THINK FOR YOURSELF

With detour signs put up by the depression on
most of the established roads of business, poll
it looks like great year for the demagogues and
reformers Hot-bed ideas, cold storage schemes,
under-nourshed plans and over-stuffed proposals
we'll hear about all of them. And in the gen
era confusion it is going to be little difficult for
the average person to keep clear head and steer
a straight course.
1t is true that there is no progress without
change but it is just true that every change does
not necessarily mean progress. Not by quite
margin.
The only way in which one human being can
properly attempt to Influence another is to
courage him to think for himself instead of en-
deavoring to instil read -nade opinions into his
head.

The Modern School
HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAM
By w. w. Davis
Supervisor of Hygiene. Seattle Schools


The principal of large grade school
in this state confessed to a friend that
he and his wife were unable Ito per-
sllade their ten-year-old Daughter to
brush her teeth with any regularity.
Some time. later the little girls teacher
drew up a set of daily health chores
and inspected pupils each morning to
see if the chores were being done. She
included brushing the teeth" as one
item. Father and mother had no fur
ther trouble in this direction.
Teacher and parent must pool their
efforts if. they look for real gains to
be made in child health. If the school
can instill the desire to be healthy
and ilnpart necessary knowledge, the
home may be expected to provide the
opportunity and encouragement to
practice healthy living.

DON'T PUT IT OFF

Unless the voters in the White Bluffs precinct
show little more alacrity in registering, many
of them will find themselves unable to vote at the
election this fall
Neary three months have elapsed since the
books were opened and up to date only 70 of the
300 or more eligible voters in the precinct have
registered.
OF course, the election is still quite way off
and the books will be open yet for several months
but unless the rate of registration is speeded up
a good many voters are going to find themselves
left at the polls, literally and figuratively.

skipper and his animals we're
afloat until April 90, when they
landed on Mt. Ararat. The
flood wiped out two groups

pax built a boat and escaped.
Noah is supposed to have
been the headman.
