Education Notes.

Denver has ten public Fairgrounds
with a teaching corps of nineteen men
and women.
Women teach practical agriculture
in the elementary schools of Tippeca-
noe county. Indiana.
Swimming lessons, sex hygiene in
struction, aviation, and wireless tel
egraphy are some of the new subjects
IN city public schools as reported to
the United States bureau Of education.
The best thing in my section this
year was the Introduction of industrial
education for the negroes by means Of
negro spervisor," writes a division
superintendent Of schools in Virginia.
II cost twenty-five typical American
cities an average Of less than dollar
year per pupil to provide free text
books. according to w. s. Deffenbaugh,
Of the United States bureau Of educa-
ton.
The course Of study in the Alabama
normal schools is to be radically
changed to include such subjects as:
Rural sociology, biology. domestic SCI
ence. domestic art, library methods
school gardening, and agriculture thru
club work.
Some of the rural schools in the
state Of Washington have college
graduates as teachers. In that state
they pay good salaries to country
teachers because they believe that the
country schools should be as well
taught as the city school.

tional awakening, so real that people

Consolidation of schools is going on
to such an extent in the United States
that even with building boom in
progress, many localities report fewer

Senator Cummins, il one recalls cor

ton resolution with the idea OF putting
Wilson in hole.
But If one recalls" incorrectly and
does SO purposely. what then?
There's nothing in the resolution or
in his remarks introducing it that war
rants the assertion that Senator Cum
MINIS designed to put Wilson in
hole. If the assertion is not warranted
then an insinuation is unjustiflable by
any standard.
The fair presumption must be that
the senator acted to protect the pubic

cerned beyond that. If there are those

The Strawpile
H.nd,ino the Ex.Runaway.

When a horse has<once run away he
is always a difficult case to handle.
II have in mind a certain 2-year-old
colt of Percheron stock which after be-
ing driven to cart a numb Der OF times
became frightened one day without ap-
parent cause, whirled around in the
shafts and got away. The colt was
gentle to handle when harnessed, but
very nervous on the road. The owner
Of the animal appealed to me for ad-
vice in effecting a cure.
Another bad habit which this par
ticular animal had was to stop when
ever it saw an object that it feared.
Urging the animal forward caused it
to back.
The best method of handling such
horse is in a breaking cart. The shafts
Of breaking cart should be made Of
green saplings, cut in the woods and
capable Of bending without breaking.
They should be much longer than ordi-
nary shafts, and the traces pieced out
with strong new rope to reach the
whiffletree. With such shafts / have
had three colts throw themselves on
the ground, the shafts remaining as
good as ever. If you do not live where
you can secure green saplings, the
shafts may be made Of good strong
oak but they must always be unbreak-
able
In handling an animal which has al
ready run away, you must be patient
quiet and resolute; bearing in mind
that when such an accident occurs it
always takes a long time to get the
colt nicely over It," In the end one is
usually well repaid by having nice.

Pavino the Fiddler.

Freda and H!Ida worked in a candy
factory al weekly wage Of So. which
they were obliged to turn over in their
unopened pay envelopes to their thrifty
mother every Saturday night.
After the hard days work Hflda and
Freda were always tired and COM
planned bitterly that they were not
allowed to go to dance halls or the
aters: their too careful mother would
not even permit their young friends to
visit them. But cousin employed IN
the office Of dentist came to dinner
every Sunday. She told fabulous tales
Of the amount Of gold used in the man
ufacture of artificial teeth.
One momentous day the sisters de-
cided that in one way or another they
must get the money with which to pay
for theater tickets. They evolved
scheme that one of them would pre-
tend to have a bad toothache. They
would go to the dentist and ask to have
the tooth pulled and while he was thus
engaged the sister would steal all the
gold crowns she could lay her hands
on. But whose tooth should come out
at length they drew lots for It and the
dubious opportunity fell to Hilda.
So It was that the next Saturday az
ternoon the girls set out for the dent
lists office-Hilda q trihe lugubrious'

had placed Hilda In the chair and ex-
amined the tooth. he said he did mol

come out. While she was pleading with
him that she could not stand its ach-

to steal a package of gold foil, also

the pawnbroker hesitated II accept
such unusual pledges, she persuaded
the girls to come with her.
The facts learned, the stolen goods
were returned to the dentists office. It
proved easier to get the girls off from
the rigors of the law than from the
rigors of family discipline. This re-
quired many visits to the mother be-
fore she was persuaded that she must
permit her children to have some rec
reation and must provide them with
money to that end.

SPRAYING 10 XIII Weeds.

The great practical difficulty In de-
stroying weeds quickly over large areas
comes from the fact that cultivated
plants are like weeds in their suscepti-
bility to injury. only are less hardy and
as a result are in general more likely to
be severely injured by herbicides than
are the weeds. For long time to
come. in all probability, 1t will be nec-
essary to adhere largely to the old
fashioned methods Of keeping weeds in
ubjection-namely, careful cultivation.
rotation and watchfulness and the
prompt recognition and destruction Of
troublesome weeds when they appear.
Iron sulphate has recently been tested
by us on a large number Of common
weeds. with varying results. It has
!. but little effect on some and attacks
others promptly. The grasses and grains
are largely exempt from injury, and

with Il In destroying wild mustard.
In meadows and pastures we are
sometimes troubled with white top and
with sour dock. Both weeds are ate
tackled by 20 per cont solution Of iron
sulphate. and with . couple Of spray
ings with a compressed air sprayer.
1t Is possible to kill most of the
white-top and to prevent the sour duck
from producing seeds. at least, until
after the bluegrass seeds and timothy
seeds and hay are harvested. This
matter Is Of special importance because
of the frequency with which sour dock
seeds occur among timothy and other
seeds. With the use Of iron sulphate
1t should be possible to keep the weeds
suppressed so that their seeds will not
appear In the seed crop of the grasses.
The solution may be prepared by dis
solving a 100-pounds sack of iron sui
plate in a barrel (f1fty gallons) Of
water. This gives somewhat more than
20 per cent. but Is near enough for
practical purposes.
