Here is a little human interest
story that will interest you il you
have boy in the service or II you
are a psychiatrist.
My friend joined me in the club.
He was obviously feeling very proud
and happy about something. He told
me he had just had a telephone call
from his boy who was training to be
a paratrooper. 1t is something to be
allowed to take the training-all
are volunteers. 1t is a lot more to
make good.
Well. the boy had made his first
jump from a plane. II was, he had
phoned his father. Just like riding
on a roller-coaster. The real hard
jumps. he said. we're the first at
about IS feet from a tower with a
cable attachment. And the fifth
jump from the plane. That is the
one that ends lot OF careers. Some
Of the toughest-fibered boys can't
make that one. even If they have
gone through those preceding, in
Guiding the hrst tower jump. Then
they are washed up" as the say
ing goes. and they disappear.
But a lot disappear after the FIRST
Jump. Men who have come back
with medals for bravery in action
sometimes stand there, the tears
streaming down their cheeks be-
cause they just can't dive of into
nothing.
But my friends boy said Il was
like a roller-coaster. And as the
father sat there you could see that
that meant a lot to him and at last
be revealed why.
Il couldn't help remembering" he
said, when the boy was about Ave
and his older brother had Just
climbed up on a chair and jumped
off. He got up on the chair but he
Just couldn't make the jump

The Purpose Of Man
These DaysbMy e gEo In 9s yozohsH7

Mrs. Vashti McCollum in Cham
paign, ILL.,, raised two issues when
she threw religious education into
the courts:
/. The right OF the parents to
control the education and culture
of a child;
2. The place of religious educa-
ton in American life.
With regard to point l. Mrs. Nc
columns position cannot be con-
tested. In Soviet Russia, in Nazi
Germany. in Fascist Italy and in
all other totalitarian countries,
where man has been a thing of the
State, education has been designed
to produce creatures serviceable to
the State and its managers, as ma
chimes are manufactured, for the
same reason. The character, the
dignity Of man, was ignored; only
his functional serviceability as a
producer for and use to the State
was given consideration. In each
OF these countries, not only was
the body, but also the mind and the
spirit enslaved to the State.
In the United States, the child.
as a member of family, is reared
and controlled by his parents. The
State may assist by such a device
as the public schools and the state
owned colleges, but such assistance
does not, even by implication, trans
fer the trusteeship for the child
from the parent to the State.
American civilization is based upon
the family, not upon the State.
From this standpoint. Mrs. Vashti
McCollum is altogether within her

They said plainly. ITS your handi-

.Terry's happy laugh answered
him.
The discussion finished. McCon-
nigle and Raff started off. But Jime
and Terry insisted on going along.
They took the station wagon and
drove through the waving sea of
pampas to the peon settlement
where the first houses were going
up.
Terry was amused at the assem-
blage Of peon women and children
around the houses.

housekeeping among the uprights. "
Jime said.
Most Of them had brought along
food for their lunches and were
spending the day watching these
wondrous homes of theirs going up
They were too engrossed for more
than quick greeting to Jime and
Terry. Each two by four that went
into place fascinated them. And on
one house where the roof was being
laid several peon women were gaz-
ing with open-mouthed awe.
Children scampered about, col
lecting blocks and shavings, teeter-
ing precariously along horizontal
planks. letting out yelps Of exuber-
ance like small balloons too full OF
the air of excitement.
Terry and Jime were almost as
thrilled. These were their dreams

TERRY'S SLEEP was troubled.
When she woke the next morning
she smiled ruefully at the long,
wild dreams she had rambled
through. The day was sunny, and
the brackish smell Of tucura was
gone. She slid her feet into mules,
wrapped her robe about her, and
started for the shower.
Her head was better, too, she
noted with satisfaction. The dull
ache was almost gone and she had
no feeling OF dizziness.

, rights when she, being what Is
euphmistically called a nationalist,
desires that her child shall be ra-
tionalist, by which she apparently
means one who is governed not by
historical traditions or by the faiths
OF ancestors but by the tangible and
proyable evidence of private rea-
son. That is entirely her business.
But point raises altogether an
other issue. This country was
founded principally by religious eX-
lies, and it, institutions and tradi-
tions are a product of the Christian
religion as its ethics are rooted in
the Old Testament. Few peoples
have. in modern times, taken their
religion as seriously as the Amerl-
cans who, in spite of moderniza-
ton and higher criticism, are devot-
ed not only to their faiths but are
so conscious OF the minutiae OF re-
ligious dogma and doctrine that
they continue to split into fractions
and particles of church organiza-
tons. Only a deeply religious both
err over dogma with such intensity
that some 35S religious sects appear
in the land.
But more, all education in the
United States started as Church
education. Schools, colleges. sem
inaries were at first organized by
religious denominations, so that re-
ligious teaching was as fundament-
al as the three RS. Separation OF
Church and State never meant sep
aration of the school from God. In
most schools during most of Ameri.
can history-which is more than
300 years-the days work was
opened with Bible reading and the

Your Health
Many Causes
to be Checked
For Headaches


to be Checked
For Headaches
By HERMAN " DUNpESEN. NJ. =
PERSONS with headache are
apt TO blame the condition on the
eyes, bowels or sinuses. OF course,
headaches may come from dis
turbances Of these parts Of the
body, but there are many other
causes. When a headache is caused
by sinus infection, the pain oc-
ours in attacks. II usually starts
about ten in the morning, reaches
its greatest severity about noon,
and gradually eases off between
three and four in the afternoon.
The location Of the pain will
depend on the sinus affected. II
the frontal sinus is affected, the
pain is usually felt across the fore
head. II the sinuses in the cheek
bones are affected there is pain
behind the eyes. Headache occurs
in the temples when the ethmoid
sinuses are affected. ~ sphenoid
sinuses are located far back and
the pain in sphenoidal sinusitis is
in the back part Of the head.
Tenderness Over Sinuses
A useful sign in determining II
headache is due TO sinus infection
is to determine if there is tender
ness over the sinuses. The pressure
over the sinuses in the cheek-bone
should be made at a point about
one-half inch to the side Of the
A-e. In examination Of the frontal
SINUS the pressure snould oe maze
on the under surface Of the ridge
above the eyes.
Another method Of diagnosis Is
the use of transillumination. This
procedure is carried out in dark
ened room using a light. The light
is placed in the patients mouth
and then the doctor sees if the
light passes through the various
sinuses which are visible. If these
examinations indicate sinus infec-
ton an X-ray may be taken of the
sinus, which is also helpful in the
diagnosis. A complete nose and
throat examination also helps.
Plug of Wax
A plug Of wax in the ear canal
may be responsible for pain in the
temples. Congestion Of the lining
membrane of the nose on one side
indicates the presence of sinus in
lection in that section and dis
charge from the nose is also a sign
of sinusitis.
OF course, once It is decided that
sinus infection is present, proper
treatment may then be carried out.
This may consist in the use Of
nose drops which shrink the lining
membrane Of the nose and allow
the discharge to escape. Suction
pumps may also be employed in
this process. In some instances,
operations may be required

an occasion for special services;
and children were excused for ren-
gious observances on days when
the schools remained opened, as.
for instance, Rosh Hashanah ana
Yom Kippur for Jewish pupils.
Whereas the United States recog.
nized no one religion as part of the
State, It did recognize God and put
upon its coins, I'm God We Trust.
The question then arises wheth-
er the child's mind should be e1-
posed to the mythology OF current
sociology but not to the 5000 years
OF relationship to Gods Word;
whether Karl Marx is legitimate as
an historical figure, but not Moses
and Jesus Christ; whether the
nonsense OF Henry Wallace is more
serviceable to human culture than
the wisdom of Isaiah and Paul.
True, we might employ a capitals
tic teacher to tell of Marx and a
communistic teacher TO explain
Adam Smith, but Il fouls our tradi-
tions to hire an atheistic teacher
to explain the beauties OF the
Psalms or the loftiness Of the Bea-
titudes.
And 80, in some 1850 communi-
ties in this country, time is releas-
ed for religious education programs
in which the child is given religious
instruction by those who are sym
pathetic with the faith OF each
particular child's parents. Mrs.
Vashti McCollum's suit, as Ed
Borman, of the Champaign.Urbana
News-Gazette, points out, may result
in the discontinuance of these pro-
grams. And 1t is this fact which
makes her suit OF such moment.
She may succeed in destroying a
valuable phase Of the cultural train
ing of the American child.
