visor had taught from Monday throust
Friday there would have been nc
time for visiting the other six schools
In his group.
The plan outlined for this school
year has been for the supervising
teacher to hold school from Tuesday
through saturday, thus leaving Mon
day open for visiting the other schools
by visiting three schools each Mon.
day the supervising teacher would be
able TO reach all six schools once ev.
cry two weeks. This makes II possible
for the county superintendent to have
n report from an expert from every
portion OF the county twice a month
With the supervisor handling a small

work impossible. There is also the
added advantage that at the opening

are no exception. We have not got
the returns from our expenditure OF
money on our rural schools because
there was no supervision to learn

have been taught In any fashion that
suited the individual that was In the
neighborhood "keepin' school," Nat.
urally the children did not know what
was the matter when they failed to
make suitable progress: neither did
their parents.
Every one knew that the interest OF
both the children and their parents
tagged. They also knew that many
Of the older children dropped out Of
school because they were thoroughly
dissatisfied.
Reports from county superintendent
all over the state show that there Is
new spirit both In the teaching force
and among the children under this
new influence Of supervision. II Is a
simple proposition. II is that both
teachers and children are becoming
conscious OF definite work that Il be-
ing done In q thoroughly systematic
manner.

In this year OF 1913 No matter where
one goes in the/length and breadth Of

localities for larger grounds and better

more carefully selected than IN the
past, and there IL general feeling
that school problems should lie fairly
met and solved.
This feeling has resulted In marked
activity In educational matters In all
sections Of the state. The county au-
thorities have taken advantage Of the
new educational laws without delay.
The last legislature passed a law nj.

provide supervisors to oversee the

SURVEILLANCE
What Happened to a Man With
a Robust Appetite

Harry ClotwOrthy, who is an expert
On military affairs, entered the dining
room of the National Press club one
morning and carried with him Il raw
enous appetite. Having eaten one
breakfast, which consisted largely of
eggs, he ordered another breakfast,
which consisted ven more largely of
eggs. After his repast he went to the
writing room to get off some letters.
Half an hour later the steward Of the
club found the colored waiter loaflng
about the entrance Of the writing room
and asked him what he meant by be-
ing absent from his post.
Il got a good excuse" exclaimed the
waiter, exhibiting the check for the
egg breakfast. "Mr. Cl0tworthy done
eat So worth of eggs, and I amt goin'
to let him git away from here without
payin' for them, high as eggs is now"

David Carrjck's Ways.

David Garrick was Il Ceit and Anglo
Saxon combined. and that Is why he
was so successful an actor manager.
That also explains why he was careful.
even parsimonious at times. in small
matters, but ever ready to give freely.
"He had" says his latest b%iographer,
in an almost regretful tone, "a beauti-
full habit Of sending back l. O. US
with such words as I beg you will

son declared that whenever he drew
Garrick's attention to some cast of dis
tress he always received from him more
than from any other person and al
ways more than he expected. "Sir. he
was a liberal man. He has given away
more money than any man in England.
There may have been a little vanity
mixed, but he has shown that money Is
not his first object."-"David Garrick

The Holiday Headache.

The severe headache which often fol-
lows a long railway journey or a pro-
tracted tour of a museum or a picture
gallery Is usually wrongfully attributed
to bad air. AS a matter of fact, says
DR.. Sidney Stephenson, such head
aches are more often than not due to
the fact that the eyes have been over
worked. The cure is not a cup Of tea
nor a bottle Of smelling salts; it lies in
q pair of spectacles. From exactly the
same type Of headache clerks, typists.
dressmakers and students are great SUI
ferers. In the great majority Of these
cases. says DR.. Stephenson, examina-
