very discouraging work.
A visit to our school last week was a
revelation. The pupils are making
astonishing progress, especially the
tiny tots, whose number work and
spelling is almost uncanny. Mrs. Scho-
fields success with some of the children
who have seemed dull, is wonderful.
The school board should provide the
children with eye shade or provide the
school with blinds or shades, the light
is enough to cause serious eye trouble.
They sit facing a west window that has
no protection whatever. One thing
especially pleasing about the school is
rhc SPLENDID order maintained and the
personal cleanliness of the children, and
clean room.

Hishiy important Part Of Equipment
When Girl contempIates
"Rouehing It."

Girls who have had little experience
In outdoor life often do some foolish
things when they begin to try this
form OF enjoyment. One way in which
many of them interfere with their own
comfort is by going on a tramp with
the wrong kind Of shoes.
A girl who has played tennis and
found the soft. rubber soled shoes
comfortable Will think that they will
surely help her to enjoy a tramp; but
they are the last thing to wear for a
long walk. as these girls have found
TO their cost. They come home with
their feet aching and the calves OF the
legs tired out from the lack Of the
spring that is given by heels. Walk
ing with a fiat, heelless shoes on a
rough road is extremely trying, and
one can feel every stone through the
soft rubber soles.
Quite as bad as the tennis shoes are
low shoes with thin soles and high
heels. These tire the feet and may
sprain the ankles. The only shoes
that are really satisfactory for rough
ing it, are strong high shoes with
thick soles. The strongest ankles need
support in rough walking. and it is
often wet in the woods. The girl who
has once tried the two ways of tramp
ing will never again be persuaded to
wear low or thin shoes.
