than one great foreign writer has fallen
into the error Of believing the Italian
character to bo profoundly complicated.
One Is apt to forget that 1t needs much
deeper duplicity to maintain an appear
ance Of frankness under trying circum.
stances than to make mystery Of ones
marketing and profound secret of ones
cookery. There are few things which the
poor italian more dislikes than to be
watched when he is buying and preparing
bis food, though he will ask any one to
share 1t with him when 1t Is ready, but he
Is almost as prone to hide everything else
that goes on inside his house unless he has
fair warning of a visit and full time to
prepare himself for it.
This is perhaps not entirely race pecul-
iarity, but rather q survival Of medieval
life as 1t was all over Europe. There are
pretty clear Indications In our own liters-
ture that the ladies and gentlemen Of two
or three hundred years ago did not like to
be caught unprepared by inquisitive visit
ors. The silks and satins in which they
are portrayed would not have lasted life
time, as they did, II they had been worn
vvery day. AS for the cleanliness Of those
times, the less said about it the better.
In Rome there was long per1od during
which not single aqueduct was in work
Ing order, and it was trade to clear q sup
ply of water out of the Tiber from q por-
tion of the yellow mud by letting 1t settle
In reservoirs, and to sell 1t in the streets
for all household purposes. Who washed
In those dayst It Is safer to ask the ques'
ton now than 1t would have been then.
Probably those persons washed who were
the fortunate owners Of house we'll or .

much the same all over Europe. 1t is Ger.
tainly to the credit of Trastevere that 1t 10

Meeting Of School Improvement
Association.

On last Saturday Miss Mary T..
Nance, President of the Association of
Rural School, and State Superinten-
dent of Education Mr.. o. B. Martin
met a number of the county teachers
and other citizeus at the court house to
discuss rural school improvement.
Miss Nance was the first speaker. In
the pursuance of her duties az presi-
dent Of the association, Miss Nance
has become more thoroughly acquaint-
ed with conditions in our rural schools
than probably any one else In the
State, and out of this rich experience
and her unbounded zeal she talks most
interestingly and intertainingly on the
subject.
Mr.. d. B. Martin made straight
open talk on the conditions, showing
that there is great room for improve
ment and that the time is ripe for q
revolution in rural school matters.
Owing to the severe weather small
attendance greeted the speaker. No
move was made to inaugurate q society
here at this time. Miss Nance will re-
turn sometime in March and will en-
desvor to start the work going here
then.
