AMUSE THE KIDDIES.
How to Play the "Cut-out" Game With
the Youngsters.

T'oW " roy tHS SNh-SSs ~'"~ '''-''
the Youngsters.
Mothers are often at their wits end
to know what to do with convalescing
children. During this trying time it
takes much ingenuity to keep them in
terested.
One of the most pleasurable things
to boy and girl alike is the cut-out
game. 1t Is as old as the hills and yet
has kept its newness and interest to
this day. The boy will scorn the ordi-
nary cut-out play, but give him first a
blank book. then a catalogue from a
sporting firm, a pair Of scissors and a
bottle of glue and tell him to furnish
you a summer camp In the Adiron-
dacks, such as he would like to live In;
then suggest that he fix up scene in
Canada IN the winter time, with ski
ing, skating, and so on.
The way to interest the little chap
is 10 excite his imagination first. De
scribe 10 him in detail the interior.
then the exterior, OF camp In the
woods: then tell him TO cut out from
the catalogue all the pictures which
have anything to do with tent life,
These include guns. fishing rods, boats,
cooking utensils. cots, etc. Clothing
for summer camping will probably be
illustrated by pictures OF men or WON
en- dressed In these garments. These
figures may be grouped round fire
or standing In canoe or climbing the
mountains.
When the child has number OF IT.
Illustrations cut out let him use his In
genuity to furnish the scene Much
can be done If the mother can draw
bit. In such case she could outline
on the first page the inside OF bare
tent. TO be furnished by the child. On
the second page could be the outside
OF the tent. with the mountain In the
background and a lake at one side.
Further interest can be added to this
game by giving the little one a set of
crayons with which 10 color the pie
tured scenes. Water colors are JOY
TO children IL they can be arranged in
such way that the water win not
spill An excellent way to do this is
TO give the child sewing board.

no danger OF upsetting them.

subjects they expcct 10 teach; second
require them TO ;caea only those ab-
iects. A complete reorganization u
the entire high sehool is advised
dividing the schools irto two groups,
the regional and Junior SCHOOLS.
The regional schools should cover the
last two years Of the presert course
and in addition, offer course in
teacher training; the Junior" schools
should comprise the seventh and
eighth grades, the first two years Of
high school and courses in agriculture
and domestis science. We have, ~
the present time, "a curriculum appro-
pirate TO metropolis. We sloald
expand il to meet the needs of cur
boys and girls.
These statements embody a limited
number Of the many suggestions given
in the report, The remaining sec
tons, dealing with higher education
and school supervision will not be
discussed in this paper.
The entire report is intensely worth
while, independently of its program
Of statistics, criticism, and reeommen-
dations, as a general survey of educa-
ton. We have the benefit of the
pedagogical concepts of such experts
as DR.. Hillegas of Teachers College,
who examined elementary schools,
and DR., Learned, of Harvard School
of Education, who investigated our
high schools and academies. This
portion, which is of great intrinsic
value, whether our legislators act up
on the prescriptions Of the Commits
sion or not, has of necessity been
omitted today, but it fully repays the
patience demanded in reading the en-
tire work.
$50 far, therefore, as the results of
this study concern the general public
school system of Vermont, they are
contained in the recommendation
establish competent educational adj
ministration; free it from political in
reference; give it a free hand to work
out course of study that shall meet
the peoples needs, to train teachers
who are able to deal with its life; and
to develope those vocational schools
which may minister most directly to
the opportunities which offer them
selves to the Vermont girl and the
Vermont boy"

AT OF every material that In dub
III bed wash" deserves Its
IN name In planning your prac'
teal tub dress. therefore, al.
ways get a sample OF the material and
not only wash II. but iron II. Some
colors stand water that change with a
hot iron. Save for the small child do
not shrink the goods before making up.
Some OF the freshness is undoubtedly
lost. and often a woman can wear a
dress an entire season with merely
pressing.
Apropos of pressing, many tub
dresses can be made like new by care
full pressing with cold starch water
Use little starch, dampen slightly
with a white cloth, little at time,
and press with moderately hot iron.
When colored tub dress is to be
Numbered set the color by soaking In
strong salt water or in sugar OF lead
Five cents worth q the latter to a
gallon Of water is the correct proper
ton. Remember In washing colored
dresses 10 use lukewarm water, no
strong soaps or alkalis. When possible
wash without soap and preferably In a
suds. Dry In the shade or at night
Dampen Just before ironing
Just one more word on the kind OF
materials for the tub frock. Much Is
heard Of the wash grapes. They are
beautiful, smart, and save untold time
In ironing, but most Of them shrink
terribly Be sure In selecting these
grapes TO test by measured samples
their shrinking qualities. 1t pays to
get some Of the imported wash grapes,
because they shrink less.
Cotton wolfe. Bingham, dimities, ba-
t1ste. cotton ratines and, OF course, the
cotton grapes, chambray. reps and fine
piQue are excellent for the morning or
utility dresses. For the dressier ones
finer voiles, mulls. batiste. handker
chief linen, Paris muslin and many OF
the new silk and cotton materials are
practical. For more elaborate gowns
the wash net and wash chiffons can
easily be tubbed II properly made.
Dotted swiss is one OF the staples
that should commend itself to every
woman because II is "dressy." cool and
does not need constant pressing.
. Wash silks are also satisfactory. In
deed, many prefer them to the cotton
or linen even for the morning frock.
You must, however, get good quality,
wash In iukewarm water and iron
while still damp. Make exactly Ike
any other tub dress without lining
IL you are inclined TO stoutncss or per

Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
Only in the states of Arizona, Idaho,
Nevada, Wyoming, and Alaska, has
the subject been given no legislative
consideration.
State tuberculosis sanatoria to the
number of AZ have already been es-
tablished in SO different states. Spe-
cial laws providing for the establish
ment of local hospitals by municipal
tiles or counties have been passed in
IA states. In 81 states, laws are in
force providing for the reporting and
registration of living cases of tubercu-
losis. In four states, New York, New
Jersey, Wisconsin and Minnesota spe-
cial laws have been enacted giving
state and local health authorities the
power to remove and detain tubercu-
lous persons who menace the health
of their families or associates. Six
states, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Mime
sofa, New York and Texas, have laws
which give the people the privilege
of voting at general or special cleo
tons on the establishment of county
or municipal tuberculosis hospitals.
Massachusetts,, Minnesota, New Jer-
sey, Wisconsin and Washington grant
subsidies ranging from three dollars
to five dollars per week to such local
hospitals. Laws prohibiting splitting
in public places have been enacted in
more than 20 states. e

state legislation as it affects the pre-
