Willie, from the first grade up,
should have been taught the prop

Instead of this, his teacher, de-

fingers, draw some beautifully

Willie should have been given
very large pencil, and have been
taught to write very large hand,
so large in fact, that he COULD NOT

his pencil so tightly that the nail

PROMOTIONS.


There are many pCrpleXlnS prob
NOT the least Of these is that of
promotions 1t IS mOmentous ques-
tion because ON its correct answer
Ing depends the child's interest and
consequently his success IN school,
aud often in life. In the case of the
earnest pupil who has done good
work. there is fortunately no ques-
ton and all concerned are pleased
with the outcome. In the case OF
The very poor pupil who, because OF
irregular attendance OF other cause.
falls so low in his work as to have
practically no class standing at all,
there is no question of promotion. But
the difficulty arises with large mum,
Der Of pupils whose work in one or
two classes is below passing stand
ard but in others is very good, and
with those pupils who IN all studies,
rank near or just below the passing
standard. What shall the teacher do
in cases Ike these, is the problem
Every case must be dealt with as
IN individual, "A human life and des-
tiny may be made or unmade The
conscientious teacher is presented
with an unpleasant dilemma. The
pupil is anxious to pass and has,
it may chance under the conditions,
done as we'll as he could. Parents
toe are seldom satisfied with their
childrens being retained in a
grade, and while usually reasonable
in their demands for promotion, are
sometimes unpleasantly msistent.
Again, the failure OF pupils TO pass
in year seems to reflect on the
teachers ability or earneslnesS. All
these favor promotion and oftcntitn".
so strongly the weak teacher yields
to the temptation and an irreparabe
injurY is done to the child in the
name OF kindness.

creased, rather than decreased the
number of hunters in the woods at one
time and the confusion existing with
bird and rabbit hunters and their dogs
and others hunting bigger game, al
az the same time, is believed 10 have
increased the possibility Of accident
In view Of this situation II would seem
wise to designate the open season for
partridge and rabbits from Oct 20
Nov l, then designate the entire mont
of November as The season for big
game. the licenses for which would

the provision that al game be out

close Of the deer season To reopen tho
rabbit season and permit ii to continue
for the entire winter Hunters desir-
could SO arrange their outings rs to
be in the woods the latter part Of the
bird season and the first part Cf the
deer season. This change would SEN
arate the respective seasons and still
leave ample opportunity for the hunt
ing of either birds, rabbits or deer.
"A discussion Of desired changes II
the law would be welcomed at the
present time. After the hunters fami-
liarize themselves with each others
views 1t would be well to circulate a
petition. obtain as many signatures as

Time TO WORK
ON GAME LAWS
Sportsman Urges United Action
For Revision

'If the sportsmen of the copper
country want the game laws revised
and improved at the coming session
of the Legislature. they should get to-
gether without delay and draw up a
set of suggestions and recornmenla
tons" said a we'll known hunter md
fisherman yesterday. IT'S very easy
TO find fault with the laws now IN the
statute books. but if they are to be
remeded. action should be taken az
once. The copper country's represen
tatives and. senator in the state legis-
lature should be given q clear under
standing of what is desired.
THE game laws passed at the, last
session of the legislature. which are
admittedly unsatisfactory, We're hasti-
~ considered just before the final adj
tournament They have been severely
criticised. The legislature is to meet
again after the first of the year, and
the Legislators Will undoubtedly be
willing to rectify any error made. II
they can feel certain they are meet
ing the wishes of a majority OF tho
sportsmen.

PRODUCTION or GOLD.
Improved Methods Of Extraction In.
crease Supply of Yellow Metal.

The extraction of gold from the
aurlferous rocks known as low grade
by means Of the stamp crushing
process has flooded the world during
the past few years with that desirable
metal and has. according to econo-
mists. helped send up the price or
everything that gold buys. Now comes
the information that other improve
ments In gold extraction are being eff
fected which may somewhat further
extend the possibility Of mining low
grade ores and further accelerate the
yellow food.
The stamp mill Is being replaced by
the tube MILL n device for pulyerizing
rocky particles by grinding them in
side a tubular container. This Inn
proved appliance surpasses the stamp
In that it pulverlzes a given amount
Of rock with far less labor and ex.
pense. Tube mills are now generally
employed in the Rand. where they are
still supplemented by stamps. TO do the
preliminary work of coarse crushing.
Quite recently James Yule president
of the South African Institute of En-
gineers. suggested the likelihood that
roll crushers might soon replace the
stamp mills. even for much of the
coarse work.
All these changes mean n cheapen-
Ing of the cost per ton of rock of ex-
tracing gold and for each cents re-
duction In the cost Of extracting per
ton. millions of tons of rock which
formerly We're not worth handling be-
come paying. Predictions as to the
early slackenlng OF the fevered gold
production Of the past decades may
therefore prove mistaken.
