CHILDREN AID IN GOOD WORK
Clubs Of Youngsters Formed In VarI-
GUS Places Have Made spIen-
did Records.

The best evidence of the value of
school-extension interest may perhaps
be seen In a particular reference to
the actual club work of boys and girls
already successfully carried on in sew
eral states. The first statewide move
ment Of this kind began about 1898,
in New York, under the auspices of
the College of Agriculture of Cornell
university, as a development from its
nature-study lessons.
This work has now gone over the
whole state and has taken a variety
of forms, such as corn growing, DO.
tato growing, fruit growing, poultry
raising, and garden contests, with
special prizes to girls for the best
work in sewing and breadmaking. It
has all been directed more or less
closely by the Junior Naturalist
Monthly, and more recently by the
Cornell Rural School Leaflet, which
frequently gives definite lessons in
agriculture written by the college
specialists. This publication reaches
about 1000 teachers and school COM
missioners during nine months of the
year, and is the official organ of the
Cornell Farm Boys and Girls clubs
which now have an aggregate mem
bership Of about $4,000.

John Burns and Lord Kitchener

conference this week, writes Lon

some striking statistics for instance
that in the last thirty years London
has been augmented by more than

Of streets.

best sections of most big cities de-
sire to escape the smoke nuisance

prevailing wind.
A gorgeous picture of the city
beautiful of the future was painted
by NJ. Henard, Partisan municipal
architect. Light and energy, he de-
clared, will be conveyed by electric.
lty, petrol and oxygen will supply
heat, and liquid air will keep up the
refrigerators In every larder.
In addition to heat radiators there
also will be cold radiators in the city
OF the future, which will enable each
house to be kept at the required tenn
perature. BY this power 1t will be
possible to provide in each house one
or more health chambers closed by
close-fitting double windows and
doors in which the overworked occu-
pant on his return from work will
find a habitation and atmosphere to
keep up the health of himself and his
family under all hygienie conditions
which now he can obtain by taking
an annual holiday.
Glass verandas of various shapes,
Joined together and covering foot
paths according to standard models,
will shelter pedestrians against rain,
and the normal height of a building
will be exactly the width of the
street. The roofs of houses will be
platforms upon which small flower
beds and yerdant strawberries will be
laid out, as they will be landing
stages for aeroplanes.
When this progress has been ac-
complished, according to NJ. Henard,
the physiognomy of towns will be
changed. All terraces will have be-
come landing stages for flying auto
mobiles. Aviators will be able to
fly from one terrace to another. start
ing and landing as they please.
Large parks and flower gardens as
rest and pleasure resorts also will be
laid out in various parts of the town.

Training for the Ministry.

Nothing Is more necessary to the
community, whatever the religious
opinion Of its members may be, than
the steady and constant supply of
men of high education, of consecra-
ton, Of careful training, of inspiration
and Of lives devoted in act and word
to the service of the divine and Of
humanity. Unless such men are in
the community its great moral forces
will cease to have their expression,
their direction, their inspiration and
their representation.
1t is, therefore, to be regretted that,
In spite Of the many movements, par
ticularly through our Young Mems
Christian association, which has been
active during the last decade as never
before, the supply Of clergymen Is not
keeping up with the growth of the
country, but 1t is gratifying that this
supply Is increasing. 1t is notable,
however, that the share of those who
become clergymen with a college edu-
cation is decreasing. Down to 1895
the schools which require college
training furnished about two-thirds of
the total number of men fitting for the
ministry. In 1910 they furnished one
half, or 1915 out of the total number,
which, including 312 women, was

AUTOMATIC SAVINGS BANK
outsrowth of the Postal Savings sys-
tenn In Italy Has Proved Of
"" Great Value.

The automatic savings bank was the
outgrowth of the postal savings bank
system in Italy, and has proved Of
great value and convenience. In a
cast iron pillar there are three Sits
In the top Of one ten oentime
piece may be inserted - If false
1t is rejected through the second
slit, but If good slip of paper, q
printed receipt, drops from the lower
slit. When the depositor has five of
these receipts he can present them
at any postal savings agency and re-
ceive regular pass book in which
his 80 centimes are credited, and on
which interest is paid at the rate of
four per cent.
The advantages of this plan are
obvious. The laborer is encouraged
to save a tiny fraction of his wages
each day without the trouble and loss
Of time incident to going to a pos
sibly remote postoffice to make his
deposit. There is, of course, large
saving of clerical work to the postal
savings employees.

Village Improvement Work.

Village improvement work is one Of
the most beautiful thoughts of the
day, and there Is no end to the work
1t opens up. In small towns it NAV
well take the place of the board of
trade of the cities. Let us hope the
people all along the line are alive to
Its advantages. For, after all, it lies
with the people themselves to say
to what extent this improvement work
shall go. In the midst of all a few
farmers or villagers may decline to-
join the work, and thus become an
eyesore to the treless little company
OF workers who have done SO much
for them. 1t will also cause thousands
OF visitors to wonder what makes
those homes and farms less prosper.
