The great National Educational As-
sociation, which recently met in Dai-
as, no doubt inspired some boys and
Sirls to make the best of their op-
portunities.
However, some has said that there
are thousands of students in Ameri-
can colleges now who are doing no
good and ought not to continue to
waste their time in school. Presum-
ably they are those who have be-
fogged their intellects with cigar-
ettes and liquor until they cannot
master books.'
Mrs. Eva Slaton

cigarette smokers could nov-
er pass the tenth grade. The once
bright and promising intellect has
been so weakened that it breaks
down under the weight of hard study.
Some may continue and pass, but will
know practically nothing when it is
visited in all over.

Education is said to be, in one of
its aspects, the development of the
mind, as in the growth of corn. First
the blade, then the ear, then the full
ripe corn in the ear. So the well de-
veloped mind becomes very strong
and and prepared to take in great
learning.
—o-
As the result of training and learn-
ing the world progresses, invention
follows. We are now talking across
the Atlantic. Frank Crane says "it
will not be long before an inhabit-
ant of the Pacific coast will be able to
take down his telephone and simply
"plug in" to London, where he can be
heard distinctly."
—o—
The radio is wonderful, and the
adaptation of the radio to telephone
:ommunication is marvelous. Dr.
Millican says: "There have been
greater inventions since 1920 than
in all the nineteenth century."
George Washington, whose birth-
day we have recently celebrated,
would be 195 yea>vs old if he were
living yet, and he is living some-
where in spirit, while his body sleeps
in Mount Vernon.
—o—
Thomas Jefferson said of George
Washington, that "he was indeed, in
every sense of the word, a wise, a
good and a great man." That is a
whole lot to be said of any man.
Some schoolboy who may read this
may have that much said about him
some day.
—o-
It is also said of Washington that
he was "first in war, first in peace,
and first in the hearts of his country-
men."
And still further, it is said of him:
"If there had been no revolutionary
war to bring him to the front as a
leader, he would have been, anyway,
the greatest man in America in his
time or any other time." If that is
true, then he Is so far the greatest
American.
—o-
George Washington did not have
the best of educational Opportuni-
ties, but he improved what he did
have. He is said to have been
silf made man, and he was well made.
He was a close student and improved
his time.
Rome boys are discouraged be-
cause they have not had the best
of opoprtunities, and give up and
amount to but little. Others make
the best of their opporutnities and
climb to the top rung of the ladder of
fame.
Some one has said: "If close bob-
bing continues in favor, we predict
that the men will go back to whiskers
and challenge the women to follow
them." Men should not be so cruel.
It might cause some women to buy
and wear false whiskers, or else
paint their lips black for a mus-
tache.
Some women are great imitators.
They followed the men in the drink
habit in Great Britain until it was
said that some years ago there were
more drunken women than drunken
men in England.
It is a common report that many
girls are now following the boys in
the cigarette habit. But it should
not be forgotten that when a man
starts out to select a wife he would
prefer one who is not a cigarette
fiend.
To be sure the girl has as much
right to cuss and drink and smoke
as the boy has. But it is so shocking
to the average man to hear a girl
swear, or see her with a cigarette in
her mouth, that he is quite naturally
prejudiced against her.
Thoughtful, high class men should
stop and consider, and then refrain
from setting such examples, or any
other examples that it would not be
wise for their wives, sisters or sweet-
hearts to follow,
—o—
If the more intelligent, high toned
young men and women would be mare
careful to set good examples on all
lines they might be very helpful to
the more thoughtless and neglected
ones and there mlghi he fewer wrecks
and suicides.
—o—
A father whose son recently com-
mitted suicide desires to work for the
balance of his life in such a way
as to help other fathers' sons from
committing suicide. If he had started
in that work sooner, he might have
saved his own boy.
.1. W. Felder and family of Hollis,
Okla., were visiting Mrs. Felder's
mother, Mrs. Dora Spoon, at Dye
Mound, last week, returning home
Monday of this week. They formerly
lived at Dye Mound and moved to
Hollis about eight years ago. Mr.
Felder came in and subscribed for the
Tribune before returning.
