The fifth annual report of the high
schools of the state has just been is
sued, which brings out a vast amount
of information concerning these edu-
cation institutions, and shows what
is being accomplished in a way. The
statistics show that of the 1919 high
ports We're received, there are Ais
instructors, 276 of whom have college
degrees. Seventynine have a four
year course, twenty a three-year
course, twenty-four a two-year course,
and six a one-year course. Only a
tr'fle over half of the superintendent
of these schools have degrees, and it
is argued that for higher salaries more
capable men must be employed. The
total attendance of pupils numbers
6,195 scholars, with 999 seniors.

ChIldren's Shoes.

Children are often made uncomfort-
able by being Obliged to wear shoes
that are either too large or too small.
The mistake is made in buying. An
shoe man who had made
children's shoes special study ad-
ivises that the child wear thick stock
ings when trying on shoes. In many
cases the child will wear his best"
hose, which are thinner than those
for every day. and then the new shoes
viii be trire too tight when worn
with the thicker pair. Buy as good
leather as you can afford, but II is
not wise to buy the most expensive
shoes, for the child may outgrow
them. The shoe dealer above quoted
says that shoe with q wide. fat.
low heel is better for child than
the heelless shoe, since children
usually put the heel Of the foot down
heavily when walking. Teach chill
dren to take care of their shoes.
When the shoes have been wet they
should be wiped dry. stuffed with
paper to hold their shape, put in a
warm place and rubbed with vaseline
to keep the leather soft.

rather of the tremendous value its edu-

officially. Theobject of slong, straight.

way; the neat effectiveness of its ballast
ing; its handsome stations and their sur
roundings; its unwinking eyes of light
all night its courtesy and skill and we'll
dressedness of the officials and employees,
etc, must be exercising an enormous
educational influence upon all who come
into business or observational contact

realize the fact, every way better

There is not a single store on the
