Another invention is his lately con-

reflector for a refracting telescope has
always been a difficult and costly feat.
Dr. Wood constructs temporary one by
revolving a dish filled with mercury, the
rising of the mercury on the edges and
depression in the centre forming para
baloid rejecting surface, which is just as
effective as the more expensive reHectors
hitherto used. A peculiar property OF
this mirror Is that 1t does not produce an
inverted image, like an ordinary looking
glass. For instance. II you stand on an

In various sections of the country

than the one who breathes incorrectly In
a good one, is the doctors theory, and
while the braclng atmosphere Of Leysin
would seem to answer all purposes, he
insists upon a strict adherence to his
rules for scientific breathing.
He has secured some remarkable re-
suits. Flat-chested children have been
filled out. anemic children have improved
their blood supply, consumptlve children
have waged successful war against the
microbes which were undermining their
constitutions.
The able-bodled children have likewise
shown great improvement in their school
work. The bracing atmosphere and the
new methods Of breathing have turned
the dullard into an unusually bright and
alert youngster and have improved the
dispositions Of all.
While enterprises OF this character
do an enormous amount of good. they
do not quite fill the bin according to

The School of the Future.
People are beginning to realize that
fresh air Is the staff of life and Is re-
CURED not only for a healthy body but
for healthy mind as wen.
"When l started my school at Mt.'Airy
my project was looked upon as visionary
and many over-timd parents refused
to send their children to me for fear
that they would die of cold. 1t Is hard
to make some people understand that
1t Is not cold that harms, but draughts.
There is less chance Of contracting
cold in my open-air establishment than
in the best-ventilated school-room In the
country.
The children are warmly clad in
danger. Besides that. their skins soon
become hardened to the exposure to the
air. The system of alternating short
periods OF wo'k with similar periods OF
play Is by no means new, but I find that
It works remarkably well in an lnstitu-
ton like mine, where there are no stairs
to climb up and down. and where when
school Is out, the children can just step
right off into the open. 1t saves time
and is extremely simple.
Il believe that the open-alr school idea
will rapidly spread and will eventually
entirely displace the old-fashionsd school,
house."

The curriculum was somewhat changed
TO suit the new conditions. short periods
Of work being alternated by short periods
Of play. 1t was a simple matter for the
children to step from school directly into
the open, and no time was lost in the al
ternating process. The success Of the ex.
pertinent lay in the fact that when the
little ones returned to their work they
paid attention instead Of hankering after
the fresh air, which, under the old sys-
TEN, they would have had to abandon
for the time being. 1t was found thai
the new scheme sharpened the wits OF the
dull children and rosy cheeks. bright
glistening eyes and happy countenances
were the rule
The new school soon became very
popular and had to be extended. There
are now Ave teachers besides Miss Mills
and over a hundred children are now en-
toying the benefits of the unique estab-
lishment.
In the rear OF the school a big open
bungalow has been erected as play
house. Like the school proper. 1t Is alb
solutely unenclosed. Callsthentic eXer-
cises are irdulged In and the children
are allowed to play any innocent game
that appeals to them. They have big
wooden slide, down which they come
tumbling over each other like veritable
sacks of Goals. They have swings and
other apparatus that make the half
hour OF play seem like trip to the sea-
shore.

Abroad the air and sunshine treatment

has begun roofless institution with
quite surprising results. The Board of
Public Education is watching the en-
pertinent and is ready to follow her
lead. The schoolhouse of the future, 1t
seems, may be built without walls.
Medical science now realizes that all
vitality and energy come from the air we
breathe. The food we eat is simply
inert masses of material which the air
makes useful.
The object of the new method Is not
to make the pupils healthier, but TO I'M
prove their scholarship by increasing
their vitality. one thing that makes a
child backward is inattentiveness, and
anything which tends to distract the
students attention interferes with his
progress. Most teachers have observed
