This question arises chested boy cr girl trying to develop an intellect when they have no physical foundation upon which to build. Nothing on the intellectual side of a child’s life can be developed until the human body is functioning in first ¢ order. There can be no satisfactory progress in scholarship where the physical side of the development of the child is neglected. Bismarck supports one free lance athletic director, a woman physical director, and a general coach or supervisor of field athletics. E ; Good work has been done in producing victorious foot- ball, basketball and track teams, but is the physical welfare of the individual child receiving proper attention? Is participation in physical training systematic and gen- eral with the student body? Are we turning out a few athletes and allowing the physical standard of the individ student to suffer’ ; From observation compulsory physical training in the city schools is not properly emphasized. There should be at; least a half hour devoted to it each day in each erode. The lower grades need it really more than in high school, for with the growing children results can be most easily obtained. a Today many students get absolutely no physical training until reaching the sixth or seventh grades in school. Years ago before highly specialized school programs were in order, in many rooms, a certain portion of every school day was given over to physica? training — and results were beneficial. | Probably less of folk dancing, fewer of the frills and more systematic body building exercises would result in prepar- ing the body for the mental strain of the curriculum. ; . There may be some good reason why more physcial train- ing cannot be given, but the board of education should make a survey of conditions in the schools and see if every teacher in the Bismarck schools could not direct her pupils in body building exercises each day. Let’s see what can be done anyway. Prebably by a proper division of the work among the several persons engaged in teaching every child can receive its share of this much needed physical instruction. EFFECT OF WINE The beer stein is losing out in Germany, wine glass taking its place, according to returned tourists. +.Nations are said to take on the characteristics of the liquors they drink. If the Germans discard beer and become asnation of wine driners it’ll have a decided effect on their national psychology. Beer creates stolid, phlegmatic tem- ment. Wine effervesces the emotions. As for whisky and brandy, they really belong in the category of drugs. THE soe ATTENDANCE AT SHOWS Nearlv 700.000 people a day attend theaters and movies in New York City. An unknown percentage of them is com- posed of visitors from out of town. But the ratio of theater- ; goers to population probably is not much larger than the; average for the whole country. age are a pleasure-loving nation. The movie has taken the place of the corner saloon. It chloroforms our thinking, makes us forget our troubles, in the hours when otherwise we might be solving and eliminating these troubles. Enter- tainment is a form of dope.

In hetby county a field of wheat on the Sandy Brown farm was planted near a large common barberry bush. The part of the field nearest tais bush did not yield over three or four j bushels to the acre, Mr, Brown said, | because of the severe rust infection. Along the bank of the Flat Rock | tiver in another part of the county, four large common barberries were found. These bushes caused an in- j fection in several w fields just j ze the river, A 35-acre field nearest the bushes yielded only 13 bushels to the The field next removed yielded 18 bushels. Other ds, farther away, showed higher ields. Tn Randolph county, not far from Huntsville, considerable rust was noted on a field of wheat. From five to ten rods away two large common | barberry bushes were found. The ‘grain nearest these bushes was heav- | | ily infected and\the kernels badly shriveled. As the distance from the | bush increased the amount of rust decreased until it finally disappeared. Indiana Farmers Guide, ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Roberts Barton “Cuckoo!// * Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE OF THE SECRET DRAWER, | You will remember, dear little marquise, that I told you of hearing Jack over the phone he woula sge someone at seven o'clock. Of course I was all curiosity and some way I had an intuition that it was? Sydney Carton, Sydney Carton, as you know, is Jack's best friend and I have always rather felt that 1 had separated them in some way, for since our wedding, where he was the best man, he has never becn to visit us although he has continually accepted invitations only to break them.
