That's what the school boys and girls used to chant when they began heir summer vacations. Nowadays they may chant it out of respect to tradi- n, but the emotion that inspired such a verse is gone. For the modern school boy and girl doesn’t thing of teacher as a person h “saucy looks.” The plane of the profession of teaching has been raised a marvelous degree. New educational methods seek to enlist the coopera- lon rather than the fear of the pupil. Punishments are less severe and the ork is made more interesting. School is not such a bad place after al. akespeare’'s boy going “unwillingly to school” is different from the pupil of day, anxious to learn and to play under proper, wise direction. Nevertheless, the children are all happy at the prospect of almost three months of complete freedom. It is the duty of parents to see that their chil- ren derive every ounce of benefit possible from their summer vacations, so iat they may return to school next Fall refreshed in mind and body and dy to do their best. i GENE TUNNEY, AUTHOR From Italy comes the rumor that Gene Tunney, ampion of the world, who has been visiting with the world-famous play- ght, George Bernard Shaw, contemplates entering the literary field. George Bernard Shaw is said to have given Gene Tunney encouragement this new ambition. And so the world is to have a new thrill, seeing a dyed- -the-wool pugilist turn to the gentle art of letters. Of course, a not altogether new thrill. Almost every successful sportsman s written articles on sports, or had such articles written for him by ghost | riters. However, from Tunney we do not expect a story of his experiences | the ring. For Tunney’s menteal make-up is different than that of most pugilists. e typifies the new school of athletes, whose minds are developed as care- ly as their bodies. Tunney reads and understands Shakespeare and Shaw, d has the friendship of such literary artists as Thorton Wilder. Tunney evidently wants to become one of the world’s classics—and if he uld succeed, it will be among the most remarkable phenomena of modern nes, for who would have dreamed that a hand capable of delivering knock- t punches could also be employed in the delicate art of penning master- ces. We have vet to see whether Tunney’s pen is more powerful than his retired heavyweight OVEREATING OR TEMPERANCE IN EATING ; Of all the diabolical traditions to which modern man is enslaved the rnicious habit of overeating undoubtedly tops the lot.

The writer had occasion to go into the Dallas Hardware Company yester- day and had considerable difficulty to locate Charlie (erstwhile Herman) Ellsworth, one of the obliging members of the hardware firm. Charlie was doing considerable hid- ing behind the counter. Upon investi- gation of the cause we found that Charlie had in some mysterious or reckless manner completely eradicated that adornment which has had such a fine resting place on his upper lip. As Charlie knew I was one of the many admirers of his mustachio, he natural- ly felt very timerous about presenting himself before your scribe. en) en Some Hot Weather Up until this writing, Friday morn- ing, we sure have had some hot It has been most noticeable along Main street, where automobile traffic has been very heavy with machines going towards Harvey's Lake, and in most cases filled with bathers. —— Stores Closed Wednesday Afterncons Most of the local stores about town are closed each Wednesday afternoon.
