- Stalk Devotees, to tne UptouUdlng and Progrea* oi D jpra. uldlng County. VOL. XXVI. HOME CIRCLE DEPARTMENT T Dallas, Paulding County, Georgia, Thursd^v, August 6, 1908. Number 37 Every member of a com munity, and especially every parent, should take a deep in terest in the public school. It is not enough to pay your school tax without complain ing, or to know that the teach ers are qualified, nor is it even enough to keep your children in school regularly. If you are really if crested in the object as you should be, you ilhoul& visit the school regu larly and persistently. Few people have any idea what an incentive it is to both teacher and scholar to knew that pa rents and outsiders are taking a lively interest in their work. We believe the “little folks’ at school appreciate such in terest more perhaps than the larger ones. Still the effect is not lost on any of them, and we hope every parent will taka' a hint from this and place the public school on their visiting list. Take the sermons you hear home to yourself. If you di vide them and parcel them out to your friends and neigh* bors, and the people in the, pews around you, there won’t be much of the “good seed of the gospel” left to bear fruit for yourself. than to rule an empire. “Wo man’s rights!” Has man any higher or more noble? And when husband and wife see eye to eye and heart to heart, one in the interests of home, they have reached as near per fection as we are allowed to hope for while on earth. Woman's Kingdom. Every woman who takes conscience for her guide has a right to feel that home is pe culiarly woman’s kingdom knowing that all love, all pure thoughts, all religion and gov ernments, if one would have them flourish, must have their roots beneath its alter. Let no wife, who would be loved honored and happy, forget that home duties must ever stand first. No matter what high ambi tious aspiration may have im pressed her before marriage or how high she may be con scious her talents and influ ences are capable of reaching when that solemn vow is ta ken that makes the twain one —for “better or worse”—be fore all else, she must give all the energy and love she pos s’esses to building V a perfect home, and she must never lose sight of this high voca tion. She must be its mis tress, but never its slave. That she has made it immaculate in cleanliness and resplendent in beauty is not enough. She must feed the love and truth which should unitedly govern it. What power or dignity can reach higher? What is the ability to sway large audiences over a home with such skill that husband and children shall rise up and call her blessed? To be the ruling spirit in such a posi tion is a more sacrei honor Poverty is uncomfortable, but nine cases out of ten, the best thing that can happen to young man is to be tossed overboard and compelled to sink or swim for himself. . Be What You Seem. Don’t think because you are fresh from the hands of your tailor and your barber that you will pass for a gen tleman, unless you are one. You might carry the perfum ed roses about you for ages without once being mistaken for a rose. Fine clothes and costly jewelry do not convert rough into a gentleman any more than a stovepipe hat and cigar make a man a mon key. A few smart, well-learn ed quotations from eminent authors will not convey the impression that you are con versant with literature. You are apt to become scotched in the flames you kindle, for your literary companions will soon sound your shallow depths, and your ignorance will ap pear more glaring than be fore. An extensive library does not make a ( lawyer; a sancti- mfnious face a minister, an elaborate sign a doctor, or a pair of wings an angel. The world judges us by what we are, and not by what you seem. It does not accept a few flashes of wit and wisdom as the evidence of superior knowledge. If your mental attainments are not appreci ated by the public, it is a sen sible conclusion to arrive at that you are striving to be something which nature and education have not fitted you for. The world, generally, is quick to acknowledge true merit and genius, and having no grudge against you, per sonally, it will appreciate your efforts if they are at all praiseworthy or meritorious. True excellence in anything is only attained by unremit ting labor. If you would be that which you are not, bend all the energies of heart and brain to the accomplishment of your desire. Whatever place your ambition prompts you to select your field for fu ture labor, however lofty and difficult of access the height may be, fit yourself for it by slow and laborious process of study and toil. Begin at the very bottom round of the lad der, lay the foundation firm ture of future greatness upon nowledge of your all its bearings. In fact, be what you seem, and seem to be nothing but what you are. The Good Housewife. You look at the housewife who has a place for her things and these things in their places, and you find a woman who is systematic in her work; and when she needs anything she can put her hands on it in a moment. She plans and calculates whenever there is to be extra work, extra cook ing, extra washing, elc., and she knows beforehand just Happy Homes. A woman may do her level best to make a happy home for her husband and children but if she is treated as a slave and only given her board and clothing in payment for her services as mother, wife, cook, laundress, nurse girl, cham bermaid and seamstress, is it any wonder that little or no happiness exists in that home? If a mother spoils her son by pampering and waiting on him all the years of his child hood and boyhood, and mak ing him think that a man should always be waited on by women of his household, is it strange that he expects a wife to do the same and that, in all what there is to do, and what likelihood, she either wears she wants to do it with. Her out in a few years such work moves along like clock work, and when the clock strikes twelve she is ready to put the victuals on the table. The men are not hindered— they eat their dinner and get out of the way, and her work goes on according to program, and nobody's time is wasted by her procrastination. She is on time, the glory of her husband, the beloved of her children, the admired of all who know her. And this same woman, so exact in her do- ings, gets more time to rest and read and instruct her children in the paths of right and the social duties they owe to all. Ladies, we hope you are of this class, receiving the blessings of your husband and the praise of all who know you. The oak in the middle of the forest, which is surround ed on every side by trees that shelter and shade it, runs up tall and sickly; ptlt away from it its protectors and the first blast will overturn it But the same tree growing in the open field, where it is con tinually beat upon by the tern pest, becomes its own protec tor. So the man who is com pelled to rely on his own re sources, forms an indepen dence of.character to which he could not otherwise have attained. Therefore prefer rather to climb up hill with difficulties than to roll down with inglorious ease. ser vice, or else becomes bitter and disheartened? There are very many rea sons why a home may not be found a happy one and the happiness found therein de pends fully as much on the husband as it does upon the wife. We are often told that in every true and ideal mar riage both husband and wife must learn to bear and for bear. In every home where hap piness exists there must be perfect trust, confidence and love between the husband and wife. There are two kinds of sun shine in the world, and both quite necessary—the one that is caused by the-v sun’s shin ing outdoors, and the other by its shining in our hearts. Hap py homes abound in the heart sunshine, and, whether it shines without or not, there is naught but brightness within doors. It is the loving deeds, the cherry, helpful words and the kindly thoughtfulness that each member of the family shows toward the others that makes an ideal, happy home a perfect heaven on earth. How many of us do our share in making such a home that shall be a haven of rest to all who may come within its influence. One On the Portly. The French Academy of Sciences has been seriously discussing Jbe question wheth er fat people are prouder or more self-oatisfied than those who have a lean and hungry look. Observe the plump folk you pass in the street, and you will notice how much more confi dently and even aggressively they seem to take their way than those who are lithe and spare. However, the French scients who have been sol emnly considering this liter ally weighty subject have ar rived at the conclusion that the proud carriage or confi dent expression of the corpu lent is nothing to be envied. Rather may their leaner breth ren rejoice that they have it not. The explanation of their appearance is, indeed, a most prosaic one. It is, as the Psalmist says, that “their eyes swell with fatness,” and that their dis tended bodies shorten the throax by drawing up the dia phragm, so that they must perforce “walk proudly.”—Ex Heart Strength , —. or Nervo Urslr, not or. wwk hoort In * hi .. . „ h „ Nun Vo*.
