to be almost strangled by smoke.
She quickly summoned Mr.. Hoffnei
and then went to the telephone. In
a short time many willing hands were
at work and the fire was extinguish-
ed. A very great deal of damage
was done. The furnishings OF one
Of the rooms were entirely ruined
and quite a bit Of clothing. 1t is
fortunate for the Hoffners that
there was not a strong wind or their
home would certainly have been de-

his house repaired and some building
done, and they were Just nicely set
tied. Now they will have 1t all to
do over, but they are thankful things

children in Urbana, Champaign.
Bloomington. Danville and in some OF
the normal schools of the state have
been tested to determine certain con-
ditions under which they learn most
advantageously. One of the questions
asked in these Investigations has been
this: Suppose the child is given some
thing to learn and is asked to recall 1t
later on. under what conditions during
the interval between learning and re-
call will his memory be most reten-
tive? The data obtained has been SO
extensive that 1t has not been COM
pletely worked over as yet Some
very interesting conclusions. how
ever. have been reached-among these
this, that writing serves as great
distraction and that the child can re-
call material better when the interval
is filed with such a strenuous ACTIVITY
as number work, than when 1t Is
filed with the writing of some famil-
lar nhrase, as MY Country, It's or
Tbee" The greater distracting ten
dencv of writing than of other school
occupations shows itself particularly
In tho lower grades. 1t has also been
found out that when young chlldreh
are required to learn by keeping per-
fectly still they are at disadvantage.
If vou wish to have the child learn I'M
der the most disadvantageous condi-
tions. require that child to keep per-
fectly still.

of Illinois clearly show that oral COM

1t doubtless makes a good deal
of difference just what sort of i'm
agery the school child uses in
memorizing his material. as to
whether the best results are to
be obtained or not and 1T is obvi-
ously important that the teacher
should know the character of this
imagery II he is to deal adequate
ly with the pupil. The results of
the experiments by the depart
ment of psychology at the Univer-
sity Of Illinois clearly indicate
that most children in the begin
ming grades of the school think
predominantly in terms of OBJ
jects seen, that is, they possess
concrete visual imagery and prob
ably, to a certain extent, also con-
crete auditory and motor imagery
as well. Later on this concrete
form of imagining dies out. They
think in terms of words and the

words becomes dim and obscure.

tory arbitration avoids riots and blood
shed, and the loss of lives, millions OF
dollars, and the destruction of property.
The people there realize that compulsa-
tory arbitration is beneficial to both
sides, and they respect the others rights.
In doing this 1t eliminates bad blood and
discussions.
New Zealand has successfully and prac-
tically demonstrated to the commercial
world that these statutes touching labor
have been a success, and this is fully
demonstrated by the fact that there are
no idle wheels in mill or factory by reason
of strikes or lockouts.
In New Zealand such state of affairs
as the recent shirtwaist strike in New
York could not exist for the reason that

mands known. IL their claim is just and
right, The decision of this court of ar

tory of It till we began in 1858. You know
how our great dictionary started. In No
vember 1858, Trench wrote us a paper on
the duty of making supplement to the
dictionaries of Johnson and Richardson.
Herbert Coleridge. a grandson of the
poet, came forward and said, IT should
like to take part in this" The question
was who was to work with him. I re-
fused absolutely, on which Watts, who
was head of the book department in the
British museum, reminded me that | was
secretary of the society, and that if, I.
was asked to do thing it was my duty
to. do it, so We began. We went on for
about a year and half, and then L said
People who want word will first look
at Johnson and then at Richardson and
then at ours. Why not amalgamate 1t
and have one dictionary" / communi-
Gated my ideas to Trench. He said, 'Tt is
a very fine idea if you can carry it out,
but do not think you cam So we went
on collecting words. Nobody would come
forward and take up the dictionary until
Macmillan said, IF you can put it into
four volumes I Will We all said it would
havefto be in eight or ten volumes. We
had got the first volume out in 1872. We
got a fine subscription for it, The Sec

Subscriptions had begun dropping off,
and Oxford was losing heavily. We
could not go much quicker because we
had to strain English literature through
a sieve to get the first appearance of a
word its history and when it died. and
to get all the various shades of meaning.
1t was tremendous job. We got sew
eral millions of slips and over thou
sand contributors and we have put a
great deal into the dictionary which is
really the first in the world. Everybody
who is using words really ought to know
something of the words he uses. If we
had only started with three editors the
book would have been out now. Oxford
wanted to be economical and pay for the
dictionary out of the profits of the Bibles.
Science men wanted the profits for
scientific research. The book is beated
and will probably take eight years more.
What | want them to do is to have
supplement and bring it out up-to-date

Customers and Earnings Per Customer
Electric Department

As the number of customers in our electric depart
ment has increased in the last seven years
per customer has decreased You might think this
a strange condition, for many consumers will i'm
medately argue that their bills are larger than
they used to be- and that they more and larger
lights than formerly.
But few take into consideration the fact that
have many customers whose monthly bills usually
confined to the minimum, $1.25-peope living in the
outlying districts where extensions have to be long
and where the consumption of current is small. Biz
mingham has much territory that is scattered and
sparsey settled that we have unusually large num-
Der of such customers, who naturally pull down our av
erage revenue per customer to the limit And it seems
that the larger Birmingham grows the greater number
of non profitable customers we have
Then another fact has figured largely in the re
duction OF our revenue per customer. The lntroduc
ton of improved lights and electric appliances such
the Tungsten lamp, have tended to reduce the average
bill The Tungsten uses only about 40 per cent as much
current the carbon fment lamp and gives the
amount of light, which is equivalent to reduction Of
60 per cent in the electric light bill wherever the Tung
stem has been installed. But want customers
to get the best service, and therefore have urged
the of the Tungsten, although knew in advance
that it would serve to reduce
An important item, too, is brought to light when it
is realized that the small customer requires practically
the investment that the large consumer does
