One-Room SchooIhouse
Nearly Extinct in U. S.

INDIANAPOLIS. - Consolida-
ton of schools has resulted in
the near-disappearance of the
one-room school in many parts
of the United States. Even in
the most remote rural areas
these schools may soon become
a thing Of the past as school
consolidation continues. Twen-
ty years ago there were 127,500
school districts in the United
States. Now there are only 72,-
900.

A Good Book

A good book should give us
pleasure. It should increase our
enjoyment of life. A good book
should be a beautiful and pleas
urable experience. It should be
well written. One should never
read a book that bores one. We
owe nothing to a bore but absent
treatment.
A heavy tone written in Pc
destrian style, without form, with
out lift, without Imagination is a
book to be avoided. A good book
should evoke not only our rever-
ence, but our eagerness and our
Joy. Good and great books have
survived "the tooth and raSure of
oblivion" to use Shakespeare'S
phase because they delighted
generations of men who found
deepest satisfactions in them.
They loved them. They loved to
preserve them and transmit them.
Unless Thy Torah had been my
delight, / would have been lost in
the poverty of my life" That is
what gave survival to faith =
deep, abiding joy. Good books,
too, have been preserved because
they delighteth the tired hearts
of men and gave them a sense OF
joy in the midst of sorrow, solace
in the midst of grief, inspirationn
in the midst of Encouragement,
new horizons when the world had
fenced them in.
There may be other tests of a
good book. I am sure that / have
not exhausted the subject. To me.
at least, this is what a good book
should do. These are the kinds OF
books that one should reach for,
because life is short. We ought not
! to waste the little time which we
have for reading upon worthless
things. upon books which add
nothing to us, which take nothing
away from us, which do not feed
US, which do not inspire us and
which do not really give us joy
and the lasting satisfactions in
life.
There are many such books
among Jewish books. I would
urge you to acquire them and
read them. You will enrich your
neart and mind.

HAL BOYLE SAYS

NEW YORK R - Are you a
stuffed shirt?
Chances are the answer is-yeS,
sometimes.
Practically everybody Is. Pros
perity creates more stuffed shirts
than anything else, and times have
been pretty good for quite a while
What is a stuffed shirt? He is
anyone with an undue sense of self.
importance, who lets himself gel
out of perspective in relation to
other people,
A stuffed shirt is able to initiate
himself with his own hot air, and
name me anybody who doesn't
have the urge to do that now and
then today. Fortunately, the pin
pricks of conscience and common
sense-plus the ability to look in a
mirrow and laugh at ourselves
makes most of us self.deflating,
too.
If silence were really golden,
the stuffed shirt would be pauper.
It is his conversation that reveals
what he is stuffed with-normally
his head with nonsense, his heart
with sawdust.
The stuffed shirt can occasional
ly be dangerous, often he is a sad
figure, but generally he is merely
ludicrous, as most things out Of
perspective are.
II is fun to collect stuffed shirts
as a hobby. Like the mosquito
their habitat ranges from the
Tropics to the Arctic Circle. But
the best places TO net them are in
their homes, in railroad club cars,
at bars or cocktail parties.

Over Exposure
Sunlight

Persons who make a career Of
overexposing their skins to sun
light year after year are asking,
indeed begging for trouble.
Judicious exposure to sunlight Is
healthful and stimulating, but this
amount is far exceeded by many
persons in the sun-worshipping age
in which we live.
Little Johnny, whose nose was
red and peeling all summer long,
year after year when he was 4
boy, can well look for 4 growth
Of horny tissue on that nose when
he is As or 50. It may be the BE-
ginning of skin cancer.
Fishermen, yachtsmen, golfers,
archers, farmers and plain sun
bathers who overexpose hands,
arms, face and neck to sunlight
throughout the years may expect
to see brown patches and dry
wartlike LESSONS on the exposed
skin. Given sufficient time, they
may develop into cancer.
This type Of cancer is often
quite unnecessary, and preventable
in large measure by wearing 4 hat
or protective film Of good sun
screen cream when out in the high
sun on warm days.
Cancer Of the skin Is far more
common in portions Of the world
where the percentage Of sunny
days is high.
Persons whose work takes them
into the sun more often than
others, such as farmers and SAIL
ors, develop skin cancer far more
frequently than persons whose
occupations keep them indoors.
Negroes. whose skins are protected
from the sun by natural pigment,
rarely develop cancer Of the skin.
Persons with blonde or red hair
