DR.. Lomer begins by pointing out
the superiority Of the Jew In all pro-
fessions In which brain power tells
One-ninth of the Roman Catholic chill
dren Of Berlin attend the. higher grade
schools. one-seventh OF the Protestant
children also attend. these schools, but
not less than two thirds of the Jewish
children OF the German capital re-
.ceive the higher education. Through
out Germany the Jews form little more
than / per cent of the total population,
but 20 per cent Of the children In the
high grade schools of the country are
Jews. In the high grade schools Of
Berlin and other great cities the per-
centage of Jewish children is still
higher, reaching 80, 40 and SO per cent.
The same predominance of the Jews
is evident at the German universities.
Among the Roman Catholics 13 in 10,-'
600 and among the protestants 25 In
10000 receive university education,
but among the Jews no fewer than 100
in 10000 receive academic training.
More than half the doctors and law
yers in Berlin are Jews, and the same
numerical predominance can be no
ticed in most great German cities. The
Jews predominate also as university
professors. as teachers, as newspaper
men, as artists and architects--in
short, in all brain work professions
What, asks DR.. Loner, are the causes
of the superiority Of the Jews TO the

question by pointing out that the Jews
are above everything vast united

PARENTS SHOULD sEE THAT IT
10 ATTRACTIVE AND
WELL AIRED.

THERE is a movement on foot all
over this country to beautify the
schoolhouse
Our children spend the greater part
Of their day in IT. It's ugly walls and
hard. uncomfortable desks and benches
affect them both mentally and phys
ica1ly. It is bad enough TO crarnp the
muscles of a growing child 1t is just
as bad to dwarf its love for the beauti-
ful by ugly surroundings.
Softly toned wallis are merely ques-
ton of can of paint, and paint is not
expensive. A few good prints and
photographs, not to speak of cheap
casts, may be supplied for a small sum
by the parents themselves IL the school
board Is not sufflciently interested.
Children respond to their surround
ings. Although they may be destruc-
tive by nature. they are soon, even
against their wills, impressed by the
beauty of harmonious surroundings
and they want to keep things nice If
things are made nice for them.
A love OF flowers and growing things
should be insti1led early into the heart
Of every child. The walls of the
schoolhouse should be made beautiful
with vines and the school grounds
should be planted with flowers and
vines by the students,
A good library should be established
in every school for the benefit OF the
scholars. where they may obtain fiction
and history suited to their years in
stead of the unsuitable and sometimes
dangerous books they obtain from the
general libraries. The books should be
OF the sort that form character without
being priggish. The girls books should
make them more womanly; the boys
stories should help the latter to grow
up manly There is plenty Sof good
fiction along these lines
Last and not least, the ventilation of
the schoolhouse should be above re-
proach. 1t Is indeed useless to study
In a close atmosphere, and many cases
Of stupidity are without doubt due to
bad air

Home knitted stockings can always
be depended upon to outiast several
successions of machine made hose
There. are, however, many little devices
by which old fashioned knitters used to
increase still further the wearing capa-
bilities Of socks and shooting stockings
which were intended for very hard use
One of the most effective methods
consisted in knitting y strand of silk
into the substance Of the work when
turning the heel or making the toe
The silk is used at. the same time as
the wool, the two strands being simply
knitted together.
In choosing the silk an exact match
must, of course. be procured, If possi-
bic, so that the mixture Is not visible
from either the right or the wrong side.
This protection is much less notice
ible than is the case IL the heels and
oes are darned with wool or silk after

hey are worn. A favorite plan in by
