How the Baby Bird Flew.

j. NJ Barrie has little fable in
one Of his works about baby lark
asking its mother to teach it to fly.
The mother thought hard about how
she herself had learned to fly long
ago last year, but all she could recall
was that you suddenly do It.
Wait till the sun comes out after
the rain," she said, half remember

birds wings together.

An Optical Illusion.

Did you ever try to see through
your hand? BY following these direc.
tions you may at least make yourself
believe you are looking right through
the palm. Out of a piece of paste
board about five inches square roll a
tube. Have one end Just large enough
to fit around the eye. and the other a
little smaller. Take the tube between
the thumb and fingers of the right
hand: put the larger end to your eye,
and press your left hand against the
smaller end. Keep both eyes open
Objects beyond the left hand will be
plainly visible, and there will appear
to be hole through the center of the
palm. 1t is the uncovered left eye
which is actually doing all the seeing,
but so far as appearances go. it will
seem as If the right eye were seeing.

MULES NOT HARD TO HANDLE.
Whole Secret Is In Knowing How to

Horse and mule men at the stock

afternoon while the soldiers of Battery

lery, loaded 13 cars of mules in 25 min
utes 1t was new record on the load,

by any unusual methods either. Nor
was the mule drivers vocabulary re-

lieutenant simply called the roll and
the mules responded to their names
Niger called an officer, and lit

NOTES FROM THE TEACHERS
AND DIRECTORS MEETING

The Directors were conspicuous,
mostly by their absence.
Messrs Chedsey, Taylor Riddle
and Butler were present.
Among the teachers were noted
Miss Hyland. Miss Murphy. Miss
Pierce and Mr. Phillips.
A goodly nunbero of parents were
also in attendance
But little thought, heretofore
has been given to the organization
of school directors, altho the direc-
tors work must precede and CO.
incide with that of the teacher.
To the School Directors of Colo.
lis intrusted the most important
work of the state, that of caring
for the education of its youth. Few
directors realize the Importance of
their work. but a careful reading of
the school laws convinoes one that
their duties can not be taken up
lightly
A teachers success is measured
by at least three things: her educa-
ton; her interest in the education
al meetings and work of her state
and county; and her actual ability
to instruct her students, and to
please the patrons of her school.
These require WORK, some SACRIFICE
and much TACT,
The adoption of uniform Text
books is very important to parent.
pupil. and teacher. Only six dis
tricts in Jackson, but as many diff
ferent sets of books, or rather, nine
different schools therefore, nine
different sets of books.
LIBRARIES, Only one in the
County as reported by secretaries
in their annual reports. This one
at Walden, and contains 2lO vol
umes.
Children should have plenty Of
good reading 1t is the duty of
parents to see that their children
are supplied with good books.
School Boards should take an in
terest along this line and see that
each school has good library As
School Board may make a special
levy of one tenth mill for library
purposes, it was recommended that
said levy be made this coming year
The Pupils Reading Circle has
just been established by the State
Reading Circle Board.
This will be the means of getting
good books into the hands of the
pupils AS the books are some
what expensive, 1t was decided in
the Walden schools to have each
pupil purchase one book. and then
form rather a circulating library a.
mong themselves.
1t is hoped the parents will take
kindly to this reading circle. Be
interested in it and thus help the
teachers to get good reading mat
ter into the hands of the children.
In the year 1910, we hope to
have standard library in each
school; uniform text books thru out
the county: a nine months term in
each district, thus giving each child
a chance to complete the grades
work.
