WHAT ONE TEACHER CAN DO.

In the September Woman's Home
Companion appears an article about
Miss Jessie Field who is superintendent
of the country schools of Page county,
Iowa, and has done great work. Fol-
lowing IS an extract:
Miss Fields chosen task was to
make the schools count for something !;
to wake up teachers, pupils, and par
ents; to improve the system of educa-
ton without primarily increasing its
cost She found that the children were
being taught in hum6rum fashion from
textbooks that at the best might pre-
pare them for commercial life in the
cities. Why should a farmers son and
heir waste his time over arithmetical
problems dealing with stocks and bonds
when farm arithmetic, involving the
same general principles, is so much
more ineligible and interesting to him,
and vastly more practical? With the
aid of teachers and farmers Miss Field
compiled a little country arithmetic
with problems involving farm crops, the
| dairy, poultry, the measurement of
grain in bins drainage, fencing. and
sales of produce. Now when a farmer
unable to calculate the number of tons
Fof hay in a stack that he wished tic
buy, found his son able to cope with

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

ITO take all my work that pos
sibly can outdoors, and to bring out
doors in to me as much as possible
is the spring and summer motto of
the lady-who-always-k nows-somehow
Every pleasant morning land
pleasant means every morning when
it is not actually raining=I see her
out on her back porch sewing, pre-
pairing vegetables, beating a cake, or
doing any other task which can by
any possibility be attended to there.
In the spring and summer she does
all her ironing out of doors, and when
she has much stitching to do she has
her sewing machine brought out on
the porch.
Bringing outdoors indoors means of
course having all the windows open
as much as possible.
The aIways-knows-some-
how is very well and strong. She
gives much of the credit to the plen-
tiful supply of fresh air with which
she enlivens her household duties.
1t seems to me that a great many
housewives might with advantage fol-
low her lead in this.
"It has been a habit of mine since
leaving school and even before that
writes one of my reader-friends,
when I came across a quotation or a
thought beautifully expressed that I
and put it where I could see it very
often, for instance on my dresser, I'M
til had memorized it. This has been
such a wonderful help to me that 1
wanted you to suggest it to your read
ers. Now I am a business woman
and find it even more useful. Some
times that one verse or thought will
occur to me again and again during
the day, and of course it cannot help
but benefit me. Very often it is a
real inspiration when I become dis
couraged.
"Then, too, believe in passing
these thoughts on. L often copy one
off and send 1t to some girl 1 know
would enjoy it."
am very glad indeed to pass along
this suggestion, for I do not believe
there is one of us who has not been
helped at least once. most of US many
times, by remembering some inspiring
sentiment in a moment of storm and
stress, or a time of difficult decision.
We all approve of laying by ma
terial wealth for a rainy day. Surely
it is also we'll to lay by mental and
of depression or sorrow or temptation.
I thoroughly recommend my letter
friends idea. Don't just read ana adj
mire the helpful bit of poetry or
striking sentiment. Perhaps you think
you will remember it from one read
ign, and maybe you will for tomor-
row, but the day after tomorrow it
copy it and put it on your desk or
your dresser or over your sink, any
place where you will half uncon-
sciously read it a dozen times a day.
Keep it there until it becomes an in
tegral part of your grey matter, al
most as unforgetable as your name.
In this way, and in this way only,
can you make it really your own and
be sure of its help when you most
need it.

THE STATE EAIR.

AS far as the exhibits, attractions,
and anusements are concerned the
Kansas State Fair, which opens its
gates in Topeka on September 9, is
made Last years fair in all of it's
details compared favorabIy with any
of the big and long-esta blished state
fairs in the country. This years fair
viii be on a par with any of them
and superior in many respects to sew
eral. In the matter of amusements,
for instance. the most expensive night
show will be staged this year on the
Topeka grounds that has ever been
presented at any state fair. Secretary
Cook, to whom the lions share of the
credit is due for the development of
the fair to its present fine proportions,
is authority for this statement. And
the people of this vicinity know that
Mr.. Cook is not a dealer in rainbows.
His statements about any and every
feature of the fair are always borne
out by the facts. OF course. amuse-
ments are only an incidental to an
agricultural exposition. But fair WISH
tors are keen for them nonetheless.
And large and attractive as the amuse-
ments, including The daily racing pro-
grams OF much excellence, will be, they
will only be on the same high plane of
every other feature of the fair. The
exhibits of horses, cattle, hogs, sheep,
poultry, machinery, farm products and
everything else, including a magnificent
display of fine arts, will all be in a
class by themselves as far as any other
similar exposition in Kansas is con-
cerned.
And the fact that the fair is made in
all of these essential respects entities
it to the large patronage such an en-
deavor deserves. Here is where every
man and woman in Topeka can do
their part to make the fair the great
success it should be from the attend
ance standpoint. Merely making up
their minds to be generous in their
personal patronage of the fair is not
sufficient. They should make it point
to let their friends in other parts of
the state and elsewhere know by cards
and letters just the kind of a fair that
will be given in Topeka this fall. They
should invite their friends to be their
guests during one Or more days of fair
week Many people seem too much in
clined these days to look upon company
as a burden rather than a pleasure
But if any Topekans harbor such
thoughts, they should forget them for
fair week. 1t will be a great thing for
Topeka if the crowd for fair week
should run into numbers approaching
10000. What an advertisement that
would be for the capital city of Kan
sas, and for the fairs to come!
Whenever any boosting is done for
Topeka, the burden generally falls on
the shoulders OF the merchants and the
professional men associated with the
Commercial club and its kindred or
ganizations. But hare's a chance where
almost everybody in town. can join in
boosting it to the skies.
Invite your friends to Topeka for
fair week. Refuse to take no for an
answer to- your invitations.
