THE SCHOOL-OUTSIDE AND IN.
The young teacher has all excellent
opportunity, too, in the matter of
school grounds. Many will accept po-
sitions 10 places where the school and
its surroundings are about the most
forsaken and forlorn looking objects
in the neighborhoOd. A little work on
Saturday or now and then after school
will soon bring the roses to the pale
teachers cheeks and at the same time
work wonders 10 the appearance of the
school grounds

the pare nts who has team and ask
them 10 co operate with you in making
an attractive place for The children
This done, direct operations and have
a layer of good rich dirt and fertilizer
placed On the surrounding grounds; if
sandy, and the soil is already fertile,
have the sod overturned or plowed and
grass seed sown in the autumn or it
may be done during thaw in winter;
then cover with manure. This will
give you in the spring and excellent
grassy and beautlfy lawn. Paths and
walks as we'll as flower beds and flower |
gardens can be arranged in the spring. |
Such Identification will give the
something to think about. L.

they cannot be other than proud of their
school and its surroundings. Again it
will bring all of them into close rela-
5ionship with nature and when there

is at play. TIE great play ground of
the jamestown Exposition has been
named 1.-The War Path" General
Fitzhugh Lee gave it that name and it
is certain that the entertainment to
be furnished by the concessions that
line its dazzling streets will be suffici-
emily exciting to make the name ap
proprlate.
The War Path occupies beautiful
space fronting upon the military parade
ground and is 1,2SS feet long by 730
feet in width. There was two parallel
streets separated by central block on
both sides of which are concessions
thus making total frontage of more
than a mile including the bazaar at
either end. The streets are eighty feet
wide and paved with brink. An arcade
covered by a glass dome which at night
will be aflame with lights divides the
central block into two equal parts and
makes a convenient passage way be-
tween the streets.
A miniature elevated railroad runs
along three sides of the War Path af-
fOrding rapid and cheap transpOrta
tiOn as we'll as a charming aud compre.
hensive view of this great city of mirth.
The main entrance is flanked by the
American and the Oriental bazaars
which open upon plaza It's feet wide
by 700 feet in length on all sides of
which will be hanging garden. There
will be, of course, scenic railway, a
shoot the chutes and other familiar
but for the most part the
concessions will be new and many of
them sensational. Among the good
things thus far secured are Paul

tor and the Merrimac. 1.-THE Haunted
Castle, 1.-The Pyramids of Egypt. ~
The Swiss Village '"Tea Garden of
Old Japan, ""Beautiful Orient, etc.,
and most elaborate representation of
"Fair Japan.'
There will be also number of unique
musical attractions to vary the spec.
tacular program and some panoramic
concessions almost stupenGous. Tue
"War Path" will be at it's best at night
when the light effects will make it a
veritable dreamland of brilliancy and
