SOME HOUSEKEEPING MATTERS.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il shall have
to ask you to give my many thanks
to Mr.. and Mrs. Retlaw for the nice
book 1 received last week. 1t was
worth writing a number of letters
for, and I shall always write as often

GREssIvE FARMER comes and there
is no Social Chat. Let US all try to
write often enough so that our COL
umn will always be full.
1 have found it a good idea in
housekeeping TO have a place for
everything and keep every thing in
it's place, as much as possible. It
helps to make our home happy, and
saves us a great deal of trouble and
worry. 1t helps greatly when we
know where anything is and can
get it in the dark, without loss of
time, or can tell our 'Fbetter half

LOVE OF HOME.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il will write
a few lines on love of home. It is a
subject that should have our atten-
ton.
We should love our homes. One
of the surest ways to acquire hap
piness is to devote time at home
to makingit attractive, loving it, and
creating sympathy and happiness
thereby.
But we often see the boys and girls
of farmers become restless, disoon-
tented and unhappy. They go forth,
some with bright anticipations and
some with a look of discomfort.
They leave beautiful and good homes,
kind mothers and fathers, some to
lead a professional life and some
the life of the "Prodigal Son."
And not uncommon it is that after
a few years the boy becomes poor
and would be glad to accept the 80
acres of land that his father offered
him. But now, perhaps, it is sold TO
a Dutchman. Sarah no longer milks
the old brindle COW, Tom no longer
rides the spirited nag. The old
father and mother have crossed the
dark river. The farm home, with it's
flowers and green meadows, if not
sold, is abandoned. Around the cot
tage on the hillside all is silent and
still.
They have gone forth to gain riches
and honors, but are they happy? To
be happy and do good should be our
aim. It is sad to see, in this secbion,
so many old homesteads abandoned.
The boys and girls have moved of,
but not half of them are doing bet
ter than their fathers did. Surely it
is not we'll for all to stay, neither is
it we'll for all to go, SO many times.
In the number of happy homes, lie
the real strength of a nation. See
statistics as to real condition of
young men.
Let US cultivate a love for home,
let our chief interest be there. Let
us read a few good books, and take
mi or more good weekly papers, and
thus remove the necessity, and may
be the desire of travelling, for it is
sure we cannot all travel much. Re-
member this maxim, "There is no
place like home" "Home, Sweet
Home" was written by a homeless
man.
81 love the place, the dear old place,

In the management of the graded
schools of our towns, n grievous
fault is everywhere noticeable. It is
the persistent push of the teachers,
the jealous striving to have chill
dren do more than any other chill
dren have ever done before. There
seems no limit to their ambition to
have the children excel, oftentimes
at the expense of health. We live
in an age of push or be pushed.
Hurry rules, and 1 sometimes thinks
that this one c~easeless hurry causes
a great proportion of the sudden
deaths of which we hear.
A child should be taught delibera-
ton. Especially is this true Of chill
dren that are of a V nature.
Nervous children are usually bright
children, but the teachers seem
never to consider the physical we'll
being of the children and if they
discover that a child's mind is re-
ceptive, they decide that that child
must lead at all hazards, let the
cost be what it may.
1 am sorry for the children whose
parents take little or no interest in
their studies and permit them to be
driven by these ambitious but I'M

enough, but some teachers are I'm
reasonable in their demands on the
little brains. W. parents are anx-
ious that they learn by advancing,
but we are also anxious that the
work be done gradually and perma-
nently, and not like the flash Of q
meteor or rocket whose brilliancy
astonishes all that behold it, but a
moment later disappears.
Why, some teachers are &c I'M
ious that the child study all the
available wakeful hours that they
actually give extra long lessons on
Friday, so that in order TO know
them perfectly on Monday the child
must study all day Saturday! This
is not right. It is unjust and dis
couraging to an ambitious child {;
besides is tyrranical, and little minds
that r. SO receptive are not slow to
perceive and grasp the situation.
A child should not be required to
know more than he or she can readily
learn in school. I do not believe in
night study for little children, and
if our teachers could be persuaded to
go slow and be thorough (nstead of
skimming, as a child necessarily
does under the present condition of
things) it would indeed be more sat
i~sfactory to all concerned. No fish
erman ever caught a fish worth car
rying home if he simply allowed his
hook to float over the surface of
the water. Teachers must learn pa
tience and perseverance and that
knowledge is not gained by skim
What I have said, of course, applies
to our CITY graded schools. Our
readers who depend exclusively on
the short terms of the country
school, perhaps need no lesson of
kind.

Dobbs met his friend Turner in the

That woman was created to i'll

world no one familiar with her
physical, moral and mental make up
can doubt. That many women of
TO day show a tendency to think
slightingly of those privileges and
responsibilities which have come
down as the best inheritance of their
sex Is a fact which faces US on every
side in this country of ours. 1t is
=nore the base here than in any other
nation, I regret to say. 1t has spread
in the lat few years like some cpl
-demio, until it has, to a distressing
extent, affected the whole system of
society and home government.
Modesty and gentleness, these two
sweet landmarks Of womankind,
seem TO have been laid aside by
many, and masculinity and aggres
siveness have been given their
places.
The spirit of unrest has found easy
victims in thousands of American
homes, until the social condition
which presents itself TO- day, even
among the best and most cultured
classes, differs essentially from the
standards heretofore held as invio
liable. 1t is a sad and a dangerous
change that c~onfronts US. It's shib-

of this month to assume charge. 1t is ex-
pected that the enrolment this year will
be greater than last, but the enlarged facil-
tiles are believed to be equal to handling
as many more pupils as will appear at the
buildings.
One new building will be occupied for
the first time this year. IT is a four-room
school, and is on the corner of Martindale
avenue and Twenty-fourth street. The
school is called the Francis w. Parker

additional school rooms in the buildings
this year. including the portable rooms.
which can be moved from one building to
another. The Manual Training High School
will have two of these and the grades will
use six. The new rooms will necessitate
between twenty and thirty new teachers.
The Schoo Board will meet this evening.
but the meeting will not be an important
one, as the superintendent is out Of the
city and there is little work TO be done
until nearer the opening of school.
