Grave Yards

When you invest a hundred or so
dollars in a graveyard lot, you do
a wise thing. If you have some
money which you wish to invest in
a good substantial place, you
should invest it in a graveyard,
because, although banks and insur-
ance companies fail, a graveyard
will never fail. Then, if you wish
to be buried there, it is a good in
vestment because a home in which
you can live only about a hundred
years would cost at least $4,000
but a graveyard plot which you
would inhabit for thousands of
years would cost only about 500.
In the graveyard business there is
very little competition other than
cremation, and even that isn't used
much. Otherwise all people go to
the same place, the graveyard.

Gossip

Gossip is conversation dealing
with other peoples personal af-
fairs.
The person who habitually is
talking of someone else's affairs
and giving his opinions of them is
the one to stay away from. It is
usually he who causes stories to
circulate that are detrimental.
Probably the bearer of these tales
knows nothing about the facts at
all, or knows a slight bit and ex-
aggerates until it is far worse than
it was meant to be.
Gossip can ruin persons repu-
tation more quickly than anything
else. Because, after all, in one
town there are probably many peo-
pie that have nothing to do but
talk about the younger generation
and its sins.
The young crowd also has a
great number of gossips, although
we call them cats. They are new
er liked; they are feared.

The Beauty of Fall

IIt Dcduty Vi Il oil
I consider fall the most beauti-
full season of the year. It seems to
bring happiness and peace to both
people and country. The scenery
all around us looks so gay with its
multiples of color that it tends to
instill that feeling in our hearts.
/ like to ramble through the
country side on a clear, crisp fall
morning just to enjoy the beauty.
The woods make a colorful back
ground to rows and rows of corn
shocks with piles of husked corn
between them. But the evenings
are even more beautiful. The set
ting sun is usually a dull red which
reflects on the clouds and makes
them look as if they were on fire.
The large cumulous clouds seem to
take on more shapes in the fall, as
1 have noticed, than in any other
season-like large cities towering
in the distance.
The evening seems more peace
full and the stars seem brighter and
more numerous. Altogether, it is
a glorious season.

Married Life

Married life has a very great
likeness to the higher forms of
government. There is the dictator
ial government, likewise there is a
dictatorial family in which one per-
son, usually the wife, has all the
power. There is communistic
government, and a communistic
family in which both husband and
wife work for one principal, the
family, and each receives equal
shares from it. Then there is the
democratic government in which
everybody works for himself. This
doesn't work so well when applied
to the family because there is no
cooperation

The kindergarten Teacher

We can not realize the import
ance of the kindergarten teacher
unless we make study of the pro-
fession.
In the first place good kinder
garten teacher must possess a
great deal of patience; she must
have kindness and tact with chill
dren. She should know something
of music. A person of repute once
said that a kindergarten teacher
influences the home as no other
worker can.
In the kindergarten the child is
taught to appreciate the fine arts
music, art, sculpture-and some
thing of literature. He is taught
to sing short songs; he is allowed
to draw and to mold forms from
clay. He gets literature through
short stories and poetry. He also
learns to play with other children
of his age and to respect other peo-
pies property.
The kindergarten teacher attends
a meeting Of teachers once a
month and makes visits to the
homes of her pupils. Her salary is
much the same as that Of other
teachers.
The demand for kindergarten
teachers will increase when the
community learns their value and
importance.

PHYSICAL EXAM
AT ALL SCHOOLS
Pupils Are Being Given More
Attention Than Ever
Before
MAKES FOR HEALTH

Better physical examinations
than ever efore are being given
this year to Delaware school chill
dren, it. was announced last week
by the State Board of Health. In
the opinion of the authorities, more
complete examinations are possible
due TO an increased popular under
standing of the value of this SER
vice. The improvement is report
ed by the County Health Officers,
who are nearing completion of the
work. Preliminary reports of the
findings to date confirm the peo-
pies wisdom, they say. For in
stance, two years ago complete
physical examinations were made
of 229 children in a representative
Sussex County school. Seven chill
dren were found to have unsus-
pected but definite heart ailments.
Treatment by a private physician
was begun at once. Re-examina-
ton this fall shows six fully recov-
cred, the seventh improved. Under
present arrangements, children in
the first, fourth and seventh grades
are examined by physician; those
in the second, third, fifth and sixth
grades are inspected by a public
health nurse. Parents are invited
to attend and observe the work.
The examination is complete when
parents request it, and where
schools provide facilities. Because
of the time required for this, as
sistance in the more populous dis
tricts is provided to County Health
Officers by private practitioners.
The improved public response is
believed due to years of health ed
ucation in the schools, support of
local physicians, and influence of
Parent-Teacher Associations.
Proper breakfasts for school
children is another subject of inter
est for parents. Ahrough the CO.
operation of the Department of
Public Instruction and the State
Board of Health the matter of eat
ing is as important as physical ex-
ercise.
THE growth of children, their
posture, the condition of their teeth
are all directly affected by the kind
of food they eat and the way they
live" the letter states. when chill
dren are properly FED, they are bet
ter able to resist or throw off sick
ness. Also, success in their school
work is conditioned by daily food"
The letter invites parents and
other interested parties to join in a
school nutrition program, aiming
toward making each youngster an
"a" child in health as well as in
school work. Parents are asked in
the letter to place particular en-
phasis on the chi,d's breakfast and
lunch. With this, a list of suggest
ed breakfast items is given, includ-
ing 'child-sized amounts" of fruit,
cereal, egg, milk, and bread or
toast. THE school lunch should
include one hot dish," it concludes.
AS a matter of training, and to
facilitate distribution, each school
child has been given an envelope to
address to his parents. After prop
er addressing, the envelopes are
sent back to the State Board of
Health for filling and mailing. To
further this movement, meetings of
parents in Kent County schools are
being addressed by child nutrition
experts from the State Board of
Health. AT that time, scientifical-
ly correct diets will be explained,
and paents will be shown what
their children may gain through
proper feeding.

speed. Every year racing dare
devils trust their lives to the sure
ness of their nerves and steadiness
of their hands. They do this more
for thrills than for fame and for
tune. Many times they have SER
ious accidents but keep right on
racing.
Pleasure cars of this decade
would be racers of a few decades
ago. The state speed limit has in
creased rapidly and the increased
speed of the cars has made better
construction necessary. Indianap-
oils is a proving ground for autos.
For those desiring still more
speed the air offers great oppor-
tunities. The National Air Race
is an annual event and acts as a
proving ground for airplane motors
and new inventions, many of which
are valuable to the construction of
faster planes.

Criticism
Criticism is the act of passing
judgment on a person, a persons
characteristics, or on a book,
movie, or play. There is no limit
as to what things are open to crit
icism, for there are very few things
upon which someone does not see
fit to make public his opinion, even
though it may be worthless.
Criticism may be either harmful
or beneficial, although it is most
often the former. When a person
is criticised about himself, he is
resentful, for he feels that his own
ideas and habits are the best. Lat
er the person will probably realize
that his criticism was right, but he
is reluctant to admit that he him.
self was wrong.
Too often a person makes harm
full and untrue remarks about
someone else because he is prompt
ed by jealously, prejudice, or even
hatred. If these remarks are
spread, the story is added to and
further publicizeo.
Criticism on art, drama, poetry,
or literature are usually either ap-
proved fair or disapproved, but if
there is jealously or rivalry present
there may be touch of sarcasm.
Therefore, when one sees how
harmful criticism can be, one sees
that he should be very careful in
everything he says, so that there
will be no undesirable consequence
es, if what he says is repeated.
