Chinese and Chinanoa N,

On the subject Of surprising modern
words it is notable that the oxford
dictionary finds no earlier instance of
"Chinaman." In the sense of native
OF China, than 1854. when Emerson so
used IL. The previous word was "Chi-
nese." from which the plural "Chi-
neses'' was formed by Milton and his
contemporaries. aud the false singular
''Chinee" by modern Americans. But
"Chinaman" in another sense. that Of
a dealer in china, was in use long be
fore 1854. The oxford dictionary gives
three instances of it from London di-
rectories of 1T72 1901 and 1919. but
does not notice that in 1853 one "John
Crowther. Chinaman," was gazetted
bankrupt. "Chinawoman" in slml-
lar sense goes back TO Ben Jonsop.--

Yueatan,s Water cavsrn..

Since Yucatan. where the Mayas

subterranean rivers and the cenotes.
or water caverns. which give access
to them. The Mayas noted the courses
of the underground streams and built
their towns round the cenotes. Many
cenotes are now found surrounded by
ruins and give indications of the
methods employed by the .Mayas to
reach their cool waters. In Uxmal a
cenote about forty feet deep is inhabit-
cd by n peculiar species of fish. At

five openings in the rocks at the bot

have time for supplementary
work along various lines, and yet
are afraid to do so because the
Simon" of your district does not
say" in that way? Ifyou do you have
sold yourself for that which comes
OF pleasing the district" do you
believe that It is better for your
pupils to leave off about two thirds
of the problems In the latter half Of
the Arithmetic, and give In their
place original problems of a practi-
cal nature which will make the pupil
do some hard thinking for himself,
and yet fail to follow this plan be-
cause you fer Some one" which Is
another name for our friend ISL
mon," will SAY something?' II so
you are playing the Judas on a small
scale. which is net 80 very small
after all.
Only q few days ago | asked a
teacher Of experience and character
IL he believed that 1t would be W IL
for the districts over the country II
the teachers were taking some time
each day this fall to help their pu-
pills plan and plant a small School
garden in which they could start cul-
ture experiments with wheat, rye,
winter oats and grasses, and his
answer was that which would have
come from many good teachers over
the country. Yes, 1t would be fine
thing, but IL | tried to do it where
| have taught, | would be out of n
school before a MONTH"
| am not desiring TO blame such
teachers, but to arouse them. Arouse
them to the consciousness of the
greatest privilege of the teacher. the
privilege OF being a MAKER Of pub
lie opinion and not a FOLLOWER.
Cease to be the wiggle-waggling fol.
lowers in the game of life, with
eyes and attention fixed upon the
neighborhood Simon" but be the
one to start the new game of Right
and Reason" in your community.
Never give a moments thought as
to whether you please any one in
your teaching or school administra-
ton. Play the game of Right and
Reason" yourself fearlessly, and You
will be surprised to find how many
take it in preference to the game Of
Simon says" IL there is only lead
or found.

and community. and never forget,

AyEXT In importance to the proper
IN cooking of food is the way Il is
4 served and the order In which
the table is laid. The attrac-
tive appearance Of well cooked food
appeals strongly to the appetite and
prepares the digestive organs for their
work. Probably every person has ex-
perienced the feeling of being suddenly
hungry when some especially attrac-
tive Wand has been displayed before
him. Equally true is 1t that almost
every one has known hunger to van
ish at sight Of table laid with soiled
linen and china and food carelessly
arranged on serving dishes. The home
ly hash has not a musical name and
generally calls up memories of unen-
joyable meals. yet l have known a
platter of 1t to win as sincere approval
as has ever been bestowed on porter
house steak. True. the hash was serv-
ed piping hot on a pretty platter. IL
was well Drowned. hanked perhaps
with poached eggs and garnished with
sprigs of parsley. Its flavor. too, was
Just as pleasing and tempting as its
appearance. Ii may take a moment
or two longer to garnish the dish Of
meat or vegetables. but 1t certainly
pays for the trouble. Rather than
neglect 1t would suggest emitting
one or two dishes from the menu. Re-
ferring to menus brings to mind the
fact that in some homes, those In the
country especially. there is a tendency
to serve too many foods Of the same
kind at the same meal.
For instance. have many times
seen three kinds Of cooked fruit, three
or four kinds of vegetables and at
least two kinds Of pickles or desserts
served at an ordinary dinner. This
means unnecessary work. unnecessary
expense and so much time spent In
preparation that very likely there was
none left for dainty serving. A knowl-
edge of foods and food values should
teach the housekeeper that one food Of
each of the above mentioned kinds Is
sufficient at one time for any family.
In many homes. too. 1t Is the custom
to put all the food on the table at
once and have the various dishes pass

Did you ever play the old game
of Simon Says7 You know how all
gather around the Simon" and fix
their thumbs just az he does, aud
then go through all of his motions.
II any one is so unfortunate as TO
turn Thumbs down when Isl
mon" says up or to turn them up,
or "wigglc-waggle" them when they
should go down, a forfeit has TO be
paid and a penalty is exacted. And
a yet greater blunder is to do some
thing with the thumbs when Simon
is silent.
Now | dc not want to give pa
per on school games, or anything OF
the kind this week, but | do want
to point out the fact that the game
of Simon Gays" is one OF the most
common ones played on the great
athletic field of lifo. II is played by
preachers and lawyers and politicians,
by farmers and merchants and manu-
facturers. and, am inclined to say,
more by school teachers than any
one else. Too many of us fix our
pedagogic and professional thumbs
as we sec those CT the great Simon"
of custom, and faithfully go up. or
down, or wigglc-wGggle just as he
says, regardless of what our own
judgment may tell us is wise. More
than this, ifsby accident we make
move which has not the Simon says
before 1t, wo think that we have COM
mitted grievou5 blunder.
In discussing before teachers in
Institutes and other places the work
outlined in the State Course of Study
one OF the cries so often heard is.
"In my district I would not dare do
that, | know that II is the best way,
but II | did Il would never get an
other school around there"
Now my dear friends, such state
ment, or condition of mind. II you
we're never quite frank enough 20
say the words, is nothing but the
purest COWARDICE. Esau sold him
self for a mess of pottage, Judas sold
himself for thirty pieces OF silver
and what he thought would be the
favor OF tho ruling Jews. Are you 60
ing to sell yourself for a term Of
school and a 'stand-in" with the
school board? | think not. II you are
warned as to what your Cautious"
policy in reality is.
Do you believe that II would be
well to go moro slowly and more
thoroughly in the books and
