How shall the average teacher start the work of Humane Edu cation in the class room? In many a state where the law. r quires this instruction, no ' pro vision has been made to place in the teachers' hands brief, prac tical directions, telljng just what Humane Education is, and how to reach the pupils with its fundamental principles. In thou sands of instances teachers nave neglected the subject not know ing how to undertake it In thousands of other instances they baye bad simply to do the beBt they could. The Presibent of the American Humane Education Society has been working on the problem for over a year, and the Society at last is ready to issue what will be known as "The Teacher's Helper." This attractive book let of some 32 pages has con densed the needed information into the smallest possible 'space. It begins with a brief statement of what Humane Education means. It tells the teacher how, without having to make any serious drafts on his or her time, or interfering with . the regular work of the class-room, or tak ing time from other studies, to awaken the pupils' interest in the subject. Various methods are outlined. Topics are sug gested for essays for the various grades, a list of the best books on animals is given, also a list of pictures suitable for the clasa room, and mottoes for the black board. With this concise, well printed easily-read pamphlet, teachers can at once, with pleasure to themselves and their pupils, make this branch of study, to which perhaps only a few minu tes a week are devoted, one of the most profitable and enjoyable of all the subjects of the class room; That no subject is of greater importance in the forma tionof character and in deter mining good citizenship for the future of the state, we believe all will agree who have ever given the matter thought. This pamphlet has been sub mitted to several of the leading educators of the country for their judgment upon it, and up to the present every reply has contained a cordial endorsement Oiir Dumb Animals. Are You Aware Of The Fact That this fall there will be more than five million v guns blazing away at our wild life all through the open season on game? That three-fourths of the hunt ers are not sportsmen but just plain butchers? That at the present rate of killing there will be no game left in a very few years? That once gone thin beautiful wild life cau never be brought back? That the only way to save it is by the passing -at once of wise laws cutting in half the open seasons and the numbers of birds and animals a hunter may take in a season? - ' r That this concerns not hunters alone but every man,-woman and child in America? That nothing Is easier than to take life, but no human power can restore it? 'yr'yryy. That we of to day are respon sible to the children of to-mor row for the preservation of their 'inheritance?.!' . .'":'. . . ANOTHER STILL CAPTURED. Bertie County Loses Another Hookey 4 Rum EstabI!shmentTwQ Hen fnvol?ed. Sunday morning, before day break, a revenue officer alighted from a Coast Line northbound train at Kelford and ' secured a conveyance and went down to wards Aulander to the edge of War Tom pocosin, near -HarreU'v Siding, and direct to a monkey rum establishment. The party arrived at the still before day and hid themselves nearby to await developments. Early in the morning Walter Peele.white, and Tom Newsome, colored, came to the still and stirred the stuff but evidently decided it was not in the right condition for distill ing. They were taken in custo dy, and Monday taken before a U. S. Commissioner at Tarboro for a bearing. About 250 gallons of beer was destroyed. The supply of liquor for Rich Square has not been cut off yet, nut ii these revenue men con tinue to destroy the stills there is danger of the price going up. Our boys who are operating stills near Elm Grove school, in Bull Neck and on tne Roanoke plan tations had better be careful, or they will be pounced upon be fore they know it Some of their customers in Rich Square and 'Vicinity have permitted the whereabouts of the stills to be known. From A, New Voter. Editor of the Times: ' V Mr. Harding is reported to be elected for our next President. Now I used all my feeble efforts to defeat him, but as be is to be our next President I shall turn about, and wish him a happy, peaceful, prosperous term. Hop ing he moy execute all matters appertaining to his office, for this country and for the world's in terest And for doing his whole duty'conscientiousy, we may love and reverence him as much as we do Mr. Wilson. So let us be ginright now to render him all respect as due our President It would be too far beneath us as citizens to cherish any prejudice against our President. It would not only be very unpleasant to the President, but would lower our country in the estimation of other nations. We should not speak evil of dignitaries, so lets all swallow our disappointments and Hurrah for Harding, with the spirit to make his term pleasant A New Voter. PLEA FOR A "RAISE." The high cost of living has reached even India, and a native teacher who was getting only five rupees a month felt it necessary to auk for a raise.

Not on the tongue nor in the clothes nor among the transient social forms refined or rude, which mottle the surface of life. True Ameri canism is this: To believe that the inalienable rights of man to life and liberty and the' pursuit of happiness are given of God. To believe that any form of power that tramples on these rights is unjust. To believe that taxation with out representation is tyranny; that government must rest upon the consent of the governed, and that the people should choose their own rulers. : To believe that freedom must ba safeguarded by law and order and that the end of freedom is fair play for all. To believe not in a forced quality of conditions and estates, but in a true equalization ot burdens, privileges and oppor tunities. yvi To believe that the selfish in terests of persons, classes and sections must be subordinate to the welfare of the common wealth.-- ' To believe that the Union is as much a necessity as liberty is a divine Rift To believe that a free state should, offer an asylum to the oppressed, and be an example of virtue, sobriety, and fair dealing to all nations. VT6 believe that for the exist ence ana perpetuity o: iu.cn a state: i man should be willing to glys bit whole mleti In labor Mi MARGARETTSVILLE LOCALS.
