Columbus, Ohio, Is the cradle of the

frat training school for kindergarten
teachers in Ohio was established. BOs-

claim the distinction Of being the first
place In America where Froebers

occupied by a locksmith whose shop

of the kindergarten movement in the

Dear Sir: You paint lead and oil
don't you? Do you know why a house
turns fat In spots and streaks i n few
weeks, before the paint has had auv
chance to cha.k or wear?
Devoe lead and zinc don't fat. LIS
az glossy as ever until 1t b-gins to
wear: 1t keeps its gloss for two or
three years. When the gloss begins
to sc, the paint is beginning to 60.
It is the first sign OF wear-it ought
to be.
We suppose the flattiug is due to
water 10 lead; but why il Should fit
