this far and are interested, We viii

a first chance. The way it all came
about was thusly: 1t was found that
the stove did not have sufficient
draft and investigation showed that
either the stove pipe or the chimney
were plugged. Now, it is an old
game worked by trainmen to blow the
SCOT out of the chimney of a Ca
boose by putting in bundle o.
greasy waste and blowing the 500;
out. The inventors had probably
heard OF some such system, but de
cided that gunpoWder would have a
quicker and more lasting effect
(Which it did. So one of them hied
powder. When he returned, the pow
der was carefully placed in the |
stove and another OF the young men |
placed the business end of a broom |
against his manly shoulder and the |
handle against the door that all the |
strength of the powder would be ex-
pended in blowing the SCOT out of
the chimney. AS often occurs in
life, the unexpected happened. The
system was a success in so far as it
cleaned out the pipe-for the pipe was
certainly cleaned out. There was
pipe in every direction, SCOT oveI

fective and the young man holding
it suddenly sat down. 1t Was a gay
life for a few minutes and the survi-
vors came out painted great dead

done to the stove and pipe. A shat

The spoken word should have a
place of equal Importance with the
written word.
The place to begin is where
art begins, in that simple law by
putting Nature poets its most un'-
versally pleasing effects, the putting
of like with like.
At all times the pupil must have
reedom-freedom of sele, on ard
freedom of express: on.
Formal technical laws should be
very simple and used always as a
means to an end-the enhancing of
pleasure.
Oral expression should be one of
the essential subjects in the certifi-
cation of teachers. 1t is the princi-
pal bases of all real culture.
