^ ESSAYS ^ GOING TO SCHOOL. (Written by Nina Whitlock of the Wesley Chapel School) Some children's object in going to school is to have fun and learn mischief, while others wish to improve their minds and to get the full benefit of the money their parents are so good and willing to 8f)end on them. Some poor little children would be delighted if they had the opportunity of going to school, like a great many children who have that privilege. I think eight or nine is early enough to send children to school, for when they begin studying so soon, they get tired, and care nothing about their books when at the right age. Our school days do not last long, therefore we ought to appreciate them. So few persons during their schooldays realize the great necessity of an education, until it is too late. So many boys and girls while in school will play and have their fun and try to tease their teacher, not thinking how much they ought to appreciate and improve their precious moments, their kind parents have given them, but when the time is gone and they cannot recall those moments, that they have so idly spent, they will say, if I only had my school days to spend again, how much more would I improve them. But, alas they are gone now, never to be recalled. Good and noble boys and girls will never lose a precious moment, when in school, they are always seen with something in their hands, studying, and improving the opportunity that has been given them, you never see them at any mischief, or trying to tease and worry their teacher. Now don't forget how much better it is for us all to improve our time in school. EDUCATION. (Written by Bertha Palmer, of the Wesley Chapel School) Education is the supreme need, and I think we all should strive for it. We must take time, while yet there is time, to make something of ourselves. One educated ambitious man in a community is worth ten sluggish, unprogressive ones. We should take advantage of the opportunities offered by schools and colleges all about us. I think we all can have an education if it is our sincere desire, for if our parents see we are determined io nave n,, mey win manage somenow to give it to us. Many years ago, it was not considered wise to give a girl a college education, but I am glad to say this change has been brought about largely by the girls themselves. I believe every girl as well as the boys should have an education, because if she has, she can be independent and feel superior to material losses. We should endeavor to make rapid progress in our studies every day that we are jn school, but I know it is hard for us to realize the value of our tiirfc while we are vounir and in school. While I am a strong believer in education I also think that one should try to use common sense, be practical, and not despise'the uneducated, for they can be of service to the world and mankind. Without an education, we are unable to speak correctly or read the good books, magazines and other papers which we have. We can get an excellent education by reading. "We must use our heads for something more than hat racks," as Dr. Alexandria puts it. A man must be as much ashamed of being mentally lazy as of being physically lazy. Boys and girls let us all wake up and say we are going to have an education, for if we once secure one it can never be taken from us. SELF-CULTURE. (Written by Fannie Vanderford, Wesley Chapel School.) No one will deny that a large and important part of mental training is furnished by teachers and parents. If the school-master and professor had no hand in forming mind and character, the doors of our schools and academies might as well be shut and nailed up. Books are our teachers, and, the printer's type rules the world. We have two educations, one from others, and another which we give ourselves. It is this last education which determines our standing in society, and our actual condtion in life. It should be the duty of education to make men first, and noble deeds will follow. Every other employer knows the i1 difference between an educated and an uneducated workman. I et two men come soliciting work, one clownish in appearance, ungrammatical in speech, dull in comprehension, because his faculties have never been sharpened, he seems to be little more than a machine. The other is bright, quick, speaks correctly, gives evidence of self-training and capacity. There is sure to come a time when those who have neglected self-culture in early life will see the great mistake they have made, and regret it when perhaps it is too late, although they are conscious of their own defects, their ignorance and sad lack of education, they have not time and op* portunity to apply the remedy. An uncultivated man is like an un cuitivuteu piece oi ground, ne yields rank weeds, he is rocky, sterile and barren. He wants plowing with the plow of knowledge, and fertilizing with education, manners, and culture. Then that man will be a man instead of a machine and yield a harvest of good action and noble deeds that will enrich the world, benefit man and please God. ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF A "CANCER GERM." Our readers may remember the sensational matter which recently appeared regarding Dr. Friedmann's tuberculosis "cure" in the form of a syndicate letter by a newspaper correspondent. The preceding week the newspapers had a similar sensational letter by the same writer concerning an alleged discovery of the cancer germ by a Dr. Odin of Paris. On account of this publicity, The Journal of the American Medical Association publishes this week an extract from a letter from Dr. Edwin Walker, of Evansville, Ind. Dr. alker writes: ". . . One of my chief reasons for stopping in Paris was to investigate the alleged 'cancer cure' of Dr. Gaston Odin, a report of which was published in newspapers throughout the United States. "With a very intelligent interpreter, I went to his address, as given by the directory, 63 Rue Vaman. This is in a cheap quarter of the place and proved to be a very modest apartment house. The janitor informed us that our doctor had just removed to Boulevard des Invalides, and there we found him in ellegant apartments, newly furnished in the most expensive manner. The neighborhood was one of the best. Evidently prosperity was coming from some source. "Presently he entered, smoking a cigaret. He was small, about 5 feet 5 inches, weighed about 120 pounds, and a typical Frenchman, about 46 years old, I should think. He looked well fed and well wined. He was very pleasant and talkative. His story was about as follows: "He had been working alone on the cancer problem for fifteen years and had exhausted all his means. He r?ao Luiiuctkcu wiin iiu nospitai ana had no aid from any one. He had discovered the perm of cancer in the blood and had also found a remedy in a serum which would absolutely cure all cases. "I asked him his methods of finding the germ, but he said he was not prepared to demonstrate it to me as his laboratory was in disorder. "I asked him if he had published anything, and he gave me a short article, merely stating that he had found these germs, but giving nothing of his methods, nor any proof, experimental or otherwise, that the "germs" were really those of cancer. "I then asked him about his serum. This was prepared by a process which he kept secret; he injected it under the skin, not at the site of the cancer. "I asked him then if he was prepared to sell the serum to others. To this hp n Qiuorotl f Vi o f fUn ? ??*w IT V?? VI1M V VIIV/ A' 1CI1UII government would not allow him to sell a serum unless experts would pass on its value as well as its harmlessness. With this he broke out into a denunciation of governments in general and the medical profession in particular, because they interfereC with his freedom in the matter. He was very anxious to know if he cou'd do better in America. He was very villing to consider a proposition to buy the right to use his remedy elsewhere. ****** "I later inquired about Dr. Odin's professional standing and found that he was connected with no haspital, far as I could learn; that he had published nothing and made no demonstration of his discovery. He has never done any work on lines of research or investigation that any one knows. In short, he claims to have made the greatest discovery of the ige, but nothing in his previous work or present evidence supports that claim. "He did not appear to be overjoyed that he had found the greatest >oon to the human race, but he seemed very anxious to make money. "To me there was a very sad side to this interview. He took me into his private office and showed me a large number of letters, most of them MUSIC FESTIVAL.
