"Gary's conspicuous success with industrial
training is an interesting indication of the
spread OF the modern movement for vocational
education, which insists that In addition to
teaching the recognized branches the school
must give instruction in those subjects that are
of most immediate value to the community
which supports 1t. In Gary the dominant In
terests is trade education; in rural districts
IT is largely agriculture; in the cities 1t may
be stenography. typewriting and other COM
mercial branches. In any case, 1t is coming
to be felt more and more that an educational
system is incomplete that fails to provide
vocational training for its citizens
Commenting upon this showing the Lynch

habits of the community That need is recog-

PAD AND PENCIL GAMES.
Always a Pleasant Pastine For Yule.
tide Time,

Always a Pleasant Pastime For Yule.
tide Time.
Pencil and pad games always form a
pleasant pastime as the children sit in
front of the Christmas fire. The chill
dren should all be provided with fresh
" sharpened pencils and fresh paper
pads. A basket of evergreen sprays or
any variety of Christmas green's is used
for the first writing game. There may
be sprigs Of holly and mistletoe, ivy,
FIR, spruce. hemlock. the many kinds
OF pine including ground pine and ar.
Dor vitae. all of which are to be found
somewhere and somehow at Christmas
time. Each child selects n spray of
green from the basket, writes down
the name as he guesses 1t, and passes
It to his neighbor by the fire. This is
continued until the supply of green's IL
exhausted and the basket is empty.
The children. during the game should
| not ask each other the names of the
| green's. At the end the slips are COL
lected and mother decides which child
has won the prize by handing in the
ucdIeSC COIAcCl SAoL Va uCS anu =
names.
Another pencil and pad game Is that
Of the Christmas cakes. A number OF
sheets of paper are prepared before the
game begins. with the following ques.
lions written on. The answers, hoe
| cake, sponge cake, fruit cake, etc, are
left blank on the papers and are filed
in by the children.
What kind of Christmas cake would
be made by a
Farmer? Hoe cake.
A diver? Sponge cake.
A little curly haired girl? Ribbon cake.
A huckster? Fruit cake.
Little Jack Horner? Plum cake.
A miner? Gold cake.
A drummer? Pound cake.
The man in the moon? Cheese cake.
Old Mother Hubbard? Poverty cake.
There are many other Christmas
cakes which may be added, and the
paper with the longest list Of correct
answers wins a prize. The game may
be varied by using the names of candy
instead of cake, as follows:
What kind Of Christmas candy would
be bought by a
Schoolmaster? Stick candy.
Shoemaker? Shoestrings Oicorice).
Baby? Kisses.
Dentist? Gum drops.
Tlatterer? Taffy.
Milkman? Cream candy.
Miller? Barley sugar.
Dairymaid? Butterscotch.

English Plum Puddinu.

For those who want their plum pud-
dings homemade the following recipe
may prove useful:
Take one-half pound Of finely shred
ded suet. one-half pound Of washed and
dried currants. three-fourths of a pound
Of stoned ~raisins, four tablespoonful
Of dried and sifted breadcrumbs, three
tablespoonfuls of warm sifted -four,
Eve ounces of loaf sugar, three eggs,
three ounces Of shredded citron, one
half nutmeg grated and a teaspoon
full Of brandy. Mix these well togeth-
er, adding enough milk to make it of
nice consistency, and boil for six or
eight hours.
This pudding keeps admirably. and
when it is not to be used for some
time it should be boiled, say, for six
hours and then hung from a hook in
the storeroom until about to be used,
when it should again be placed in the
pan and boiled for an hour and q half
or two hours longer.
It may be boiled in a mold, a basin
or a cloth and must be kept in which
ever is chosen until ready to be served.

COMPOSITE PICTURES.

The game Of composite pictures Is
great fun for the boys and girls al
Christmas time. The materials need
ed for this game are as many pencils
and pieces of paper about foul by
nine inches as there are players.
The participants being seated. each
divides his paper into three equal
parts by folding. then draws OH the
upper space a comic head. extend
ing the neck u little over the line into
the second division. folds the paper
over backward and passes it to his
right hand neighbor. who draws Il body
and just the beginning Of the legs in the
lowest division. This arrangement in
sures the connection of the three parts
Of the fish, flesh or fowl drawn. The
player who has drawn the body then
folds the paper back once more and
passes it to his right. when the player
who receives 1t draws a pair Of legs in
the lowest space. A knowledge Of draw
ing is not expected Of any player. as
the crudest suggestion Of a head, q
body or a pair Of legs fills all the re
quirements. Men, animals. birds and
fishes may contribute head. body and
legs, and the absurd combinations thus
obtained make the game a very enter
tanning one.

QUAKER Meeting.

An old fashioned game known as
"Quaker Meeting" is a great favorite
at the Yuletide party. Those who join
take seats around the room, and n or
more whisper In the a Of each n
some witty or absurd thing for him to
do. All must be quiet who are not
playing. When all are ready n per-
son claps his hands, and the first n
must proceed to do what he was told;
the others must not speak or laugh on
penalty of a forfeit. Each n in turn
must act his or her part 1t must all
be in pantomime.
The parts assigned may be of end
less variety. One person may be or
dered to play a mock bravura on a
table for a piano; another to gaze In
admiration of himself in a mirror and
arrange his dress and hair: another to
act the scornful belle while a gentle
man acts the urgent but ~despairing
lover; one to dance q h%ornpipe; an.
other to make a speech by gesture; an
other to make grimaces in the face Of
every one In the company.
