THE HEEDING CALL
It was within the hour,
And at the appointed time,
When the old church bell in the
tower,
Began its solem chimes.
Its silent tones were heard,
Far away in the hills,
And to many a weary heart,
Its magic music thrills.
It was heard in the valleys,
And also in the plains,
It has a splendid message,
And to us it will explain.
Its calling us together,
To a wonderful little spot,
In a little wooden building,
- And its on a vacant lot.
V .
It was a funny little building,
And a queer looking shack,
But in this little building,
The people they did pack.
Now in this little building,
We heard a message read,
Of the transfiguration,
And the raising of the dead.
It told of gods on trouble,
In the book he has given,
Of the death upon the cross,
And the side that was riven,
He sets up the great example,
For his people here on earth,
Will you let him share the burden,
And believe in his new birth.
Will you heed now the calling
Of the ever tolling bell,
Or will you neglect this Silty,
And be sent right down to hell.
J ^ -tr'
Oh then my friends what trouble,
In that laxe that burns with fire,
Its an awful dreadful vision,
To be clad in this attire.
this is the message,
That is being preached today,
Of his death* upon^the cross,
And the debt we have to pay.
Will you today solve the problem
Of the way that leads to light,
Always keep that narrow road,
The road thats in the right.
—By C. R. -Melton.

TEN CITIES CONTINUE5
VISITING TEACHERS
Demonstration Aids in Wip
ing Out Delinquency, j
New York.—Ten cities in which
three-year demonstrations of visiting
teacher work h^ve been completed un
der the auspices of the commonwealth
fund program for the prevention of de
linquency have determined to continue
the use of visiting teachers as a regular
feature of their public school systems.
N According to Howard W. Nudd, di
rector of tbe Public Educational asso
ciation of Now York city and chairman
of the national committee on visiting
teachers which has administered these
demonstration*, the communities thus
convinced of the vain* of the visiting
teacher and planning to cv \tioue her
service* include Burlington, VL, Lin
coln, Neb.; Richmond, Ya.; Red Dank,
N. J.; Kaiaai««oo, Midi.; Sioux City,
Iowa; Biuefield/W. Va.; Sioux Faltg,
S. D.; Warren, Ohio, and Hutchinson,
Kan.
Meanwhile, demonstrations are being
continued by the national committee on
visiting teachers in the following com
munities : Berkeley, Cal.; Birming
hafn, Ala.; Boone county, Missouri;
Butte, iiont; Charlotte, N. C.; Chis
holm, Minn.; Ooatesville, Pa.; Colum
bus, Ga.; Detroit, Mich.; Durham, N.
C.; Eugene, Ore.; Huron county, Ohio;
Omaha, Neb.; Pocatello, Idaho; Ra
cine, Wis.; Rochester, Pa.; Rock
Springs, Wyo.; San Diego, Cal.; Tuc
son, Ariz.; Tutea, Okia.
Appointed by Committee.
When the work is finished in these
cities the thirty Visiting teacher dem
onstrations under the commonwealth
fund program will have been com
pleted. Under the arrangements made
for these demonstrations the visiting
teachers were appointed by the na
tional committee on visiting teachers
subject to the approval of the local
authorities; in each case the national
committee pays two-thirds of the sal
ary for a three-year period and pro
vides funds for certain additional ex
penses, while the remainder of the sal
ary is paid by the local school board.
Several hundred cities have made ap
plication for demonstrations under Cv's
plan, but the thirty communities $rc
vided for in the original grant from
the commonwealth fund having been
chosen, no further applications are now
being considered.
Including the visiting teachers ap- 1
pointed by the national committee for
these demonstrations there are now al
together 186 visiting teachers in the
United States working in 64 cities and
6 counties scattered through 34 states.
These figures are given by Mr. Nudd
In a chapter on the history, purpose
and scope of the visiting-teacher move
ment, which be contributes to “The
Problem Child in School,” a volume of
visiting teacher case narratives by
Mary B. Sayles, just published by the
Joint Committee on Methods of Pre
venting Delinquency, Inc., of 50 East
Forty-second street, New York city.
jjescnDing tne visiting teacher as a
specialist in the schools who devotes
herself to the problems of unadjusted
children, Mr. Nudd, in the article above
referred to, points that “every teacher,
every social worker, and many a
parent Is familiar with the problem
child—the boy or girl whose school
progress or whose reactions to normal
requirements point toward later ineffi
ciency, delinquency, or some other fail
ure in personal or social 'adjustment.
What is the trouble with such children,
and what can be done for them? Hot?
caff ffrji SCtfiofil detain and utilize a
knowledge of the forces that are affect
ing their success, and give them in
fullest measure the benefits of their
educational experience? Puzzles or
pests at home, in school, or elsewhere,
their personal welfare and the welfare
of socjety require painstaking effort in
their behalf. They present at once
the most baffling, the most urgent and
the most interesting problems In the
field of education,” --I
-^6 ' Fin£!:8N?ef?§ of Children. (
. Describing tne methods of the visit
ing teacher in meeting these problems,
which are both educational and social
In nature, Mr. Nudd points out that
this relatively new specialist, trained
both as a teacher and social worker,
'‘is specifically equipped not only to
find out why things are not going right
in the lives of these children but also
to take back to the class teacher, the j
parent or the social agency which may
help, the essential information needed
to meet their individual limitations. As
a result of the new facts she discovers
the school is enabled to see what the
actual situation Is and to become aware
of the real need of the child. It can
often modify requirements to meet the
newly seen limitations by changing the
class, transferring the child to a spe
cial school, shifting emphasis from one
phase of school work to another, adopt
ing a new approach to the child or con
necting his school work more closely
with his outside interests.

RIDIN,’ RIDIN,’ RIDIN’
Ridin\ ridin’, .ridin,
Ridin’ all the time;
Who cares about the cost of gas—
A dollar or a dime?
Everybody’s ridin’ 'round,
All the world’s a-quiver,
Rich man in his limousine,
Poor man in his flivver.
Craps-awaitin' in the field
For the plow and hoe;
Folks ain’t got on time to work;
Go somewhere to go.”
Boss man leaves the big house
gate
On a fishin’ trip;
Soon from every lane and road
Flivvers hop and skip.
Mother needs a spool of thread,
Store some three blocks far;
Daughters volunteers to go—
Jumps into the car;
Comes across her “honey bunch”
And they ride all day;
For three punctures, gas and oil
Father has to pay.
No one walks and no one works,
But everybody £ides,
While behind each fence and post
A bill collector hides.
Folks will argue o’er the price
Of clothes, and meat, and sup,
And question on the gas man’s
word
But holler “Fill 'er up”.
Legs are long since out of date
Save for the ballet,
Stocking advertisements,
Magazine’s display;
Soon like our appendics
They’ll be useless things;
Next* our arms will evolute
Into feathered wings.
Ridin,’ ridin,’ ridin’,
Boy with his nurse;
Old man taking his last ride
In a motor hearse.
Wonder where it all will end—
Leave the guess to you.

And ride an hour or two.—Ex.

0. 0. McIntyre, noted observer
of life in New York, says that “it
is reported the water wagon is
most popular of all gigs along the
White Way. Broadway is sober
ing because it is frightened.”
Here are some of the effects of
the sort of bootleg booze the New
Yorkers have been drinking:
A man under the influence of
it hurled a waiter out of a ninth
story window.,
A musician married a girl
whose name he could not rememb
er the next morning.
A man who had two drinks
drove his car into a plate glass
window in order to hear the crash.
A tipsy policeman entered a
strange house and beat up inno
cent guests.
Some people who go to the thea
ters after having had “^lifters”
topple from their seats in what
seem to be almost epileptic seizur
es.
Men who used to go on a few
days’ spree find the spree lasts
several months and they come to
in a strange jacket with a fully
developed case of the horrors.
Such cases are enough to make
people ponder before taking a
drink of the stuff that is now sold
as liquor.
