 Two years ago Rogers Hornsby won the award. Last year a bad crop of boils and managerial re- sponsibilities put a crimp in the Raiah's batting average. which fell off 96 points.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VOU, as a parent, or as a con.
i scientious teacher, are dis
tinctly interested in the earliest
evidence of mental overstrain in
your child or pupil.
You should be on the alert for
these early symptoms at all times.
but especially with the approach
Of examinations. 1t is then that
the stress is heaviest. / have
known simply impossible tasks to
be imposed by thoughtless teach
ers. one after another, until the
accumulated task was simply ap-
paliing. The strictly normal pupil
kicks the whole stuff aside and
justifiably fakes his or her way
through the exams. The abnor.
mally conscientious child tackles
the whole hazardous job, all too
frequently with disastrous results.
1t Ii your duty to keep your eyes
open for the first signs Of this
approaching disaster.
Here are some OF the more OBJ
vious signs of overstrain which.
should serve as danger signals to
the teacher and the parent.
The first of them, as graded by
the Journal OF School Hygiene
and Physical Education" is a ten
dency to unusual sleepiness dur
ing the day This may be only
the result of too little time in
bed. Young people. with their big
energy output and rapid growth,
require an amount or sleep that
is not often realized and which is
surprising to most people.
Eminent physicians testify to
the dangers resulting In later life
from too little sleep In childhood.
Sir James Crichton Brown says:
THE sleep Of the rising genera.
tion is being seriously lnterfered
with, abbreviated and broken, and
the inevitable consequences must
be a rich crop of neurotics and a
general lowering OF the level of
intelligence
If this is the only trouble, 1t Is
not hard to put right in normal
homes. IL the cause is sleepless-
ness Mt night, or unrestful sleep,
the remedy may be better regu-
lation Of evening work or diet. or
both. but the case should be very
carefully investigated. II may be

What should be hammered into
the pupils head through the whole
period of school life Is that no one
can live on work alone, and that

but as. sport, Is absolutely neces.

accept the depths. Yet the
depths are as natural and in
evitable as the heights. Rest
is as necessary as action. Bore
dom is not a sign of failure.
It's the other side of enthusiasm
the REST side.
Mary Austin speaks Of this in
her new book, "Everything's

Merely to be dissatisfied with
your environment of the moment
is not sufficient to warrant you
in discarding 1t as not ex.
perienceable, since phases of dis.
like, OF positive antogonism, are
part of the rhythm of acquaint-
ance. Where love is blind, hate
often sees clearly, and pain Is
