The discovery of new wick principle-so
effective and yet simple that it's a wonder
no thought of it before-has revolu-
tionZed the manufacture of oil heaters and
lamps that explosions, smoke and smell,
caused by imperfect wick arrangement. may
safely be regarded things of the past.
This new wick attachment is to be found
on the Perfection Oil Heater. Interesting
tests show that, although the heater gives
intense heat, the wick cannot be turned too
high or too low-absolute safety thus being
assured. One other feature which is worthy
of mention is the smokeles device which pre-
vents all smoke and odor. The portability
of the heater also commends it for general
be easily carried about. Its simple opera
tion, usefulness in heating water and warm
ing cold rooms make it most handy and
useful article in any home. This heater Is so
far superior to other oil heaters, and Is of
such fair price that its universal adoption is
but matter of time.
The Rayo Lamp, which is made by the
manufacturers of the Perfection Oil Heater,
is without doubt the best lamp for all-round
household use. Is equipped with the latest
improved burner, and gives bright, steady
light at small cost. Suitable for any room,
whether library, dining-room, parlor or bed
room.
The Perfection Oil Heater and the Rayo
Lamp form a combination that for real home
comfort cannot be equalled. When considera-
ton is taken of the simple operation of both
heater and lamp. their absolute safety the
intense heat generated by the one, and the
bright and steady light given bv the other
all without smoke smell-their value in
any home. large or small can be somewha at
appreciated. Sold by all good dealers.

ease that science has been able to cure in all

known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease requires con-

A Pleasant School Visit,

BEL AIR. Nov. &c Recently in accor.
dance with the provisions of our county
superintendent, Mr. Wright, | enjoyed
the privilege of a professional visit to the
Havre de Grace High School, The day
was one of great pleasure and profit. 1t
was highly gratifying to enter another
| school and to observe the work done
! there, to compare notes, and to exchange
opinions with the efficient corps of
teachers earnestly Iaboring for the cause.
1t has unfying effect upon the teachers
who are privileged to enjoy such reci-
procity, and cannot but result in better
work and more resolute purpose on the
part of teachers thus privileged.
Perhaps more than by anything else l
was impressed by the admirable spirit to
be found among the pupils. At their
seats and in class seriousness of pur-
pose seemed to pervade this work. Their
attitude seemed to be voluntary, though
it was supported by firm encouragement
on the part of the teachers. And that is
very necessary where young blood is
normal; and it serves its purpose we'll
when it does not suppress the child's
nature and yet brings him to a realiza-
ton of why he is in school.
Order was the key note. Even as they
passed over the floors of the building.
the pupils betrayed the spirit that domi-
mated them as body. This wholesome
spirit was to be found all the way up
through the school 1t was evidently
the fruit of discipline that was begun
early and maintained up into the high
school department. 1t goes without
saying that when an atmosphere of this
kind is once a fact the teacher is able
to accomplish his most effective work
in teaching. And of excellent results
there is every evidence in the Havre de
Grace school. In the High School de-
partment an eagerness to know was
characteristic of the pupils. Aparticular
aptitude to especially efficient work in
mathematics was striking, fostered by
the able attention given to the subject by
the principal, MIR. Coulburn. Yet here, if
| were to make any criticism in the midst
of so much that saw that was good, l
would be inclined to think that the science
of mathematics tends to be emphasized
to the prejudice of other fields of study.
The tendency is towards development
of the cold, practical nature Of the child
at the expense of the human sensibilities.
Such a tendency, however, would be
easy where there is no employment ofthe
department System" Itwould be per-
fectly natural for teacher to over-em-
phasize his speciality. My observation
confirms my faith in the department
SYSTEM" that it should be employed
wherever practical and as far as practical
when the size of the school warrants.
A teachers speciality is taught with en-
thusiasm. The pupil who goes to such
n teacher must of necessity imbibe of
that enthusiasm. Results cannot but
surpass.
My final word must be in appreciation
of the hearty kindness with which the
Havre de Grace teachers entertained me.
In particular do owe much of the profit.
ableness of my visit to the principal,
Mr.. Coulburn. The day was one to be
remembered long.
