Topeka, March 3.-Porter's bill provid-
ing for manual training in the public
schools of the state passed the house
after much discussion. 1t has already
passed the senate and will go to the gov
ernor for his signature. 1t provides that
the state shall appropriate $4,000 to en-
courage manual training.
Brown, of Brown, started the ball by
opposing the bill. He declared that the
farmers didn't want il. The country
school should not be converted into a car

said he. What we want is book learn
ing taught. Our boys can learn to be car
penters later If they want to, and our
girls can take up dressmaking later on,
but they should not be forced to learn
that truck in school," Leland opposed
the bill because il carried an appropria-
ton. He said the districts should keep up
the expense of their own schools. jerks
said he favored the bill because the wo-
mems club wanted it. Stubs thought 1t
was a step in the right direction. Taylor
moved to strike out the appropriation.
but his motion was lost. After several
other members talked BRIEFLY the roll

A WAY to Make Money.

When you boys and girls were ba-
bies and knew no better you used to
pull every one of your toys to pieces.
No matter how pretty or how expen.
sive they were to pieces they would
come. And probably mother and faith
er, after trying to break you of this
bad habit, made up their minds that
you were genius, and wanted to find
out how all your different toys were
made.
How many of you could put the
pieces back in place? Not many, I'll
warrant.
But now, that you are older, it is
easy to replace the loose parts of toys
and other articles.
Why not make this a little business
and earn some money by it? There
are many homes where broken things
accumulate for years, sometimes
never being mended.
Now boys or girls, if you have care
full, neat fingers, steady hands and
accurate eyes, this is a good sugges-
ton for you to follow
Buy a small bottle of cement and a
small bottle of glue, if you have
enough money. If not, mother or faith
er or uncle will perhaps lend you the
money for an investment.
Armed with these weapons, visit the
neighbors and offer to mend china,
crockery and bric-a-brac. Practice at
home first If you can and be sure your
pieces are in the right places.
AS you become expert, you will find
that you need plaster of paris, putty, a
small box of paints and some varnish.
The plaster and putty are to fill UP
chinks where pieces are missing; the
paint to color them, and the varnish
to finish off if necessary.
Try this little plan and see what a
success you can make os it with the
help of the three p's-pluck, patience
and perseverance.

cut clean scrap paper into inch
squares and pile them on a paste
board box lid. There should be sew
eral handfuls, enough to make a good
sized heap.
Place the box lid in the center OF
the table at which the game is to be,
played and give each player pin
The fun consists in seeing who in the
fifteen minutes allotted to the game
can spear the most pieces with his
pin.
BY the rules of the game only one
piece of paper may be taken on the
pin at one time. If two are captured
by mistake both must be returned to-
the pile.
A small prize may be given TO the.
boy or girl having the most squares.
when the game is at an end.
Pins and marbles-Each boy or girl
receives three pins, which are stuck
upright in the carpet Marbles are,
then used to bowl over the pins. Nat
urally, there must be a prearranged
place for the pins to be stuck and for
the bowler to stand, in order that
