10 SCHOOL PEOPLE.

The State Department of Schools
has decided hat Section j of Senate
Bill No. 50 passed by the last Legis.
@lature, permits any teacher who may
desire to allow Monday after Christ
mas and New Years as holidays,
provided school is taught on Tuesday
following when said holidays fall on
Sunday. The law does not prevent
the regular work on these days ifthe
teacher, is willing to give such SER
vice but in no case may a teacher
teach on Saturday or a regular holt
day.
Just here l wish to mention the
fact that the great majority of our
teachers are doing much in establish
ing Libraries and improving the sani-
tary conditions of our schools as well
as the text book work. For the good
of the masses of our people the teach
ers need and are entitiedssto more as
sistance and encouragement at the
hants of the parents and pupils.
1t is true that some of our teachers
are young and inexperienced but this
will a~lwayssbe true. In November |
visited a school where a motherless
girl 81 years old and weighing 70
pounds is teaching her first term.
This teacher had been twice shut out
of the house and once for a whole
half day because she refused to Sign
the Article yet she had promised to
treat next Christmas. Most troubles
have two sides. We ought not to
critlc'se any one for any act until we
imagine ourself in the other fellows
place long enough to take a view
from the other side. wonder what
the parents would say if a teacher
should lock the children out in the
cold for Y e an hour. Parents this
old custom breeds disorder and we
appeal to you, "a kindly as we know
how. TO please help US stop this pract-
ice and let it pass away with witch
craft and superstition.

bad LUCK" VS.. KNOWING HOW.

A True Storv.-Last year a mid
die aged short course student enter
ed the dairy and saw the butter just
from the churn in fine, large golden
sranules. Said he.t 1 would give
fifty dollars if l could make butter
like that. l have made butter all
my life, but often l have bad luck
WE'LL said the instructor, it will be
your turn first when we commence
butter-making next week. On the
next Monday this student started the
cream, and under proper conditions
it ripened until Tuesday, when I'M
der the instructors directions he
himself made the fancy butter like
he had seen, and afterward sailed,
worked, printed, and packed II for
market. This he did again later.
Today this man is producing the best
butter in his community: but he
has quit laying his failures to bad
luck One must know the how and
the why, to succeed. - From W.
Va. University Bulletin, College of
Agriculture, Short Courses.

DONTs FOR sENDERs OF CHRISTMAS
packages.

Don't wait until the last minute
to send your present. Remember
there are thousands of Others and
they can't all be handled at the
same time. 1t is inevitable tina,
some will be delayed; it may be
yours. To avoid this mail early.
Don't fail to securely wrap your
packages. Thousands of packages
are lost every year on account of bad
wrapping,
Don't fail to plainly address your
packages. If youdo not write plain
or spell well get a friend to write it
for you. Thousands go to the dead
letter Office every Christmas on ac-
count of bad writing and spelling.
Take no chances on the address.
Don't above all things, fail to put
your own name, street and postofhce
address on every package. This
will insure its return to you if any
thing should go wrong with the pack
age.
Don't fail to put sufficient stamps.
on all packages to cover the full
postage. Remember packages can
not be sent unless fully prepaid,
Failure to put On sufficient stamps
would cause delay of same until adj
dressee could be notified and postage
sent.
Don't guess at the weight of the
package. Have it weighed, and
then you will know how much post
age it requires.
Don't put writing inside a pack
age of merchandise or third-cIass
matter. To do SO will subject the
package to postage at FIRST class rate
two cents the ounce, and would also
subject the sender to a fine of SO.
for violating the postal laws.
The only writing permissible in third
or fourth class matter is the name
and address of sender with the word
from and such terms as merry
Christmas greeting, a
New Year, ETC., but must not
contain ANYTHING in the nature of
communication such as. Kiss. Johnny
for me-" Give my love to Kate
or you must come and see me''etc.
Don't get it into your head that
yon can put youroletter ms d. the
package without its being discovered
You should know hat postal reg
alations require every package to be
opened and examined by the post
Offices handling same before being
dispatched.
Don't put Christmas seals over the
or ove the wrapping in such
a manner that the package could
not be examined without breaking
seals to do SO. This makes the
package first class and subject to
at two cents an oun1.
Don't put Christmas or Red Cross
stamps on foreign letters or pack
ages at all. Many countries will not
admit such letters or packages to
the mails.
Don't fail to register all valuable
packages. 1t costs ten cents more
but guarantees its safety. Remem-
Der that Ordinary packages cannot
be traced, but registered ones can.
Don't put up in aimsey paste
board boxes and expect them to so
through without damage. Remem-
Der that a whole ton Of mail in sacks
is frequently piled in the Ears upon
other sacks containing these flimsey
boxes For such boxesto go through
without damage would be a wonder.
RATES OF PosrscE.

CAN'T BE TRAINED TO THINK.

This difference between the animal

piece of work done at Clark univer-
sity, A. j. Kinnman's study of rhesus
monkeys the Bandar-log of the Jun

the usual procedure, learned to get
his food from a box, the lid of which
fastened with key. The key, how
ever. could not be withdrawn from the
lock. After the monkey had become
familiar with the device. and could
operate 1t as readily as a man could
do, the experimenter took the key
out of the lock and laid it on the floor
in front of the box. The monkey
picked up the key, played with it, but
made no attempt to use it. Then the
experimenter took up the key. and,
30 times in succession, with the mon
Key two feet away, watching every
notion, he unlocked the box The
monkey would have starved before
he initiated that simple act. He had
earned to open the box by making
certain movements; he had no idea
of the key as an instrument in the
process. We-sometimes-th in
