TESTING THE TEACHER.
A Curious Old School Report Made In
Boston In 1722.

A Curious Old School Report Made In
Boston In 1722.
In the town records Of the city OF
Boston there is a curious passage
which records how schoOlmaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner In which the visit Of inspection
Is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
inle was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d Of May,
1922, 1t is set forth that:
''Coll Pen Townsend. Jeremiah Al
len Esqr, & John Edwards together
with the Select men, vissitted the
wrighting School ut the Southerly End
of Boston on Thursday the oath apll
1922. and Examined the Scholars un-
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Scy-
phering & the masters ability Of teach
ing & Instructing youth his rules &
methods therefore And are of Opinion
That it will be no Service to the Town
to Continue mr. anger In that Employ"
Whereupon 1t was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
tinue master Of the "Said South
school,"
1t is true that nothing is said Of the
methods Of spelling inculcated ut the
"wrighting School," and 1t is also pos
sible that a clerk rather than the com.
mittee was responsible for the errors
Of the record, but there is certainly
something absurd in the passage as 1t
stands.-Exchange.

Here is a story of Wagner's visit

preached him for conducting Bee

At the second concert, to satisfy his

The selection of material for the con-
struction of dwelling house depends pri-
marily upon the amount one is willing to
pay. In spite of all statements, regarding
the advanced cost of lumber, the least ex-
pensive satisfactory dwelling house to-day,
is that built of wood. The infammability
and high cost of maintenance are its chief
objections Wooden houses are quickly
built, are warm and dry.

Used Dolls to Set Fashions.

Long before women's newspapers
we're started, and fashion plates In
their modern form we're thought Of,
women derived their knowledge of the
fashions from dolls dressed in modern
costumes, which were sent from one
country to another, more especially
from Paris, which then, as now, was
the leading center of the mode.

1t may be possible some day to see the

opaque to the ultra violet light and there
