cording to his own idea, and that
any wilful distortion of their bodies
is a great sin as we'll as a folly. The
lungs should be trained to free, full
and healthy action, for they are the
very springs Of vitality. If our
breathing is imperfect, all the func-
tions of the body and mind are i'm
peded.
Health is the pearl of great price,
beside which no other earthly bless
ing can be placed, and without
which everything loses its charm.
No where in our educational system
is there so great a defect as the fail
ure to secure attention to hygienic
laws. Nervous diseases and frail
abundant, and they will continue to
increase till an intelligent hygiene
shall furnish the true preventative.
To maintain the highest mental
vlsor, each faculty Of the mind
should receive it's due share of cul-
tlvation. Our various faculties were
not bestowed at random, TO be used
prompt, but each faculty has its ap-
pointed place in the mental econ
omy. We must form in the pupils
minds habits of attention, accustom
the mind to continuous thought,
cultivate the reasoning powers, and
beget taste for exact knowledge il
we would have them equal to the in
tellectual effort essential to true
success in every calling in life.
The work Of the school-room is to
lay the foundation upon which the
building is to be reared in after
life Let this thought be per-
manently impressed upon the minds
of the pupils otherwise the beau
tiful and charming flowers Of prom
ise under our control and training
will waste their sweetness on the
desert air.
Pupils have. also, moral powers,
which discriminate between right
and wrong. Upon the right use of
these powers, depend the happiness
and destiny Of man.

BETTER OF'F-RELATIVES
BELIEVE OF Al BRADY

1t is routine newspaper enterprise
when desperate of the Dillinger OF
Al Brady stripe is moved down by
peace officers, to notify the fallen
bad mans family, his wife, if he has
one, his parents, brothers and sis
of those most closely bound to the
deceased by ties of blood or senti-
ment. There is a depressing SINH
larity in the response evoked by the
grim news. Almost without excep-
ton, those who should be nearest
and dearest to those who defied the
law and died as a result, express
themselves as feeling that the hus-
band or son, or brother, is 'better
off,"
Better off, is a phrase which is
often loosely used, sometimes by in
dividuals not noticeably callous
otherwise, in speaking of their de-
parted. But it perhaps never has
grlmmer or more despairing impli-
cations than when said of someone
whose life society has forcibly taken
1t means that the person who utters
it realizes that the one of whom it
is spoken faced something more ter
rible and forbidding than the cold,
stark fact of death itself.
These present day "bad men" are
not all products of the slums and
underworld Many of them, like
the infamous Dillinger Or Al Brady,
came from solid, respectable God
fearing homes, from families in
which they were the only deviates
from strict honesty and observance
of law.
It is a terrible thing for any fam
lily to be forced in honesty to make
such a statement That it is a dec
laratiOn SOrrOwfully uttered nar-
haps in more cases than reach the
