The evolution of the village high
school is one of the most marked
features of the educational history of
the country of the past fifty years, TAX
ing the place as it does of the old
academy in which our grandfathers
were educated Now colleges and uni
versities have come to look to the
high school as their main source Of

One OF the first essentials of high

books the work of the high school is
greatly hampered. but with them pu.
pills acquire the reading habit. become
acquainted with the standard works OF
great authors, and gain mental
strength and independence by self
study. There is nothing like library
to teach young people the love for
good books, one of the prime essen
tials of all instruction.
Allied to the library is the labora-
tory. No high school is complete
without apparatus for the proper
teaching of physics, biology, and bot
any. We mention physics first be-
cause it is first in Importance. With
out physical apparatus time spent in
the study of physics, if not entirely
wasted, could be much more advan-
tageously used in the study of mathe-
matics or of the languages. Fortu-
nately for the small high school the
inventive spirit of the age has done as
much in educational as in other de-
partments and dor comparatively
small sum the high school may be
fairly we'll fitted out for the study ol
the sciences.
After these essentials, which every
high school must have to do good work
may be mentioned what may be call
ed the ornamental part of the high
school equipment-pictures, piano
busts. 1t is true that school may dc
without such equipment, but they ado
much to the pleasure and enjoyment
of the pupils. Artistic furnishing:
have a great influence on the charac
ter of young people and the move
ment towards school decoration which
has spread over the country in the las
ten years demands that every schoo
give some attention to the aesthetic
side OF the child.
Such, then, is hasty summary o.

every community which aspires tc
good schools should make a begin

the question will be asked, will 3

Over-Feedinx PuIIets.

Those who are having their first ex-
perience with a flock of pullets of con-
siderable size should remember that
the birds, having been brought up on
the range during the summer, are more
impatient of restraint than the older
birds. Hence it is essential that they
be handled so they will obtain the
maximum amount of exercise in the
winter quarters. Probably this is bet
ter done by some intelligent care in
feeding than in any other way. let
che pullet have one good meal during
the day, arranging this at any period
which seems best after. experimenting
for the rest of the day keep her busy
by frequently scattering small guam
titles of grain among the chaff on the
floor or in the yard If the weather is
sufficiently open.
Manage it so that each pullet will
be fairly well fed during the day !;
there is little danger of over-feeding
by this plan, 50 that care must be taken
that they have enough. Furnishing ex-
ercise In this manner gives the best
possible results for the pullets will
take it in the search for food when
they could not be induced to half the
moving around if their appetities were
already satisfied Be careful to use
small grains in this manner Of feed
ing, wheat being probably the best for
the purpose.

Double Barn windows.

Except In the warm South the win
dows of every barn should be fitted
with an extra covering of wood. In
other words, a shutter of wood hinged
on the outside and swinging in to be
hooked on the inside. If the frame
will not permit of this, have it any
way, and use a button on the outside.
One scarcely realizes how much warm
er the barn win be for the cows and
horses with this double window, and
the cost is not great. In some cases
a double window of glass will answer
the purpose and be more ornamental,
but in cold locations a curtain of bur-
lap should be used on the coolest
nights. In addition to fixing the win
dows as described above, go over the
barn wall and stuff newspapers be-
tween the cracks of the boards.
Have some corner of the barn where
a window of a size according to the
number of animals In the barn can be
placed which will be open most of the
time to give as nearly perfect ventila-
ton as possible, or have some plan
which is as applicable to the large
building as the small one While the
barn should be made comfortable, re-
member that the health of the animals
requires perfect ventilation, or as near
ly perfect as one can get it

Value Of Steel Rods in Fishing


The steel rods, so much in vogue
for boat fishing, and the oldest of them
not dating back much more than
two decades, have their merits and
demerits. Theoretically they should
be splendid for casting. But, in fact,
for some obscure reason, they have
a strange lack of the whip" quality
that filings the line far, accurately,
and lightly. This all but disqualifies
them for trout On the other hand,
their wonderful stree 9Th and power
in bend make them when of good
quality-fine rods for boat fishing.
They tire a four-pOund black bass in
half the time of their rivals in BAN
boo or Lakewood, and take up slack
with strong, automatic action that
saves many a big fish Their worst
trait is the hidden flow which no eye
can detect in the buying, and which
may part the rod at the first Gays
fishing. / have a steel rod now six
teen years old, tested ON hundreds OF
big bass, and which has broken but
once, and then by corrosion, which a
little watehfulness would have cured.
On the other hand, another steel rod
of mine has broken four times within
the last eighteen months, two tips
parting in the same number of days
and both in striking small fish. But
if each steel rod carries thus an in
visible lottery ticket, the price FOR
the risk is not high; and the graceful
and invariable curve which never sue
cumbs to wind, weather, or exposure
ON fresh water-lends the steel rod
a special charm that partly offsets its
considerable infrmities of temper
