The morals of the pupils are guarded
and controlled on the way to and
from school.
The objections to consolidation are
almost invariably either faaciful or
selfish. Trivial excuses are offered to
outweigh the most precious inheritance
that child may receive.
The great objection to consolidated
schools in the minds Of those who are
not informed, is the supposed difficulty
Of transporting pupils. Dean Daven-
port OF Illinois, has we'll said that,
good country schools cannot be es-
tablished within walking distance OF
each other. Transportation is inher-
ent i'll any effective system, and it is
inevitable" Il then. we are ever go
ing to have efficient rural schools, we
must carry most OF the pupils to them.
But from the figures that | have
been able to gather, this difficulty is
more apparent than real. In one
county in Kansas the total expense in
he maintenance OF six schools for a
year was $3275. After they were con-
solidated the cost OF maintaining the
consolidated school, including trans
Dortation, was $27Io, saving OF S5G5
In another county, the cost per month,
per pupil, based on average daily at
tendance, was $362, juct before con-
sOlidation, and S2.53 just after con-
solidation; a saving OF dolla' per
month per pupil.
In Massachusetts the report OF the
Department Il Education states that
the expense OF consolidation has gen
orally been less than the cost OF main
aiming the schools at the time OF
closing the schools consolidated. In
La Grange county, Indiana. the net
saving made by abandoning 80 schools
in year, was $67.34
Another reason i'll tavor OF the con-
solidated school is that domestic

European hotsis.

Most American travellers on their
FIRST trips on the continent of Europe
are astonnded when upon the day OF
their departure from n hotel they are
presented with their bill by the head
waiter instead of by the landlord or
by his chief clerk. But 1t is the GUS
tom. and this important individual Is
thus assured of bis tip. But they fret
and fume inwardly as they think Of
all the other servants to be tipped
and usually end by giving each one
about three times what he expects.
There are two ways of avoiding this
worry If they only knew. In small ho-
tells and pensions where an average or
So or 10 francs day is paid for pen
sion 1t Is proper to allow franc a
day for each person for service and
when going away divide 1t according
ly among those who have served you.
In larger hotels more satisfactory
way is to take 10 per cent of the hotel
bill, whatever. 1t is. add 1t to the
amount of the bill and request the
head waiter to divide 1t among the
servants. Thus is the tipping ques-
ton very much slmplifed.- York

FIGHTER LONG AGO
OPENING GRAVE OF MONSTER
THAT ONCE TERRIFIED EARLY
CALIFORNIANS.
Trees Grew Over Teeth--Must Have
Been Three Stories High, With
Moiars 7 Inches Across and
6 Deep,

Five gigantic teeth, which in some
prehistoric period probably graced the
cavernous mouth of a mastodon, &
predecessor OF mammoth, and. accord
ing to the san Francisco Chronicle,
one of the most colossal creatures
tnat has ever inhabited the earth
have ben unearthed in the old Doggett
mine, on the banks OF the Klamath
River. near Walker, Siskiyou County.
The. three largest of these stupendous
molars contain four cuspids each, eacf
tooth measuring seven inches across
from the first to the last cuspid, and
a little over 81 inches from the tip OF
the root, or that part of 1t which re
mains, to the top of the center cuspid.
Tie teeth measure four and a hall
inches in width In remarkable
state of preservation, they were found
IN a pocket OF sand and gravel eigh-
teen feet under the surface of the
earth.
A better idea Of the size OF the teeth
may be gathered from the fact that
they are about fifteen times the size
of the tooth of the modern horse, and
about eighteen times the size of the
molar of the lion or tiger. The size
of the jaw of this giant creature may
be imagined, therefore, to have been
eight 10 ten times the size of that OF
the lion or tiger, and about fifteen
times the size of a horses mouth.
That the teeth were those of an he'll
5ivorous animal seems evident from
heir evenness. They are too large
o have belonged to the mammoth.
This would seem to indicate that they
ielonged to the mastodon, which tow
ared in size, over the mammoth as
hat creature did above the modern
elephant.
Close to the teeth was found an an
lent stone Ratchet, which Is believed
to belong to period coexistent with
hat in which the animal to which the
teeth belonged is believed to have
lived. Indians of the Klamath River
tribes, on being shown the Ratchet,
declared that they had never seen or
heard of anything resembling it, and
the medicine men and chiefs stated
that the traditions of their people con
sained no account to show that the
Ratchet had ever been made or used
by them.
In the same pocket where the teeth
were found was norm seven and a
half feet long, which cr1imbled in the
hands Of the shoyelmen when they at
tempted to take IL up. The horn
measured at tho butt fourteen inches
in diameter but, according to Frost,

While believe in the utmost flexi-

ability to adapt itself to all condi-

self everything that young people
need for their religious training, let
us never lose sight of our cardinal
principles.
Let me repeat it. Ours is a relig-

Constant Service for Christ, Loyalty

Christ's People. Whatever features

really spell Christian Endeavor. which
for thirty years have made it mcreas-

caused it to find home in every land

There are two dangers to be guard
I'D against. First, narrow exclusive
ness which would make the society
merely prayer meeting, with mar
COW round of duties for few OF the
piritually gifted: and, on the other
rand, an unintelligent inclusiveness
which, for the sake of numbers or
Prestige, adopts every latest youne
,eople's fad, thus belittling or perhaps
,rowding out the very things which
christian Endeavor was established to
maintain, until at last, as one has
graphically expressed it, "the CUES
las eaten up the host"
Against both of these dangers We
have one reat safeguard. It is found
n our pledge, which is both inclusive
and exclusive, including whatever
Christ the Master would like to have
rs do, yet limiting our society ant
defining it as promoting in any way
and all ways the distinctively religious
life of young people.

1.-The English girl as / have met and

charm lies in her modesty and fresh
ness and the wonderful childlike quail
ity Of her outlook upon life, a quality
distinctly lacking In the typical Amer.
lean girl, I think 1t is accounted for
by the greater intimacy of family life
in England.
"In their earliest years American
girls are more with their parents and
are not sent away from home SO soon
as IN England, but later there seems
TO be far more friendship between the
parents and children in England than
In America. The American girl as.
serts her Independence very early and
becomes more aggressive in conse.
quence She is, admit. better poised
than the English girl and is more en-
Pertaining, but unless she has had wise
guidance she often develops some very
unpleasant qualities"

BIG SLUMP IN RUSH BY
IMMIGRANTS TO AMERICA.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-One of the
greatest slumps in immigration ever
recorded at New York is being written
into the records at Ellis Island during
the closing days of the year. Already
the records shows that nearly 100000
fewer immigrants have landed there
up to the present time than for the
corresponding period in 1910. The in
coming tide of humanity is lower now
than at any time since 1908. When the
tide is at it's ebb, every ship leaving for
Europe is crowded as new before.
One vessel sailing a couple of days ago
left 500 steerage passengers on the
wharf, because of inability to find &C
commodations aboard for them.
1.-THE decrease nay mean n of sew
eral things said William Williams,
commissioner of immigration. ut may
mean that Industrial conditions here
are much disturbed. 1t may mean that
third-clas passengers are more pros
porous and are going to n fro
more than usual, or that the long
looked-for natural ebb in the tide has
