If you are weak arid sickly when you grow to manhood and womanhodd, it’s your own fault.” Dr. Barker said that President Roosevelt was one the most powerful man figuratively whoever occupied the presidential chair; that, at 14 years of age ne was an invalid, but constant exercise every morning for 20 inutes gave him at 21 one of the strongegst and most perfect bodies at Harvard University. The lecturer declared that if you would succeed a clear head is nec essary. ‘Learn how to think; good memories do not mean an ability to think through a question.” He told the children that an education meant preparing them for success after school. Dr. Barker emphasized the neces sity of a college education, saying that the boy or girl going through college will eevntually outsrip those who do not have a college edu cation. "A college education is simply sharpening the tools with which you are to work.” He here gave Thomas Huxley’s definition of an education as follows: ‘‘The chief purpose of an education should be to train the mind and the will to do the work you ought to do when you should do it.” The last few minutes oi the lec turer’s address was devoted to an explanation of what is meant by a brave heart, which he said simply meant “your ability to say no when you should say no; if you boys and girls cannot do this, you are cow ards.” In a most tactful way Dr. Bark er warned the boys and girls of the . evils of allowing familiarities among themselves. He said that it was kissing, spooning and petting ; which led to the downfall and wreck- ■ ing of many a high school girl's character. ‘Some of you girls will say that you know just how far to , go and then you will stop; I tell you . you do not know; you are on the I brink of a precipice before you ■ know it. and then it is too late.” ■ The lecturer paid a distinct trib ute to his hearers when he made the statement that while discussing this rather intiate question, there was a smile on the face of only one per- 1 son in his audience. "You have helped me greatly in putting over this part of my message to you,” he said, “for you have listened with the closet attention and not a smile.” Prof. Mathis gave the Americus high school pupils permission to go home immediately after the lecture, provided all over 14 would pledge themselves to hear Dr. Barker eith er in the afternoon or at night. Ev ery pupils gave Prof. Mathis his or her pledge. Nineteen members' of the Ameri cus Rotary club accompanied Dr. , Barker to the high school. Georgia Tech to resume his studies after spending the holidays with his mother, Mrs. George B. Turpin at her home on Church street. Mrs. Joe Hawkins, is the guest of her sister, Mrs. J. D. Hooks at her home on Lee street for several days.

A. ‘ MRS REID AT HER DESK A Spartan figure in the most di!'-1 fieult and the most important war' ever waged by mankind, in which: the forces of science and medicine ■ are linked and the only effective' . barrage is enlightenment of the . masses in regard to its danger, is Mrs. Wallace Reid. Robbed of her husband with two orphaned children to ask her inno-: cent but painful questions about their absent father, who was not , only their idol but the favorite of a million fans, Mrs. Reid became Hie implacable foe of the propaga tors of the vicious habit that is now < obtaining a, deathlike grip on the | flower of American youth. Un-' ’ sparing of her own sensibilities, she! bared every detail of her daily he-! ■ roic struggle at the bedside of her , ' matryr husband, so that the dope i > ring and its agents might experience | the scorching ray of publicity. What effort this immolation on ■ the altar of public service cost her . will never be known. But first hand contact with this menace and 1 its attendant tragic denouncement J in her own home has made of the little stooped figure of grief the shining symbol of a great crusade, and she herself took up the gage of battle, a modern Jeanne d’Arce in . a universal war to save civilization. ' ; So, as a next step in the advance ment of the cause’ to which she bait . dedicated her life, and -braving the possible misconception on part of ■ I the public of her real motive, Mrs. I Aw ■ ■ ; - " y.....--;.'
