirty
five years will mean virtually exter-
minating it. Will the public give
seven billions of dollars in the next
thirty-five years to abolish tubercu-
losis or will it permit tuberculosis to
take from it twenty-six billions of
dollars and many thousands of lives :?
That is the challenge which the ma
ton answers every Christmas.

food in the schools and of the cost Of
the necessary equipment and supplies,
the children have been encouraged to
bring food already cooked from home,
carrying it in the widemouthed pint
glas jar that is familiar to every
housekeeper, and arrangements have
been made for heating the food in the
jar in which it is brought to school.
Cali that is needed in the way Of
equipment for this purpose is an ordi-
nary wash boiler, which is fitted with
a double row of racks, the lower one
elevated about two inches from the
bottom of the boiler to prevent the
jars from touching the water which
just covers the bottom. Each child
has his own jar, marked with his own
name or number When he reaches
school in the morning, he places his
jar with its supply of food in its place
on one of the racks. During the
morning recess, the teacher or one of
the larger boys or girls places the
boiler on the stove, and when the
noon recess comes and the children
have washed their hands in prepara-
ton for the meal, the food is warmed
through and is ready for them to en-
joy.
"Such things as vegetables, soups,
meat and vegetable stews, cream
soups, combinations of vegetables
lend themselves readily to this plan.
Bread and butter, an apple or some
other fruit, or some simple cake fur
nish all the trimmings necessary to
complete the meal"

State Forestry Plan Is Model

Maryland leads all the States in
the way it is teaching children the
need of growing and conserving for
est trees.
By hitting upon the idea of giving
junior forestry commissions to boys
willing to learn forestry it has start
ed plan which may develop into a
league of children of the United
States pledged to do their part in
guarding our heritage of the trees.
Cecil county is the experimental
ground for this junior forester move
ment of the State Department Of For
estry of Maryland. Here the boys
are being busily recruited for the
army Of woodsmen.
Maryland should be interested in
forestry if for no other reason than
that she imports 570,O00,000 board
feet of lumber every year to keep her
industries going, while she has $780,
900 acres within her borders standing
idle, and that in 1926 she had 425
destructive forest fires.
Eligibility Required
According to the Maryland plan,
the candidate for a commission as a
junior forester must be II years of
age or over and be in regular atten-
dance at school. Commissions may
be given, however, in exceptional
cases, to boys who have left school
and are working on farms. These
boys must produce a certificate that
they have successfully passed
through the seventh grade.
A candidate must give evidence of
his capacity as a leader in his school
and in his community and of general
helpfulness in his home life. This
means that he must have a "fair"
standing in school work, be actively
interested in athletics and outdoor
sports and have certificate of good
behavior and character signed by his
parents, his teacher, his pastor and
two farmers living in his own COM
munity. al
Boys before being given commits
sions must be able to identify at least
ten woodland trees, must know the
forest laws, the name, location and
telephone of the two nearest forest
wardens and the way to fight forest
fires.
Duties Outlined
They must agree to remove all I'M
authorized advertising signs from
within the right of way of the roads
for a distance of at least one mile be-
tween his home and school. And fin
ally the boys must submit an essay of
at least $50 words on the "Value of
Trees to the Community and State"
Having received his commission,
the junior forester will be expected
to perform the following duties:
Be continually on the lookout, and
particularly during the forest-fre
season March, April, May, October
and November) for forest fires. He
must report all fires to the nearest
forest warden and to the farmers on

beauty. That old-fashioned garden
would delight the heart of a Shake
speare.
Just past that grouping of many
perennials is a bed Of natural ferns.
sturdy and fronded and attractive,
growing as nature planted them
among the rocks.
WITHIN the Rosalind Wood green
house is an excellent collection of
tropical growths, with no mean show
ing of orchids. One wing of the struc.
ture is crowded with the rose bushes
from Lyon. Their blooms are char.
acterized by a rare delicacy of color,
but their petals are noticeably few.
They are delicate and dainty in form.
The other wing of the structure is the
carnation house, where thousands of
young silver.gray plants are awaiting
bedding for their Fall and Winter
growth.
