year when fox hunting is going on
every day there are many equally in
terested in dogs and shooting. The
place was crowded Friday and Satur-
day with those who had entered their
dogs and many who came to look on.
Mr. w. Frank Burrows of Washington,
world authority on shooting dogs, at
tended the meeting and said, Shoot
ing dog stake classes are becoming the
outstanding events in trials, as every
hunter has q shooting dog when he
doesn't have the wide field trial
dog. and can enter in the stakes. 4"
The shooting dog classes have only
been started in field trials in the last
three years and are becoming of more
and more interest to all dog owners.
The Fauquier County Trials, ar
ranged by Mr.. Hubert Phipps and Mr..
Jack McCarty, were well run. Mr.

ton has the coming club of the coun-

TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO HORACE MANN
Speakers on Education
Week Program Praise
School RefOrmer.

The climax of the centennial OBJ
servation of the appointment of Hor-
ace Mann as secretary of the Mas
sachusetts Board of Education 100
years ago was celebrated at meeting
last night as part of the American
Education Week program in the de-
partmental auditorium.
Principal speaker of the evening
was Senator Elbert Thomas of Utah,
who declared that the future Of de-
mocracy is assured educationally, po-
litically, religiously; every way except
socially, where there is some doubt.
Describing himself as a victim OF
the public schools" who has been
connected with them through his en-
tire educational life, the Senator de-
clared "I am what I am because of
Horace Mann"
Democracy and education go hand
IN hand, he said. because democracy
means an informed and intelligent
citizenry.
Other speakers on the program in
cluded Payson Smith, professor of
education at Harvard University;
Daniel j. Doherty, national comman-
der of the American Legion; DR.
Mordecai w. Johnson of Howard Uni
versity, and Assistant Commissioner
of Education j. C. Wright. Oscar L.
Chapman, Assistant Secretary of the
Interior, presided.
Cites Old School Conditions.
Prof. Smith described the extension
Of Manns principles to other coun-
tries and pointed out the terrible
public school conditions existing in
Mann's day, when there was nothing
primmer than the New England
primer except the teacher"
He urged the group to carry out
the unfinished work of Mann.
Bringing the greetings of the Amer
lean Legion, MIR. Doherty declared that
education that is not based primarily
on Americanism fails. Education, he
said, can be one of the greatest things
in life when directed along the proper
lines.
Education for All.
DR.. johnson discussed Horace Mann
as an "anti-slavery" fighter. 1t was
not simply his opposition to slavery
which might have been possible in
any one living in the geographical
section of the country that Mann
did, but rather his moral conviction
against it that makes him worthy OF
the highest praise. Horace Mann
was great believer in the improve
ment of the human being and was
interested in educating the Negro as
well as the members of all races be-
cause they we're human beings, he said.
DR.. Wright brought the greetings
Of the Federal Office of Educa ton, CO.
sponsors with the National Education
Association and the Legion of Ameri-
can Education Week.

Precautions must always be taken
against poison, accidental or other
wise. For some reason or other an
epidemic Of the same seems to have
broken ont in Washington in the last
two months. It's dangerous to turn
the back on ones dog for moment
There's no telling what he'll run
across. A piece of fresh meat placed
in front of his nose will make even
the best trained dog turn the matter
over in his mind for deep meditation
A 5-minute interval of discussion may
leave Pups free to smell out that nice
thing that appeared in front of his
face from out the alley. A couple
of bites and one more victim is added
to the poisoners' lists.
A canine citizen was put in his own
back yard for bit Of sun and air
His board Of control returned q few
moments later to find that q large
piece of meat had been thrown over
the fence. The dog had eaten part
of it and was rolling on the ground
in agony. His owner sent for the
veterinarian at once. Luck was with
them. The patient recovered.
A wet" should be called If there's
the slightest suspicion that something
has happened to a dogs interior
Such as that is not for unskilled at
tention. Every moment counts. Ac-
cording to the anti-cruelty act, q
poisoner Is liable to imprisonment fol
one year and subject to fine. 1t might
be q good plan to have him try his
own dose as well.

Faith Is
E Essential
Children
Happiness Depends
Upon Early Beliefs
and Training.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

IF could give child just one aid
toward a happy life I would give
him faith. First I would teach him
to have faith in himself He needs
that if he Is to try to do anything
from tying his shoe to building his
castle of dreams into actualities.
Begin with little children. Give them
things to do that are we'll within their
power to do, so they can succeed, and
SO have faith in their ability to do
what they want to do.
1t is very easy to discourage a child
so that he loses faith in himself and
cries, II can't" Giving him things
to do that are unfamiliar and, there
fore, full of fear for him, is one way.
Always introduce new experiences cau-
tiously, and do not ask child to try
one out until he has lost his fear OF it..
until he has seen something familiar
in it. The familiar is always help,
especially the one that has proved
successful before.
Next, the child needs faith in other
people. He cannot get along without
that. He has to believe in the good
intentions of those about him. believe
in their word, and in their behavior
toward him. He cannot live alone,
he cannot be independent of people,
not ever in all his life. This faith in
their fundamental goodness is es-
sential to him, and he wins that faith
with experiences shared with his
parents, teachers and relatives.
1t is easy enough to cause him to
lose it and set him adrift on sea Of
uncertainty. That will make him
afraid and once he is beset by fear
his chances of success and happiness
are greatly lessened If not destroyed.
Guard your promises, guard your be-
havior, guard your thinking so as to
preserve the child's faith in you as a
person who is to be trusted, there
fore loved.
Last and always, child needs faith
in God. God is word for goodness.
for truth, for beauty, Begin by teach
ing a child to look for the beauty that
is everywhere about him in the grow
ing things, in the animals, in the f1ow-
ers and fruits. Teach him to look at
the sky often, to marvel at its beauty
and lose himself in its infinity and re-
turn to earth with renewed power and
strengthened faith in the goodness
of all that he sees. Teach him that
wherever he finds beauty, truth, love,
he finds God.
You won't be able to explain God.
Neither will you be able to explain
faith There is no explanation for
either. Faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of
things not SEEN" God is felt, not
seen, and the feel of Him cannot be
spelled out in the terms Of the labor
atory. One takes Him on faith and
one finds then something that COM
forts and satisfies him beyond all
earthly finding.
Teach a child then to have faith
in himself, in his people. in his God.
Show that faith in your daily associa-
tions with him. The rest won't matter,
for having secured his faith, all other
things are open to him.
