came the usual good time at the picnic

to the public and was very much en-
joyed by all, both the speaking and mu-
sic. The first number on. the program
after the usual opening music, etc, was
a very instructive article by J. B. Pike
of Marshfield about maple sugar. Then
came Prof. Cummings of the University
of Vermont, who came as substitute
for Prof. F. B. jerks of the state agri-
cultural college. Prof. Cummings talk
was on home landscape decoration, and
advised the farmers to make their farm

er was Walter H. Crockett of Mont

would still be secure.
Much more than this, however was
accomplished by him in lifetime Of re-
markabe activity.
He developed the alternating current
system of electric lighting and power
originated devices for economically CON
veying natural gas over long distances
and using it as an industrial and do
nestle fuel; and, in collaboration with
others, achieved marked success in driv-
ing the propcllers of ships at sea by
means of geared turbines.
Like all really great men, Mr.. West

and helpful to the less fortunate.
His memory should be cherished by
the factory toilers and the store work
ers of America particularly, for it was
he who introduced in this country the
Saturday half-holiday, now almost gem

WOMEN SCHOOL SUPERVISORS.

A woman rural school supervisor
to supplement the work of the cou-
nty superintendent of public instruc
ton is the latest advance in rural
education in the state. Such a super
visor is doing most successful work
in Mcdowell county, developing a
few demonstration schools to show
what kind of work can be done in
elementary schools having efficient
supervision. Five other counties now
have women rural school supervi-
sors assisting the county superin-
tie dent in similar way
The plan was first projected and
worked out by L. c. Brogden, state
supervisor of rural elementary
schools, in conjunction with the
Southern Education Board end the
State Department of Education, Its
adoption in Mcdowell was secured
and it is working so we'll there that
it is hoped that little difficulty will
be experienced in having other
counties adopt it.
Instead of scattering her efforts
over the entire count, the McDoW-
ell supervisor this year is devotin 6
her time to ten schools, seeking to
make them demonstration schools,
to show how the country schools,
can be made to train for practical
rural living when they have proper
teaching and proper supervision.
Under her direction, and with the
cooperation Of the teachers in these
schools and the county superin-
tendent, approximately two HUN
dred boys have been studying prac-
teal agriculture, While one hundred
girls have been doing definate and
practical work in sewing. This kind
of work has been done before in the
high schools, bit it is new thing
for the elementary schools.
Besides giving the children an ex
ceptionally efficient elementary
training, this plan is having an
effect on the community. The people
OF Ashford, one OF the communities
in Wn,ca This pan has worked we'll
have petitioned to raise the local tax
from 20 to 80 cents, in order to add
a room to their two-teacher school
making it an efficient school of the
three-teacher type. They also intend
to build permanent home for their
male principal, so as to secure his
services for the community for the
entire year, instead of for only six
or seven months.
More than this, the plan is having
a striking effect on the rural teach
ers. Made to realize their deficien-
les by the skilled supervision which
they have had, many of them, now
that the rural school term is over
are taking practical Misunderstanding
courses of six weeks at the Nebo
State High School. Here they study
methods and practice of teaching
under the skilled teachers of the
high school and under the super
visor. not only receiving instruction
in the most advanced primary meth
DDS, but observing the work in the
high school classrooms,
The supervisor uses one of the
rooms in the high school building as
a model to show the student-teachers
how to make the little one-room
country school attractive, comfort
able. and more homelike. The lectu-
res and class room observations are
followed by carefully planned con-
ferences in which the student-teach-
