The School
JOHN WRIT DIEsMoRR. Editor
Problems of the District School.

NN00NNNNo " AUo gtoGigA 9GWO0le
The last two chapters furnished an
outline for the formal opening of the
term. The second day should see
the school fairly established.
AT the close of the first day the
teacher should spend some time in
reviewing everything that had been
done, noticing any mistakes or omis.
sions on his part and making such
changes in the preliminary program
as seems wise. Considerable study
should be put upon the daily pro
gram. Each study should have its
rightful share Of time both for pre-
paration and recitation and no more.
Suppose there are 800 minutes Of
actual working time in day, and a
pupil has in all six studies, say read
ing, arithmetic, language, geography.
spelling and writing. Reading, twice
a day, for study and recitation sixty
minutes; arithmetic, fifty minutes;
geography, fifty minutes; language,
fifty minutes; writing or drawing,
thirty minutes; spelling, thirty min
utes. AT least twice as much time
should be given to the study of a
lesson as to its recitation. The above
leaves sixty minutes unaccounted FOR.
They may be occupied in general ex-
ercises as follows: Twenty minutes
for opening exercises Fifteen in the
morning and five after dinner; ten
for rest periods; ten for calisthenics;
ten for nature study and ten for
closing exercises.
If there are three grades or divi.
sions in the school this would be
about the right schedule for the
middle division, and will answer as a
working model for the first and third.
The next question to consider may
be the order in which the various
studies should come. The morning
hours are the best for study and the
most important work should be given
then. 1t is not always the most diff
fcult work that is the most important.
One will study a thing that is difficult
if he likes il even when he is tired.
1t is easier to write out the solutions
of arithmetic problems on slate or
paper than it is to get a history geo
graphy or grammar lesson. Lessons
like writing, drawing or spelling
often prove restful after hard mental
labor on other branches.
The last thirty or forty minutes
before noon and again before dismis-
sal in the evening are the poorest
parts Of the day, when pupils grow
impatient. They should then have
something at which they like to work
and that does not require very close
application.
Having made up your mind what
studies are most important, what
most difficult, and what the easist
you arrange your program according
ly.
Having your program carefully and
wisely made can you live up to it
yourselfY Many teachers fail in not
being able to live up to their own
schedules. II the teacher fails no.
thing need be expected of the pupils.
The only way to succeed is to live
up to the standards you set for your
self. Then you can hope to keep
others to their duty.

BURNING HUGE PILE OF COTTON
Sixty Bales Go Up 10 Flames AS Re-

Shawnee. Okla, Jan. 3. - Several
thousand dollars worth of cotton, es-
timated at 60 bales, gathered together
in a huge pile in the little town of
Asher. in the southern part of Potta-
wattomie county. furnished a huge
bonfire with which to greet the New
Year The fire was the result of a BAN
tering joke, which spread rapidly
throughout the community. The joke
soon became reality. and nearly every
farmer around Asher contributed of
his surplus cotton to add to the bon
fire. One man gave two bales. many
others a bale each, while load after
load Of seed cotton went to swell the
pile

v,,auWICK MET
WIFE in JAIL
Both Broke Down and Wept For
Several Minutes.
TRUST NE, TRUST ME, SHE CRIED

Cleveland. O., Jan. 2.-Unheralded
and unembarrassed by the crowds at
the depot the coming of DR.. Leroy
Chadwick was in striking contrast
with the arrival here of his wife few
weeks ago. Scarcely any of the few at
the station knew of the party, and the
Sheriff and DR.. Chadwick were quickly
driven to the county Jail, where DIR.
Chadwick was registered as man
against whom the law has suspicion,
but the record was not made part
of the records at once. A bond provided
Saturday evening by Attorney Virgil
p. Cline and Attorney Dawley was
ready at the Jail on the arrival of DR..
Chadwick, and he was soon released.
After the preliminaries in the sher-
IFS Office, DR.. Chadwick was escorted
by Sheriff Barry to the fourth floor Of
the womens ward, where his wife Is
held a prisoner. The meeting between
the two was pathetic in the extreme.
Mrs. Chadwick arose when she heard
the steps in the corridor and fell into
her husbands arms when she recog-
nized him. Both broke down and wept
convulsively for several minutes, while
clinging to each other, the sheriff at
tempting meanwhile TO console them.
DR.. Chadwick has lost his all in the
operations of his wife. and the large
Independent fortune of his only child
has been swept away Sufficient reason,

ness on his part. Mrs. Chadwick tried
to Undue him with the thought of her
innocence of any wrong-doing. His
only response to these pleas was Il
hope So"
The troubles into which both have
been plunged were thoroughly dis
cussed The wife told the story, inter-
spersed by violent fits of weeping. in
which at times DR.. Chadwick joined.
There were no apparent evasions. but
there was a constant cry of Trust mel

Don't believe these stories which the
newspapers have been printing about

every one of them. have done nothing
