Last week was observed as Educa

and thoughtful people gave consider
alton to the education process. 1t Is
very important that we as people
give attention to this process fol
apparently more and more we are de
pending on our leaders In the educa
tional process to point the way to the
solution of some Of the problems con
fronting us as people, as indicated
by the following statement published
in the Oarksburg Exponent.
Huntington. April 17-State Sup
erintendent Of Schools w. w. Trent,
told educators today that as an in
fluence in the modern boys or girls
life, the home is almost nil
"In an address prepared for de
livery before teachers attending the
annual convention of the West Va.
Association of Secondary school prin
cipals, Trent added:
"The responsibility to teach the

lish ideals of honesty, sobriety. and
morality, develop respect for law and
institutions, and create reverence for
the things that are sacred in society
government and religion now devOlve
upon the high school.
"There is no escape. High schools
must assume these responsibilities
and obligations and teach effectively
the things formerly taught by parents
if our civilization is to be maintained
and if the society CT tomorrow is to
preserve those factors in democra-
cy that give permanence and provide
the things that are essential to social
economic, and governmental life"
More power to the M,h schools If
they can do all these tnings that Sup
erintendent Trent says they ought to
when he says 'as an Influence in the
modem boys or girls life, the home
is almost MA Then, too, it is quite
evident that the high schools have a
long ways to go If they are to take
charge Of the proper development of
the religious life Of our youth. 1t is
the lack of appreciation and under
standing Of the place of the home, the
church, and community life in the
educational process on the part of
some Of our leaders in education that
has had much to do in making it diff

about, better relationship between
the home, church, school, and COM

tors as whole are as fine, conscien-

Is Measurin6
By IDA JEAN KAHN

1t is possible that you have al
ready reduced far enough, but,
like Ogden Nash, we wonder:
"-If there is a woman in the
world StrOng-minded enough to
shed 10 pounds or twenty,
"And say, There now, that's
plenty"
Don't let your determination
run away with you. If little is
good, more is not always perfect
in reducing. Regardless of the
1886 ideal, structure continues to
be your measuring stick for
weight, and the most important
factor in every figure program is
that normal weight varies with
structural type.
There are two types of individ-
uals who look and feel better
above their normal weight, and
you may be one of them. If your
ancestors willed you large frame,
you make your best appearance
with weight above the average
normal. No amount of diet and
exercise can change your frame,
and extreme dieting with this type
individual produces a gaunt, hun
CRY look. Nothing could be more
disastrous.
Or, perhaps you were designed
for pleasing plumpness. The
stocky individual is carrying things
too far when she strives to alter
curves to ultra-slimness. This
curvesome type is likely to be
the prettier for a little extra
weight.
If you are feet with a
wide frame, you may have your
best figure at 1875 pounds; and
if you are feet 7 with a big
frame, you can get away with
$50 pounds. These weights are
a generous contrast to the beauti-
clans rule of 100 pounds of
streamline for 5 feet 4, or the
tall, willowy silhouette of 1876
pounds and emaciation.
When you disregard structure
in reducing, you also disregard
health, and health is the pre-
requisite of a good figure. You
may not put your health ahead
of your figure, but you will al
ways, as long as you are Ewes
daughter, put your looks first, and
beauty and health are parallel.
However, there is one thing
which you Junoesque and stocky
girls must keep in mind. Flabby
fat is never flattering to any
figure. Your high normal weight
level does not entitle you to the
hefty arms and heavily padded
shoulders which often mar these
two types. You may not need to

Four baseball blue bloods who

next Thursday as jockeys-astride
"just ordinary" mules. 1t is all
for entertainment of the North
east Business Mems Association
when that body gathers for it's

Thursday at Marshall Hall.
The jockeys will be Nick Altrock,
Walter Johnson, Joe Judge and
Sam Rice. The mule race is only
one of many novel events Of the
day, however, other program fea-
lures being creased pig contest,
a creased pole climbing event, a
rodeo show staged by Fort Myer
riders, a bathing beauty contest
and boxing and wrestling matches.

pieces will furnish the musical
part of the program.
A revised list of beauty contest
judges today showed that the fol-
lowing will weigh the charms of
the contestants: Joe Judge, Cor
