Hoover On Art of Living Committees Are At Work Selling Them For the Big Event Which Opens On Monday, August 27—Everybody Is Hustling—Advance Man Here SUCCESS SEEMS CERTAIN I The advance man for the Chautauqua has arrived and as usual he is a young man whom it is an honor to welcome to the community. He is Mr. Davis, who informs us that he is a law student at Western Reserve in the winter, and follows chautauqua work in the summer. And girls, he is good looking, young and single. If he wants you to know anything- more about him he probably will tell you himself. He did say though that the superintendent this year will be the same Mr. Joseph, who was here two seasons ago, and was so popular with North Canton people." Mr. Joseph is scheduled to arrive Saturday. Selling Chautauqua Tickets Ticket sales are going forward as usual at this time before chautauqua.

The North Canton Fire De AFTER watching people greet W. H. Hoover in the Community Christian church on Sunday morning and offer their congratulations while wishing him many more birthday anniversaries, the thought Hashed through the mind of this writer for The Sun that the art of living is the greatest and the finest of all arts. And for its mastery we are all sent early to a school which never ceases teaching; if not by precept, yet by our own experience. And the teachers in this school of learning how to live are ourselves. XXX Looking at W. H. Hoover; listening to his words as he addresses the Sunday-school or his class; knowing, something in a very small way of his good deeds (he keeps them under cover), and his sincere love for his fellow men, it dawns on you that tolerance is one of this remarkable man's greatest traits. A specially gifted person himself, he knows that we are not cast like buttons in a mould, all just alike and fitted for a certain kind of usefulness. X t X This writer recalls some remarks .he made to the men's class just before he started on his Mediterranean cruise several years ago. I cannot quote him verbatim, of course, but in substance he said: Mr. Hoover's Views "We depend for our happiness upon the society of others—yes, even for our food and safety. The art of living is at bottom the art pf living a community life, an art of giving and receiving, of getting on with neighbors and of making it pleasant for neighbors to get on with us, an art of good relations in the crowd. "When we have learned how to live in confidence and quietude of heart with God, the problems of living with our brother men and with our troubling selves will be simplified. "When you have really learned to love you have learned sympathy, consideration, pity and humanity; as well as caution, prudence, care of what you have had entrusted to you and foreseeing wisdom. For all these are in the nature of everyday -qualities, approved of God and accepted by God as the natural expression of our childlikeness and love to him. "And that manner of Hying which has God's approval in it's own self involves and of necessity includes a sense of communal relations regarded as a common brotherhood." XX X So this art of living, so well followed out by W. H. Hoover, comes to be divided into three parts: The..first of these is the art of living with others. The second, the difficult and often very trying art of living with ourselves. The third, the art of living happily and fruitfully with God. o Town Knockers IT seems to this regular writer for The Sun that the residents of North Canton do not "boost" their town sufficiently to attract attention and impress strangers. I do not mean the blatant kind of boosting so popular in the West, although I acknowledge I much prefer that to the easy-going style found here among a certain class. The writer of this column has traveled many miles since his youth and as a newspaper man he has met many men ' and women, but rarely did he meet persons willing to "knock" their own town. t X X The Fire Department Can the same be said about North Canton? Let us see. Last week the fire department was called out. The truck went north in splendid style and the firemen saved the property. Yet certain fellows here who never saw a big .blaze or firemen go into action sneer at men who risk limb or life to serve the NAMES OF TEACHERS FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS Twenty-Six, Several of Them New-Comers Here, Will Be Ready For Their Duties When Doors Open On Monday Morning, September 10. THOS. G. DENTON, SUPT. When the pubilc schools of North Canton open on Monday morning, Sept. 10, several new faces will greet the pupils as their teachers.

The advance man for the Chautauqua has arrived and as usual he is a

welcome to the community. He is Mr.
Davis, who informs us that he is a
law student at Western Reserve in
the winter, and follows chautauqua
work in the summer. And girls, he is
good looking, young and single. If he
wants you to know anything- more

himself. He did say though that the
superintendent this year will be the
same Mr. Joseph, who was here two
seasons ago, and was so popular with
North Canton people." Mr. Joseph is

AFTER watching people greet W. H.
Hoover in the Community Christian church on Sunday morning
and offer their congratulations while
wishing him many more birthday anniversaries, the thought Hashed
through the mind of this writer for
The Sun that the art of living is the
greatest and the finest of all arts. And
for its mastery we are all sent early
to a school which never ceases teaching; if not by precept, yet by our own
experience. And the teachers in this
school of learning how to live are ourselves.
XXX
Looking at W. H. Hoover; listening
to his words as he addresses the Sunday-school or his class; knowing,
something in a very small way of his
good deeds (he keeps them under
cover), and his sincere love for his
fellow men, it dawns on you that tolerance is one of this remarkable
man's greatest traits. A specially
gifted person himself, he knows that
we are not cast like buttons in a
mould, all just alike and fitted for a
certain kind of usefulness.
X t X
This writer recalls some remarks
.he made to the men's class just before he started on his Mediterranean
cruise several years ago. I cannot
quote him verbatim, of course, but in
substance he said:
Mr. Hoover's Views
"We depend for our happiness upon
the society of others—yes, even for
our food and safety. The art of living is at bottom the art pf living a
community life, an art of giving and
receiving, of getting on with neighbors and of making it pleasant for
neighbors to get on with us, an art
of good relations in the crowd.
"When we have learned how to live
in confidence and quietude of heart
with God, the problems of living with
our brother men and with our troubling selves will be simplified.
"When you have really learned to
love you have learned sympathy, consideration, pity and humanity; as
well as caution, prudence, care of
what you have had entrusted to you
and foreseeing wisdom. For all these
are in the nature of everyday -qualities, approved of God and accepted by
God as the natural expression of our
childlikeness and love to him.
"And that manner of Hying which
has God's approval in it's own self
involves and of necessity includes a
sense of communal relations regarded
as a common brotherhood."
XX X
So this art of living, so well followed out by W. H. Hoover, comes to
be divided into three parts: The..first
of these is the art of living with
others.
The second, the difficult and often
very trying art of living with ourselves. The third, the art of living
happily and fruitfully with God.

Town Knockers
IT seems to this regular writer for
The Sun that the residents of
North Canton do not "boost" their
town sufficiently to attract attention
and impress strangers. I do not
mean the blatant kind of boosting so
popular in the West, although I acknowledge I much prefer that to the
easy-going style found here among a
certain class.
The writer of this column has traveled many miles since his youth and
as a newspaper man he has met many
men ' and women, but rarely did he
meet persons willing to "knock" their
own town.

The Fire Department
Can the same be said about North
Canton? Let us see.
Last week the fire department was
called out. The truck went north in
splendid style and the firemen saved
the property. Yet certain fellows
here who never saw a big .blaze or
firemen go into action sneer at men
who risk limb or life to serve the
