who think pedagogy an indoor racket

the vHt a* :on activities of Hurry
French, In mo of tht* commercial department
< i tht- Meriden, Conn., high
school.
"Mr. I-tench of tlu? hi><h school,"
has been <J i&co vered in unacadc rnic
0 Vf i h I la, under not long heavier tlian
the burdens of knowledge curved over
the tnde of un automobile the hands
that had former.y done nothing more
mental than shuffling examination
jiajMih now wet and grimy with the
tasks of washing cum,
A flood of criticism from properminded
ladies of the aohool board waa
let loose when French took the job,
but lie ia .stilT triumphunt. Those
who hold the laundering of nutos by
tea. flora to be an illustration of the
"t on h theoiy of conspicuous wuHte"
find themselves ohaatened in spirit by
th? more public opinion which auya
air, r.onest work done by any one,
howovor unfitted for it must l>e somehow
good.
Mrs. Eleanor -Cialatz of the school
board waa misquoted us saying:
"The position (not Job) of carawobber
in u garage is unsuited to
the dignity of an instructor of Meriden,
Conn., school children."
"If Mr. French wants to work in
a garage I shouldn't care," Mrs.
Cialatz %aid she said.
"It's a fine thing for any man to
wunt to work and do honest labor
of any kind. If he wants to work in
a garage that's his own business. I
don't want to discuss it. Already the
newspapers have misrepresented me
and made me say things I didn't know
1 said.
"Mr. French is a fine man and a
good teacher. I have told him I think
it is all right for him to work in a
garage if he wants to, and he knows
that I appreciate the true dignity of
honest labor."
Superintendent Benjamin Kretzman
of the board of education defended
French with a few firm words on the
dignity of labor"?meaning car-washing
and not school teaching.
Several incipient critics of the
French plan for spending a vacation
admit themselves of a different
mind "since it ha* been explained to
me. Telephone cuIIb, letters and
telegrams from friends arid strangers
have come in wishing him luck. One
from a friend in Swampscot, Mass..
a Hurvard graduate and also a teacher,
rend: "More power to you. I'm
peddling milk."
I m not paying much attention
to all this," French said. "There has
been considerable discussion ever since
1 took the j<Vb at the garage. They
tell me some members of the school
board don't think it dignified for a
teacher to wash automobiles. I think
. it's n darn good way to pass the summer-pleasant
and profitable.
"Why shouldn't 1 wash cars if 1
want tn ' It s honest work and makes
me no less valuable as a teacher. As
a matter of fact I think washing cars
all summer may make me ii better
teacher. I'll go back to the classroom
with a fresh mind. It's a sort
of relaxation to do something manual
after working all the year with one's
head.
"VVl'f'ii you come right down to it
I can see no loss of dignity in manual
work. I worked my way through college
and enjoyed it. I had nothing
planned for this summer and when
this opportunity came along 1 took it.
I m glad 1 did. I like it. It's good
clean work."
A Hint for the Hostess
It is a nice courtesy to keep on the
pantry shelf a smell supply of decofloit
ized coffee or a cereal beverage
for guests who do not use stimulating
drinks. -Jhe personal thought
pleases them immensely, and adds
much to their enjoyment of the meal.
How Atx>ut Your Earnings?
There was never a time when the
old-fashioned virtues of thrift and
frugality count fur so much a? at
present. This is due to the high
; standard of living generally adopted,
which exacts a heavy, steady outlay
of money, and there is the ever ready
temptation to go into debt. The
world has made up its mind t. i ale
J ttul the busy-bodies have switched
i their system and now gauge a man's
fina:.cial standing by what kind of
car he owns and operates. ThiR fellow
! without a car is beyond the pa'e of
the local Bradstrect or Idun. And yet
the answer to the puzzle, how to get
! ahead is the same as ever in the generations
when there were no motor
cars, or modern conveniences and
S luxuries which are now regarded a%
E necessities. It is the application of
f thrift and judgment with respect to
n your earnings or income. So many
K men and women go through life withK
out ever learning the apparently obJ
vious lesson that "you can't cat your
a cake and have it too." On every
r hand there i< oppoitunity to save,

M y baby is my boss. She keeps me j
busy every minute 1 am within sight
of her. She tells me what to do and
1 do it i crawl like a cat ami I jump
like ? rabbit ami 1 bark like a dog
and gnmt like a pig ail in the
same jitfy. I have told more Bre'r
Babbit stories during the past two
weekr- than Uncle Kemus ever heard
of. 1 make 'em as 1 go. . . . and she
always flatters me by listening to
t lie m.
Thai baby of mine can think of
more hingh for me to do than a centipede
has toes. She likes to see me
nang my clothes up where they will
fall. She insists that 1 keep going
through t.'.e wrong door. She enjoys
wearing my hat and scraping my ball
head v. t >i a stiff hair brush. She
makes me recite and say speeches
arid g>>o-goo and Chili Con Carrie and
hooichy - kootchy and shimmie and
black bottom while the table is being
set for supper.
She keeps me racking around the
room like a colt. She makes me chew
like "mamma." She Bticks me with a
pin and gets mad because I jump.
She wants to wear my specks and I
generally let her wear em. She makes
me shave her before I shave myself.
She cries to lather my face, ami I
don't mind it if she wouldn't lather
my eyes and nose in the undertaking.
She pulls off her shoes and stock*
ings for no other reason than to see
me put them back on her, and that's
a woman's job. She makes me swallow
like a horse and cackle like a him,
and then wants to know if a horse
lays eggs. She wants me to tell her
how fish get their breath under the
water and why a lightning bugs backend
won't burn if its fire.
She makes me watch her wink, but
she winks both eyes at every wink.
She tells me to gather up her toys,
and after I've done so, she whirlwinds
them around the room again.
She likes to see me pick 'em up. She
enjoys riding on my neck and dropping
things down my back. She
drives the car and doesn't look where
she's going. She toots the horn when
there's nothing but snow birds to toot
at.
But she's my little partner and
there never lived such a loyal partner.
She loves her daddy, and can't
see his faults. She thinks everything
he does is all right. She believes in
him and knows that no other little
girl in all the world has such a wonderful
daddy.
I feel sorry for families that are
without children. They don't know
any more a'bout the Volstead Act.
I wouldn't give one hour's time witn
my "little boss" for a whole summer
with a bunch of so-called pleasure
seekers.
(N. B. This piece was written because
this precious "little boss" came
and put her arms around me just now
and said?"Daddy, wite me up and
wead it to me.")
Advice to Car Drivers
1. When you have to repair a tire
in the road, always leave 4 or 5 hig
, rocks where other drivers will be
t more than likely to run into them and
bust iin a few casings.
2. In negotiating blind curves.'
be sure to drive on the wrong side of
the road so's the fellow who happens
to be meeting you can get a face- toface
l(?>k at an idiot. This will help
him considerably?as he might not
have time to go to an asylum to see
an idiot.
3. \\ hen a wagon or an ox team
or something has the way blocked 6
or 8 cars ahead of you, always blow
your horn vigoriously so's everybody
will know you are a fool. Some folks
are fools that look fairly sensible, and
more than likely?this will tit your
case.
4. While making repairs on vouenr,
never pull out on the side of* the
road, but leave your car so placed that
when you are stooping over that your
tail will protrude toward the center
of the road, and in case somebody
passes and strikes you a glancing
blow, you can sue him for punitive,
if not actual damages.
5. Make it -a rule to pass other
cars going over a hill. By following
this plan, you might have the pleasure
of running head-on into some other
sap-head that will possibly be
passing a car on the other side of
the hill.
C). Always turn your steering
wheel loose while lighting u cigarette.
I ndertakers and torrVbstone agents
make their living off of boneheads
that do this, and you know they're
got to live somehow-or-nuther.
7. If the roads are very slick,
don't forget to slap on your brakes
when you decide to stop suddenly.
This practice will insure you against
living to a ripe old nge, and in most
cases?-you can throw your back-end
into a telegraph pole, or other obst
ruction.
8. Drive fast all the time. Don't
ct no train beat you across a crossing.
Don't toot your bun at a
pi iestrian ;.l you get rignt on him
and watch him jump. Where n porm>
can't pass you on account of par ?
u roads, drive slow, and keep him
v..i<i That's all.

Dr. Hammond of Florjj Macdouaid
College Hospital
( oluurbia. July 30.?Dr. H C. Hammond,
acting president of Flora Mac
doriald college of Ked Springs, N. C.,
missing" since July 1 was found
yesterday at the Baptist hospital,
when- he is * patient. He is suffering
Uum a partly paralyzed left arm,
left leg and left side. His condition,
according to his physician, is not
aerious and he will recover,
I-.,i three days Doctor Hammond
lay pai alyz< d.and helplesa at his room
at the Jefferson hotel,' a -cording to
infoi .'nation gathered last night. He
left his home in Ked Springs July 17
and the records at the Jefferson hotel
show that he registered there that
night. He had an engagement at
Graham, N. < , the next day with
J Harvey White, chairman of the
board of trustees of the college, and
on the following Sunday was to have
preached at the Presbyterian church
in Red Springs,
When he failed to put in an appearance
for the services last Sunday
hi;- friends became alarmed and started
a search for him. The search was
not made known, however, until last
Friday night.
John D. .VlcLeod, business manager
of the college; J. A. Graham, Red
Springs merchant; Dr. D. L. McRae,
mayor of Ked Springs; the Rev. J.
B. Black, pastor of the church Doctor]
Hammond was to have preached in'
last Sunday, and Z. V. McMillan came
to Columbia, tracing down a rumor
that the missing educator was in this
Section. They searched the hospitals
and found him.
Doctor Hammond, according to the
Btory unfolded yesterday, apparently
was stricken while in bed during the
night of July 17. He attempted to
arise Wednesday, morning, July 18,
and fell to the floor. He rolled under
the bed and every effort, he said, appeared
to get him farther under the
bod instead of toward the door.
The employes thought nothing of
the failure of the guest to appear
about the lobbies, as many guests
keep their keys and go and come without
being noticed. Finally, however,
the housekeeper reported to the hotel
manager that the guest in this particular
room had not been seen and
that she could not enter the room.
The door was opened and Doctor
Hammond was found and taken to the
hospital July 21.
His physician, Dr. P. E. Payne,
said last night that Doctor Hammond
when first brought to hospital said
he was from Atlanta and that he had
no immediate relatives. Asked if
other relatives should be notified, he
toid the physician that unless he became
materially worse he felt this
was not necessary.
The physician said he had b*>en out
of Columbia over yesterday and had
not seen newspaper dispatches telling
that Doctor Hammond was missing.
As soon as he learned that his patient
had been the subject of a wide search,
he called the Associated Press and
gave what details he had.
The Red Springs party last night
checked all angles of the case. They
found Doctor Hammond's car in a
garage where he had left it and immediately
notified Mrs. A.H. Ruth, a
sister of Doctor Hammond, and his
brotherin-law, George C. Rogers of
Atlanta. Doctor Hammond is 55
years old.
Pete Leventis, of Gagtonia, is sec*
retary, and Andrew Trakag, of the
game place, ig treasurer of a Greek
society which will soon open on the
side of Crowders mountain a 40-acre
park and picnic grounds for religious
assemblies and other organizations.
The name of the society ig Adelphotis
Arahoviton Kariya, and it has
over 500 members scattered all ovtfr
