children, who were both snuffling and
running at the nose. ." When the
teacher was putting on her rubbers
stood near the door with my two little
ones. Quoth the teacher. oh, dear,
don't keep the baby there with the
door open-he will catch cold told
her I was not afraid of his catching
anything from the air, but was afraid
of his catching something from people.
Perhaps was too outSpoken, but it was
not half what I wanted to say. and
anyhow. it didn't mean anything to the
teacher"
A very characteristic picture Of life.
One can imagine that same teacher,
doubling In the role of physiology or
hygiene instructor-the schools gener-
ally assign any teacher who has nothing
important to do to the physiology or
hygiene class-solemnly telling the
barking pupils whatever the galosh
manufacturer suggests they should be
told.
It may be that some one with more
or less special training Is appointed to
supervise or Superintend this depart
meht of popular education in the whole
school system, or even In the schools OF
given community, but nowhere. so far
as have been able to learn, are prop
erly trained teachers employed to give
such instruction in the grade schools or
high schools Always it is subordinate
subject. and the school authorities as
sumo that any teacher who has any
spare time is qualified to teach this silly
subject. Naturally this attitude of the
schools toward the subject of health is
reflected in the minds Of pupils. Then,
unfortunately. there is the shrewd and
aggressive activity Of commercial inter-
ests that are ever ready to exploit the
ignorance of teachers and pupils,
through the agency Of placards, book
lets, pictures and the like, freely fur
nished to teachers or pupils by the peo-
pie who seek to propagate certain ideas.
I say this whole business Is a sorry
farce, and say that in all sincerity. I
do not mean to blame the teachers who
may be engaged in the farce; nor do
wish to imply that every commercial in
terest that exploits this ignorance in
the schools is wicked or crooked one.
But the whole thing is disgrace to our
boosted system of popular education
and fear the medical, profession viii
never break silence about 1t, the pub
lie health authorities are too tirnid Of
the wrath of politicians, and the
teachers themselves are unlikely to
rebel. The only hope is that parents
may sicken of the farce.

italian quilting is one Of the smartest

over regular quilting at this time of the

WHY WE Do WHAT WE Do
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

Americans are sometimes accused OF
being superficial. The Europeans love
to remind us that we have not the
patience to develop great scholars.
great artists and substantial manufac-
tured products It is true that our
ready-made clothes shed their buttons
at the slightest provocation. Childrens
toys do well to survive the first day
Of use and abuse. The workmanship on
our homes is not always a thing to
brag of.
One cause for superficiality Is the
pressure of mass production-in our
educational system as well as in our
industries. Numbers mean everything
In most institutions.
The rapid pace at which we live.
moreover, and the frequent change OF
styles in everything from coffee pots
to college educations makes it mad
visable to build to last. Who wants his
automobile to last forever? The man
who drives last years model car can
appreciate the feelings of his wife

If Americans are more superficial
than other people, and this is very
much to be doubted. 1t is because they
are more extravagant, more active and
live under greater pressure of ma
chinery and mass production.
The fact is that We are all super
fetal to degree. Why should we
kill ourselves making a perfect job of
the thousand and one things we are
called upon to do each day? Life is
short, and there are many things to
do and enjoy.
We actually can't afford the time nor
the strength to be accurate and pains
taking in everything If we should take
our reading seriously, for example, and
read the newspapers and magazines as
carefully and thoroughly as We read
our scientific textbooks we would have
little time for our specialties. Uncon-
sciously we specialize and reserve our
thoroughnesS for the one thing by
which we earn our daily bread or the
thing which is our hobby. 1t is not
easy, however, to be careless 10 hours
a day and extremely cautious and
thorough even one hour-hence our ap-
parent superficiality.
OF course, the real reason why we af$
superficial is that we are lazy. W.

Health Ignorance.

A mother, who surely has right to
be heard, offers this pertinent observa-
ton:
I'VE are neither censors nor health
authorities, but we have our lives to
live and we cannot live them at their
best with the colds and flu and other
things that are going around most of
the time because people insist they
catch them from the weather and self
ishly continue to pass the infection
on to others. Just as an example OF
how badly we need instruction.

Graduating Glass Enjoys
Garden Party
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

The trustees and the school board
we're giving a garden party for the
graduating class. On the lawn in the
school yard a large umbrella had been
erected, and under it was placed the
tea table. 1t held the punchbowl and
the urn with the hot tea. Most Of the
faculty wives took tea, but the gradual
bowl.
On another table were plates of sand

The faculty decided that course in
etiquette would be most desirable one
to have in the curriculum next year.
There was no entertainment planned
for this garden party. The guests
strolled here and there, saying those
usual nothings which parting class
mates find to say one to another
Had it rained the faculty were pre-
pared to set up the tea tables IN the
gymnasium. If that were necessary
they planned to have the orchestra play
for dancing. But the weather was with
them and the party was a great sue
cess.

plate. These remnants bore the name
of the sandwich on the plate. 1t was
easy to choose the minced ham or the

Two more models will become avail

The model designed ~ the bu-

batteries weighing an additional 10
