REVISE II. S. COURSES

The high schools of Michigan are
each year increasing in Importance
The last five years has seen a
remarkable movement of rural stu
dents to the high school. There has
also been marked effort on the part
of school authorities to make the high
school teach the things that will be of
most use to the boys and girls. For
the purpose of aiding in this problem
the State Department of Public In
struction will publish in August a sug-
gestive Course of Study for Michigan
high schools. 1t will indicate work
along four distinct lines: college pre-
paratory, agriculture. domestic arts
and commercial. The work will be
outlined so that pupils may begin to
choose the line they wish to pursue in
the seventh grade instead OF the ninth
as at present. This will make the
division between the elementary
school and high school come with the
seventh grade 1t is believed the
large number of children who now
leave school in the seventh and eighth
grades will be held in school by giving
them work which meets especially
with their needs. This organization
will also enable schools to teach all
grades above the sixth by the depart
mental plan, that is by having a
special teacher for each subject.
Moreover the pupil will advance by
passing subjects instead of grades.
Present conditions in Michigan
schools are such that the proposed
plan can be adopted easily Several
cities of the state have already tried
the plan. In other states also the
plan is meeting with favor wherever
tried. Because it divides the school
course into two parts, each covering
six years, the proposed organization is
commonly called the Six and Six plan.

PIeate,l Effects

In many cases the fulness is pro-
duced by the introduction of small
kick pleats, which are pressed down
and only show when the wearer is in
motion. 1t is to the general vogue for
dancing than the acceptance of this
wider skirt is attributed.
At the beginning Of the dancing
craze the necessary freedom Of move
ment was provided by making the
skirt shorter and slashed to a greater
extent than before. This, however,
did not give all the freedom desired,
and, as a consequence, the machine
pleated skirt and the skirt showing
the introduction of a few pleats were
brought out by prominent Paris
house, together with the flounced
skirt.
The full Russian tunic gives the APP
pearance of a wider skirt, but the I'M
der skirt or foundation is very narrow.
Having shown so many tunic skirts
during the Summer, skirt manufact-
urers were somewhat skeptical as to
there being a large sale Of them in the
Fall. After carefully studying the
fashion situation, however, most of
them have decided that e will be safe
to work on the long tunic effects for
the early portion of the season.
The straight Russian tunic is still to

LIBRARY MONEY

ON July 15 of this year the Superin-
tendent of Public instruction will send
to the county clerks of the state a
statement showing the districts that
are entitled to share in the distribu-
ton of the penal fines or library
money in their respective counties.
The approportionment of this money
should be made by the county treas
urer before the first day Of August to
the several townships in his county.
The township treasurers are required
by law to make a report TO each dir
ector in their township of the library
money due his district on or before
August Is.
If the township treasurer has not
received his statement from the
county treasurer within a reasonable
time after August l he should apply
for same, and directors of school dis
tricts should see that their township
treasurer has made a report to them
on or before August Is of the primary
and library funds due their respective
districts.

SEPARATE SKIRTS
TUNES Pleated and Plain Tailored Effects
For Fall

So marked has been the interest in
separate skirts during the past season
that manufacturers are giving unusual
attention to their Fall lines, in antici-
patton of big season on this kind
of garment.
The talk in Paris as to fuller skirts
has not as yet influenced the Fall lines
to any extent. Nevertheless, skirts
that are sometimes wider than the ex-
remedy narrow ones of the Spring
season are being shown in consider
able numbers.

The Colors of Music

There has just been installed at
Queens Hall i'm London a color organ
for representing musical effects in
terms of colored lights thrown upon
a screen, which has been designed ex-
pressly for the deaf. Each note
played produces corresponding
color, and combinations are said to
cause the same delight to the deaf ear
as the harmonious sounds of a COM
position do to the normal ear. The
organ was devised by Prof Wallace
Rimington, and among those who
have become very much interested in
the project is NJ. Alexander Sciabin, a
Russian composer who has achieved
a foremost position in European must
cal circles.

Today's Poem
I'M GLAD HE WON"

"I'M GLAD HE WON"
I'm glad he won-Ive tried and
failed,
Perchance my turn will come again.
A better man I've never trailed."
This is the attitude of men,
Real men, who strive to gain the
prize,
But lose to one whose strength
proved best
Such men are rare and envy's eyes
Are not in them made manifest
I'm glad he won" Can you, my
friend,
Say that when some one gains the
goal
Which seemed but yours unto the
end?
You risked your all, and lost the
whole;
Have you that God-like attribute
Which smiles and says, His will be
done,
I've lost the race without dispute,
I'll try again-Fm glad he won"

School districts of Michigan may
secure the use of fifty well selected
books from the state library by paying
freight and carriage from Lansing and
returns. The books may be kept from
three to six months. then returned and
a new set secured. Less than three
hundred schools in the state availed
themselves Of the privilege during the
past year.
According to DR.. ClaXton the school
of the future, both in summer and
winter, will give less time TO intensive
school study of the ordinary type
probably about three hours; and four
or five hours to productive work
supervised by the school, done in
shops, outdoor gardens or in the
home.

INSTANCE OF SCOTCH THRIFT
Railroad Clerk, Instead of Being Re-
warded for Returning Lost Purse,
Is Asked for Interest.

There was no doubt about the fact
that Jack MacFaddy was a Scotsman.
Last year, when journeying to the
country on an important errand, he
left his purse, containing nearly $500
in gold and silver, at the railway sta
tion from which he started.
He telegraphed the fact on his ar
rival and the purse was kept till his
return a month later.
1t was a young clerk who handed
Jockie Mac F. his wee purse with
the "spondies' as he set foot out OF
the train, and certain wild hopes were
making that young mans heart beat a
trifle unevenly.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding, and when he'd fin
ished he looked up long and suspi.
ciously at the young man.
Isn't it right, sir?" stammered the
latter, in bewilderment.
'Richt-richt! It's RIGHT enough.
but where's the interest, mon?" was
MacFaddys stern retort.

Acquitted Child of Murder.

The children's court of Kings coun-
ty heard a charge of homicide against
a twelve-year-old boy in People versus
Vicuno, in which the boy, being under
sixteen years old, could be found guilty
only of a misdemeanor. The testl-
mony showed that the defendant
knocked down and kicked nine-year-
old boy in a Brooklyn school yard
last January, and the boy died the fol-
lowing July. Expert testimony re-
vealed that the boys death six
months after the injury was due to
tubercular peritonitis, which medical
experts said was germ disease that
could not be communicated by blow
from the hand or foot of an aggressor.
The court held that the defendant
could not have contemplated the death
of his victim and ruled that it had not
been proved beyond a reasonable
doubt that the boy died as result OF
violence, since the specific disease
that carried him off was tubercular
peritonitis. The defendant was ac-
quilted on a charge of homicide

stockings, big, high shoes, foppy
wide-brimmed hat, and around his
neck there was twisted blue
hankercher with white spots onto it.
He was youngish, maybe twenty years
old in his stocking feet, and his face
was awful white, and he looked like
as though he had swallowed his chin
in his fear.
I found these details later, for
when he first bust into view he looked
like a mud-colored streak. Behind him
came Bile, badly winded, all het up,
but triumphant, and with some prop
erty that must have belonged to the
man he was chasing.
"I'll round ye up!" yelled Bile. "a
real sample of the bad man! But
disarmed him when he want looking.
See that"
He threw down on the ground a
big revolver, funny little hatchet,
the blade of which turned in to the
helve, and which might have been
mighty handy for chopping down
grass, and last Of all thing that
looked like spy-glass on three
three legs.

Bile, "and that air things a machine

He didn't tell us any more, for a
voice that sounded like the voices OF
so men all rolled into one yell, broke
in:
"You blinkety-blank-b blank ding-toed,
f1ounder-footed, gangle-jointed, knock
kneed, slab-sided, pin-headed yam!
Leave go of that level! Where's my
rodman? What are you chasing Clar-
ence that way for?'
He was big, roughly-dressed,G likely
looking man, and he was mad to the
soles of his boots.
I'm the surveyor for the Great
Central & Atlantic" he yelled. you've
druv my rodman away and maybe he'll
die in the woods"
Then he explained that they had
come up to make a survey for the
branch road, and that they had been
working toward Moscow when Bile
spotted them and cut Clarence out
and started in for to chase him.
"I don't believe in running myself,
said the man who was none other than
Walters, one of the leading engineers
of the road, "and I don't like to see
a boy treated that way, specially
when he has valuable instruments on
or about his person. And I tell you,
if you don't get him back, there won't
ever be a rail laid to Moscow"
We got him by the pine grove near
Widder Meader's Danvers onion patch'
and brung him back.

AS to Shipments bY Sea.

An important admiralty decision
was rendered by the United States
circuit court of appeals, Second cir
cult in Benner Line versus Pendleton,
in which the court holds that in
every contract for the carriage OF
goods by sea, unless otherwise ex-
pressly stipulated, there is an abso-
lutte warranty on the part Of the ship
owner that the ship is seaworthy at
the time of beginning her voyage,
which warranty does NOT depend upon
his knowledge or ignorance, his care
or negligence. To constitute sea-
worthiness the hull must be so tight,
stanch and strong as to be competent
to resist all ordinary action Of the sea
and to prosecute and complete the
voyage without damage to the cargo.

Bad for DeIicatessen.

The troubles of importers of canned
goods, which have been many since the
start of the European war, took new
turn when several of the big firms in
this city received cable advices that
consignments of French, Belgian and
English goods had been confscated
by the military authorities for the
immediate needs of the armies. One
house representing the only factory in
Belgium packing sardines received
word that the entire production Of
the concern has been requisitioned by
the Belgian government, while a con-
signment Of Portuguese sardines
transshipped via England has been
taken over by the government there.
German firms supplying local import
ers with food products have notified
their connections here that they will
be unable during the continuance Of
the war to fill orders they have on
hand or contract for future deliveries.

METHODS or FILLING SILOS
Careful Tramping and LeveIing, To-
gether With Other Essential
Features, Are Important.

(By w. E. MARKEY, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)
Haphazard methods of filling silos
have spoiled many thousand tons Of
good corn and often given silage a
black eye." Careful tramping and
ieveling, together with other essential
features in filling the silo are i'm
portant.
Corn makes the best silage when the
majority Of the ears are dented, or
just beginning to glaze. If corn is put
into the silo before this stage of ma
turity is reached, the silage becomes
very sour or acid, and is apt to have a
low feeding value.
When corn becomes dry from being
frosted or allowed to get ripe, it will
make good silage if water is added at
filling time. No definite rule can be
given as to the right amount of water
to add, but the aim should be to make
the moisture content equal to that OF
green corn.
1t is very essential that the cut corn
be thoroughly mixed after it is elevat.
ed or blown into the silo If this is not
done, the heavier portions will fall in
one place and cause the silage to settle
unevenly, resulting in much loss, due
to spelling.
During the process of filing, the cut
material should be kept slightly higher
at the edges than in the center, and
we'll tramped close to the sides where
friction prevents it from settling. II
Is not necessary to tramp in the cen
ter. of the silo, for the weight Of the
silage there is sufficient to insure
thorough packing. Silos that are deep
and of large diameter require less
tramping than those of smaller dimen
sions.

Do you give it up? 1t spells potato,
that is. according to the following:
Oh stands for p, as you will find from
the last letters in hiccough; ough
for o, as in dough; phth stands for
t. as in phthisis; eigh stands for A.
rs in neighbor; tie stands for tt, as in
grisette, and eau stands for o, as in
beau.
Thus you have potato.
