ENCOURAGING BRIGHT PUPILA

Parents and educators everywhere
will be interested In the experiment
now being tried in the Cincinnati
public schools OF establishing class
room for especially bright pupils.
which would appear to be the logical
accompaniment of the classroom for
backward pupils. The proposition
that 1t Is as unfair to hold back the
apt or clever child In the ranks OF
the mediocre as 1t Is to speed the dull
pupil to a pace he cannot maintain
appeals as reasonable and common
sense. 1t will be argued with much
force that the system which makes
provision for caring for the backward
pupil cannot be justified without pro-,
vision is made for accompanying the
needs of those who can advance more
rapidly than the average, says the St.
Paul Pioneer Press. The proposition
simply provides for the application
TO schooling of the plan, that Is gen
orally adopted and followed in the
business world, where wage scales,
chances Of promotion and all the ad'
vantages are based on the ability OF
those employed to advance rapidly in
one line or another. This has not
been the rule In the school where the
system has been adjusted to meet the
requirements Of the average pupil
with special provision made for those
below the average. The net result OF
this system has been retardation, for
which the pupils are not to blame.
The Cincinnati educators have decid
ed that the old system of trying to
make all children fit the same edu
cational pattern is unsatisfactory In
general and particularly unfair to the
bright pupils, who are to be given spe-
cial attention under more sensible
and equitable method.

An Iowa subscriber, Mr.. Horace
Carter, sends the following suggestion
to the Homestead, which involves the
use of vestibule in hog house in
cold weather. Many hog houses are
made very cold in winter through hav-

go in and out and even in case swing

The Care Of Lambs.

At eight to ten days of age lambs
will begin to eat. At that time a.
creep should be built which will give
them access to feed box containing
grain and trough with hay. Box.
trough and feed should always be kept
sweet and clean.
A good grain ration for lambs is
made as follows: Mix one-third part
OF oilmeal with one part each of bran,
oats and fine cornmeal. Red alfalfa
hay or the second cutting Of alfalfa
hay are the most desirable form Of
roughage. OF the two alfalfa Is to be
much preferred.
1t is good idea to keep up the
grain feed right along until the lambs
are sent to market. BY so doing the
lambs are kept fat all the time and
are ready to be turned into cash on
short notice should the market take .

The famous auto expert who broke

life In better cause. A man, 1t is
true, can easily find out II human

strain put upon 1t by these speed ex-
periments. but If he finds to the con-
trary the knowledge is seldom of any
use to him, nor does its acquisition
serve even the minor purpose of being
warning to others. The need of the
age Is to learn more how to enjoy life,
rather than faster ways of rushing
through 1t.

Music of tho Drum.

All musical authorities have agreed
that when used in proper way the
drum is thoroughly musical. The CON-
mon snare or side drum is freely used
in musical composition. A large num-
Der of drummers performing stimuli
taneously out of doors produce good
music. In this connection Berlioz, the
composer, pointed out that sound
that was Insignificant when heard
singly, such as the clink of one or two
muskets at shoulder arms or the thud
as the butt comes to the ground at
ground arms, becomes brilliant and at
