only aerial craft of any value to the army
and the possibilities Of aerial navigation
we're believed to be restricted to signal
purposes.
The success Of aviation week at Rheims,
France, during which the practicability OF
~aeroplanes was so fully demonstrated has
been an important factor in determining
the course Of the signal corps. At present
the army has in it's possession the Baldwin
dirisible, purchased last year, and one of
the Wright aeroplanes, in addition to per-
fectly equipped sheds,
What the signal corps will ask of con-
gress during the next session will depend
entirely upon the final analysis of the va
rious aviation contests scheduled to take
place within the next two months and upon
the reports to be made by military attaches
at foreign capitals where activity in aero,
nautics is a factor.
Several conclusions have been reached by
the signal corps experts as a result of re
cent events. 1t has been determined that
the construction Of a motor balloon OF the
Zeppelin type, the most successful of the
lighter than air craft, would involve an
expense far in excess of It's value to the
army at the present stage in the develop
ment of military aeronautics. The failure
of Wellman's balloon, the collapse of the
Clement-Bayard, and the signal corps own
unfortunate experiences with the army
motor balloon No. l, a all tended to
strengthen the opinions OF army officers in
favor of aeroplanes.
General James Allen, the chief signal
officer, is contemplating the issuance Of
new specifications for another heavier than
air machine to be based upon the conclu-
sion reached by General Allen and the off,

Books Of problems by grades" from
the first to the ninth, may be obtained
from any publisher of school books.
During this time of teaching, educa-
tional money, sold by all dealers in
school supplies, may be used in little
games of marketing, keeping store, and
so on, providing both amusement and
instruction for the child, so that at the
close of the school year he can readily
recognize all money up as high as one
| dollar, and can make change.
Telling time, so far as the hour and
| the half, should also be taught
In teaching number, it must be borne
in mind that you cannot cram numbers
into a child. Each step must be res-
soned out Employ every device of
which you can think, read or hear, to
assist the child in reasoning out these
simple problems for himself He thus
gains accuracy, concentration, seif-con-
hdence and greater power in reasoning.
Drawing
This may be given as amusement the
first year in illustrating the stories they
learn or read. You know in a child's
mind a straight mark represents a horse
to the life. The Imagination is thus
stimulated, and a knowledge of form
comes almost unconsciously.
Weaving and Sewing Cards
These two devices may be used to
keep the little folks quiet and teach
them form and color. The material
may be obtained from any dealer in
kindergarten materials, or from the
large department stores.

at first, then faster and faster until they
pronounce the word. This is the first
step in teaching the child to find out the
words for himself
FIFTH DAY-Teach two new words,
and give a general review of words
(script and PRINT, sentences and sounds
of letters.
Continue this until at the end of the
month they thoroughly know thirty
words.
The second and third months, teach
them three new words each day, keep
ing up drill and instruction in phonics,
and the fourth month four new words
may be given each day.
The child is by this time ready to have
regular lesson assigned him, to study
out for himself.
Number Work
FIRST LEssoN-In the first lesson, find
how high the child can count correctly,
and see if he understands two, and three
as a whole
Use all Of this period in having him

Write "cat" several times, interspers-
ing other, unknown words Give one
child the pointer, and allow him to
point out the word "cat" wherever he
can find it. Next, give him a colored
crayon, and have him underscore it IN
til he makes a mistake, when the crayon
is given to the other child.
Now write, II see a cat" II see a
man." 81 see a boy" Il see an apple"
(picture this instead of writing, as il
gives variety, while the child recog-
nizes so few words, and it aids him in
learning the first words in the sentence,
as well,)

tence he knows This is not to bring
out the new words, but to teach the
child to distinguish known from un-
known words Used in every sentence,

learned unconsciously
Use pictures instead of the words a
part OF the time. A leaf, ball, ring,
box, house, chair, book, tree and flag
are easily pictured and add interest to
the lesson.
Drill on the given sentence for the re-
naming time of the days lesson.
SECOND DAy-Teach two new words
in the same way that "cat" was taught
in the first lesson. Introduce "cat" in
print Have the children find it in books.
etc
THIRD DAY-Teach the latest two
words in print, review work previously
given, and teach one new word
FOURTH DAY-Review, and give them
the hard (''k") sound of c, with the
proper marking. Give the sound your
self &c as in cat). Have them sound it
alone several times. Then sound it in
the word Scat"

the letter for them. Now give them the
sound of the It" Drill on the separate
sounds for three minutes. Then give
them in their proper order, very slowly

afterwards. Life is too complicated.
cities are too enormous in extent, friends
and acquaintances live too many miles
apart to make it possible to do more
Visiting cards are engraved from a
plate, never printed and never written.
Nothing would SAVIOR more of ignorance
or provincialism than a written card.
Engraved plates are not expensive, and
there is no excuse for not having one,
nor is there any excuse for not provid-
ing ones self with a good supply of
cards. If one allows the quantity to
diminish there is anxiety and the annoy
ing delay of several days in waiting to
have a hundred cards struck off from
ones plate.
Plain cards of fine quality, unglazed,
are used. Script or Roman letters are in
favor. Old English letters are some
times preferred. The name is in full
and always with prefix, thus:
Mrs. William Henry Johnson.
The street address is engraved in smaller
letters of similar style, and in the lower
right-hand corner of the card. If one
has a day for being at home, it is en-
graved in the lower left-hand corner,
simply thus: Fridays. The hour is not
given on a card to be used when visit
ing, as it is understood that visits are
only made after three o'clock In
smaller towns. however, the custom is
sometimes followed of being very ex-
plicit in stating, Fridays. after three
o'clock. This admits of no error as to

many women. Roman letters are, OF
necessity, used on small cards, as they

tardv and very lax in showing proper
attentions, and where an attitude of self
respect must be maintained by one who
has been too long neglected; but, as a
general rule, it is sensible not to be too
ceremonious in these matters, not to
exact too much in the very busy world
of society
One is obliged to call after an invita-
ton to dinner, luncheon, home we'd
ding, card party or theater party The
reason is that invitations of this sort
are especially personal. They are not
invitations to general affairs, or issued
to general acquaintance. Church we'd
dings, teas OF large receptions may be
classified under general affairs. A
church IS ample enough in size to hold
very large number of persons. Gen
eral acquaintance may be hidden to a
church wedding, and they may be pres
ent or not, as they please. In aclnowl-
edgment of the invitation, guests send
cards on or after the day OF the wedding
to those in whose name the invitation
was issued and TO the newly-married
pair, and their duty is done If in
doubt as to what may be the new home
address of the bride, it is always safe to
send the cards to the home OF her
parents, who will see, as a matter of
course, that the cards are forwarded.
These very obvious points are explained
herein because they are often puzzling
to the inexperienced.
On the occasion of a tea or reception
a hostess sends cards and opens her
house to her general list of friends She
notifies them by these cards the day and
hour when they may find her at home
They are not obliged to go, although
they should make the effort to do so.
They can have but a word of greeting
and parting with the hostess, but this
counts as a call Duty is fulfilled. Cards
are left, so that a hostess may not for
get those who were present and may
give them credit for coming If impos-
sible to attend. it is proper to send cards
on the day of the tea. A call is not due

using the words Tess" and equals"
with small children) Illustrate this
once more, having the child formulate
the statement Then have the child illus
trate it for himself, and himself for
mulate the statement that ~, take away

THIRD LEssoN-By the use of objects,
have the child find how many ones there
are in two. Then how many twos there
are in two. Be content to go slowly.
Be thorough. Let the child find out
things for himself It will please him
better, and the knowledge thus gained
will stay with him. Let him reason out
and formulate for himself the state
ments of fact rather than repeat one
made by you.
Give simple problems, and have the
child picture them out with the objects
at hand For instance:
If Jack planted one bean, and then
planted one more, how many beans did
he plant all together?
There were two peas in pod. If one

tiYated from the beginning.
FOURTH LESSON - Take the NUMBER
three as the basis of this lesson.
Illustrate: Il and I and are g." Get
the child first to count them. then to
make the statement. Now give a simple
problem.
Jessie has one apple in her hand, one
in her basket, and one in her pocket.
How many apples has she?
The next step will be to teach ? and
are 8.
Drill on the combinations of three /;
and of two as a review.
FIFTH LEsSoN-Review previous work,
teach the child to count one more than
he already knows, each day
Give the fact that there is one 2 in
three, and I left over Have the child
illustrate, by separating two peas from
the one, the whole number making

and wooden toothpicks, and copy of

which the child will eventually enter.
This may be obtained from State
Superintendent of Public Instruction, or,
if a city school, from the city superin-
tendent, for ten cents. 1t will tell you
what textbooks to use, how much in each
branch child is expected TO learn, be-
side giving many little hints which aid
in the practical work in teaching.
Methods

bination of the three methods of teach
ing reading are better than any one

which cost two cents each. How many

People have settled down TO
their town life and to the gen.
eral round of social duties, occupations
and amusements Duties may be placed
first, because they loom up largely in
the world of society, and must be ful-
filed if one would sustain ones reputa-
ton for politeness and keep in touch
with friends and acquaintance. There
are obligations which we owe and must
respect
1t may be duty to entertain little
in return for the Inequalities of others.
If so, we must be particular about send
ing out invitations well in advance, In
order to secure the guests
Although the most formal invitations
are engraved, there is no objection to
writing an invitation, provided these
rules are followed: Note paper of best
quality must be used. Words must be
carefully spaced. Names must be writ
ten on separate lines. Invitations for
evening parties are in the name of host
and hostess. For day occasions, except
weddings, they are in the name of host
esS alone. 1t is not in good taste to
write initials in an invitation For in
stance, 1t is not correct to write, Mrs.

Mrs. T. W. Browns company" The
form is:

Language
The language lessons for the first
year should be entirely oral, and the fol-
lowing year mostly copying.
Spelling
Spelling should be written and should
not be commenced until the fifth month.
Writing
Give the child one word at a time
to copy at the end Of the first month,
and keep adding a new, but not un-
known, word now and then, until the
latter forms have been mastered.
Above all, be very patient with your
pupils Pear in mind, the result should
be ability to learn more and not merely
so much

Few things seem more difficult to tn
derstand by the uninitiated than the
reason why married woman leaves her
husbands cards with her own, and how
many she leaves and for whom they gre
left People in small towns think that it
is almost against the conscience to leave
the cards of anyone who is not a per-
sonal visitor, or they fear that they ap-
pear affected. To begin with, the idea
is that formal visiting and the privileges
of csrd-leaving belong exclusively to the
feminine element of society. Men gre
otherwise occupied and have little leisure
for visiting. A married man is, there
fore, more or less exempt from formal

Il FIRST LESSONS AT HOME -

No lesson should exceed fifteen min
utes, but two or even three lessons in
reading and one in numbers may be
given each day for FIVE days in the week.
Know what you are going to teach be-
fore you begin Successful work can
not be done otherwise.
Script is taught first Print is "the
word in a new dress" This appeals to
the childs imagination, as well as assists
his memory.
Take up reading and number at first
Writing and written spelling should be-
gin about the fifth month.

visiting, and the understanding is that
his wife shall leave his cards as a cour-
tesy with her own in a formal call, or
the first call of the season.
AS a general rule, therefore, a woman
leaves two of her husbands cards with
one of her own. Her card is intended
for the lady on whom she is calling, her
husbands cards are for the hostess and
her husband. If there are grown-up
daughters in a family a woman leaves
one of her cards for them and one of
her husbands cards. The rule OF good
taste is that one would not leave more
than three of ones cards and three Of
ones husbands cards at a house.
