She ^was Very young, with a fashi^na ly- emaci ated figure which was the pride of her life. There, was only one drawback—she was slowdy starv ing to death, and he was trying his best to make her eat a bal anced ration. He might as well have saved his breath. To every suggestion she came- back with the same plaint, “I have to watch my fig ure.” Finally, his patience gave out. “If you would eat what % tell you to,”* he growled, “other people would watch it too!”—Wall Street Journal. Professor Ike's Theory Garden Tima Robert Schmidt Now that cgld weather is ap proaching the deciduous trees (oaks, maples, poplars, etc.) are ■beginning to lose their leaves. This often presents a problem for the home owner both in tt>wn and country who wants to have a neat ytir'd or "lawn. The usual procedure is to rake up the leaves and burn them. As deficient , as our garden soils are in organic matter, burn ing leaves is wasteful. It is true, of course, that the leaves must be removed from the lawn-especiallv newly planted grass-or they will smother the grass out; The wise thing to do >is to rake the leaves and make a leaf com post. Pile a nd ret them- so that they can be spread on the garden and incorporated with the soil or used aS a mulch around shrubs. Leaves are difficult to rot if they are just raked up into a pile. The compost pile should be built up in layers about a foot deep. Each layer should be thoroughly wet dewn and a small amount of a fertilizer high in nitrogen sprink led over the leaves-about one cup per 10 square feet of leaf pile surlice. A complete fertilizer such as a 6-8,-g, or 8 8-8 can be jusjed or sulphate of ammonia or nitrate ot soda will be satisfactory. Along with the fertilizer each layer of leaves may be covered with about an inch Of garden soil. The ferti lizer and garden soil serve as rot ting agents-. When the pile of leaves Has Seen Suilt up to the desired height - usually about 5 feet - it is covered with a thin layer of soil and allowed to stand for 8 to 12 months. During this time it must be kept wet The re sult wil be a thoroughly rotted .{.■nasB of leaves which we call leafmold. This is not a fertilizer.like stable manure but is an excellent soil •conditioner and a valuable sup plement to most garden soils. 'Leafmold is usually very acid in reaction & unless you are using it around acid loving plants such as azaleas, lime should be added. On large lawns leaf raking is a tedious chore. For those who can afford it there is available a mac hine which picks up the leaves, grinds them up into fine particles and spreads them back over the grass in a form that will be bene ficial rather than harmful. Prehaps that is the best solution to your .problem._........_— One of the issues raised by Dr. Nathan. M- Pusey, president of Harvard University,- in his ad dress before the Public Education Association on Wednesday is ■“"central to the fufturb of teach ing' in the United States.' It •is. briefly., whether the train ing of a teacher should emphasize , a fruitful knowledge of the sub ject he intends to teach or mas tery of the method he w ill-use in teaching it. __=— At the present time, throughout the United States, there are crip pling restrictions governing the certification of teachers in ele-' mentary and secondary public' schools.

Their preparation has developed their intellectual in terests, increased their store of knowledge, broadened their hori zons. Dr. Pusey thinks, with good reason, that an effort might now be made to remove restrictions which depriye public schools of the services of such desirable can didates. Skill in teaching, as every one knows, can spring from a variety of experiences quite beyond the circumscribed word of technical courses. To be’ a human being is, as Dr. Pusey observes, constantly to be suffering and -h»flictini:edJfeation. Most success.-, ful teachers have sat at the feet of other teachers and developed perhaps uncoonsciously, teaching methods suited to their own needs and abilities. The high standards Of leaching attained . in schools and colleges where no technical Credits are required show whatj learning and imagination can ac complish and technique can not. Teachers should be encouraged, Dr. Pusey believes, “in all their —expedience -to grow aspersons rather than to become education-. al technicians.” with that attrac tive and sensible program mos,t people who are interested in the future Of American education will ^surely sympathize.— av.oiding ulcers The lady had a knowing grim on her face when she handed us the release from the Medical So ciety of North Carolina'. It was. headed '-‘Doctor Tells How To Avoid Ulcers” artd she remarked that it was gtfod reading for the editorial writer with a growing reputation for hypochondria. We liked the admonition to steer clear of emotional upsets; the advice to say no to excessive demands by otherp. We took heart from the suggestion that it is good to sound off wtjeh some body steps on your toes or asks too much of you. We-wanted to throw a hat in the air when it w< suggested that we find antidot* and inadequacy. “Convert the feelings into action or air them i conversation” the please froi the Medical Society suggested Smashing at a golf l,an', beatir a carpet, or entering into cor petitiye shorts and constructs hobbtes- were means suggest* individual “wot off bottled-up feelings.' a A0ts^r^*id*hnirt at the children or wife-bating. Not a word said about fresh a as a means of assuring longevil and freedom from ulcers Just about the time we wei gettujg ready to throw -away a accumulation of pills we bees to wonder if there were any fn, irated husbands among the me ics who were so liberal with a vice on how to avoid ulcers. We re holding on to the pill -—Chatham News. _ Roadside Develops (The final answer to the question of how the highway „ Carolina can be made good-looking as well as safe and be given only by the people who live along the highway^ The State Highway & Public Works bar.a program stop as much as possible of the soil erosion along theliS When it makes the slopes 'along the roadside , lespedeza or grass'on the raw soil, less money is needed, year to clean out ditches and fill up washouts. Less soil’ll from the highway down to your bottomlands and stn' course this same grass and lespedeza that keeps the washing makes the highways look better, too.
