With the opening OF the public

departure from the ordinary In the
work of three intermediate grades

high school the work of these grades
will follow the departmental plan.
one teacher viii have charge of the
language work in all of these grades,
another of the spelling, etc The
fact that these grades are all seated
on the same floor gives ideal condi-
tions for making the plan a success.
Where II has been tried in Texas, 1t
has been a pronounced success The
work has been improved in every
way, ard children entering the high
school have been much better pre-
pared TO prosecute their studies there.
Why shouldn't this be true? 1t
stands 10 reason that teacher can
do more thorough work in one sub
Ject than she can possibly do where
she is compelled to teach half a dozen
subjects
This argument alone is enough to
convince the most skeptical. The
The departmental method has been
eminently successful in the high
schools everywhere. Why should it
not be equally as successful in the
intermediate grades? With the

pills and patrons, the school manage

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the car There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamcd condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachan Tube.
when this tube is inhamed you have a
rumblng sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but
