The School Children.

Mothers think when they get the
children off TO school, that they have
accomplished that which is required of
them: that the rest belongs to the
teacher. This is a mistake. For the
most part the teachers are conscien-
tious and intend to do all in their pow
er for the good of the children. but
they cannot know what is needed by
the individual child. and If they did
know they would not be able to obtain
1t for them. since they have so many
to deal with. The last decade has seen
the most earnest study and attention
given by educators to better the health
of school childrmen. The ventilation of
the school rooms has been attended to.
the Importance has been recognized of
having the desks adapted to the size of
the child and the relation of the seat
to the desk, so that the child may have
the right position for study, the eyes
not be strained. and that the shoulders
and back not be bent out of position.
Experiments have been made to de-
termine the best print for school books,
that the eyes may not be injured by
looking at letters which are difficult to
see Care is taken to arrange the
seats so that the light will fall properly
upon the books and papers which the
child is studying. Great advance has
been made upon all these lines. Never
theless, the wave Of progress is still
to reach many places. Each mother
should feel 1t her duty TO satisfy her
self that her child has all these advant-
ages. She should visit the school room
and should know that ii Is properly
ventilated, that her child has the right
kind of a desk. and that it takes the
proper positions for study. II the
school rooms provided by those who
have educational matters Of the com
munity in charge are not suitable the
mothers of the neighborhood should
band together TO get the right things.
Too often, especially in country places.
the school affairs are left In the hands
OF a school board. who either have not
much time TO look after such matters
or are ignorant as TO what is needed.

HIS SISTERS IDEA
A College Girl. Outfit.

When a girl starts out for the first
time from home for either boarding
school or college, her wardrobe is
subject of earnest solicitude on her
part and that of her mother Every
mother is anxious that the little out
fl shall be not only pretty and dainty
but appropriate, for older heads realize
far better than younger ones that a girl
may be quite as badly dressed in over
elaborate unsuitable clothes as in plain,
shabby ones. For a young girl the
keynote of good taste in dressing is
simplicity. Let dresses and suits be as
well made as possible and of good
materials, but inconspicuous in color
and style. Be sure that every article
OF clothing is plainly marked with the
full name of the oWner-even the hand
kerchiefs, of which a girl should have
at least two dozen. Rubber stamps
used with indelible ink are excellent for
this purpose, and embroidered tags con-
tanning the full name, like the old
marking letters, can be ordered at al
most any large department store. For
footwear a girl will need a good pair
of walking shoes, a lighter pair of
house shoes. and a pretty pair of slip
pers or pumps for dancing. A pair of
ruDDerS, or course, ana II possible a
pair of high arctics that slip on over
other shoes will pay for themselves
many times over in saving her from
the colds that come from wet ankles
and cold feet.
So much for the foundation. The
problem of dresses and suits is less
easily disposed of. For hard wear and
rainy weather, nothing takes the place
of the short skirt and long coat If
chosen with care one such combination
may be made to serve for all seasons.
Choose a Panama cloth for the skirt
one of those dark blue and green
checks is excellent. Panama is all
wool and warm enough for winter
yet so light in weight that it is per-
fectly comfortable for spring and fall.
For the coat, let me advise against the
granite rain-proof cloth used for rain
coats 1t is light in weight, and poor
looking. A smooth cloth or a rough
frieze is quite as servtceable and will
be much more satisfactory for fair
weather. Have it made loose fitting so
that sweater jacket may be worn
underneath when cold weather demands
greater warmth. With half a dozen
plain shirt waists such a suit will be
found invaluable through every month
! of the school year.

He wet his lips, and his mouth was so
dry that the sound caused the girl to
look up.

as the light struck his face, she started.
