 mote Temperance

A community program design ed fundamentally for youth edu- cation through schools, homes, ra- dio and churches will be launched by temperance forces of New Eng land February 17, in conjunction with the national five year cam paign which has already been an- nounced.
 Mrs George E. Futile of the To- cal w. c. T. U., said that while no direct information has been forwarded to the Waterbury or- ganization to date, full support would be given to the movement. The local society is already carry ing on similar work in connection with their regular program, she said.
 The new campaign, heralded Gs a return to the former education al policies of temperance societies employed prior to the Prohibition era, would repel the growth Of the drink hapit first by educat- ing youth, second by backing fed- erallerally sponsored programs such as housing which promise to provide improved environments in which to bring up young America.
 Lecturers will be sent into every town and city of importance in New England and special class es will be inaugurated for the training of competent temperance workers.

 Editor of Adyance)
 The simplest lessons apparently are the hardest to learn.
 The world Is full of people reaching up for the mastery of great things in life when they have not learned to master the little things. We are all wont to neglect the simplest duties and tasks at hand under the allurement of en- joyments and adventures for which we are not quite prepared.
 The disciples had launched their faith with the Master on a great enterprise. They had shown them- selves to be men of initiative and daring.
 Their minds were filled with large schemes and plans, and in the slight glimpses that we have of their life together, we have 1t made plain that they were not without worldly ambition or above discussing even to the point of contention, which of them should be the greater.
 It was under these conditions that Jesus had to train his disciples in understanding the simplest and deepest things that He exemplified in His own life and teaching. He represented a different order of values.
 Greatness was not in place or distinction, greatness was in char acter, in love, in service. A man was mighty according to the things of grace and goodness that he was accomplishing.
 The evidence of strength was not in the fact that one outdistanced his fellows or became greater in outward place or recognition. The measure of strength in this world that Jesus brought to men was the measure of what one accomplished for God in simple and loving serv- ice.
 How was Jesus to teach such les sons to His disciples? When pre- cept failed, He taught them by example; and here in our lesson we have theincident of His washing
 Peter felt keenly the disgrace that one whom he loved and hon. ored should thus stoop to such a lowly act. He protested when Jesus came to him, and then im- mediately, when he understood, he was anxious that the Lord should wash not only his feet, but his hands and his head.
 Even here how much Peter was like the rest of us! So prone to learn a lesson badly, to get only the outer husk of the teaching and to miss the kernel of truth!
 What could outward washing mean but the symbolizing of the washing of the heart, the purified tion of human pride and selfish- ness, the bringing of life to that plane Of humility where one could

learn, and where one could find a true relationship to his fellowman "a relationship not distorted by some falsity of ones own desires or attitude?
 The example of Jesus was not only for His disciples, but for us. The greatest men have been men of humility, and where great men have not been humble, they have been giants of clay.
 How can we build out lives nobly and truly except as we build upon Ia sound foundation? It is not in what we gain for ourselves, but ln the enlargement of life and it's true service, that we find the way of life as Jesus reveals it. The humble man may learn and grow; the man who is self -willed and self-confident is proof against everything that may help him to become wiser, better, and greater.

and minds of the residents .! Maine, to which ci:v she moved some years ago. Miss Lyford taught in the Walsh school at the time Leo J. Curley was principal. She is a very inti- mate friend of Miss Dora Egan town clerk, Mrs Peter T. Keeley and many other well known Wa terburians.
 Featured
 A daily featured article in one of the Lewiston papers is Little Journeys to the Sch0olhouse.' Miss Lyford was the featured teacher in a recent article, which will be read with interest by many Waterburians. Undoubtedly many will subscribe to some of the expressed or implied ir the little article, which reads as follows:
 "One of LeWlstOn's most beloved teachers is Miss Olive M. Lyford. For many years children in the Lewiston pulp lie schools have found history
  ject under her guidance. Her rich personality has given these children an association which they remember with appreciation and pleasure as the years go by. Not a young ster but has said some time during the discussion of his school life "Oh I love to go to Miss LyfOrd!"
 Her work has not become drab routine through the years. Her philosophy of teaching, besides getting fe- suits, gives her charm that never dulls.
 Miss Lyford was graduated from the Lewiston Training school, now no longer in ex- istence. With Miss Adelaide V. Finch, who for many years headed the school, she went into training work at Water bury, Conn.,, later returning to Lewiston, as did Miss Finch.
 Since that time she has been teaching history with the sey- enth and eight grades. With the changes in living, she finds that nowadays children have many outside interests which they did not have in the past. Therefore, their school subjects must be made more interesting. Children are just as responsive as they ever were, though" she says, which fact is undoubtedly due in great measure to her own teaching personality.
 With the passing of the old question: -and-answer method, the children now conduct their classes i'm Specialized recita- tion'' with plenty of reference books under the direction or the teacher.
 Miss Lyford wisely progress es with the times and these changing methods, choosing judiciously in order to equip her pupils In the best manner possible. She has studied at Chicago University and Bates summer school.
 Her school work, so in- tensely interesting to her oc- cupies most of her time. In addition, however, she is deep- Iy interested in nature lore, She is q director of the Stan- ton Bird Club and enjoys the meetings and bird walks whenever it is possible for her to do sO."
