Mercer count. New Jersey. It ftvea SO ways of how to destroy a aohool and to build a school In parallel columns. Some of the suggestions are excellent; others are of the trade union type that cause many parents to wonder about their children. Let me cite the first two Items in each, column as examples: -TO DESTROY A SCHOOL "(1) Tell parents that Johnny's academic troubles are all caused by the chanted practices forced upon teachers by the new principal. (3i Bute that you don't know why Mary is hartnt auch difficulty In Mr. Smiths class, for yon find Mary to be an extremely capable pupil In your class. TO BUILD A SCHOOL -il) Realise that you belong to an educational team, all members of which are Jolnlnf forces to achiere the same objective. O) Sine the strengths of the school and Its teach ers always. TEAM work Is Important on the athletic field, but in a classroom the fact often is true that experimentation, in the use of techniques which teachers suddenly discover that they and the children are Involved in a lot of pedagogical nonsense. In experimentation, in the use of techniques which make it easier for the administration of the school but result in poor reading or ignorance of spelling handicaps which may last forever. Then a tew years later, some great authority denounces the experiment and it is dropped: meanwhile the child baa lost Important years in gaining facilities. I watched two of my own children. One was taught the alphabet, even as yon and I were, and reads easily. The other started with some bunk about reading whole words. Bo he learned those particular words but could not pronounce new ones. In due course, the school dropped the new method, fired the teacher, and went bark to the normal way of teaching any language as something to be read. I can see no reason why a teacher who dislikes tricky method should not tell about them te parents. Besides, she will anyhow. The second point about Mary being very good In one class and being very bad In another to often the cause of eurprise and conversation. And often It is the fault of a teacher who cannot captivate Mary a mind. Some teachers are dulL Some are not Interested In the subjects they teach but are Just earning a living. In the hope that sooner than later some man will come along and save them from a fate worse than death. Some teachers are inspired, love their work, love their children and do a good Job. To "sing the strengths" of all ot them, even those who would do better selling cosmetics In Wool worth's, is a sad error. A He is never justified and only too quickly proves Itself. SOME points Mr. Robinson makes are excellent He puis under the heading. To Destroy a Bchool," the following items: -i J Keep a whole class ot children after school because you are unable to find the guilty one. -i Ask pupils to copy from the history book a punishment . (S) Olre pupils a tailing mark because ot behavior difficulties." Oenoclde Is a vile crime. Guilt must be Individual I have fought about that one with teachers for years, and have instructed my children always to report to me when a teacher make an enure class guilty for the conduct ot an Individual pupil. I have taught my children that that I Immoral and that the teacher who practices it I a wicked person. They know the word, genocide. Once, when I quarrelled with a teacher about this, he said that it was part of social consciousness, ot the group being responsible for the Individual. I wanted to know whether If I committed murder, the courts would arrange It so that a group would hang with me. He had no answer. He shook his pedagogic head in wonderment. A CHILD should be taught, from Infancy, that the individual I responsible for Individual eon duct. Personal responsibility Is a strengthening, a moral force. Oroup responsibility Is a weakening, a lasy dodge. The teacher who misses this plays no part in the character building ot your child. Doctor Soys Sinus Victims Seeking New Climate Must Look Carefully By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. An inflamed sinus often causes headache, pain in the cheeks and a general run-down feeling. A stuffed or dripping nose is common. It la a miserable affliction. Swelling of the mucous mem brane which tines the sinuses lets pus and mucus secretion gather in side the sinuses and this produces pressure sensations. If the accumu lated pus and mucus can be made to flow out by enlarging the open ing, or can be washed out, at least temporary relief Is often obtained. The injection of drugs which shrink the mucous membrane Is often helpful. This shrinkage may open the passage-ways temporarily and thus enlarge the air space. In spite cf everything some peo ple continue to suffer seriously with sinusitis and become so miserable and run-down that they consider change of climate. Theoretically the best climate for a person with si nusitis Is one In which there Is not much change In temperature be tween night and day. A tempera ture of M to 76 degrees with the air neither too dry nor too moist but a little breeze from time to tun would be ideal We should all love such a perfect climate It we could find it. Climates Vary Para of Florida and southern California are close to this ideal Arizona, although quit different. appears to be good for some sinus sufferers. In most parts of Arisen, however, there is a great deal of fluctuation between day and night temperature and the air is too dry to be good for some pleple. When a sufferer from sinusitis wishes to consider a change ot resi dence it I well to try the new climate tor several weeks or months before making a final deci sion. Certainly the climate ot the northern sections of the United States is not good for sinus suf ferers, but what climate Is best is still a matter of individual trial The Doctor Answers QUESTION: I understand you have a cur for arteriosclerosis. Kindly mall me Instructions as to how to obtain this treatment. ANSWER: If I had a cure for arteriosclerosis. I would be famous Indeed. There is as yet no sure cure for this condition although the symptoms caused by hardening of the arteries can be improved In miy cases by appropriate treatment.

(To the Editor) An Egyptian temple, hous ing ultra - modern equipment and beauty of a modern shrine, has lust been completed in America by the Rosicruclan order AMORC aa a composite of the great temples of Egypt. Dendera and Medlnet msdu. There are no windows, but it has a central court with an architec tural sky and rooted colonnades flanking two sides. The columns of the Inner temple are of the papyrus-reed type with lotus bud caoltals. The wails con. tain exquisite murals in several col ors, designed after those in the Book of the Dead and depicting authen tic scenes of the life, customs and mythology of Ancient Egypt. I am Informed by the secretary of the philosophical order in San Jose, that this window less temple will be used for pursuing advanced twentieth-century studies stemming from 4000 years of continuous traai tlons. The structure itself contains lndlr. ect lighting for the spacious halls, as well as the even temperature ot the ancient pyramids W to 73 de grees farenhelt and the dramatic effects for experiments.

Well, it you're a robust, warm blooded girl, dont overlook Alaska. The odds are In your favor there. "It's a great place for a girl to find a husband." said Maurice T. Johnson, mayor ot Fairbanks, which he says Is the third largest city In Alaska and "the larg est one farthest north." It has 12.000 -people, count ing its farflung suburbs. "There are about three men woman maybe more through out the terri tory said BOYLE Johnson, adding this note of cau tion: "But a rot ot young girls who came up there and saw our rough hewn old miners might feel disap pointed. They might even want to turn around and come back," , -.V PleWy tt- Heat ' However, though the men are as rugged as the scenery, a girl needn't worry about there being: any lack ot heat in the long Alaskan winter. Mayor Johnson and City Clerk E A. Tonseth came to Manhattan to tlx that. They had the chore of signing a M -500 ,006 bond issue to build Fairbanks new munlcipally ovned power plant and water treat ment system. "It was the first revenue bond issue ever floated In Alaska," said the mayor. They had expected to have sore arms and spend two days signing the 4500 bonds each for 11000. But it took them only an hour. "It was amaslngly simple," said Johnson. "They have signing ma chines. You press down on one pen and If other pens sign, too." Good Future The mayor, a lawyer from Wood stock, ru who took his family to Alaska during the last depression, believes the territory has a future for young people with courage to face a nigged life. "It now has a population of only 100.000,- he aald. "But I don't see why It couldn't support 500,000. That would still be less than one person to a square mile. It's a pretty sizeable chunk of ground up there." The can of the Alaskan wild has timed down since the day of Jack London and Robert Service. "We probably use planea more than you do here," said Johnson. "Dog teams, around the dues at least, are Just local color now Qnlet Life The lady that was known as Lou doesnt live there any more. The districts haunted by shady women hsve been broken up at the request of commanders of army alrforce cases. Prospectors are more Inter ested In finding oil then gold. And shades of the faded pastl the mighty game of poker now Is secondary to another pastime, an aiette bingo called paglnl or "pan." "It's a kind of cold weather gin rummy," explained the mayor. "The game Is very popular you can only win or lose a little If you plsy all night." Johnson said Times Square failed to come up to the northern lights In splendor, and opined the climate here didn't equal that of Alaska. "In June we can play baseball at midnight without artificial lights." he remarked. "It never gets dsrk in summer." Escape Winter ' The mayor, before taking off for Fairbanks, expressed relief he had been able to complete his business In New York before winter trapped him here. "I understand you had a 25-lnch snowfall In one day a couple of years ago." he said. "Why. we never had a snow like that up home. Only had 31 Inches all told last year. Don't see how you handle It alL" Elizabeth Joins Prince in Malta VALLETTA, Malta. Nov. 21 OP) Princess Elizabeth was a happy naval officer's wife today. Her hus band's ship was swinging at anchor in tight of her window. Elisabeth Joined Prince Philip here last night arriving In time for at least a part of her wedding anni versary. Her plane had been de layed In London M hours by fog. Philip bounded up the steps to his wife's plane as soon as It landed and welcomed her privately Inside the cabin. Outside she faced photog raphers and greeted Malta's gov ernor Sir Francis Creasy, and Arch bishop OonsL Sir Stafford Crlpps. Britain's aus tere rhanrellur ol Ui exchequer, advises the Church ot England to stay out of politics. Burn, a pronouncement by a cabi net minister would In all events be of great Importance, but It takes on peculiar aimilflcance as coming from Sir Stafford. The chancellor la widely known as a christian who puts his beliefs Into practice seven days a week He Is credited with ap plying his reli gion to his so cialist politics as wall aa to his psraonal life. Evan his polltl e a 1 opponents agree on that. Bo when Sir Stafford take the church to task, folks want to know what's cooking. Well, not only the chancellor but the labor (socialist! party has been greatly worries: lately over speeches by prelates of the Church of England. The political leaders are wondering what part churchmen may play In the next general election which will determine whether the experiment in socialism is to continue. Ksample For example. Dr. Ueoffrry Fish er, archbishop of Canterbury, who Is head of the Church of Entland. recently referred to the coming election as a "gathering shidow." He told the synod of the convoca tion of Canterbury that there was "need for untied effort to overcome our economic plight." Other pre lates have expressed concern over economic conditions. Some political observers have ex pressed belief that the church lead ers may be attempting to bring about a coalition government. The socialists have thumbs down on that. In considering the position of the Church of England It must be noted that It la the established church, that is, a state church. Those mem bers of the house of lords In par liament who are known as the "lords spiritual" are bishops and archbishops of the Church of Eng land. The king himself is "defender of the faith ." Raaaoa Clear It therefore is easy to see why there is a difference of opinion in Britain as to how far the church should become Involved In political matters. It la doubly clear when one recalls that the clergy ot the Churrh of England are. bmadlv I speaking conservative and there fore are not In harmony with so cialism. This statement isn't altered by the fact that occasionally one encoun ters a "liberal" like the Very Rev.

The good dean visited the United States a year ago and reproved us for our aversion to communism. He did a lot of talking here, and later the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Fish er, sharply disowned the sentlmenu I espressed by the dean in America j . i. Qualified? Those who oppose the Churrh of England taking active part In poli tics do ssy thst the clergy are qualified to pana Judgment on events from the spiritual and moral standpoints, and should be allowed to speak in these fields. As the public conscience, assert the oppo sition, they are all right. Of course In years long gone the church took a most active part In government. In the Middle Age the king's chief minister was a cler ic. But we don't have to go back that far to see the Influence of the church In temporal affairs of stale. Specifically, the late archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Oordon Lang, was generally credited with playing a major role In the sbdica lion of King Edward VIII. now duke of Windsor. The archbishop Is said to have been utterly uncompromis ing In the matter of the young king's desire to marry Mrs. Simp son. Difficult Delsln Oh, well, your columnist will let someone else carry the ball from here. The average Briton himself finds It difficult to draw a lint where he thinks the clergy should stop. It would have been Interest ing if Sir Stafford had been more specific in his sdmonltlon.
