BOWMANViLLE, DEC. 6th, i92,3.ý THE EDITOR TALKS. Rev. Frank Langford, B. A., in his fine address Sunday morning at the 'recent Boays' Confereno-, aaid referring ta enthusiaýsm as. requisite ta success that teachers mnust be en- thusiastic about the subjects they teach for scholars will be interested in the things about which they are enthusiastie. Enthusiasm ia the main- spring of a boy's success. B. C. Foirbes says enthusiasm is the parent of enterprise. Shakespear wrote: No profit grows where is no pleasure taken. Anlother w\riter saiys: En- thusiasm 1i s the ve-cy propeller of of prog-ress. Al great achievemnents have sprunig fromf- the faunt of en- t hinain~. talf-beartedress nev--r attained whole success. Who ever knew a duil, indifferent mmid that evolved a brilliant prodluct? Enthus- iasmn is the electrie current which keeps the engin~e of if e in tune with its function. The Greeks described enthusiasm as a Cod -within us. Do flot thik biogirap1ies of succe-sfuI men of ail ages -show that enthusiasm enabled them to accomplish taskQ apparently superhumnan? Were we ta iiivestigate and search diiigently we shouid find, no0 doubt that ut the base and birth of every great and succeasfui busin~ess concern was an enthusiast, a man consp ' cuous for earn'estness of purposeý, with conceit in his ability and faith in the out-I conie of his endeavors. Enthusiasmn was the motive power that ,propeliedl him on ta success. * * * We have fou-nd in a lang and varied experience in agriculturadl, educq. and business associations that per-1 sons, lacking- in enthusiasm fare sel- dam very successful ia any [in of endeavor. There are born enthua-ý iasts and, there is a possibility of]1 every normal persan becoming ana.1 To succeed in kîndling entbusiasm J 1in one'as sul a persan must believel in himaelf and la what he attempta ta do, that la a rîglit and proper thingi ta do, believe in its eff icacy and 'behieve thaýt it will be a bene-ilt and really worth while doing. It la certainly worth the içf art ta obtain for entIruaiasm ja a dynamo generat- ing power within us. Juat as surely, as- lack of ambition and ignoranei speli failure, enth'usiasni and enight-i enmaent wili sait and seasan even ver., unpaiatable tasks. Usuahly when a persan loses bis enthusiasm lie may as -well give Up the race foar he wili noti win the prize. We have read sanie-1 where that the Elixîr of Life la threel quarters en,ýhusiasm.

Us-1 ually the doar to auccesa la too high up and te bard for the lazy ta reach and open. WHY DISMISS SCHOOL NURSE? We again direct attention ta the, repart of M1iss Hanna, Public Schoo Nurse, an-d wouid hike ta know who the men are who are responsibie for withdrawing the schoais fromn the Bowm-aniviile-Newceastie Uniit sa that there are not a sufficient numi-ber of sehool raanis left ta warrant - tairiing ber serviceýs. In aur opin- ion it was a splenid investm-enl if ,ve may juidge from the number of 'lefects discavered la pupils. To refeýr ta the teetli of achoal children alone the examnination of thousands of schaal children in var- ious parts of the warld lhas shown that fewer than 10 per cent. are free from diseased teeth or gums. Decay af the teeth la the mnost camman de- fet. There is no0 other matter of health wli,,ere the proverbial ounce of pre-; vention will go far. Dental cavities is a disease of chillhoadi and youth and apprapriate preventitive treat- mient during chiidhaod wauld pro- bably ins'ure good teeth ta mast af aduîts. Six niolars, peirmanent "double" teeth wbicb make their appearance jizat back of the lest temporary taoth, when the chiid las about six years of age are especially subject ta decay. They are often iataken byl parents for temporary teeth. Preservation of these tceth is veryï important, nat for the sake of thei teeth ahane, but aiso an account of the jaw and positian of other per- mnanent teeth. Preventive measures for caring for teeth shauld include cleanliness, thoroi;gh mastication, suitabie food, care of temparary teeth, preventian of decay and irregularity and repairi of defects as rapidly as they appear. When a tooth bas acbed the best time for savirng it has gone by. Ta t)iis end the school shauld malte three very important~ cobilfributions. Instruction of children in the aes- sentials af mouth cleanliness; Pre- ventive treatment by an exam.ntia iit regular inter-vala and curativei treatment throiugh the establishment af a school dental clinic.
