HERE and
THERE
D. ". n. Smith

1t is a great satisfaction and
pleasure to this cOlumnist to re-
alize that, with the coming of this
Christmas Day, our paper will
reach its many readers and find
them at this happy time, in rest
and cOntentment, enjoying the
pleasing OdOrs of the turkey, duck
or goose roasting in the oven; en-
virOned with the spirit, so manifest
of the day, radiating the thoughts
of peace on earth and good will to-
ward men.
Gone, for this day at least, all
carping criticism, all discomfort,
joining with the world at large in
honoring the birth of the Saviour
and willing for the moment, to
speed the day when this way of
life shall become the way of all
men. 10.
1t is an interesting experience to
think back through the centuries to
the time when He came to earth;
to an earth filled with bitter strife
and envy, of grave injustice in
high places and ignorance the COM
mon possession of all men. To re-
call how He was reyiled and
doubted, His way of life belittled
and shamed, His followers perse-
cuted and dishOnered, His very ex-
istence denied by the historians of
His time and for centuries after
wards His life and influence held
up to scOrn. ...-
Then back to the present to find
after two thousand years the prin-
ciples which He taught and for
which He lived and died firmly
planted in the earth, His way of
life honored and passionately fol-
lowed by millions The day of His
birth celebrated throughout the
Christian world; a world pagan
still in many places; a world dis
traught and turbulent, with war and
rumors of war disturbing the rela-
tionship of humanity, yet world
which acknowledges with gratitude
the tremendous advances made in
all lands and among all people be-

Be Careful During
Holidays
By DR.. w. d. Brown

When the holidays come usually
discretion is thrown to the winds.
Ihis is due probably to the fact
that everyone has had manifold
cares during the year and he
wishes to forget one and all during
this traditional period. We are no
destroyers of mirth but, then, too,
possibly we may do a service by
eautiOning you lest you stray too
far from the beaten path.
The human body works normally
by habits that you have developed.
Any marked change will naturally
nave some effect on its function. A
healthy body has a wide range and
therefore can stand more insults
than a weak one.
The unfortunate thing is that
someone who is not strong gen
orally tries to follow the example
of another who is. Eating and
drinking should always be done
with discretion. The stomach is
not garbage can into which
things may be thrown indiscrimi-
lately Experience has taught you
the combinations of food that your
stomach will allow. All stomachs
are not alike and yet may be nor
NAL. Suffice it to say that over
loading is bad; likewise the inges-
tiQn Of much rich greasy food is
bad. Water and milk make excel
lent drinks.
Alcoholic beverages and mixtures
are to be used in moderation if at
all. By all means don't use radi-
atOr anti-freeze solutions for high
balls as was so recently done dis
astrously.
If you are a diabetic, stick tc
your proper diet! If you have kid,
ney trouble, don't take a chance or
uremia by improper food! If you
have heart trouble, overfIIing youl
stomach is dangerous. Whoever
you are be moderate and temper
ate!

EDUCATION URGED
TO ALTER SOCIETY
Replacement of Revolution
Favored by Speakers
Before N. E. A.
Nv the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, February 23.-
Three speakers joined today in rec
ommending to the Nations teachers
that education, not revolution. should
be employed to achieve social changes.
The speakers, Harry Elmer Barnes,
New York editorial writer: Frederick
H. Bair, Bronxville, N. Y. superln-
tendent of schools, and Hollis l.. Cas-
we'll of George Peabody College, Nash
vile. Tenn, addressed the depart
ment of superintendent of the Ma
tional Education Association.
War Marks Transition.
Barnes said the World War now is
one of the four major transitional pc
riods of history. The others he named
as the "so-called dawn of history,
the breakup of ancient society with
the decline of the Roman Empire and
the rise of the modern age after
Columbus"
He called for a modification OF
"our political institutions in keeping
with the changes of the last century
and advances in the economic field to
"provide for fair distribution OF the
social income"
The only safe and sane solution OF
our problems is to be found in edu-
cation" he said, but it will need to
be a type of education which Will
courageously come to grips with the
realities of the second part OF the
twentieth century"
Bair said government should not al
low itself to be held under the infill-
ence of industrial organization.
Discipline Held Necessary.
"If democratic government is to
Justify ITSELF" he asserted, lit must
subordinate these immense corporate
forms by Just. reasoned and constltu-
tional processes, more truly to the
common welfare. 1t is the business of
the schools to see that the will of the
majority is disciplined by sound train
ing. illuminated by historical and cor
rect knowledge and enlarged and hui
manized by saturation in the demo-
cratic principle"
Caswell said there appeared to be
two possible methods of social change,
''the one orderly and gradual, DOM
mated by information and directed in
telligence, and the other violent and
sudden, based upon evaporation, des-
peration and hatred.
If we are to have social change
achieved through orderly and informed
direction, its guidance must be func-
ton of education" he said.
