Housekeeping Tips

Stale bread is always useful for
1 bread sticks and croutons to serve
with soup. Cut into slices half inch
thick. For the croutons cut into
cubes, and for the bread sticks cut
3-inch lengths. Spread before 'cut-
ting with butter and toast golden
brown.
A delicious sour cream dressing for
fruit salad is made with cup of rich
sour cream, into which a half cup Of
melted butter is stirred gradually.
This, blended with a variety Of cut
\ fruit such as pineapples, bananas, and
oranges, and nut meats, or some dates,
is most appetiZing spread on crack
ers as luncheon dish.
A pretty garnish for salads is
i mayonnaise jelly. Melted gelatine is
added TO the mayonnaise and then the
dressing is allowed to harden. Cut
into cubes as one would aspic jelly.
Warm weather ironing has it's prob
lens in keeping the sadirons hot
enough without making the room too
warm. a large baking pan placed up
side down over the irons causes them
to heat quickly and to retain the heat
over a slow fire.
To perfume handkerchiefs break up
a quarter OF an ounce Of orris root and
tie up in piece of muslin. Boil with
the handkerchiefs for a quarter of an
hour, using three pints of water to a
quarter ounce of orris root When
dry iron carefully and YOU will find
your handkerchiefs will retain a del
icate violet odor.
To clean silver put quantity of
sour milk in a shallow pan and place
the articles i'm the milk letting them
remain there till they become bright.
Afterward wash them in warm water
which contains a few drops of am
monia, and your silver will be bright
and clean.
Plate glass shelves are much used
over wash basins in bathrooms, as
they look well and are easily cleaned.
If YOU use one be sure To set IL on a
very slight angle, sloping toward the
wall, so that articles placed upon it
will not slip off into the wash basin
and break it. small washer placed
under the lower arm of the brackets
will give the desired slope.
1t is well TO look at all canned or
preserved fruit week or so after it
is made BY that time air bubbles will
have arisen, if they are to appear.
When these are evident cook the fruit
again.

ing aloud and singing should be a
substantial part of every rural schools
program. The practice OF English
composition should mainly consist of
writing descriptions Of what the child

These improvements i'm rural
schools cannot be made without
spending more money than towns and
counties have been in the habit of APP
propriating; but no town or county
expenditure will be so profitable to the
community as the expenditure which
makes these changes possible.
In order to put these improvements
into execution on a large scale all
normal schools will have 10 prepare
their graduates to give instructions in
the subjects and methods indicated.
Some normal schools are doing that
now, but by no means all.
In the meantime oranges, farmers
clubs, bankers and manufacturers
associations, endowed educational
boards. and private givers may well
promote literally this much needed
reform. Charles w Eliot.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES

Patrons OF our Schools.
DR.. ELLIOTT WRITES
ON THE RURAL SCHOOLS

Ito letter TO THE Banker Farm
or" of Champaign, I'D
There is a great need for thorough
reconstruction of the programs of the
rural schools. The instruction which
they now provide in reading, writing,
and arithmetic should not be dimish-
ed in amount, but altered in nature.
The greater part of the direct in
struction should relate to natural his
tory. agriculture, and farm life, and
the books used for teaching, reading,
and spelling should be on these sub
iects, with additional primers on geo
graphy American history, and civics.
The arithmetic should be confined
to the simplest examples in addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and divi-
sion, decimals being made familiar al
most from the start; for the well
taught child will learn about tenths
and hundredths as quickly as about
tens and hundreds.
All the child's reading and all the
teachers's oral instruction. should be
illustrated with concrete examples;
and every child should be trained TO
sec, hear, and touch accurately, and to
remember what it thus learns by OBJ
servation. An important part Of the
school program should be devoted to
the training of the senses, and to this
kind of training of the memory. No
matter what system be employed in
teaching reading every child should
learn the alphabet by heart; and
whenever change is made in the
system of teaching the children to
write-such changes have been too
frequent of late-the change should
apply only TO beginners and not to
the children who have already prac-
ticed long the rejected system.
In the last two years of the rural
schools course every child should
learn the elements of agriculture and
gardening, and should have n garden
plot TO cultivate. Prizes should be
offered for the best plots of vege-

Today's Poem
TOTHE PESSIMIST
@@uu@G


Shall the measure of our time be vast
The stretch towards oblivions
shores
In crushing life's fruits all untasted
Except for the seeds and the core?
While the fountains of earth are swift
flowing
And run to the overfed seas.
Shall we scorn the full crop of our
knowing
And drink but the scum and the
lees?
Shall the promise of truth fall unheed-
The incoming joy Of the days
While our shadow of sorrow is speed
To stretch Ger the light on our
ways?
Shall the song that earth's fullness is
singing
Be shut from our obstinate ears
While each fibre within us is clinging
To echo of st-falling tears?
Shall we forfeit to-day and it's pleasure
And count to-night's offer amiss-
Thrust forth from our souls the one
treasure
The exquisite nearness of bliss?
Shall eternitys span bring but sorrow
And write but a bloodprinted scroll,
While to-day, and through every to-
morrow,
The wheels Of mans victory roll?

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
T.. ii. Blake Tells of What Has Been
Done In Tennessee Under New
Law.

Greenwood July 3O.-There is an
honest man who doesn't VIZ mt to be
satisfied. He wants to go to Heaven
mainly because he thinks he can't get
there, but if ST. Peter should suddenly
open the door and say Walk in. I've
found a seat for you at last this
same fellow would hang around the
gate and argue that the seat might
not be good enough
SO now when ii is clear that an
average of six moro pupils in each
school in South Carolina would take
care of the 10000 children that a
compulsory attendance law would put
into the schools, everybody will admit
that our schools are ready for them
now, unless perhaps it be the man
who would stop outside the peally
gates in the rain to make sure that
the seats were just right and there
was no leak in the roof Of heaven.
Those parents who love their chill
dren most are the kind who would
rather see them sit on dry goods
boxes or nail kegs, learning something,
until benches or desks could be made.
than to think Of their children sit
ting at the rock pile later on, through
ignorance, or at best sweating for a
lifetime as the laborer Of the play
mate who got more education. But,
Mr.. Editor, why argue when nearly
all our people are now agreeing that
we must have compulsory educa-
ton?
Our Southern neighbors in Ten
nessce passed q Statewide law last
year and here is what State Superin-
tendent Samuel H. Thompson says
about it in q lette' Of July 10th:
Il do not believe that education in
Tennessee has made greater progress
under the compulsory education law.
However, this has been in effect only
one year. Many of our county SUPER
intendents have reported to this Of
flee that their average daily attend
ance was increased during the year
about 25 per cent.
Il am unable to say lat this time,
about the attendance Of the negroes,
but | am inclined tO think that tba in
crease in average daily attendance was
greater prOpOrtionately among the
whites than it was among the ne
grOes.
"Our people, in general, seem very
we'll pleased with the compulsory law
and are not trying to get it repealed.
