They trust to their memories as to

KING NICHOLAS PICKED TO START WAR

Declaration of war against Turkey
by King Nicholas of Montenegro, fol-
lowed quickly by several severe en-
gagements between Montenegrin anG
Turkish forces, are regarded merely
as the beginning of a general con-
migration in the Balkan states.
1t is believed that the other units
in the Balkan coalition will follow
suit as soon as the mobilization OF
the armies is complete.
There is only a faint hope now
that the representations of the pow
ers will avert general hostilities. :.
Montenegro's move is considered
by many to be part of prearranged
plan. 1t is asserted that Greece was
first selected by the Balkan confed-
Grafton to force the issue and inau-

CHOOSING a wife.

An old Virginia gentleman who said
he knew the way to pick wife was
willing to recommend it to young men.
His advice is: See how she looks in
the morning! The old Virginia gen
tleman, when getting married himself
sent his valet across the country to
take look at two sisters in the early
morning. One looked well and one
didn't. One found a husband. One
didn't. So, ladies. beware! these facts
are important if true. And true they
are as sure as you are women. Men
hate woman who looks frowzy in
the morning.

The practical benefits of educa-

Fairchild in his work In Kansas
The conventional treatment of the
sciences in the secondary schools was
objected to by Mr.. Feirchild as I'M

needs when he got out of school 1t

the plan demanded by teachers OF

presented be of things that concern
the active life of the child
THE present text books are for
advanced work and are not practi-
