TREASURER SEED TO RESCUE

State Treasurer Seed. imbued with the Christmas spirit mas arranged things so that every schoool teacher in Alabama will get December sala- ries in time for Christmas shopping instead of waiting until January for the legal payday.
 The word had gone out that the money was not to be paid ahead of time this year, contrary to the GUS tom of years. Heretofore payrolls had been rushed through at Christmas time 50 that the salaries were distributed a week ahead of the strictly legal date of payment. the first Saturday in the next month.
 Bnt this year the treasury funds were low, so low that there is not enough money in the State strong-box at present to pay the teachers for De- cember. It will be there in a week. in time for the legal payday. perhaps. but that Is tooo late for Christmas shopping. So 1t was about settled that the Christmas custom must be fore gone this year.
 But Mir. Seed has been to several seachers' institutes. He says that there will be disappointment among 1000 teachers if the State does not antici- pate pay day by a few days and let them have their money. And rather than have gloom spoil the holidays for them. he decided Saturday that they would be paid ahead of time.
 If there is not enough money in the treasury to meet the. s30o,0o0. or thereabout. to which amount the pay rolls will run. the Treasurer will ask that various county superintendents make acquisitions upon their county tax collectors. as may be done to eke out the allowance from the State treas- ury. In his way. ne hopes. the war rants can be cashed before Christmas day.
 So with the treasury balance and with the supplemental cash from the tax collections. the teachers will be paid. despise the first word that went out that short funds would spoil the Christmas custom.
 That teachers and county superin- tenders Of Alabama desire the payment ahead of time is evidenced by the let ters received ythe State Superin- tendent and by the payrolls which nave been sent in to the State Superintend- ent from eoch county ahead of time. Ordinarily the payrolls come from each county on or about the goth day of the month. and go through the Au- sditorss office, and the Treasury office, so that the money is received by each county superintendent in time for him to pay the salaries on the first Sat- urday of the following month.
 This time. however, more than half the payrolls are already in the heands Of the Auditor, and checks will be sent out by the Treasurer Monday. Other payrolls that come in will be hurried by the Auditors and Treasurer's de- partments, and the teachers will get their money this week

Few things seem more difficult to un- 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 are 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 card-leaving belong exclusively to the feminine element of society. Men are otherwise occupied and have little leisure for visiting. A married man is, there

 THIRD LEssoN-By the use of objects. have the child find how many ones there are n 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 nents 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:
