pa;t Twer. THE REVIEW: REIDSVILLE. N. C. FRIDAY, JAN. 24, 1913, t 4 AMONG THE 1 PUBLIC SCHOOLS. v THE LOST OPPORTUNITY. (A paper read before the Madi Bon District Teachers Association at Stoneville January 18, which vas prenared by (Miss Annie Bruce Terrj, of the Madison Graded Sehrml faculty.) To my mind the saddest thing on earth is a lost opportunity. The loss of opportunities should be taken more to heart by teachers than ty an v other .people. Let us remember that when we have saved the;' child we cave saveu ute. .-iuiurr.u- is saved. The youth of our land 1 our greatest possession; moulding hem into manhood and womanhood in the Image of Christ should be our est, rareft only relics of paradise. Te world revolves around the child. rne re b pon s i o u i 1 y 1 ' 1 e lernoie xe upcnsibility of what the lives of the. future men and women of our c-iintry shall be, to a great extent, rests upon us. one uay we snau oe called before the bar of (Jod to give an .iccount o the way we used our opportunities and it will be sad if w. - 1. . : I J ' ' - . ! we uue vt usieu uur uut think how much worse it will be to confess that we wasted, to -a great extent, the opportunity lie gave us to train the bodies, minds and souls of the children He entrusted to our care. Some one has said of oppor tunity: ' Master of human destinies am I; Fame, love and fcrtune on my foot steDS wait, Cities and i'ield3 I walk; I pene trate Deserts and seas remote, and pass ' in by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every ' gate. If sleeping wake; feasting, rise ' before I turn away. It Is the hour of fate. And. they who follow rne reach ev ery Btate ' Mortals desire, and conquer every foe . v Save death; but'those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury and woe, ' Seek me Jn vain, and '....uselessly lm--.. Dlore, I answer hot and I return no more." The teacher is in a degree re sponsible for the health of the child. -The foundation of many se rious diseases is laid in the school room. These diseases come ome timrs from neglect , of oxerciss; sometimes from too Long confine ment in one, position; sometimes from breathing bad air. The teacher should not let nothing keep her from seeing that the school is properly ventilated, and in. no way neglect the physical welfare of the child. Think of the many children that have had to wear glasses at the. age of 12 because a teacher gave them a desk and told them to sit there, not noticing that the sunshine glared on their bocks and as a result their eyes were strained for life. Talks on the care of the throat, nose, eyes, ears, skin and teeth should be made frequently. Empha sis should be placed on the impor tance of brushing the teeth and keeping them thoroughly clean, be cause If partjcles of food are allow ed to stay in the mouth they cause the teeth to decay and decayed teeth' Lameness Sloan's Liniment is a quick and reliable remedy for lame ness in horses and other farm animals.

These ferms pass into the stomach and cause ji.va.se. The children should: be mjuired to sit, stand and walk erect. Pos:tie and definite movements of the body help clear thinkiti. , few minutes each day should be' de votej to jihysk-al culture in order to strengthen, the .muscles and teach the child the proper way to breathe. Breathing tie projer '.amount . ot fresh air is sadly nesltct. d ud "Breath is life and the greatest of ail miracles is breath, because life itself vn ly tsists trow one breath to another. He who only half breathes half livee," Tl Greeks realized that physical health ind mental development went hand in hand and the first two years of the cnuu s me were spent almost com pletely developing, that moBt won derful of all machines, the human Doay. Kemember that without nh v. sicai training mental development cannot reach its highest standard. vve as teachers are eJtnected to train the mind more than any other side ef the child's life. Aimless teaching is wasteful teaching. And wastefulness is a grave wrong. Like theft, every half hour squandered is a bundle. of precious opportunities thrown away. The school day. is short. Only about four hours are given to direct instruction. Waste is worse than thftft whereby fiches are transferred from one person to another. Waste robs the world Df substance. It leaves mankind poorer than he would have been otherwise. Opportunity flies wifli the moment that gave it birth. The teacher la tjhe steward of the educational op portunity of his pupils. We ougM to count every minute and make every minute count. There la much to be done. Every person carries Milhin the key that unlocks either door of success or failure. Which s(hall It be? A teacher who enters upon the day's duties wiuhf ut a plan ts like the captain of a ship w!k travels without c.harts.trii8ting to experience and luck to carry him to his destina tion which ends In a failure. For example, in our county is a teacher who as hiph as the fourth grade gives the child no training In arith metic, spelling, English, geography and hygiene, but allows it to drag through four reading lessons a day. The main purpose of an education Is to strengthen the mind rather than to load It. Reading is the most important branch taught In the lower grades, but the child s educa tion Willi be deformed if his mind is only developed in this one subject. As a result of such teachdng his next teadher cays, "0, that from such a dunce I might be spared; They send them up to me so un prepared. The pupils of a teacher who ia sat Isfied With w(hat she knows must suffer, for how can she awaken, a thirst for knowledge in others when she herself no longer thirsts? In the training of tho mind the part that mcst teachers neglect is teaching the child how to study This point should be brought out In the as signment of the next day's work. How can this be done by a teacher that performs social duties,, cuch as going to a dance, playing carda. entertaining a friend or spending the night out, and goes Jnto the school room not knowing wbat she is gnling to give for the njext day's leFson? If you are teaching Lhe same gTade this year you taught last and do not study the work be fore you assign it, but depend upon last year's knowledge to carry you through, your work In the training of the child's mind will be a fail ure. You cannot take a child to the heart cf a . lesson if you have not been there yourself. Some one has said that "A child may almost b said to be educated, who has learned to study aright." :--r- Let us remember, there Is no stand still training the child's mind; we either take them forward, or they go backward. Many excuse, poor, slip shod work on the plea of lack f time. But in the ordinary situation of 'life there is plenty of time to do every tlmng as it ought . to be done; For the maiti growth of our lives, we must be steadily patient, conten to aim in tlie truo direction day by day, hour by hour, minute by min ute. If we fall, we must pick our selves up and go rifcht on, not stop to bo discouraged for one instant, but remember that a fall cornea some times Just before a great victory. We come at last to the greatest of all trainingthat of building char aeter In the hearts of the men and women of tomorrow. Working on human hearts and destinies is to do imperishable work, to build within life's fleeting hours monuments that shall 1 ant forever. If such grand opport iiii 1tiea:li e wj t h i n ou r rear: h ,' bow important it. is that we live for l.he grandest for that which will be phasing in the sight of God every minute of our existence. Let im not l.-e a single opportunity to do God's work, In training the hearts of His children. He hns tald, "As a man tlilukcth in his heart so Is he." How Important it Is for us to give them the, right though te. Yesterday was ours', )ut it is gone; today !a all 'e pcsKes, for tomorrow we may never see; therefore, n the fjolden hour of the present the seeds are planted whereby the harvest for good or evil is to be 'reaped. One day's work left undone causes ft break in the great , chain that years may not be 1 able to repair. ' ' ', . It Is a great mission that we fire sent to fulfill. Life la a real and earnest thing and we should never fall to train the soul, for "What does it profit a wan If he gain the whole world and kae his own mnVr ' .''.: ' 'To develop a true, pure Christian life In yourself or some one else ia the gretfet and best thing finder the. heavens.

That may aeem so unlikely to you that you do not even hope for art : ending of your trouble, , but per mit us to assure you that it Is no altogether impossible. If others can be cured permanently, and thou sands have been, why no you? John R. Barker, of Battle Creek, Mich., le one of them. He says: "I was trou blod with heartburn, inriigesticn, am liver complaint until I used Chan berlain's .Tablets, then, niy trouble wa over." Sold by Gardner. Bread Tranchoirt. There is no city in the world where so much bread is consumed as in Par la. ' It is estimated that every inhab itant eats one pound a day on the average. Even in past centuries the French, especially Parisians, had a horror of stale bread. Aud as In those days people manufactured their own bread they had a curious way of milk ing it palatable. Strange as it muy seem, the bread prepared, huge rouud or square slabs, was used as a dish, on which the meat was carved and bore tho name of "trancliolrs," or "tailloirs." The Juice of the meat hav ing penetrated Into the bread impnrted a pleasant taste and prevented it from becoming dry. Baker's Weekly. BAD BREATH Is caused by Indigestion, and that disorder brings on headaches, sallotvness, languor,; dizziness and a general discouraged feeling.
