Poultry Department
The Strangeness Of the Poultry Fancy.
Contributed BY an FL Pasoan For FL Pasoans

Of $500 would not cause him half the
grief that the mishap with this set
ting of fine eggs occasions him. He is
miserable and feels that life is not
worth living. However. he has the
other setting left and gives them, If
possible, even closer attention The
hen sits well and when the time is up
eight little balls of down put in an
appearance in the nest He is very
proud of them, but disappointed at
getting only eight chicks out of the
setting Of Is eggs. They are beau
ties. however, and he is very fond of
them. They are placed in coop in
the front yard.
For ten days everything goes right
and the little chicks grow prodig
iously, when along comes a stray cat
and makes a meal off the finest one.
Again life is not worth living, but the
fever runs all the higher and in each
of the remaining seven can be seen a
prize winner. One of them, however,
will never be exhibited, for when she,
a fine little pullet, is five weeks old,
she jumps into a tub of water care
lessly left standing and is drowned.
Altogether five reach maturity, four
cockerels and one pullet. The pu11et
and cockerels are groomed for the
show and finally placed on exhibition.
They are exhibited as a pair. They
win nothing, however. as the coekerel
is disqualified for overweight
No one but a chicken man can real
lie what this poor amateur suffers
from his year Of disappointments and
yet does ne quit in disgust? Not
much A true fancier is a slayer and
never a gutter. He renews his eff
forts with a determination to overcome
difficulties in spite of fate and he
fights it out along this line sometimes
for many years
Now, there is moral TO this story.
It is this: The raising of fancy pou1-
try is the finest training school in the
world for man or boy along certain
lines 1t enables him to bear up un-
der a series Of great troubles and TO
finally overcome any obstacle that
may interpose itself in his pathway.

first two years. physical exercise and
play occupy four to four and half
hours per week, while only two hours
a week are given to this subject IN
the last six years This report sug-
gests that elementary algebra and
geometry receive from one to three
hours per week during the seventh
and eighth grades, and four hours per
week may be given to some foreign
language in the last three years
These branches shall be more or less
elective to the student Many Of these
suggestions are already in operation
with good results in different schools
The report deals with both rural and
city schools and, while its sugges-
tions will be modified to meet local
conditions, the fact that the committee
was selected from different parts or
the country points toward Its wide In
fluence In preserving the uniformity
of the educational standard in Amer

Results In Grammar Schools.
There is difference OF opinion also
as to the methods Of teaching con-
ducive to the best results in the gram
mar school In this age of speciali-
zation, many educators advocate that
each subject in the schools be taught
by a specialist. The plan Of spseiali-
zation in the elementary schools has
probably reached its highest develop
ment in Philadelphia, although it has
been experimental upon in other cities
1t is being stated, however, that in
the lower grades the specialist is nor
an unqualified success. The person
atty of the teacher tends to datract
the attention of the child frora the
subject being taught, and school dis
cipline is harder to obtain. Such com
