TURNING THE aRINDsToNE"

When | was little boy one cold
winter morning, was accosted by a
smiling man with an AK on his shoul-

said "You are fine little fellow"

will you Just turn few minutes for

went to work and toiled and tugg-
ed till | was almost tired out. The
school bell rang and could not get
away. My hands were blistered and
the ax was not half ground. At length
however it was finished And the
man turned to me and said ''Now you
little rascal you've played truant. Be
of to school or you'll rue it," "Alas
thought tis hard enough to turn a

PAPER -

BY Alma Kile
Paper Is u material made in thin
sheets from pulp Of rags, grass,
straw, wood or other fibers. and is used
| for writing or printing on, or for wrap-
ping. The vegetable substances from
/ which paper can be made are innumer-
able. The best sources OF fiber are
linen and cotton rags for white paper;
and hempen cordage for brown
but rags are no longer available in
u'ticient quantities for paper making
In the paper trade Of the United
States there has been great progress
made in the last half century. The
first mill was established in 1890 on
ground now included within Philadel-
phia In l710 there were 40 paper
mills in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware, and only 3 or ( in New
England. In 1870 there were in the
United States 496 paper mills; and in
1850, there We're 500 producing 90 600

making a0O,0l0 tons At present with
over 900 paper mills having 5000

natures work on their sympathy and
keep their zttention. than by telling
shem a beautifol storyl All these
thing- arr accomplished and the child
sits uncon ssious Of il all and enjoys
the story
Singing is another thing that can
scarcely be overcOne in the Primary

hH; the bcauiifdi little lullabys. After
the full meaning has been explained
the time and expression taught. they
love the little songs and delight in
seeing how perfect they can sing them.
The little motion sonC.. marches, drills
and all those things, brirg about ex-
ceilcnt results
Time, mort time, is the plea Of
nearly every true tescher. Where
can VIC get time to have all these
things in our school. especially the
rural school, where we have from
twenty TO thirty classes a day? This
problem has been solved by a few
states. for the teachers The consoli-
dation Of schools seem to be the only
method. Every district cannot have
a kindergarten and a good High
School. and by consolidationg several
districts the advantages are many and
expense very little, il any, more.
And who are more deserving Of all the
advantages of a good, free educst stiOn
than the children Of the rural schools?
What an opportunity they have Of OBJ
serving fruits, flowers, birds, trees, in
sccts and all these things. II they are
only taught and guided and made in
ierested
kindergarten work in all its phases,
is certainly one Of the grandest things
in the education of the child
One thing more. Are all teachers
to have a special training in Kinder
garicn work? IL seems 10 me that a
teacher should prepare herself for
either high school work. intermediate
work or primary work and their exam
nations should be different and in this
way, each teacher would be better
prepared in her special line of work
and better results in the public schools
would be accomplished.
