A WORD FITLY SPOKEN This has been Better Speech Week.

How many girls have tried to better, their speech?

To throw away that |>et slang phrase? To stop saying "ain't" when "isn't" should he used. To stop running words together and saying "whatcher-doin?"'instead of "what are you doing?" and to better all those numerous things that are bad speech?

Good Speech Starts From Within. I,ike good government, which "rests upon the consent to be governed," the fust requirement for better speech is the individual's desire for such improvement.

Eternal vigilance is the price for Better Speech. Good Speech is Vital Speech!

Did you ever think of words as the clothes for

your thoughts?

Someone has said,

■'The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be happy as kings."

Most of us miss a great deal of the fun because we do iKit see the many attractive things in our everyday hie If we would only let them, our

eyes and ear- would bring many interesting and new things to our brains. Then comes the pleasure of finding words to express these ideas. Often we do not ha\e the proper word or words at hand and so every thing is lost. Iii other words. we do not clothe our thoughts Stylishly or even

do you use to express the noise it makes when you stroke it's back? when it is hungry? when it is hurt? when it is angry? when it is in a hard fight ?

Did you ever -top to think of the different words that express the way we girls get to the dining room for breakfast every morning? We are in a hurry but that is just one word among many to express the same idea.

A prominent man was once called upon to make an address to a large audience of educated people. In his address he mispronounced a common word. He afterwards learned of his error and felt very badly about it. In speaking of his mistake lo a friend, he said. "If only 1 had learned to pronounce that word when I was in school, I would never have made that error."

Have you ever looked into a carpenter's toolchest and noticed how many different tools he has? With some of these, such as hammers and saws, you are familiar; but of the others you do not know either the name or the use. Each of these strange tools has some particular purjKise.

With them the carpenter can do his work more easily, more quickly, more accurately.

Words may be called the tools with which we shape our thoughts. Many people are satisfied with a few such tooL and do crude, rough work; hut the good workman in words has a large kit of them and chooses to work with those that will help build strong, clear-cut. accurate sentences.

Are you the crude or the careful workman of words ?

We are told in the Bible that. "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."

A study has been carefully made of the physical condition and progress of large groups of school children, which reveals the startling fact that thirty per cent of the pupils are under nourished and are not making normal progress in their school work.

THE GIFTED SCHOLAR IS FAVORED BY EDUCATORS

Boydton, Virginia.

Dear Elizabeth, In pa-t years, full BCOpe has not been given to the gifted scholar. A- a result, many brilliant students have become discouraged ;md have not become leaders as they Otherwise might have.

This fact has now been brought to the attention of educators and a meeting was recently held at [ohm Hopkins University at which the chief subject under discussion was "'How Best to Give Full Scope to the Gifted Scholar." The presiding officer, president of Leland Stanford University, opened the program with some results of his own observation.

Several other prominent educators spike on different phases of the subject and the meeting was prolonged until a late hour.

It is very interesting to note the physical condition of gifted pupils. It has been found that those Who make their grades easily are the larger and heavier children, with some exceptions, of course. The majority of those below the average weight for height and age have been found to be deficient in their studies and progress Children are under weight because they are under nourished for lack of proper food or proper habits of eating, or because of actual physical defects. Very frequently the two causes go together, the one dependent on the other. The subject furnishes one of the most Interesting phases of preventive medicine.

During the past five years, the subject 01 nutrition has been enlisting the attention of the most able laboratory and clinical workers and many experiments have been made which bring out very clearly the fact that a pupil's mental

power is seriously affected by his physical con dition. We WOUld probably have many more gifted pupils if their health was properly looked after. Dr. VY. A. Meeker, state registrar of vital statistics, says that he has seen pupils who could never get past the primary grades, rapidly pass from gradf to grade after being cured from some disease, such as adenoids.

Many children come from families where the standard of living is below par and they are still
