The light of great ideals has been the Baring force thra 'all the centuries Richer ia ritalilf than any race. during than monuments of stone. Ideals are practical. Like the ben and the air, they are in time* of storm and difficulty. I Some nineteen hundred year* ago] Jesus Christ gave to greatest body of has known. With none of ftap * grades, or degrees; In an ed with Ignorance, snperstitio tality, and force of tiring i started a new epoch; significant that the c from hia birth, so powerful that it has changed the whole course of hu man erents, so ^taiflctil that nn told millions of men hare been lifted higher in the scale of life. Is It not plain ttet what the world needs just now Is n new derotion to great ideals? In statecraft, in busi ness, In industry, in law, in the church. In science, or In teaching can anything be more Intensely fruit- < ful and practical than a renewed ] faith in the higher and finer things? Hour after Hour, day after day, we are all facing situations where there ' is choice between the higher and the , lower. It takes but a little monsense and a will to higher path ? to change the whole course of a life, a school, a nation, or an age. A little more faith, a' little more idealism and the confn- ' nlon of today may gire way to the' fairest dawn the word has seen. Teachers inspired by the tiring el ample of The Great Teacher are pre pared to work and sacrifice as nerer before. Thousands of them In America where banks are bursting with gold hare taught for many, many months without nV ? proring in the hour of need the sustaining power of a great derotion. As we celebrate this Christmas, let us ded icate ourselves anew to those lofty ideals that are the fruit of untold centuries of aspiration and hope, of sacrifice and struggle, of heroism , and courage. In the faith that teaching is the surest way, let us highly resolve ? as we celebrate this birthday of The Great Teacher ? to teach better than we have ever taught before, to teach as tho the whole structure of civilization rested npon our teaching. That is the supreme need of this hour. ? J. E. M. la The Journal. WE ARB A MUSICAL NATION It used to be said that America waa ' pot a. musical nation. Nobody can ' say that new. Eteea is these hard times people are spending money tor | musical entertainment, and buying! musical instruments almost as freely ! as ever. We are no ledger satisfied with pooi1 music. Piwt the phono graph records, tfcot the radio, and latest, the excellent iau?lc which ac companies the Jtall9ng pictures, have certainly all served to elevate the popular musical taste. Not everybody Bae the musical ear or the natural skill to produce music either vocally or lnstruta en tally, but everybody can' command good music by merely turning on the radio pr starting up the phonograph, or the player piano. But this music has to be produced. In the first place, by people of real musical talent We were interested to read about the young New Jersey stenographer, Saida Knox, who has jnst won a $5,000' cash prite for her singing over the radio. We were also interested to read that the most popular musical Instrument tJday is the concertina, and that some of them sell for as high as $600 each. We heard not long ago about a young man who earned a quarter of a mil lion dollars before he was twenty-live composing popular music. And w? have heard Rudy Vallee crooning over the radio. It seems to us that it to a great 4eaJ more important to develop our maslcal talent and bring go&f-m'ua'U and an appreciation of It to everybodj stagers lor grand opera in the ? bit cities. And w e noticed the other da; tba| torn* of the wealthy people wh< .

It havteen a tough year, but, after all, we stil^jiarvlve. It may Or may ' not have been the worst year, from ' the ecoaonlc point of view, In Ameri can history. Some say that It was, [ and some thlak that we have ' had worse. If there were any worse years we don't remember them. The important thing now la to look (bead and see whether 1932 la going to be any better and, particularly, what we can do ourselves to make it better. For one thing, we think thai most people have dropped the idea that there Is some easy way to get money without working for h. That is all to the good. The early Ameri can settlers hid the' right idea. One of the first rules laid down for the Pilgrims of Plymouth was "ttay that w 111 not work shall not eat" That ad monition, Indeed, goes bacV farther than that. 'Tou can find it in the first chapter of the Book of Genesis. It seems to ns that we have pretty well got over the fooMsJi notion that we, as a people, bid disco vered a way to beat that game. There is no doobt that ISM will still be a temgh year compared with' the year H27. 'Everything Isn't go ing to changfc t&t the better, oh New Year's Day.

IS. ? A renewed and more extensive drive to exterminate Chinese bandits In Manchuria was announced by the Japanese war of fice today on the grounds of Increas ing peril to the .South .Manchuria railway. This move was made on the strength of a Rengo news agency dis patch from Tientsin saying the situa tion in the Chinehow area itad to come so grave that Jananeae resi dents in Shanhaikwan had decided to evacuate the city and gqrt*QMna proper. Another report mHt one Japanese and 14 Chinese been killed in a new skirmish. . Marshal Chang Haueh-Dfang has enrolled a large ntimber::af "soldier bandits" in his army, the not* said.

As for Japan Itself, a sweeping shakeup among prefectnral govern ors and high officials of th?- home ministry was taking place. as a part of the Selyukai party's coiMMUUoB of its position preparatory to facing minority difficulties in the approach ing diet session. Wholesale changes in officials, both governmental and prefectural were being effected as rapidly as possible so as to strengthen Premier Inqkal's political machine. All eoBofal offi cials and the governor generals of Korea, Formosa, and the Kwantung leased territory will be replaced by Seiyukal adherants.

Fountain called attention to two out standing tendencies of the times : 1. The tendency toward centrali 7 (.Hon In business; he pointed out that the large corporations are rap idly making it practically impossible tor the Individual to succeed In any bualness whether it be commercial, manufacturing, or banking. He con tended that this la a . tendency that needs to be checked. He said it tends to make too maay of tte workers ot the world servant* at those higher In authority. He said the development of the Individual to do some small thing well ia more desirable than to develop the Individual to take part In. doing some Ms thing. 1. A second tendency that he con demned strongly is the tendency to ward centralisation In government .'roci th* highest ? to the smallest gov ernmental unit. He pointed out the evil of government through high sal aried bureau chiefs. He called at tention to 'the tact that the dtiien coee not vote directly for a adminis trative officer of the United tates, od Indirectly for oft^y Prealdent. The remainder Of the federal officer* are appointed from the Secretary ot Ma it down to the smallest fourth class postmaster. kr. Fountain decrietf this -tendency in the State of North Carolina. He expressed his unqualiflpd opposition ?n the "Short Ballot", particularly the recommendations of the " Brook - ?ings Institute." He told the dob that under this scheme the people ot the state would be allowed to elect cnty one state officer, the Governor, the other state officers would be ap pointed by the governor. He further tailed attention to another feature of this recomjnendatkm ; the abolltipn ot counties of governmental unit*, It uot at one stroke, by a gradual pro cess of substituting state appointM officers for those elected by the- peo Recorder's Court t There were no cases of especial public interest before Judge J.

Y . : To a Bdovl Teacher ^ I wish the member* of our class Could make it very clear Just what you've meant to each o{. us Throughout the passing year. Not only for the lesaons taught And sympathy you're shown But for an understanding heart That seems to read our own. In you we feel we hare a friend, (No matter what our plight) ? That knows Just what to do and We hope all through the coming , years, The good that now you do. With erery changing tide of 11 when, And always do it right. Will eddy back to you. MRS. H. Q. PERRY, -fe Past Hit-Crea tor? "Over The Hills" Do you remember "The Birth of a Nation," "Intolerance," and "The FO*r Horsemen of the Apocalyp**," and "Scaramouche," and "Tol'able David," rid "Stella Dallas"? These half doien pictures were fa vorites In the silent days; would have rated four star* If we had been hand ing stars out at the time. Of the six, only "Tol'able David" has taken talkie shape. Its sound version wasn't aa good as the silent Barthelmess pic ture. But you liked Richard Crom well three-star*' worth In the talkie. Didn't yon? ? If the other live movies mentioned above haven't yet reached the audible cinema, they have contributed to it, unyway. When you! see "Over The Hill" (once a silent hit Itself) at the I uuliburg Theatre, Monday and Tues day, December 28th-29th, you'll be watching the combined efforts of folks who contributed to U14 six super special hfefeur maker* to which we've called your attention. Kae Harsh Buck Mae Marsh, playing the role of Ma In the new talkie, was one of the most important players in "The Birth of a Nation" and "Intolerance." She was, in addition, a star in her own right for many years, with a long 'list of successes to her credit. Bhe left the sereen at the height of her career to marry and' become a mother. And now she is back, for good. Since "Over The Hill" she has been as signed to roles in "Devil's Lottery" ?nd "Governor's Lady." Henry King, the director,' add* "Ot tr The Hill" to a list that Includes . Tol'able David," "The White Slater, " "Stella Dallas" and other box-offioe magnets.' Setts The Caawww John Seitx was cameraman for alt of Rex Ingram's best productions In cluding "The Four Horeemen," "Scar tmouche," "The Prisoner of Zenda' and "The Conquering Power." He did the JGb on "Over The Hill." Robert Haas, art director, worked with Henry King on all hts produc tions, even going to Italy Her the filming of "The White Sister," with Lillian Gtsta, and "Romola," with Dorothy of the Glsh sisters. Also, Haas added decorative value to "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," "Sentimental Tommy" and Peter Ibbetson," all si lent versions. James Klrkwood, who plays the role cf Pa In "Over The JU11," was one ?f Mary Pickford's first director*. Besides directing, he has played leads and character roles for years. James Dunn and Sally Ellera are the newcomers. They and the sound men were hot associated with pic tures 'way back then. However, ttey're noted for "Bad Girl," a this year super-special. And the sound man, Eugene Grossman, is the 'very Hoe who supervised the aound. work on the film of Lindbergh's return fromi FYance. So he's considered pretty Important Stuffed Potatoes ' Stuffed potatoes are a -delicious mainstay tor luncheon. Of course, you need rather large potatoes (or stuffing. * . One well-known restaurant makes a specialty of mealy baked potatoes which are a meal in themselves, though they are not staffed. They are senred split open, both ways, with a big table spoon of butter in each, a tablespoon of chili sauce, and a tablespoon at grated cheese. The re sult W really a stuffed potato. And BoMd Sandwich ? Here is a delicious sanAwicb:' Slice skinned tomatoes that hare been thor oughly chilled, quite thin. Butter roands of bread the sama size as the tomato slices. Spread one slio* with mayonnaise and the other with very finely minced celery, onion or parsley. I'ut one slice of tomato between these two slices of bread. Press neatly tor gether. These were very success fully sarred at a tea the other day. " Easy Apple Sou <* An easy way to make apple sauce is to wash the apples, pull oat the" stems, and cot the apples in quar ters or eighths. Then put 'them over thj fire with enough water to cover, stew until tender, press them through a sieve, sweeten to taste, return to the fire for a couple of minutes until the sugar is dissolved and if neces sary add a little more water to make the apple sauce of the right bonds* tency.
