DEFINITION OF EDUCATED MAN

We call the attention Of readers to a statement
by Robert Hoppock. professor Of education New York
University with the advice that they read what the man
Says and think it
An educated man is who knows where o find
facts when and if he needs them he is a walking
encyclopedia of useless information"
The professor somewhat vexed with some exam
nation questions in geography which could B an
swered by many students in the land. Obviously the
examination related to information to certain faces
previously selected by the writer Of the test not
cessary indicative of any basic intelligence or advanced
education except insofar they disclose good memory.
The examination in geography, according to Profes-
sor Happock suggests that the why colleges and
high schools do not teach geography is because
much Of the geography taught by geography teachers
Of 50 little value to anyone but geography teacher"
This being good sense, in opinion, cast our
vote for the views of Educator Hoppock

A part of Christmas in the
home, on the lawns. at parties
and all occasions in December
are the decorations. They may
be the traditional red and green,
the popular blue and silver or
this years favorite of gold alone
or in combination with other
colors.
AS you plan your decorations,
remember the commonplace ma
terials are better than the artifi-
cial "store-bought" materials.
Use dead magnolia leaves, pine
cones, the common old cookie
bur, red berries from Nandina,
Holly or cranberries, narrow-leaf
evergreens as cedars, juniper and
spruce, along with Christmas
Tree balls or a red bow.
Chinese red paint gives a bril-
liant scarlet covering to dead
magnolia leaves. You can make
beautiful artificial poinsettias by
grouping the red leaves around
small gold Christmas tree balls
nd wiring them to resemble
the flower.

to try to teach our boys to do
things?
Would be mighty good to have
some manufacturing concern
come to Durant and build a fac
tory, and furnish needed employ
ment for the many that do need
and want something to do. I'm
derstand that the Pathfinder boz
dy plant at Kosciusko had over
three thousand applicants for the
four hundred jobs they had to
offer.
We have had many plants come
to Mississippi in the past few
years and understand that many
come here on account of labor.
As soon as we get started we
have the union agents coming
here to organize the labor and
try to dissatisfy them, so they
can extract dues from them.
| believe that If we could make
the state an open shop state, out
having the unions, we could have
many more factories coming here
and to that idea I think we
should appeal to the incoming
legislators to get some laws on
our books.
Yours truly,

Table Decoration

For quick decoration on the
dining table, or a low arrange
ment on the coffee table. use a
large Irish potato. cut flat on
one side. Place the potato in a
small saucer or coaster to pre-
vent damage to table.
Cut a hole in the center and

raj days ahead of time.

Tomato Seed Oil And
Asparagus Soup From
Delaware Products

Ever hear of tomato seed oil ?
Did you know that dehydrating as
paragus butts for soup base can
use most Of the so per cent waste
in the Delaware asparagus indus
try?
Tomato seed oil can be made by
pressing the seeds left after pro-
cessing tomatoes. Says Professor
G. L. Baker, of the Delaware Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, "To-
matO seeds, separated from the
skin waste, can yield up to 18 per-
cent oil by heat, more with oil SOL
vents. The oil is very digestible.
And the residual seed cake has
about 80 to 80 percent protein
which makes it high in feed value
for animals"
Mr.. Baker published these facts
after working on a survey Of what
could be done with by-products Of
DelaWare's fruit and vegetable pro-
cessing industry. Processing is
necessary to stabilize the industry,
and by-product uses ars necessary
to a successful processing indus
try" Baker stated.
Other possible ways Of using
plant wastes might be composing
plant by-pTOducts as a Eaae for
growing mushrooms. Leafy wastes
might be used for dehydrated poul-
try feeds.

Instructions For
Occupying 6. Us

FRANKFURT, Germany Up
Behave like you would in your
own home town.
This is the u. S. Army's advice to
the American soldier in Germany
on how to win friends and influence
Germans. "Act like professional
soldiers" is another precept being
drilled into the CT here.
Perhaps no other country in the
world has such an inherent regard
for military excellence as Ger
many" says the Army bulletin used
as a guide for soldier instruction
classes.
ut is not suggested that appeals
be made to inspire militarism on
their part" the bulletin hastens to
add. ''But the fact that we are here
in military status overrides any
other factor that can influence the
armed forces relations with the
German people,"
Even this recognition of German
love for soldering Is a long step
from the original postwar attitude
Of the American occupation. Ia
those days everything possible was
doZie to discourage any sign or
symptom Of militarism IN Germans.

State Board Of Health
Has Proud Record For
Care OF PaL8ied Tots
CONTINUED from nrss paqo,

AS the Division of Crippled Chill
dren,s Services of the State Board
OF Health brOadened its STAFF, it
MADE available more varied SER
vices for the cerebral palsied child
medical social services back in
1913, speech and physical therapv
services in 1916, hearing services
IN l94S, and Occupational therapy
IN 1861. The opening Of the Gov
ernor Bacon Health Center in the
winter Of 1948 provided an insti-
tuition for the disqualification Of
these children. The medical social
workers and therapists of the State
Board Of Health cooperate with
the stan of the Governor Bacon
Health Center in furnishing the
necessary specialized services that
go into the care of this condition.
DOCTOR Harold Westlake, Direc-
tor OF the Speech and Hearing Clin-
&c at Northwestern University, was
appointed a cOnsultant and started
conducting yearly special speech
clinics for cerebral palsied chill
dren in 1850. Doctor Westlake is
regarded as an outstanding author
ity in this field.
Here are some statistics of in
terest relative to the cerebral pal
sy problem. Seven cases of cere-
Dral palsy are born each year per
100000 population. 15% of these
Ole within the first five years of
NE. There are an estimated four
cases per 1000 population for the
age group six years and above.
On the above basis, Delaware
can expect 81 or more new cases
each year, should have about 1900
so afflicted six years or more of
age, and at least 80 cerebral palsy
children in the age group up to six
years.
About twO-thirds of cerebral pal-
sled children have intelligence
within the educable range. About
one-fourth OF those educable will
be able to attend regular school.
but three-fourths will require spe-
cial educational facilities. A nom
ulation Of 100000 might be EXPECT
ed to contain 100 to 115 educable
children with cerebral palsy Of pre-
school and school age who cannot
go to regular public schools.
Seventy four children with GER
ebral palsy were seen and treated
at the crippled children's clinics
during 1850. approximately so to
1Oao Of all cerebral palsy children
need speech training. About 5O%
Of the children receiving sDeech
therapy through the Division Of
Crippled Children's Services OF the
State Board Of Health have speech
problems associated with cerebral |
palsy.
Cerebral palsy occurs with al
most equal regularity among all
Of people regardless Of their
socio-economic level, occupation or
location Of residence.
