Months.
NO EXCEPTIONS ASKED
Six Minute Period Will Be-
gin Next Monday
Morning.
Under the Bible reading program to
be worked out for the guidance of
public school teacher* next year more
time will bo devoted to the reading
of Scriptural passages from the New
Testament and from Proverbs. Psalms
and the Prophets in the Old Testa-
ment according to Dr. Jeremiah
Rhodes superintendent of schools.
There would be more profit in the
leading of the selected portions of the
Old Testament and in the reading of
the New Testament than there would
be in Genesis Leviticus Exodus. Deu-
teronomy. and other parts of the
Bible which are essentially a history
of the Hebrew people Dr. Rhodes
believes.
For an intelligent study of the Bible.
Dr. Rhodes said a proper background
is necessary. Hence the hastily pre-
pared suggestive list of texts for tlr*
guidance of the public school teachers
in reading selections to their classes
during April and Mar consists exclu-
sively. of background material. The
selections for the most part are
Biblical stories which would appeal
to all ages in the schools.
Will Consider Ages.
"When the program is put into full
effect next year.” Dr. Rhodes said
“various parts of the Scriptures will
be read at the same time by the dif-
ferent classes in the schools the pas-
sages read in each class being adapted
to the age of the pupils. It is ob-
vious” Dr. Rhodes continued “that
we could not work out such a program
without careful study and much
thought. As the most fitting expedi-
ent for the remaining two months
of the school year we decided to sug-
gest that the teachers read the Bibli-
cal stories from the Old Testament."
Dr. Rhodes declared that he did not
believe that that two months was too
long a time to devote to the study of

Aid to Combat Tuberculosis.
Sane simple and sensible living and
eating was prescribed by Dr. 8. E.
Thompson of Kerrville as the best way
in which to combat tuberculosis in a
talk made before the T.bns Club at
their regular luncheon Wednesday
noon nt the Gunter Hotel.
Dr. Thompson stressed the faet that
body resistance to disease meant more
than -any other factor in the preven-
tion of the mnlady and declared that
intellect was the rentest barrier to
infection.
There are two ways to become in-
fected with tuberculosis. Dr. Thompson
said.. One of these is by direct means
such ns contact with persons having
the disease and the other is by means
of weakening the body so that its
resistance is broken and tuberculosis
sets in. Every person hns a number of
tubercular bacilli in his body the doe-
tor said and when the resistance of
the body is broken these germs in-
crease.

more well people would think about
keeping well saying that this would
