London, Oct 3. (Correspond-
ence .of Associated Press.) Britain
mast choose between strict govern
ment control of the liquor traffic or
. absolute prohibition, in the opinion
of Lord D'Abernon, chairman of
the Liquor Control board.
"If the question is considered
boardly there are only two policies,
control or prohibition," said Lord
, D'Abernon. "Reversion to the old
pre-war conditions would mean
drunkenness, inefficiency, ill heaUh.
"disease and the misery which has
notoriusly resulted from drunken
habits in the past.
"I believe that control Is possible.
" The experience of the war shows
that temperance and efficiency can
be obtained by regulation. I be
lieve th liquor trade is susceptible
to reform. Recent declarations by
leaders in the trade, appear to me
to warrant the belief that the new
school in the brewing trade is gain
ing a hearing, and that they have
realized that the old methods of the
anti-reform whole-hog indulgence
advocates are no longer suitable to
modern conditions. The same
change is in evidence among li
censed victuallers. I get many let
ters frou them urging that there be
,no return to the old hours, during
which their work lasted, 17 hours
instead of six daily and when the
conditions for public house servants
were a scandal."

. How would you like to be a school
teacher? Not the comic supplement
school inarm with scant hair and
spectacles, plying her ferrule, . nor
she who teaches school by bringing
the class in percentage to the end of
page 45 on th middle day or the
month, and sends a note to the prin
cipal telling, of this accomplishment,
but a real live school teacher, a wide
awake woman young or old who
teaches nine or 10 subjects to nearly
half a hundred eager young indi
viduals, whether their eagerness be
a thirst for knowledge or for mis-
ehiel.
The school teacher who dips into
the possibilities of her work and
realizes the dimensions of its op
portunities is a very luckyindividual
indeed, for to her comes the widest
range of little intimacies with grow
ing humanity, 'and the strongest in-
fluence on the personalities strug
gling to evolve themselves, that any
person is privileged to experience.
She may teach a little girl the gos
pel of clean teeth and -finger nails
and she may show a little bay how
to make a relief map of the United
States with salt and water; she may
even have to sew' a button on his
shirt or mend a three-cornered tear
if she shakes him a bit too hard out
on the playground. But if she is the
sort ot a teacnerwno does inese
things with exactly the same zest
with which she listens to the spell
ing lession or dismisses the class,
she will be beloved of many young-'
sters.
Seventh Grade Interesting.
The women who has the greatest
responsibilities and privileges as a
school teacher is the grammar school
teacher, perhaps the one in the sixth
or seventh grade, getting her pupils
ready for the junior high, trying to
pilot them through the uncertain
days of their adolescence with the
least discomfort and embarrassment
to themselves and their comrades.
Teachers above and below her have
fewer subjects to teach and less try
ing pupils to teach them to, for in
the lower grades children are not
yet personalities, and by high school
time rhev are more settled and less
obstreperous. High school boys are
not apt to get a grouch and sulk for
three clays at a time, nor require a
shaking which will loosen the but
tons on their shirts, but likewise are
they jss interesting, asserts : the
teache-of younger boys who some
times has to apply vigorous methods.
And it it always her boys the
teacher tells you about first, hr
boys in whom she is the most inter
ested. When you ask her why, she
gives you many reasons. Some say
that boys are fairer, some that they
-ire easier to handle, while many of
the oiler teacher! admit that it is
mostly sex attraction. But what
ever the reason, their exists between
a teacher and her "boys a sense of
comradeship, which is rarer where
her girls are concerned. However,
both boys and girls vie with each
other in bringing her flowers and
paying her other little attentions
until sometimes,; "teacher" has to
bring a bunch of flowers to school
for herself, to avoid the little ill
feelings which might arise from put
ting Susie's daisies on the corner of
her desk and Robert's wild roses on
the window sill.
Must Teach Everything. -'You
have to know everything to
teach school in (he grades nowa
days," said a- sixth grade teacher
th other day and it is literally true.
She teaches English in the form of
reading, spelling, composition and
writing, to the sons ot Italy, and
countries further East as well as to
sons of New England. She holds
.classes in geography or history and
then teaches them the beginning of
scjence. But her duties do not end
with the printed page, for she must
teach them to draw and to sing, the
latter being especially difficult when
a half dozen of the boys in the
room, possess voices wavering be
tween soprano and bass, voices
which any throat specialists will as
sure you should never be used for
1 1 111 t "
"7""" 'ffr' ' -""
J?4
singing. And after she has instruct
ed her 40-odd charges' in all these
accomplishments, the teacher must
instruct them in the art of gymnas
tics, leading them out one morning
a week for a miniature field day, or
a round of group games.
How She Teaches "Science."
Teachers are guided in their work
by syllabi of the different courses,
thoroughly and comprehensively
prepared by the heads of the differ
ent departments of the schools or
by men and women among the prin
cipals who have made themselves
especially proficient in one subject
But in their science and practical
courses they teach from several text
books at once, preparing the subject
for presentation to the children in
their own minds.
This spring the elementary science
course in the sixth grades of the city
goes under the general name of gar
dening, but it includes a great deal
of botany, the essentials of garden
ing, on a large or small scale, a bit
of biology and the beginning of
chemistry. Diminutive tomato plants
of various ages bedeck the window
sills and in one room there is a row
of 'tiny pots filled with buckwheat,
on which three different kinds of
fertilizer have been used, and a
fourth, which is a combination of
the other three. " The children also
have nlots of around outside the
school buildings for practical gar
dening. Next fall' in the seventh
grade they will study the plants
which they started this spring, from
r the viewpoint of utility.
Little Fun in School
Teachers nowadays encourage
their pupils in the keeping of note
books and in watching magazines
and newspapers for clippings akin to
' what they are studying. They (at
, least some of them) encourage the
children's social tendencies by giv
. ing them a 20-minute period once a
' week or once in two weeks, in which
they may entertain her and one an-
other in the way they like best,
whether it be charades, recitations,
conundrums or even sleight-of-hand
performances, if one of their num
ber happens to be particularly gift-
ed. ' In a word, teaching which used
to be a most formal process has now
become very informal, so informal,
and consequently enjoyable, that the
average modern youngster is wrap
ped up in "school."
But while it might seem an easier
task to carry a room full of young
people through the five hours of a
school day where there is less strict
rule and regulation, it probably
in the olden days of 'readin,' ritin'
takes more will power and influence
to make the day run smoothly than
in -the older days of "readin," ritin'
and 'rithmetic."
How It Feels to Face Class.
The sensations experienced by dif
ferent teachers as they face a room
full of faces vary as widely as do
the personalities of the teachers
themselves. Some women, particu-

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region

acid which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter it from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed

is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys, also to neutralize acids
in, the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a tfife saver for regu
lar meat eaters. It is inexpensive,

ful effervescent lithia water drink, i
larly the younger ones, feel as if
they were holding a team of horses
which must be keot under check
and rein lest commotion or cause for
laughter in the room results in a
runaway. But that feeling wears
away with experience. A capable
but comparatively young teacher
said the other day: "Many times you
really don't expect that what you
are about to say is going to 'go' and
you are surprised at the smoothness
wiui wnicn your commands are
obeyed." .However, that easy and
flexible manner of facing a class
and laughing with them, while bring
ing them to order, is an accomplish-,
ment attained only as a result of
years of teaching, say those who
know.' " ' " ,
Certain it is, that the conscious
will power and force of personality
are more strongly developed in
school teachers than in other wom
en, for where the mother of a family
thinks her three children will drive
her distracted, the teacher to whom
she sends them for the most active
of their waking hours, has 40 more
just like them to manage. But a
school teacher who loves truly her
work and .is devoting all of her
mind to it, faces her room full of
faces new in the Tall and fresh every
morning with a certain sense of
expectancy of the clash and inter
change of personalities to follow.
About Parents.
One matter in which teachers diffei
widely is that of parents. Some
women who are apparently success
ful and popular teachers, think that
the parents 'of their boys and girls
are mind and prejudiced and feel
that the parents blame them for the
children's shortcomings and failures,
while other teachers assert strongly
that one of the most delightful
things about teaching school is your
relations with the mothers and fath
ers. "Every mother is fair enough
to see that there must be something
wrong with the child who does not
measure up to the standards of the
teacher, even though she cannot see
the weakness herself said one
teacher who also declared that "Any
teacher who does not establish sym
pathetic relations with the parents,
is either all worn out, or gone stale
in teaching or else she is. teaching
school merely to earn a living."
"A maneuver employed by teachers
which seems to have successful re
sults is that of sending for the
mother of a boy or girl who is prov
ing refractory or doing poor work
and talking the matter over. Moth
ers' clubs prove a splendid Oppor
tunity for teacher and parent to be
come acquainted. "But after all, you
can learn more of the family history
from the child himself in five min
utes than you could any other way,"
said one sixth-grade teacher, "they
like to tell you just what is going
on at home as they see it, and what
they did over Sunday, but we have
to shut them off often, 'because if
we listened to it all there would be
no time for school."
.. - Does She Talk Shop?
The more a school teacher studies
that she may present facts attrac
lively to her children, the more she
is eager to know, so that further
study v through correspondence
courses, summer school work and
university extension classes is com
mon, narticularlv anions teachers.
And the' school teacher who loves
her work rarely has any life except
that of the schoolroom and its sur
roundings. Even if she foregoes
talking shoo outside, she is interest
ed mainly in learning more, always
to know more being her ambition.
"A school t teacher knows too
much," was the statement made by
one of them the other day. "She is
so well versed in practical knowl-
cdee of eycry kind and the ways and
wherefores of things that she simply
cannot take any pleasure in the
company of a perfectly nice book
keeper or stenographer who is get
ting half as much again salary as
she is, but who knows nothing about
what is goinsr on outside the city
and who would run a mile from a
book of essays.
Although the lines drawn by con
vention today about the goings and
comings, of the school marm are
far less strict'than they were some
years ago, still -she nas to tninic
twice or three times betore she goes
to a dance or does anything out of
the customary routine of her life,
until in the end she loses the desire.
But after all. why should any wo
man cine for the ordinary forms of
amusement, when she has a class of
children to watch and guide, who
will dramatize "Robinson Crusoe,"
and picture that well known hero
standing on the crest of the island
alone while he surveys the horizon
and remarks in blase tone's, "Oh,
dear, I have been on the island for
23 years without seeing any sav
ages, !ut perhaps I haven t iookcq
around enough. I will look again."

less little incidents full of humor
and interest which come up in every
day's work, the delightful flavor
which comes from daily contact with
human minds and souls in their
greatest growing period. Teachers
who love their profession and stick
to it through the years, are the ablest
exponents in our modern life of the
cherished tradition of "plain living
and high thinking," And they are
satisfied to remain just teachers, like
