Nature Study.

Austin, July 21.-Some interest
ing personal experiences of how the
difficulties of teaching ill-equipped
country schools has been overcome
were told in the papers and round
table discussions that made up Rural
School Education Week at the Uni
versity Of Texas in July. One great
bug-a-boo OF the little one-room,
one-teacher school is discipline
hard matter, Of course, when one
teacher has both to teach and con-
troll as many as forty children of so
many different grades Of advance
ment that no n recitation can have
more than sever minutes, and often
as little as three.
At the end of the first day in
such a position one young man sat
down with his elbows on his desk to
consider what to do. II looked hope
less. The proverbial bad boy had
appeared. and the rest Of the chill
dren looked ~listless as If they might
quit school upon the least excuse.
AS an experiment, he decided to take
up nature study-not out of books,
because he nor his pupils had the
money to buy them, but study of
the fields and woods Of his own dis
trict. From the start the new study
had one big advantage: All the forty
children could work at the same
time on the same subjec telling or
writing or learning about the birds
or the weeds or the insects of the
neighborhood. Next, specimens of
these things began to decorate the
walls, and the restless boy used his
energy in chasing a grasshopper
where he had spent 1t in pranks that
kept everybody else from working.
And often when lessons went well
and quietly, books were piled on the
desks and teacher and pupils went
for a hike in the woods.
At the end of the year the young
man found that ms simple expert
ment in nature study had netted him
four distinct advantages: Discipline
had no great trouble: the children
liked school SO we'll that they at
tended regularly; the patrons want
ed him for another veal and to get
him were willing TO pay him more
and to equip his school better.

FRENCH KID SKINS.
Why The Young Animals Are Not Per-
mitted TO Eat Grass.

why inc Young Animals Are MOI Pef-
mitted to Eat Grass.
The raising Of kids for their skins is
m important industry among the
French mountatneers. Softness, deli
cacy Of texture and freedom from
blemish are principal factors in the
value Of kid skins. and to secur these
essentials great pains are taken
AS soon as the young animal begins
30 eat grass the value of its skin de
clines, for with a grass diet the kids
skin Immediately becomes coarser and
harder In texture, and its chief merit
thus vanishes. 1t is. therefore. kept
closely penned. not only to keep It
from eating grass. but also to protect
Its valuable skin against accidental in
5uries that might impair its market
ability.
When the kids have attained a GER
tain age at which the skins are in the
best condition for the use Of the glover
they are killed and the hides are sold
70 dealers.
The superior quality Of these kid
skins. due somewhat to climatic con-
ditfons. Is what has given France the
supremacy In the manufacture Of the
finest grades of real kid gloves, a SUI
premacy that will doubtless long be
maintained, inasmuch as foreign man
