tain. Then she hurried over to the
second-grade room, brought out
dozen children and set them to work
singing and playing games among the
frightened herd Of little ones.
Like sprites of Fairyland drawing
frightened children into the sweet
mountain paths from dreary city high
ways, they accomplished what no
teacher could have done, and began to
draw the other little ores into the
paths Of learning before they knew
anything about it.
With the newness beginning to wear
off from their surroundings, the teach
er asks for volunteers to tell stories
to the class, and gets response that
keeps her busy selecting the perform
ers. Johnny now stands up smiling
and tells the class all about two little
girls who went out walking one day.

When Johnny took his seat the
teacher sent all the class to the black
boards round the room and told them
to draw picture illustrating the won

Then one Of them was sent out of

awkward, the graceful, appeared in
turn. This simple game Of hide and

a teacher has of ascertaining the true
mental status Of each child under her
care.
When this game was over the first
day Of school was over, too All round
the door, as the children bade their
teacher an affectionate good-by, were
clustered older brothers and sisters
waiting to take their charges away.

Johnny couldn't make up his mind
whether TO laugh or cry. 1t was
great to be able to go to school like
the rest and all that, but there was a
sinking sensation all over him. He
sat swinging his legs from the biggest
chair in the house, and twisting his
new cap nervously. Biff, the fox ter
rier, believing from all customary
signs that Johnny was ready to go
out, scampered about him, but he got
only a quavering little "Oh, shut upp'
Gall ready" said his mother, and he
caught hold of her hand, and made up
his mind he wouldn't cry if he bit his
tongue off. Along three blocks they
went. Somehow the familiar land
marks looked different to him than
ever before, as he was led till they
reached the front of the big dingy
looking schoolhouse.
There was little catching in the
mothers throat at the thought Of
first parting from the baby Of the
household. Another minute and they
were in the broad bleak schoolroom,
where many other mothers and many
other Johnnies and their sisters were
already assembled. Our young friend
was duly intrqiuced to the sweet
faced sympathetic teacher, his mother
whispered to him to be brave. Johnny
never said word. His face was white
and his little soul was torn with un-
finching doubts. 1t was all very fine
to be man, but he'd heap rather be
baby again. He heard two sharp
yaps in the street, looked out, and
saw the faithful Biff staring in aston
ishment at the schoolhouse. Joining
laid his head on the desk and sobbed
as If his little heart would break. In
two minutes the desolate boys and
girls in the room were moaning in
sympathy, and Biff outside, catching
the sounds of grief, lifted his head to
the skies and howled in company.
The young teacher stood facing this
panic Of grief, distressed and uncer.

Astronomy asks the little twinkling
star not only what it is, but where ii
is. The spectroscope at the Lick OBJ
servatory has found the distance from
the earth to the nearest fixed star, AL

world so high that its light is four and
a quarter years in reaching us. Since

A new style of addressing letters is
coming into vogue with the growth
Of the rural free delivery service.
Maple Grove, for example, is a small
community to whose postoffice letters
were once sent; now 1t Is on Route
Number Four" the carrier of which
starts out from Oakville, flourshing
center four miles away. Hence "Mr.
John Jones, r. II. d. No. 4, Oakville,"
is common way of addressing this
man, whose home town is still called
Maple Grove. While this system prom.
ises to make the most sweeping
changes of the kind ever brought
about, it is no new thing for the postal
service to employ names different from
those in popular use. 1t will not give
the same name TO more than one place
in a single State, and it avoids two
names that sound alike. Although the
postal service welcomes the use of the
rural delivery designations. its agent,
take just as good care of letter that
is addressed in the old way. The rail
way mail clerk, as long as he know,
that Maple Grove is on one of tn,
routes out of Oakville, will sort hi
letters with that in view, and there
will be no delay. Some Of the posta

ing1y Com bine.

In some States there are county
laws which make 1t obligatory for
those in charge Of the roads to see
that roadside weeds are cut twice dur.
ing the growing season-frst, before
July, and the second time before the
1st of September. 1t would be well
If such a law were in force In all
sections, and yet the fighting Of OBJ
Doxious weeds seems to be one of
those things for which no law should
be required. Farmers ought to be
more than willing to combine among
themselves for mutual protection,
even going 80 far as to cut the weeds
in front Of the farm of any man who
will not do the work himself. This
would not need to be done very often.

Clothes and Eeat.

When we speak Of warm Or cool
clothing we use as absolute metaphor
as when we talk Of the sun going down
or the rosy fingered dawn" Clothes
can communicate neither heat nor cold
to the body. Fur is not warm nor lin
en- cool, except as they serve as con-
ductors for the heat generated by the
body itself. Fur and wool are excel
lent nonconductors Of heat-that IS,
they do not allow the heat Of the body
to escape so easily as some other mate
rials-and the reason why fur is one
Of the poorest conductors Of heat IS
not, as might be supposed, so much be-
cause of its thickness and weight as
because Of the air which is mingled
with or confined between its hbers,
confined air being one Of the most ef-
sectual nonconductors Of heat known.

Again, ia speaking of the tariff, he
says:
"In 1928, the tariff, whether it
benefited the country as whole or
not, unquestionably harmed the
South, and in federal union 1t is
most unwise to pass laws which
shall benefit one part of the COM
munity to the hurt OF another part,
when the later receives no compen-
sation."
In commenting upon the speech
of Clay in defense of protective
tariff, Author Roosevelt says:
"Clay's assertions as to what the
tariff has done for the West were
equally i'll founded, ca Benton
showed in a good speech wherein he
described picturesquely enough tn
industries and general condition of
his portion of the country, aud as
serted, with truth, that it's revived
prosperity was due to its DIVA re-
sources, entirely independent OF
Federal aid or legislation"
No one ever heard Of Theodore
Roosevelt becoming protectionist
until he became the Republican
candidate for Vice-P President and
now as the candidate for President.
And yet he has stood, and will
stand again, upon a Republican
platform pledged to protection as a
principle, aud thoae protettionists
who believe in the sanctity of tariff
schedules and prescribe members of
their own party for advocating any
reasonable modification or change !,
and all those who are waxing rich at
the expense of the people, the pro.
tected classes and the criminal
rich," will be asked to look upon
Theodore Roosevelt as their friend
and protector.
