that Covington will arrive In time to take

On cold night q man was hasten
ing across the public square with his
overcoat buttoned up to his chin. He
was rather anxious to know what time
it was, but he was too lazy to open his
coat in order to get at his watch. Just
then he saw a well-dressed man ap
preaching and remarked to himself:
This is a cinch. I'll cen ask yon
genteel stranger what time it is and he
will unbosom."
He perceived that the stranger was
buttoned up just as he was. When he
came up the man who wanted to know
the time removed his hat politely anc
said Sir. do you know what time
it isl"
The stranger paused. removed his
right glove, unbuttoned his coat from
top to bottom, unbuttoned his under
coat, and finally pulled out his watch
while the chill wind cut into his unpro,
tected chest Holding up the watch SO
that the light would shine upon its
face for an instant he glanced at II
and srowled:
'Yesi"
Then he passed on without anottHs

COURSE IN HoMEcRAFT.

In the homecraft course just insti
tuted in the Wadleigh High school
New York city, the attempt to meet
practical demands in girls education
is seen at its best, according to off
Gals of the United States bureau oil
education. The homecraft course Is
for girls whose interest is in up-to-date
home-making, rather than in advanced
literary or scientific study. The work
Is taken chiefly by students who do
not intend to go to college, but who
wish to make the best use of their
time while in high school; and it is
particularly recommended for those
who expect to stay in school only
two years or less.
The course is both practical" and
cultural" 1t answers the everyday
needs of girls who mean to be real
home-keepers, and 1t affords abundant
opportunity for studies that are for
enjoyment as well as work. Domestic
science and domestic art, with house
hold arithmetic, study of vocations,
"clothing-its care and remodeling,
are prominent subjects the first year.
Drawing, music. biology. English and
physical training are required sub
jects, with current history. English
history, and modern languages among
the electives. Latin and advanced
mathematics are conspicuous by their
absence.
In the second year hygiene and sani-
tation are added to the requirements.
and other studies may be chosen from
a list which includes millinery, house
hold chemistry, European and Ameri-
man history. history of women's work,
arts and crafts. and modern Ian
guages.
Household management, required
study, Is a feature of the third year
Of the course. Applied design and APP
piled physics are among the subjects
that may be selected by the students.
In the fourth year the girls delve a
little deeper into the philosophy of
homecraft by means of a required
course on social efficiency. They may
also regale themselves with a num-
Der Of more advanced studies, such as
fundamentals of legal procedure, phys
iology, bacteriology and sanitation;
household design and decoration.
Throughout the course the emphasis
Is on applied. rather than theoretical
knowledge; and the work is so ar
ranged that regardless of whether the
girl completes the four-year course or
leaves before she finishes, she has
acquired fund of workable ideas of
direct value to her in the immediate
problems Of her life. At the some
time the course Is not narrowing.
Girls who take 1t may, If they desire,
elect some of the more usual studies
from the regular high-school courses.
Furthermore, they are prepared to
meet the admission requirements Of
the Columbia university school Of
household arts and similar higher In
stitutions for young women.

FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From infancy.

It is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea.)

ily," writes an Iowa mother, "all of
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.

SAVING TIME IN EDUCATION.

There is a waste Of at least two
years in the present plan of American
education. This Is the conclusion
reached by committee of prominent
educators in a report on Economy of
Time in Education" just issued by the
United States bureau Of education.
This conclusion follows an investi-
cation lasting nearly ten years by a
committee Of the National Education
association, of which President james
Fl. Baker of the University Of Colo
RADIO, is chairman. The committee have
endeavored to form a plan that would
do away with the tWo-year loss. They
propose that six years be assigned to
the elementary school instead Of eight,
as at present; that the high school pc
riod be from IL to 10, divided into two
parts, of four and two years each;
that college work extend from Is to
20 or 16 to 20, according to the meth
cd of distributing the last two second
airy years; and that graduate or pro-
fessional work at university cover
the years from 20 to "a. This would
enable boys and girls to get ample
vocational training after the age OF
IL; 1t would enable those who wo to
college to get through their college
work at the age of 20; and 1t would
save the professional man from haV-
ing to wait until q to start his profess
sional career.
The report insists that the present
elementary course is too long; that
the ground now covered in eight years
can be covered just as efficiently in
six, allowing secondary work to begin
at the age of II.
