When we begin to study how best to improve
and push forward the town and county and
not sit back and wait for some one else to do
it then we will be on the high road to success
We can do this by adopting progressive ideas.
taking lively interest in everything that per
jealousies with unity of purpose and kindly
feeling; working together; pulling in one line
instead OF stirring up strife; improving our
roads and farms; doing these things in busi-

The "Word" Method in Our Schools.
Stockton independent

The Chinese language is taught by a "word"
me thod that is only little more involved than
that pursued in some of the California schools.
By the American method pupils are required
to memoriZe the spelling of words without
analyZing them. The student of Chinese has
to memorlZe the characters representing a.
235 words and the task of the American child
little less burdensome. This word method,
now abandoned in Stockton, is responsible for
most OF the bad spelling by pupils from II to

which it is inflated as compared with the
weight of common air, bulk for bulk. Hydro
gen is the lightest of all known substances. A
cubic foot of atmospheric air at a temperature
OF "a degrees weighs 527 O4 troy grains, whlie
a cubic foot of hydrogen is about fifteen times
lighter. If balloon would contain 1000
pounds of atmospheric air at temperature OF
"a Fahrenheit, but was filled with coal gas, 1t
would weigh, all told, covering, gas and ap-
pendages, 600 pounds. and it would rise with
