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 child. Each step must be rea-
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, self-con-
fidence 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 child's
mind a straight mark represents 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.

tardy 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 toe
ceremonious in these matters, not tc
exact too much in the very busy world
of society.
One is obliged to call after an invita-
ton to a 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 or 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 acknowl-
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 70 the newiy-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 word of greeting
and parting with the hostess, but this
counts as a call. Duty Is fulfilled Cards
are left, so that 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

layer of bread. Cover with a Gus
tard made with one quart of milk,
three or four eggs, half a cupful of
sugar and a pinch of salt Pour it
slowly over the bread and let it stand
for half an hour. Bake in a moderate
oven about one hour Serve with or
without cream and sugar.
Date Dessert
Put layer of fresh cottage cheese in
a glass dish and sprinkle with a little
cream to make slightly moist. Over this
place a layer of chopped dates mixed
with one-third the amount of chopped
nut meats. Dust lightly with grant
lated sugar, put in another layer of the
cheese, then one of dates, and finish
with a rather thick layer of the cheese
made slightly moist with cream.
Sprinkle with sugar and garnish with .
few walnut meats.

chopped dates; spread over another lay

visiting, and the understanding is that
his wife shall leave his cards as a cour-
tesy with her own in formal call, or
the first cali of the season.
AS general rule, therefore, 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 family 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.

in the first lesson. Introduce "cat" in
print Have the children find it in books,

words in print, review work previously
given, and teach one new word

Few things seem more difficult to I'M
derstand by the uninitiated than the
reason why a married woman leaves her
husbands cards with her own, and how
many sheeleaves 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
fore, more or less exempt from formal

THIRD LEssoN-By the use of objects,

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. 1t 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 a pod. If one

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 time
to copy at the end of the first month,
and keep adding new, but not TN
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.

tivated from the beginning.
FOURTH LESSON = Take the number
three as the basis of this lesson.
Illustrate Il and and are s." Get
the child first to count them, then to

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
a regular lesson assigned him, to study
out for himself.

INVITATIONS AND CALLS


"IHE winter season brings with it

q People have settled down to
their town life aud to the gen.
eral round of social duties, occupations

first, because they loom up largely in
the world OF society, and must be full
filed if one would sustain ones reputa-
hon for politeness and keep in touch
with friends and acquaintance. There
are obligations which we owe and must
respect.
1t may be a duty to entertain little

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
