LOOKING FORWARD.

The educational craftsmanship of
this generation must solve a number
of problems, if the next generation
is to be we'll educated. The rural
school must be so organized as to
reach the life of the children who
come to it for help. That school
must be strong school as to num-
bers, it must be taught by trained
teachers, it must be supervised by an
educational expert, 1t must have a
good library, it must be housed in
good building, and it must have at
tractive environment The follow
ing short article may point the way
to the solution to some of these pro-
blems.

Where Peach Trees Will Grow.

From Country Life in America.
1t is surprising over what a wide range OF
territory the peach will thrive. There are
good peach orchards in the Annapolis val--
ley of Nova Scotia, and they are scattered
in almost every state in the Union. Be-
cause there are certain well-marked peach
regions in which the cultivation of the fruit
assumes commercial Importance we not
to assume that it may not be grown with
entire success in very many other places.
These special regions, particularly east or
the Rocky mountains and north of Mason
and Dixon's line, are usually near some
large body of water. and the secret of suc-
cess is generally the freedom from disas-
winter temperature. But. If the tree ma
lures itself well in the fall. and the winter
is steady the peach tree will withstand 70
degrees below zero with impunity. OF
course If this temperature Is long continued
and if the winter atmosphere is very dry

handled Not only does the peach thrive Z;
over a wide geographical region, but also IN.
a great variety of soils. 1t is generally con- !
sidered that it does best in a loose, sandy !!

How to Drive Correctly.
From Country Life in America

From country Lie III AiheIit"
One cannot drive without sitting down,
and that position should, from the first. be
correct, easy and firm. Sit squarely down
on your seat or cushion; not on the end of
your spine with your feet stuck far out in
front as if rowing a boat. but upright, and
with the legs forming an angle at the base
of the spine, which will make you' Tor COM
forts sake, hollow your back; and which
nosition. in turn, will give you a feel to
wrist, forearm and hand which you never
knew before.
The reins are held in the left hand, the
left or nigh rein coming over the first finger
and thence through the palm; the right or
off rein coming between the second and
third fingers and thence through the palm.
thus separating the reins by the width of
two fingers, and enabling quite wide
change in direction to be made by merely
turning the hand and wrist
Do not lug at a horses mouth but always

Why England Helps the Cunarders.

From the London Outlook
No sooner had the Germans shown with
their Deutschland and Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse that they could build the fasteset
largest and most comfortable ansatlantid
liners in the world than all the German
shipbuilding yards were overcrowded with
remunerative work. To the trade 1T mat
tered nothing whether these great liners
paid dividends or not; 1t was sufficient to
know that the German yards had produced
unquestionably the best ocean steamers IN
the world So long as that fact stood I'M
challenged so long was 1t certain that our
own trade would be steadily diverted to
Germany. Whether we shall want the Gu
narders FOR war purposes or not may have
been thought a minor matter. 1t is no NIL
nor matter that Great Britain should res
assert her shipbuilding supremacy, though
whether this is the best way is open to q
good deal of discussion.

THE AGE LIMIT.
Corporation Counsel to Pass Upon
Question as Affecting Licenses.

The Commissioners will refer to the cor
poration counsel the question as to whether
or not they have the right to withhold
licenses from automobile operators on ac-
count of age. The automobile examining
board at Its meeting Wednesday night held
up two permits on account of the youth OF
the applicants. one being fourteen and the
other fifteen years of age. The automobile
board is first to present the matter in writ
ing. In speaking Of the matter this morn
ing Commissioner Mcfarland said:
LAS the automobile regulations now stand
they contain no limitation of age, and there
is apparently therefore provision In 1t
for rejecting any applicant who passes the
required examination solely on account or
age The Commissioners will consult the
corporation counsel to their legal au-
thority in the premises before passing upon
the question. 1t goes without saying that
we do not want reckless or incompetent
persons of any age running automobiles In
the District of Columbia"
