Secretary Jar- dine, in so far as the federal laws permitted, has urged cooperation and study of market conditions so that a curtailment of this or that crop would make possible profitable production. Professor Boss of the University of Minnesota and President Coulter have joined the Secretary of Agriculture in opposing an increase in the wihieat acreage. It has been disclosed that farmers intended plant- ing 4,000,000 more acres to winter wheat this fall than last. This would mean a ten per cent increase. Farmers as a group are probably the only large producers who pay little or no attention to supply than the need for the sé ice which his immatur muse The hoy of today without a fair education is like the shackled runner in the race of! life.

The clothing, books and | equip- ;ment which are prepared constitute only a small portion of the equip- ment necessary for the child at school Tt is of equal if not of greater im- nce that parents should _re- cognize th ssity for a child's being physically prepared to under- go the change of environment from the home to the classroom, for when this change comes conditions are met which frequently reveal physical de- fects previously unrecognized by par- ents. There are many mothers and fath- ers still who do not realize that a | pupil in poor health will not be able} to cope with his studi Poor health often handicaps a boy or girl in school, retards progress and final- ly causes the pupil to fall behind in his_ work. Even the child himself often does not know the true cause of his back- wardness. He becomes discouraged. It is, therefore, highly important that all parents ‘should ascertain the state of their children's health and take steps to have any physical de- fects corrected. Do not delay until someone else discovers their defects after they have fallen behind in their work. Take your children to the family physician before the school term be- gins and subject them to a complete physical examination. Remember that slight defects oft- en become greater after the child enters school and faults that are not corrected during school age often remain uncorrected during the years of life that follow and may result in deficiency and incompetency in the work which is essential for self-sup- port. : POOR VISION CAUSES PUPIL TO LAG BEHIND One of the most serious causes of failure on the part of the student, is defective vision. Medical inspections have revealed the fact that a large percentage of school children have eye troubles. In many of these cases where the SEPTEMBER 9, 1925 But the Chinese have other weap- ons, more oriental and more effec- tive than any trial by battle. Chine is the one country in the world where non-resistant pacifism really works, : “Let Japanese troops march where they please,” they say, “and set up flags and governments if they will. Why bother to fight them? Why bother to do anything, when we can be more effective nothing? “Japan needs our coal and iron We simply sit still, and do not mi it. by just doing “Japan needs our trade. We sit, and neither buy nor sell. “Japan needs our food. We ent it’ ourselves. “A year, ten years, a thousand years if necessary, we just do noth- ing but raise and eat our own food, as our ancestors did. We could stand that forever. Japan would be paralyzed in a year. We are not afraid.” Japan Must Help China Everybody in Japan, except a few jingoes and militarists, realizes this, Therefore, the issue will not be raised. For the safety of Japan, its rela- tions to China must be constructive and helpful. Sometimes Chinese and Japanese will not agree on what is helpful; sometimes they will distrust each other; sometimes neither will trust the western powers; sometimes the investment of capital, with its stake - in peace and order, will seem inva- sion or exploitation. All these things have happened and are happening between the United States and Mexico, whose inter: are nevertheless bound by the close: ties. They are bound to happen be- tween China and Japan. But in the long run the long truth prevails. And the long truth is that it is to Japan's interest to treat China fair- ly, and that, on the show-down, China is stronger than Japan. FABLES ON HEALTH— POOR HEALTH CAUSE OF MANY SCHOOL FAILURES eye trouble is the retardation in lear ment of proper glasses has per: ted such children to resume their places in the elassroom; all too fre- quently, however, the ‘discovery of defective vision has not been made until the child hag fallen behind in his work. Medical examination prior to the opening of the school term and the discovery of defective vision and its correction will often prevent failure « on the part of the child in his studies and consequent discourage- ment. Good hearing is also a very im- portant asset, Defective hearing: may often follow infectio ases * common among children of - school age, and is a frequent complication ased tonsils and adenoids. Parents should watch their chil- dren and should obsetve how they breathe. Mouth breathing indicates an abnormal condition of the nose and throat. Remember that adenoids and’ ton- sils predispose to infectious diseases and should, therefore, receive im- mediate attention by a competent physician. Adenoids and — diseased is also cause falling behind in basic cause of ng, the adjust- 001 work. CARE OF TEETH IS ESSENTIAL The supervision and correction of the condition of the child's teeth are also of extreme importance. In most of our large cities today + medical investigators make thorough examinations of all public school children at the beginning of the school year. This should be the case in every school in the country. If it'is not the case with the school which your children are about to enter, if no medical in- spection is carried on in that school, you have scarcely done your duty as parents unless you have taken your child to a doctor for a physical examination before the beginning of the new school year. Competent medical inspection of your children at the beginning of the school year is one of the most important prepaidtions which — alt parents should make, The blame for dullness and slow Progress in studies, found among many children in’ schools where medical examination does not form 4 part of the routine procedure, may be judged to rest squarely upon the parents rather than upon the child. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON THE GRANDMOTHER CLOCK Tick Tock and the Twins were very careful about fixing the old banjo clock in the jeweler's window. “I feel simply wonderful,” said the old clock happily. “Won't the clock mender be surprised to find me go- ing, and right to the very dot, too.” _“I shouldn't be surprised,” said the little clock fairy. “Here, Nancy, take the key. Nick, you take the oil-can and I'll take the other things, We must be going.” “There are a lot of clocks in the |,” said the banjo clock. “Not only in houses, but in churches and towers. There’s Big Ben in London, and the famous clock of Strasburg, and—” “Sh!" whispered Tick Tock to the old clock, “I want them to be sur- Pea “Oh, I see,” ticked the clock wise- ly. “Well, good-bye. Come again. My home is to be in Norristown after this. I hear that I have been sold for a great deal of money.” “No doubt,” said Tick Tock. “And it is nothing but right. What can be nicer than a lovely old clock?” “Thank you,” said the clock. jen Teak and Lt ne left the elry store, careful locking tl door after them. * ane. Re “Where do we go now?” asked Nancy. ; “I think we'd better go and fix up an old grandmother ‘clock that I know about,” said Tick Tock, “Grandmother!” laughed the “You mean ‘grandfathey,’ you! We never heard of a grandmother clogk.”. “Then,” said Tick Tock severely, for he didn’t like to be laughed at, “it is high time you were hearing of them. Of course there are grand- mother clocks—plenty of them. They are exactly like grandfather clocks, only not as tall. They have shorter necks, one might say. Their faces and hoods are about the same size. _,Off they went through the dark like three little sprites, and after a while they reached another old house. It was a quaint old house and still quainter inside as the Twins found.. There stood the old grandmother clock just as Tick Tock had said, and beside it a spinning wheel. On the other side stood an old kneading trough for bake-days, as Tick Tock explained. With a heavy board over the top it made a fine table. “An old lady lives here who had these things ‘when she was quite, young,” explained the fairy. “She likes to keep these old things about her.” “Yes, and if you look on the back of my cherry case,” said the ,grand- mother clock, “you will see some tiny brass nails in an uneven row. Every year on her birthday, when Mrs. Gordon was a little girl, her father drove in one tiny nail to show hov much she had grown. But after @ while she was taller than I was, so he had to stop.” The Twins looked, and sure enough there were the heads of several tiny brass nails, , “You are a nice old clock, and we are going to fix you all up,” said 2 y. “Thank you,” ticked the old grand- mother clock gratefully. “I wish you*, could fix old Mrs. Gordon up too. Her rheumatism is so bad.” “I with TS sone fiued| Tock. a open (Copyright, ioe, NE Se ice, Inc.) READ TRIBUNE WANT ADDS, ‘ ( te oie
