Free Bulletins For Farmers.

The Director of the Texas Agri-
cultural Experiment Station is
anxious to extend the usefulness of
the stations to the largest possible
number of farmers in the state.
Until recently there have been on
ly ten thousand names on the mail
ing list to receive the bulletins as
they are issued from time to time.
This seems an indescribably small
number since there are approx
mately two hundred and sixty
thousand farmers in the state.
1t is especially desired that per
sons interested in farming should
send in their names at this time as
the mailing lists are being enlarged
and reprinted. Owing to the mea-
ger appropriations for the publca-
ton of the bulletins, quite a num-
Der of them are now out of print"
and to be sure of receiving these
publications a farmer should have
his name on the list.
Address all requests to William
D. Gibbs, Director of Experiment
Stations, College Station, Texas,
stating in which of the following
lines bulletins are desired Cd
Farm Crops, ~ Horticulture and
~ Live Stock.

ton for this study is laid in the
language lesson Of the primary
hildren. Of course there must be
thought work and accurate work in
this as in other studies. Correct
forms must be studied, capitaIiza-
ton and punctuation must be kept
constantly before them in their
written lessons and attention must
be given to the little stories for re-
production. In this study let the
morning talk be the keynote of the
DAYS work. For example, let them
talk about The Cleaners" by
Millet, then tell them the Bible
story of Ruth. Later in the day
give them a lesson about wheat.
In the study of numbers, sense
training should precede the work
and should be given daily the first
month. 1t would be waste Of time
to 20 into detail as to methods we
use to get the children interested
in this study, as we are all so famll-
lar with the many devices used.
The use of objects, pictures, stories
does it's work here too.
In beginning geography, we
should make it pictorial and descrip-
tive. The elements of natural
scenery which fall under their OBJ
servation, should be noted with
their distance and relative size.
These objects will include hill,
mountain. brook, river, plain, forest,
island and sea-; the~+own, county,
state and country; animals, trees
and plants; the people who live
near by with their habits, customs
and clothing. Such studies will
give them a longing to learn OF 9TH

think the poet who wrote, First it

by jing it's fritz" must have been a
native of the Panhandle, and had in
mind some spring morning, or some
winter afternoon when he had been
told to report to teacher" after
observing the weather for a few
hours.
Teach them directions and direc-
tons on the map, and when geog-
raphy is given them, this knowl-
edge, with the help of the illustra-
tons will do the work, and the
class will begin this study eagerly.
In all things, at all times, we
should teach them to investigate,
to think, to notice the objects
within reach of their vision. Such
will induce a habit of attention,
without which there can never be
any improvement in any depart
ment.
We should not forget to keep
these facts in our minds; that they
shouldtbe taught to study to re-
tain, taught to study alone, to mas
ter each point as they go, to ex-
press what they learn, thatoonoen-
'tration of mind is necessary to
study, that there must be regular
time for study; and then let US re-
member that for anyone to study
