MEXICO.
The news from Mexico is not en
couraging. One of ,Carranza's chiefs,
p| Herrera, Villa to fight
America, nor do the Carranza troops
show whole-souled co-operation with
America in the hunt for Villa.
When Qen. Funston asked for a
large army, he was taking the meas
ure of the crowd he was to deal with,
and the co-operations at Washing
ton with his requests indicates, too,
that there were possible difficulties
i that the entire country were un
aware of.
America has been entirely fair
with Mexico, granting eveiy privi
lege in return for those atked, but
I there are the warring, jealous fac
tions who have little regard for
their country's welfare and less for
honorable dealing.
America ia not for conquest, but
ahe ia in honor bound to protect the
livea and property of her citizens
from ft reign interference. This she
will dc, but the cost be great.
Community Service Census of Boon
Station Township—Other Items
About Elon.
Cor. ol The Qleaner.
March 10th. —Four teams of six
young men each representing the
Social Service Committees of the
Y. M. C. A. and Christian En
deavor Society today took H com
munity survey census of Hooti
Station township. The Informa
tion sought in this survey related
itself to the number of children,
church affiliation, publications
coming to the home, school facili
ties, lodge or other fraternal mem
bership and needed improvements
for community betterments. This
i • survey was based upon the out
lines furnished by Warreu 11.
Wilsou and Anna B. Taft in their
books respecting Community Ser
vice Work. ' Immediately after
the results o( the survey have
been tabulated the special com
mittee will study the facts reveal
ed so aa to enable the young men
of the College to adapt themselves
effectively to the community bet
terment work, which they plnu to
carry out by a progressive and ex
tensive policy from year to year.
One of the outstanding events of
the year in connection with this
community betterment program
is to be an annual Community
Service Day at the Collegu on,the
last Saturday in February, in
t which the College and its religious
organisations and the State De
partment of Agriculture will co
operate.
ESix young ladies representing
the Y. W. C. A. also made a sur
ivey of the village, collecting what
ever data they could And which
might be used for the botterment
of the town. Their report will
be a part of the community sur
vey.
Coach Johnson is busy those
days on the athletic diamond
drilling his men into shape for the
baseball season, which officlally
opens on Saturday with the Uni
versity of North CarolinaatChapel
Hill. "Jack", aa he is familiarly
called, ia qnite optimistic as to
the aeaeon's outlook, feeling sure
that a brilliant record awaits his
team.
Disquieting rumors have reach
ed the campus touching the con
dition of the College pastor, Dr.
J. O. Atkinson, who ia in the
Johns Ilopkins Hospital. It is
hoped that the treatment he is re
ceiving in Baltimore will result iu
hia speedy restoration, but there
ia no denying the fact that there
la considerable anxiety here with
respect to his oondltiou.

Une of tJie best Democrats w..0
has never held or soagnt oilice
himself, but wno has an intelligent
grasp of the political situat.o.i, Was
talking to me about "rotation in
ofllce. what he said impressed me
as being so pertinent at this time
that 1 quote him in part.
"Of course," said he, "wnere a
public officer has proved niuiseii
ineflicicnt or not suited to the po
tation, after a r.asonaolu trja.
lie snould be replaced oy a more
suitable or efficient man—and he is,
usually. But the old uereay 01 ro
tation in office Just for rotation s
sake, has jilayed, out in Nortn Caro
lina. ihe simple demand for a job
held by a good and faitnlul ser
vant of the State, by some man
whose cmef if not only claim
above that of tne incumbent, seems
to be lui( desire for itH honors and
aalary, should not cut very rauc.i
ice ifowadays—and will not.
/fiUiclencj' in the discnarge of
duty, wlncn is always large.y de
pendent on experience, is the most
valuable asset the State nas in
its public ollicials.. Most voters be
lieve this and are not so puck now
adays to turn out such a Demo
crat simply because another wants
the Job and salary. Unless the new
ajipiraut can show unlitness, ineffi
ciency or dereliction on the part ol
the incumbent he is likely to have
up lull sledding in grabbing tne
oifice on the single pretext tnat
the present officer lias had it long
enough.
For the purpose of illustration
take the case of the Secretary ol
State. William llill held tuat offi
ce for 4» consecutive years—fro.n
the war of I*l2 until tne breaking
out of the war between the State*
because lie was an efficient, ca
pable officer and the people would
, not allow him to resign or retire.-
Wllliam L. Saunders, who died in
oflice, would have held it as long
had he lived, perhaps. The present
Secretary of State is admittedly a
most efticient and capable ollieer
and there has never been complaint
of any lack of ability in the dis
charge of his duties.
"The officer who has served long-'
est is the State Treasurer. 1 know
of no charges against Mr. Lacy,
yet he will nave opposition in tne
nominating primary.
"No State has figured more prom
inently and creditably in the Con
gress during the present crisis of
our country than North Carolina.
Hut this State would not have p.ay
ed anything like so conspicuous a
part of we had clung to tne old
heresy of "rotation In office" and
kept the seats filled with new men
every few years.
"In private businesa men do not
discharge their best employes, af
ter they have been tried and test
ed, even to jirovide personal friends

be fitted to fill. The State should
be e imilly careful of its best inter

Teaching The Lesson.
Many things can beet be defined
by telling what they are not. This
method may help ns in getting
more clearly in mind what teach
ing Is, since other processes are so
often taken for teaching. Hear
ing the lesson Is not teaching. The
teacher (?) often snys I was hear
ing the Grammar lesson or the
Geography lesson when so and so
happened. It may be bo that she
was, and very likely she was
hearing the Lesson, but that is not
teaching the lesson, not at all.
Hearing is passive but teaching is
active, as she shall learn. Telling
is not teaching. We may tell a
great many things but we teach a
much smaller number. I saw a
crowd of ladies a few days ago re
turning from a club meeting and
it seemed to me that all were tell
ing something at the same time,
but I am confident that no one
was taught. Telling is not teach
ing. I saw a lady teaching some
children to road. She had told
one all the words on the first sixty
pages of the book. But when a
test was made to find the number
of words taught it was found that
she had taught one—that word
was "it". When the child was
asked to reproduce what he bad
been taught he called "it" by its
name, but he called "on" "in",
and "in" "on", and "was" "saw",
and the larger words he could not ,
call. The teacher told him dozens
of words but she taught him oply
one.
' If teaching is not hearing the
lesson, and if it is not telling, j
what is teaching? Teaching is ,
the process Of causing one to know ,
what he did not know before. (
Teaching is the successful trans- {
ferring of knowledge. Teaching
is both active and passive. It is .
active on the part of the teacher ,
and passive on the part of the .
learner. There can be no teach
ing where there is no learning. It .
is claimed by scientists that there .
can be no sound where there is no (
ear. There can be no teaching
where there is no ear, eye nor any
other avenue used in approaching j
tlie brain. Teaching is the pro- j
cess of placing something in the j
mind of another in such a way j
that it finds lodgment.
The two senses almost entirely ;
used in teaching are the senses of (
seeing and hearing. Too often
hearing is used alone. The more
effective w»y to teach is to teach
through the eye instead of the ear.
We understand and remember
much more of what we see than
we do of what we hear. Every (
one has heard the expression, "It
went in at one ear and out at the .
other." But few, if any, ever
heard the expression, "It went in !
at one eye and out at the other."
It is easier for knowledge to go in
at the eye than at the ear and not
so easy to get out. It is claimed ,
by those who have made investi
gations that we remember 1.10 of
what we hear, 5.00 of what we
write, 7.10 of what we see and
9.10 of what we do/ According
to these statements the ratio of
hearing and seeing is 1 to 7in .
favor of seeing.
There are many ways of reduc
ing to sight what is usually taught
through hearing. One good teach
er of the wri'er used to say to his
class when we failed to grasp a
principle in Arithmetic, "Let me
draw a and explain"—mean
ing by figure some plot or dia
gram. And when he drew that
figure he had very little trouble,
usually, in making clear what be
fore was unseen and uuknowu. A
diagram will show the relation
between parte of a sentence
through the eye as it can never be
shown through the ear. Think
for a moment how much Geog
raphy we learn and learn not to
forget from looking for a few
minutes at a map. Many times
the abstract and difficult may I'e
pictured, made concrete, and
he.nce made easy, as it is given to
the mind through the eye.
In order for the teacher to bring
the matter tanght and the mind
of the one taujht into such vital
relationship that the matter finds
lodgment in the mind of the stu
dent the teacher should know
both the matter and the mind.
She must be familiar enough with
the matter to define it, to describe
it, to analyze it, to tell about it
in terms known to the mipd of
the one taught. A teacher can
never teach well what she does not
know. She can never teach well
what she does not know well.
Neither can she lodge something
in a chilli's mind unless she knows
enough of the mind to make the
connection. "We can never make
others know our knowledge unless
we can comprehend their ignor
ance."
Just here many mistakes are
made in teaching. The teacher
takes too much for granted. She
supposes the student to know
things that he does not know.
Here she begins to build before
laying a foundation. She fails in
teaching, because she fails to make
plain the simple. Teaching con
sists In going from the known to
the unknown. So often the teacher
tries to go from the unknown to
the unknown, and when she does
she fails—there is no connection.
It is foil) to ask a student what
direction New York is from Green
wich if he does not know what nor
where Greenwich is nor anything
about direction, to say nothing of
New York. First teach him about
Greenwich and direction, and then
talk about the direction of New
York from Greench. The chances
are that he will then have enough
to do to find New York. Begin at
the beginning and take one step
at a time. Don't try to climb the
ladder by beginning at the top.

P. A. CAPDAU
who owns and operates one of the big
■tores In New Orleans, says:
"I am of the opinion that Rexall Or
derlies are the Ideal laxative for men,
women and children. This opinion Is
based upon my knowledge of the for
mula and npoa what my customers
say about them. Through personal ex
perience, I know they are pleasant to
take, gentle In action, and give the
same pleasing results when used by
men, women or children."
We have the exclusive selling rights for
this great laxative.

"We build the ladder by which
we rise,
And we march to its summit
round by round."
The serious fact is that if we do
not begin at the bottom and mount
round by round we do not nfount
at all.
To much of our so-called teach
ing starts nowhere and goes no
where. It is just words, words,
words without arrangement or
direction or aim. The teacher
must have somo plan to be follow
ed, some goal to be reached, and
then proceed logically to follow
thatpplatn t unfolding the truth in
an intelligent and intelligible
manner as she goes till the goal
is reached and the banner of
possession are driven down se
curely. Do not drift, sail.
Do not lead the student, let Limi
go, but direct him. He will fol
low blindly so long as you lead
him. Do not carry him. To carry
him is mnch worse than to lead
him. If you carry him he will
soon a weakling and an
imbecile. Let liim walk. Do not
drag him. If you drag him he
will become bruised and bleeding.
His capacity for learning will be
reduced and he will become dis
qualified for being taught.
The child is never taught and
taught properly till the lesson is
classified and related to what is
already in the child's mind so the
mind seizes the new matter with
a firm mental grasp. This rela
tion between the old and the new
should be made close enough for
the student to get a clear compre
hension before the teaching ceases.
Teach him to see the and
the effect and how the cause pro
duces the effect. Teach him the
whole and the parts that make the
whole and how the parts fit into
the whqle. Teach him to dis
tinguish between the important
and the non-essential, and why
one part is more important than
another. Use any and all these
methods till the lesson is taught.
Drill, drill, drill till the child has
a clear, lirm, and fixed conception
of the lesson taught.
