Developing a Photograph

Developing and printing photographs is
a quite lengthy study and much instruc-
ton cannot be given in a short space. De-
Veloping the exposed plate or film should
only be done in the dark room by means
of ruby light unless, of course one
possesses developing tank. Only small
amount of daylight or white light on
the sensitive surface will injure it, The
plate or film is taken out of its con-
tainer and placed in the first solution or
developer, taking care quickly and even
ly to cover the plate with solution. 1t is
left in the developer until the image has
appeared and again nearly disappeared.
Then rinse in water and immerse in fix
ing solution. Now the plate is not so
sensitive to ordinary light and the re-
naming steps can be done in daylight
The plate should remain in the fixing
solution until all the yellow has dIsap-
peared. Now wash Is minutes in running
water and finally place to dry. When
dry pictures are printed from these neg
atives by placing the negative in a print
ing frame with dull side up and placing
a piece of sensitized paper face down on
the negative. The time required for print
ing and the light used depend upon the
kind of paper used, as do also the re-
naming processes insprnting. There are
numerous books and pamphlets published,
number of which are sent free by plate,

Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white pine extract,

spend rather less on her food than she
did on seed for her canary or flowers

1t is due partly to the fact that every
well dressed woman must keep as thin
as possible and they are finding out that
cocoa and apple tarts and cream sauce
are much more fattening than a chop or
steak. And haven't you noticed the in
creased wear and the more than doubled
expenditure on shoes since the glad
skirt became the only sort? Not every
man who has been dazzed by the rapid
succession of new shoe buckles among
his women friends has realized that the
narrow skirt has not only made the
smart shoe seminal but snortens its
natural term of life by exactly half,
Why? A shoe man says that the woman
in a narrow skirt takes twice as many
steps as she did in a wide one. and con-
sequently they get twice the wear she
gave them when she took full strides in
a full dress.
Then, again. women used TO keep them

mainly because the study of music has
never before been standardized. There
was no means by which the parent as
well as the teacher and pupils could
see in each and every lesson just what
progress the pupil was making, and
know that something definite had been
accomplished. The same opinion would
be held of literary studies were they
as loosely taught What has been needed
and what the Sherwood Music school will
offer is a musical education systema-
tized and arranged along the lines of
our public school system"
Continuing. Mr.. Maynard said
"While it is realized that the results of
music study are not at all commensurate
with the time, and the money expended
upon it, the music teacher is not to blame,
for. under the old system, 1t is only
sheer determination and the expenditure
of enormous quantities of nerve force and
energy on the part of the teacher very
much more than is required in any other
branch of teaching) that the pupil is
enabled to make the progress he does. So
far there has been no definite standard
for examining pupils so it was not always
possible for a teacher readily to ascer-
tain the grade of advancement reached
in the different subjects by a pupil who
had received his previous instruction from
another teacher"
