A WELCOME VISITOR On Tuesday, November 17th, we had the unexpected pleasure of meeting Mr. Dud- ley Craft Watson of the Art Institute. He is a very fine speaker and knows how to get boys and girls interested. It was very amusing to hear him describe the emo- tions of pupils on art day. I think I never had quite so many laughs before. He made us very happy by telling us that Italy gave to the world some of its finest artists and that one of the best liv- ing artlsts of today ls a Mexican. We surely appreciated the compliment. - Tony Mangelli, 311-SB. Jackson Junior High News. Hallowe'en is a time of fun, To dance. and sing, and also run: It's not the time for wicked pranks, Like breaking gates, and pulling planks. One dreads to think of Hal1owe'en, When pranks like that are done unseen: But laughing faces, and costumes gay Are outward signs of wholesome play. Black cats, and witches, are our hosts, With now and then some gruesome ghosts: Blowing beans, and making noise Are just some of the evening's joys. Let's get together, and dress up keen, For tomorrow night is Hallowe'en. Melvin Harmes, SB, Harper Scroll. Teacher: Willie, can you tell me why Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence?

The subject of this talk, Enjoying your visit to the dentist, may stimulate a bit of humor on the part of many listeners but won't you please listen attentively and be convinced that the title, Enjoying your visit to the dentist, is really well founded and correctly stated. The progressive and scientific spirit which dominates modern dentistry has practically eliminated physical pain from dental service. This has been accom- plished not alone by the use of improvcd anaesthetics, but also by advanced meth- ods and increased skill. Dentistry today is not satisfied with merely extracting dis- eased teeth, restoring them with plates and bridges, crowning and filling the decayfd ones and treating diseases of the mouth. The dental profession is also deeply con- cerned with preventive measures to com- bat these extensive losses. in order that the natural teeth be preserved and health maintained. The prevention of disease is far more important than its cure. So in this battle for health. dentistry brings directly to its patients the reassuring and beneficial re- sults of the successful research work be- ing conducted hy many prominent scien- tists as well as dentists, who are contin- ually reporting new discoveries to bene- fit mankind. This, in brief, is an accurate picture of the extensive health service afforded by dentistry today. The public recognizes the dentist as indispensable in modern life yet there is frequently delay and hesitancy i11 consulting him for service. There is but one predominating cause for this DPD- crastination. Whether it be the young or the old, the man, the woman or the child, the cause for attempting to evade or delay obtaining this beneticial dental service is fear. Now, let us analyze this fear which folks entertain regarding the dental chair. Perhaps we shall discover that an under- standing of the situation will not alone remove the fear but also the pain. This fear, which is a state of mind, so distressing at times. growing so huge in consciousness that it may dethrone reason and warp judgment, is defined as an emotion excited by threatening evil or impending pain, accompanied by a desire to avoid or escape it. The alarmingly determined effect of fear upon the func- tions of the body has been experimentally proven. The scientific world also reports that digestion. assimilation, nutrition and life-maintaining processes in general, are retarded and in seine cases stopped. when fear gains control. A prominent medical authority states that to those who have come ln contact with large numbers of the discontented, the misflts of various kinds, it would ap- pear that more unhappiness, more busi- ness and social failures are due to fear than any other cause. Basil King, in his book on The Con- quest of Fear, writes as follows: I am ready to guess that all the miseries wrought by sin and sickness put together would not equal those we bring on our- selves through fear, which perhaps we do the least to counteract. We are not sick all the time: We are not sinning all the time: but all the time all of us. or prac- tically all of us are afraid of someone or something. These statements are sufllcient to prove the prevalence, the seriousness as well as the probable disaster which may result from entertaining fear in our mental home. The folly of fear has been eloquently described by Emerson, as follows: Some of your griefs you have cured And the sharpest you still have survived. But what torments of grief you endured From evils which never arrived.! Over two thousand years ago Aristotle discovered that unwise training in early childhood was the basic cause for fear in later life. The ability to prevent fear from seriously affecting the normal de- should be The par- ideas can their chil- believe that they had been concealed. It ls therefore quite or adults do not of children, any velopment of the chlld's mind of vital importance to parents. ents should know that their hardly fail to be conveyed to dren, even though they imperative that parents discuss in the presence diiiicult dental experience or symptoms occasioned by an abscess or pains from neglected teeth. 'Their tender minds greatly magnify those experiences. Fear to go to the dentist may easily be aroused in this way. Such experiences cause fears in later life which may be difficult tc conquer. The individual thus afflicted. may not be able to account for his tear, as evidenced by this well knowwn rhyme: I do not like you, Dr. Fell, The reason why, I cannot tellg But this I know and know quite well, I do not like you, Dr. Fell. The child may require dental attention as early as the age of two months. Regu- lar visits to the dentist should not be de- layed later than three years. Dental ex- aminations should be made about every six months, as the chlld's teeth decay much more rapidly than the adults. This early attention is very important in preventing any dental ailment reaching the stage where it will cause needless pains and be difficult to correct. A small cavity is easily, quickly and palnlessly filled Without treatments or use of anaesthetics. So why delay until it becomes a large cavity? Re- quest your dentist to give you dietary ad- vice for your child. This will be very helpful for the prevention of dental dls- turbances as this information is most val- uable and effective in early life. The chlld's visit to the dentist will then be brief and less often. Yet these visits will be sufrlcient for the child to become ac- quainted with the dentist and his sur- roundings under these favorable condi- tions, thus overcoming dread on the part of the child. The modern reception rooms have pictures and magazines which inter- est the child, some even providing a play- room. The operating room does not re- semble a hospital unit, but its furnishings are cheerful. attractive musical. The dentist greets the child pleasantly, name. and with and often even calling him by his first a few jovial remarks puts the child at per- speaks of things fect ease. The dentist and incidents that are of interest in the r-hild's daily activity. Thus he gains the little patient's attentive co-operation and his confidence. The child learns that the dentist is not to be feared, but that he is just as human, just as kind and just as considerate as his parents. If the child is old enough to understand, the dentist shows in advance just what instruments he will use. thus winning the confidence of the child and dlspelling fear. If an extraction be necessary the dentist will practice no deception as to what he intends doing but will explain to the child the importance and necessity for its removal and that this will be done practically without pain. The child's tooth may be infected, abscessed, thus poisoning the en- tire system: or. it may be preventing his permanent teeth from Properly growing in the jaw. While the dentist is care- fully using the dental bur for rem.ovlng decay from the tooth, the child will often exclalm that it tickles. Thus the chlld's mind, free from fear, experiences no pain. The child will also appreciate being told that the filling of the tooth will per- mit him to enjoy chewing his food with- out auy more pain. The fact that this work has been painlessly accomplished will make the young patient a grateful friend. Parents will have no difhculty in continu- ing the child's regular visits for dental examination. We adults. are but children grown up, some of us having grown up just a bit more than others. The causes of fear in, adult life are often but repetitions of the fears born in childhood. Thus we adults may be startled by fears aroused when we are in the darkness of a cellar.

Page Ten The Nincfeen Thirty-two Graduation Numbff SABINITE JUNIOR January, 1932 A VISIT IN THE DESERT By M. BOE!-IM Motoring across the continent is a good way to learn about the country traversed and if one is satisfied to take chances On little hardships and delays can-sed by fol- lowing less frequented routes, he Will be more than repaid by the unusual and nn- fxnected things encountered where tour- ists are few. Coming Eastwapd from the northern part of California last summer, we decided to try a less frequented route which we had missed on previous tI'iDS and 39 usual we were well repaid for the trouble. After crossing the western range of mountains our trail led through the desert and the desert is always interesting. Along the road we came to a couple of cabins. A small sign in front of one of them read Dad Lee, King of the Desert. There evidently was a character, a man different from those of the big herd. so we stopped. Next moment a man stood beside the car, tall. distinguished-looking. clean and neat. While he greeted us in the most hospitable manner he offered my sister a cup of cool water with a pleasant smile. I jumped out and greeted him with the words I suppose I have the honor of addressing Mr. Lee. His reply was At your service, sir, and may I ask whom I have the honor of bidding welcome? After mutual introductions he odered my sister his arm and with the manners of a cavalier escorted her to his living room cabin where she seated herself in a com- fortable chair, padded deep with skins of wild animals. We spent an interesting hour and a half with this lonely man of the desert discuss- ing art. history, science, medicine, psy- chology, mining and hi-story on all of which subjects he was well informed. He told us that he was eighty-six years old the would have been considered well preserved for a man of sixtyl. He attributes his good condition to his simple carefree life and to the influence of the sunlight. A large window in his sleeping cabin is glazed with beautiful violet glass. I ven- tured the statement that the glass was originally white but that the action of the sun of the desert had turned it violet. The man had been interesting all along but this statement made him an enthusiast. He told us that he had found old bottles and other glass articles which has lain in the desert sand for decades and the clear glass had turned to a deep violet. Among his specimens was an old fashioned glass lamp for burning kerosene which had entirely changed to a deep violet as were the sheets of glass in his cabin. The fact that such exposure in the desert will bring about this change has just been discovered by the scientists of the University of South- ern California but Dad Lee has known it for more than forty years and he told us that it takes from ten to fifteen years to make the change, ordinarily, though thin pieces, under favorable conditions, may be changed in seven years. A lady had heard about one glass lamp and she wanted to buy it but he told her I do not run a store so he odered it to her, she came again to call for it and made him a present of live hundred dol- lars. There probably is no other one like it any where and probably never will be. After looking over his interesting col- lection of skeletons, weapons, mining equipment, ores, etc., and playing with his tame coyote and his pet bear we were ft'nniinm'd on Pnyr 11, Col. 22 Elllllflllllhllll POETRY SECTION lL!gli'lllll'l'1'l r'I THE AUTUMN TREES JANE'1'1'E KORECKI, 306-9A l walked in the woods among the trees And saw what Jack Frost did to the leaves.

DICKIE BROWN SYLVIA BROWN, 306-9A I have a little cousin, His name is Dickie Brown, He likes to jump and run Like a clown from circus town.

I love to go to his home For he shows me loads of fun. BOOKS Books, books, books, and the treasure they hold, The tales they tell and the songs they sing- Worth their weight in the finest gold That was ever given a king! One tells of gardens, and one of the sea, One's full of fairies all spaugly slim, Yours are for you and mine are for me. And the one about bears for him.

ODE TO A ROBIN By SYDNEY JUSTIN lWrltten two years ago on a farm inl Michlganl 0 scarlet-breasted harbinger, What tidings do you bring? Of flowers, of trees, of bubbling brooks? O Messenger of Spring! When winter winds are howling, An-d snow is on the ground, When stormy gales are blowing, We hear your cheerful sound. You sing of joy and happiness, You bring us hope and cheer, Then you depart for southern climes, To return another year. THE YEAR BEAUTIFUL SPRING From the depths of the forest all nature revels, The woodthrush sings in the leafy trees, His voice as the tinkling of silver bells, Stirred by the joyous breeze. SUMMER The heat of the molten sun pours down without remorse, The shimmering blue of the sky is a boon, From the bane of the sun, that shrivels the gorse, And the rays of Old Sol play a merciless tune. AUTUMN The wind in mad capers stirs up the leaves. Of wondrous beauty, all golden and red. As the bushes and vines all mournfully grieve That their summer apparel is dead. WINTER The iclcles hang on grim skeletons on trees, And the wintry wind dolefully howls, Seek all Creation to shiver and freeze, Drops splatters of hall from her frigid jowls. S. J. H. A country school board was visiting a school and the school ma'am was putting her pupils through their paces. Who signed the Magna Charta, Os- wald? she demanded. Please, ma'am, 'twasn't me, whim- pered the boy. The teacher in disgust told him to take his seat but one of the farmers who ap- peared much interested rose and said, Ma'am, call that boy back.
