went into service As years ago
during the Xmas rush. After
seven years as letter carrier in
New Orleans, he removed to
Oakland, California. His recon-
mendation from the Postma
at once gave him a place here.
And he has continued ever since.
He is the only member of our
group in the State or any other
group that wears a star ON his
tysiform for service. Forty-fiye
wears in the mail service is a
long time and especially without
a serious complaint against him.
Mr.. Smith says he has seen many

lose out, come and go, for tam:
pering with the, mail and pilfer-
ing registered letters. Mr.. Smith
is highly spoken of, by the postal

PASTOR THINKS WIFE
 LIVING IN WOODS

my wife had been very active In church work" Rev. Forbush told the United Press today.
 She was working for the benefit of our practitioners but never seem- ed satisfied with her accom- plish- ments. She was suffering. l believe, from q sort of inferiority complex which was indirectly responsible for her disappearance. She felt that she could not do enough for our church people and that she owed them something
 As result of overwork, she ap- parently has suffered some form of col!apse-but it has been mental rather than physical collapse.
 ''I haven't doubt that the wom- an seen near here is my wife. Once before when she disappeared. we found her in the woods. From re- ports which I have been able to gather, I judge that she has been in the woods near here for about two and q half weeks.
 T imagine she has found a shack or cave or some kind Of shelter, for persons who have seen this un- known woman agree that while ap- bearing fatigued she shows none of the effects Of privation."

HOLMES EXPLAINS MODERN SCHOOLS
System Develops Individual, He
 Tells KiWaniS Club

What civilization needs most today is an adjustable individual who will flt in, according 10 Stanley II. Holmes, superintendent of schools, who spoke today at the kiwanis club in connection with the American Education Week.
 Mir. Holmes pointed out the need of keeping abreast of the times and keeping the schools on a par with advancing civilization. He pointed cut that when he came here 2l years ago the school maintainance budget was $113,oo0 per year; it has grown to S1.2o0,0oh This is due to several reasons, partly because the demands upon the schools have increased and | because what could be purchased In those days for sl now requires sl.65. He also pointed out that the modern school today Is more rarticular in it's taste for better things.
 He spoke Of the additional sub iects now taught in the schools and of the different systems of handling children. One of the most important things taught today Is that of per sonal individuality he said, and the schools actually have little visible use for discipline.
 The children are taught to think for themselves and if there developes a rebel In the group he soon becomes an outsider and is ostracised by his fellow pupils. This makes him feel unpopular and a readjustment fol lows.
 By developing the Individuality, he said, children are provided with resources from which they can draw in later life to adapt themselves to developing conditions Instead of saying T don't know" or '1 cant do that" they are taught to say "1 never did if, but I can try"
 Personal responsibility is em- phasized 10 q large degree, he ex- pIained,
 He dwelt for brief period on the need of aulitoriums in the schools and said the auditoriums are used every minute of the day, There is no substitute for an auditorium in the modern school. we cannot get along without it," he said.
