ANSWER

In law a tescher has practically the
same rights While a child is in school
that a parent has while the child Is in
the home, but no teacher or parent
has right to pull the ears of child.
This should never be done as it is
liable to injure the herring.
No thoughtful teacher will call a
child blo3khead" before the
school or at any other time. Such
remarks always lose the respect a
child has for. the teacher, and this the
teacher cannot afford if she wishes
to retain her usefulness as an in e
structor
a child is usually very conscious
OF any physical pecnliariry. Instead
of saying funny things about him, a
teacher could eulist Frank sympathy
and help by noting the fact that red
haired boys are often those who ac.
compllsh large things when they are
men. lou ask what to do about it.
Get acquainted with the teacher as
soon as you can. You will proba.
bly, find her not lacking in sympathy
ana a personal acqua ntance will
cause her to take greater personal
interest IN your children. sur ely she
does not do these things Intentionally.
Teachers are sometimes thoughtless
as well as other people. 1t NAV be
when you have talked with the
teacher you will find that the matter
will sound differently. Children
hear through children's ears and
ottentimes misconstrue matters that
are we'll meant.

Dear Mr.. Editor :

Lear Mr.. Editor:
Can you give me some advice
through your new paperY We like
The School and Home very much but
number of the mothers feel that
they would like to say few words
once in a while. | have NOTED that
the Congress of Mothers has a page in
the magazine, but haven't any time
to belo@g to the new tangled clubs
By the time l get through with my
lousework and my garden, the
chickens, and with getting the
children off to school, it's time to get
dinner for the men. And after din.
ner, | must do my sewing and mend
ing. And with two big boy and three
growing girls, you may know there is
a great deal to do, to say nothing of
the washing and ironing.
But / did not start out to tell you
about my housework. What | want to
know is, has my .Jennie's teacher any
right to pull her ears and call her a
blockhead before the whole school
And do you think it is ladylike for
her to say funny things about Frank s
red hair and freckles? think if
teachers only knew how often they
hurt children's feelings by making
remarks about things the children
can t help. and which make the other
children laugh at them, they would be
more careful
Ny Frank has has declared time and
again that he would run away and go
to work somewhere, if he had to 90
to that teacher. And just have to
beg him for my sake to put up with
it. She is a good teacher In many
other respects, but she just nags that
poor boy nearly to death.
Please tell me what TO do about it.
Mr.. Editor / cannot afford to send
the children to anoher school and il
just worries me dresdfully.
Yours truly,
AN ANXIOUS MOTHER.

Who Makes the Town?

The editor of the paper at Coyle, Okla, asks in large letters, "Who makes the town?" To make a town requires the work of many people. It is surely not the man who earns his wages in the town and then spends his earnings elsewhere; not the farm CT who sells his produce to the home merchant and then takes the money to the express or post office and sends it to the Chicago mail order house for the goods he needs; nor the minis ter who is paid for preaching by the business interests of the place, and spends his spare time in working up grocery clubs for an outside concern. No, brother, these men do not make towns.

"THE WEARING OF THE GREEN"
Good Joke on Official Who Had Pro-
 hibited the Song.

The Wearing of the Green" which Dion Boucicault used to sing in one of his Irish dramas at the old Adelphi theater, was sung for the first time i'll the house of commons last week on the occasion of the dinner given to the colonial premiers by the Irish na- tionalist party, says the Pail Mall Ga zette. It reminds one of the joke practiced by the late Sir William Wilde father of Oscar Wilde) on the then attorney general for Ireland, who had prohibited Boucicault from sing ing this same song when performing in Dublin with his company. It must be remembered that there is no li- censer of plays in Ireland, but the Castle has often put it's foot down in the case of songs with seditious reputation. Shortly afterward Sir William invited Boucicault to dinner to meet "a friend The dramatist came, and sang the terrible tune to the friend, who that morning had of ficially prohibited it at the old The ater Royal, being none other than the attorney general himself.

Size of Central States.

Very few people have correct i'm pression of the size of Central Amer ica as whole or of it's states, taken separately, says a writer in the Re- view of Reviews California seems like large state. It extends ITO miles along the Pacific and has an extreme width of 375 miles, If California were laid end for end on Central America it would cover it with the exception of Salvador. which is just the size of New Jersey and oc- cupies a little over 1000 square miles Stated in another way, if Central America were lifted bodily and laid down on our Atlantic coast it would just hide all New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. In short, it has a combined area of approximately 167,000 square miles Individually, aside from Salvador, al ready mentioned, the states could be compared as follows: Honduras to Pennsylvania, 45,000 square miles Guatemala to Mississippi, 47,000; Mic. aragua to New York, 49,000; Costa Rica to Vermont and New Hampshire 1S,000.

AMUSEMENT FOR THE Roys
scientific Playthings Which Are Not
 Hard to Make.

It is a great wonder to me said ~a oid chemist to Philadelphia Rec oFu man, why more boys do not take N2 chemical experiments as an amuse- heht. Why, l can do things with the common materials of everyday life "hlch really seem to be more magical to the uninitiated than any of the won uers that are ordinarily performed by hlaSlclans on the public stage. Some ol them are so simple that by carry
 Ing them out at parlor entertain lhent bright boy could achieve the reputation of a magician. Now. there are those curious little bubbles of glass known variously as Prince Ru- perts drops and as Dutch tears. ADJ parently they are little globules of Slass with elongated tails made bv heating a small glass rod in flame and allowing the molten drops to fall Into water. After they have cooled you may pound the thick part with a hammer or mallet, yet you cannot break them. On the other hand. if you break a little piece off their tails. or touch any part of them with quartz crystal, they will disappear in to the surrounding atmosphere quicker than snow will melt on a hot fire. To the person who does not know how thls has happened the performance is so astonishing as to seem uncanny."
