friends he entertained at luncheon:
Down in . little Florida town two
negro families live in shanties about

their drinking water from a shallow
open we'll located midway between tho
two houses. A fence which separates
the two yards is built up to the we'll
on both sides. Every evening after
her days work is done, 1t is the Gus
tom of one OF the negro mammies to
pick up buckets and 60 to the we'll for
water. One day the owner Of the
property moved the fence back about
ten feet from where 1t originally stood.
That evening when Eliza started out
with her pail she fixed her eye on the
fence and made straight for 1t. Walk
Ing hurriedly along the beaten path.
she plunged into the shallow well with
a splash. Her screams brought i'm
mediate assistance, and as she climb

away she Indignantly exclaimed:

The goody-goody schoolma'am, the
mandarin-schoolmaster, the philistine-ped-
agogue, the pedant-administrator with his
business capacities, have proved themselves
incompetent to deal with the education Of
the young.
They stifle talent, they stupefy the in
tellect, they paralyze the will, they sup
press genius, they benumb the faculties Of
our children.
The educator, with his pseudo-scien-
tifc, pseudo-psychologica, pseudagogcs,

firm, set habits-marionettes, dolls.

recent article in prominent maga-
zine dwelt upon the necessity of disinfect-
ing books given out in the public Libraries.
This is indeed necessary, for many dis
eases, such as scarlet fever, typhoid fever,
diphtheria, consumption and many other
affections can be distributed by the books.
Many times the volumes are read by
sick persons, and the very handling Of
the books by the patients is conducive to
spread of contagion, not taking into con-
sideration that patients wet their fingers
to turn the pages, as many do. Therefore
all books in the lihraries should be disin.

Most Of the advantages of camping
out may be enjoyed at home by those
who live in houses with grounds about
them. When the family owns q tent
Il may be pitched In the yard early in
the summer and the children may be
allowed to sleep there whenever they
wish. weather permitting. The bed
ling should be brought In whenever 1t
rains. and kept we'll aired. An old
bed spring and . mattress or old cots
provide satisfactory sleeping accom-
modations. Dark outing flannel pa
lamas are the best sleeping garments
Tor camping out. and they should be
provided for all the children regard
ess Of sex.
The next step IL the screening of
the back or side porch. An ordinary
Kitchen table should be. moved out
there and there the family may eat
their meals In comfort in hot weather.
They may even spend the evening
there IN comfort. In the morning the
mother may do most Of her house
work there. It 10 possible to wash
here and even iron with the aid Of an
alcohol stove. which costs quarter
and which 10 now part Of every camp
!ng outfit. The stove must be careful
" used. but It accommodates a single
IRON with safety and convenience.
Tho same little stove will make 1t
possible to let the range hre go out
early in the afternoon and stay out. It
10 quite possible to cook the single hot
aish which IL enough for the summer
supper on the stove. Toast may be
made before the fire goes out and then
warmed on the place which covers the
dish In which milk. tomatoes or cream
I'd meat Is being warmed to spread
over 1t. Breakfast may be simplified
to coffee or milk for the children.
cereal toast or rolls.
The up-to-date camping party takes
along fireless cooker to supplement
the camp fire and alcohol stove. and
this the housekeeper should never be
without 1t will make 1t possible to do
the afternoon cooking without the
range, even when a full meal Is to be
served. for the water for tea or cof-
Tee may be prepared on the alcohol
stove.
The mother should spend every mo-
ment she can out Of doors. 1t is easy
to keep a rocking chair on the screen
ed porch and shell the peas and peel
the potatoes there. and the baby will
be safe there all Of the time provided
the door is fastened. AS matter OF
fact, he should take his nap out there
all the year round except in rainy or
very cold weather.
The sewing machine may be wheel
ed out for afternoon use. and hand
sewing should also be done In the
open air. There is no particular vir-
tue in the camping tent. The outdoor
air is quite as Accessible at home as in
the woods.
The screened-in porch may be a
blessing, not only by day. but also by
night Its roof, If slanting. may easily
be built up level and provided with a
board or canvas roof. t~should then
be screened in like the lower story.
The advantage of such an outdoor
sleeping place for a delicate child or
older person might be very great.
