There is no doub but that children who are slight

teachers recognize it, greatly Handicapped by the
failure of others to know this and take the proper

knowing that his hearing is not normal

average normal hearing distance for a whisper is
twenty-five feet. child that hear whisper at

a whisper at distance of only from three to five

w wIILIONS of rats and mice infest our
MI cities and towns, we'll as every
AVA rural section, and 1t has been prob
lem how to rid the country of the expensive
pest.
All sorts of traps have been invented and
many schemes devised and the pests have
been caught and killed in vast numbers, but
the right way does not seem to have gone
into general use.
There is something in pumpkin or squash
seed that will attract the rats and mice more
than any other known substance and the
solution to the problem of eradicating the
great pest is to use the seed from squashes
and pumpkins for bait for all kinds of traps

rT7tERE a great many bright school children
who are unfortunate enough to be classed by
their teachers rather duh and stupid when
in reality they quite bright any other young
ster and this is due to the fact that they are slightly
deaf
Their deafness is so slight that the teacher does
not discover it, and be expected to discover it
under normal conditions their faces do not show
that they are deaf, is the with those whose
deafness is quite pronounced.
But these slightly deaf children do not catch all
that is said they do not quite get the benefit of all
that is read or spoken in the class and they do
learn these things. Then when the time comes they
repeat the lesson and they held to be dull
At the sixth congress of the American School TIy-

devised for catching both rats and mice. The
little animals will go anywhere for one of
these seeds. They are naturally suspicious
of traps and are often smart enough to keep
out of even the most simple traps, but when
traps are baited with pumpkin or squash
seeds they will risk anything and enter or in

If properly used, every seed is worth it's

Coal and the X-Ray

TT is now believed that the mystery Of the formation

4 students will be solved by means of the X-ray.
According to a French scientific journal there are
or three kinds of ash in GOALS First the foreign
matter carried by the wind the rain into the forests
that gave rise to the COAL Next there is the mineral
matter that forms part of living plants Finally there
is generally more less mineral matter due to the for
nation of new compounds by the decomposition Of the
first two kinds of ash The examination of coal with
the Xrays VIII probably lead to possible distinction
between these three forms of ash, and will thus con-
tribute to throw light on the formation Of veins.

Making BABIES SLEEP Under Running WATER

T has often been claimed that the sound of running
water had the effect of ulling anyone to Sleep but
d in part Of the country the mothers go much
further than this and make their babies sleep by
letting small stream of water flow directly their
little heads.
Such means seems almost incredible and one
would think colds and other ailments would result
that would kill the babies but apparently this novel
liquid lullaby has harmful effects upon the native
infants and they lie sleeping for hours with stream
Of water howng directly the tops their heads
This Is done by the native mothers in the vicinity
OF Simla, in India. There the women do great deal

of field work and must leave their babies alone. Few
OF these women can afford earetakers and they resort
to what they consider the next best thing.
An example of this noted while ago when
new road was being built and many mothers were EN-.
ployed in some of the work There little grooves
or resting places along the line of the road that was
under construction and here were seen numbers of
baoles. Each resting place selected because of
spring near at hand. The water from the spring was
carefully directed to the place where the babies were
lying The babies were placed with their heads on
plCW OF earth and stream of water directed to dow
ialrly against the top of the infants head and a
trough was made for this water to off in.

How We Got the Little Word "IF"

TvHE little word TT is one Of the most
important words in the English Ian
guage, and one about which there
has been many dispute as to the origin
IF" is pretty we'll understood as meaning
"on condition that when possible" but
who invented it, and what was the original
meaning of this little word?
More than a century ago an English scholar
suggested that the word "If' was derived
from the old Anglo-Saxon word Gavan and
that. the imperative being Gift" it was
easily changed into IT." thus suggesting the
original meaning to have been Give that"
or granted that" or, as we say, "If."
For many years this derivation was gen.

Anywhere from three to ten babies thus lulled
TO sleep depending upon the size of the spring and the
quantity of water in the overflow. Each stream was
about the size of ones finger made to run through
little wooden spout, to give force to the stream
ACCORDING to English officers who reported this re-
narkabe method of caring for babies it quite sue
cessful Never were such quiet and we'll behaved

orally accepted but as scholars began 70
study the old Anglo-Saxon and the kindred
languages, it appeared that this derivation
ignored the other languages altogether, ana
yet the idea existed and was expressed IN
the similar tongues. The latest research
points to a derivation entirely different from
that old-fashioned one which satisfied our
forefathers, In Old Saxon the word is founo
spelled "Of," and it is only when we STUDY
the Old High German that we see the resi
origin of our word. There is the word "loa'

of this word is ''Ibu" or "Ipu," meaning on

have been devoting this semester
work to the study of vegetable garden

collection of all common grass and gar

These they have been testing for purity
and viability. The next work of the
class will be the construction of some
hot beds and cold frames in which they
will grow early plants for their home
gardens and experimental work. The
ground upon which this work is to be
done was donated to the school for this
purpose by Mr.. Kolb, to whom we are
very thankful. Some of the large COM
