Yesterday we had the first taste OF
summer. The young woman had
hardly gotten used to her spring
finery. and the young man had not got
ten used to the set of his light over
coat when summer was upon us.
There were open cars in the streets,
and the Philadelphia papers began re-
porting heat prostrations. There are
two seasons nowadays; winter and
summer.

SCHOLASTIC IGNoRANCE

The Morning News, referring to the
many absurd answers made by the stu
dents of the High School to list OF
questions. expresses the opinion that
the show Of ignorance is lamentable.
and that there is something wrong Il
would seem that our contemporary is
right although there is something 10
be said in defense Of the pupils and
teachers In the first place, many OF
these questions, while about things OF
practical and general interest, are not
to be found in the text books, and our
modern system of education, which ex-
tends to so many branches, leaves the
pupils little time or brain energy to
master anything that has not been in
cluded in the course. IL is true that
frequently we find pupils who can
glibly recite their Latin grammar or
solve a book problem in algebra, are
helpless before a mathematical ques-
tion arising out OF their own expert
ence, and show an ignorance of gem
eral matters that is startling.
We must not forget that education is
a matter of lifelong experience and
of contact with life at many points. II
our children were taken from their
books and plunged into business, we
should expect them TO be conversant
with affairs Of general discussion, but
not expect them to be well-infoImed
on subjects treated in the text books.
Isn't 1t also true that during their
school years their minds are so alb
sorbed in their tasks that there is little
time or real interest in anything else
It is a common experience for teach
ers TO find pupils apparently hopeless
ly ignorant OF current events, or Of
facts of general interest. This comes
from being absorbed in something
else. This state of affairs is not con-
fined to pupils. We have in mind a
lecturer on English literature who
some years ago listened impatiently to
story about the then Secretary of
State whose name was frequently
mentioned. Presently no exclaimed;
well, who is this MIR. Blaine. any
way?"
There are teachers from whom the
pupils gather the information involved
in these questions without conscious
effort. There should be a period set
aside in every class room once a week
for discussion OF topics OF the hour.
Stories might be told, papers and
books read. and review of current
events. This would prove most inter-
esting II properly conducted, and in
terest is a most important element in
education. We know of schools where
this is done. One teacher. about the
time OF the destruction OF the Maine,
found her pupils pouring over the pa
pers. She asked them questions, which
created additional interest. The sub
iect broadened as the subsequent
events transpired. They read papers
and asked their friends for informa-
tion. and eagerly hunted for facts in
in the books OF the library. AT this
date, She says, they have a pretty good
idea of the history Of Cuba and of
Spain. and are perfectly conversant
with the details of the last few years
Here Is a hint worth consideration.

rat told Of a man who was restored to
health after his heart had been pierced
by a ball from a revolver. The wound
ed man, he said, was placed In hos

Location For the Pig sty.

The pig sty often is filled with mate
rials for absorbing manure, but they
are not cleaned as frequently as should
be the case. In winter. If the yard
should contain absorbents. they be-
come soaked during rains and are dlsa-
greeable locations for adults or pigs.
The pig prefers a dry location, as ii
suffers severely on very cold days. The
materials in the pig stys will be of
more service if added 10 the manure
heap and a plentiful supply Of cut
straw thrown into'the yard in its place.
The covered she'd or sleeping quarters.
should be Uttered foot deep with cut
straw, which may then be thrown into
the yard, but the yard should always
be cleaned out after rain and dry ma
terial then added.

coal passes. AS far as possible the
work Of sorting sizes and picking out
impurities is done by machinery. AS
The illustration shows, the general plan
Is 10 sort the coal over Inclined bars.
then TO pass what goes through the
bars over revolving or shaking screens.
while what goes through goes directly
to the loading bins, or else Is broken
up into smaller sizes by rolls and then
separated into the various sizes by
screens. The capacity OF the average
breaker is from 2OOO to 5000 tons OF
coal a day.
The tendency of recent years has
been to use more Of the smaller sizes
OF anthracite, and consequently the
breaking has been done with this end
In view.
