I name of Riki-Tiki- Tavi in the
Jungle Book" is a very attractive
little hero, but no matter what the
mongoose may be in India, in
America he is a nuisance. When no
snakes are available to appease his
appetite he does not scorn chickens,
young pigs. kids. lambs, puppies,
kittens, vegetables and fruits
Still another instance of the ease
with which experiments of this kind
run away with the experimenters Is
the Austrian rabbit. Rabbits were
originally brought to Australia 10
provide sport for the early settlers.
1t proved expensive sport.
millions of dollars" says a re-
port of the department of agricul-
ture, have been spent for bounties,
poisons and various other methods
of destruction; thousands OF miles OF
rabbit-proof fences have been built
and hundreds of schemes for de-
stroying the animals have been sug-
gested, but nothing has Yet been
found that will effectually extermi-
nate the pest"
The English sparrow is also an
instance of an anticipated blessing
that turned into a curse, and some
thing OF the same sort is feared in
connection with the starting.
1t can in fact be safely asserted
that no one is able to predict accu-
rately what will be the behavior of
any form of life when taken from
it's accustomed environment and
placed in new surroundings, but the
great majority of the pests which
have been brought from Europe and
gained a foothold here have been
vastly more destructive in this coun-
try than they showed themselves in
their old homes. They are freed from
their natural enemies who formerly
preyed upon them, they find a longer
summer, and in consequence longer
breeding season than they are accus-
toned to, and the large scale on
which American agriculture Is con-
Quoted does not permit so readily of
restrictive measures as the limited
holdings and intensive cultivation
general in Europe.
In the course of centuries it is prob
able that nature, left to herself,
would find means to reduce their
ravages to the original dimensions,
but q century or two, a mere trif1e
in the eyes of nature, is long time
to the farmer, who sees his crops fail
and his live stock sicken. For this
reason the governments of all new
countries are today extremely wary
of importations that may produce re-
suits quite different from those that
are hoped for. On the other hand,
the Old World Is by no means so re-
ceptive to pests that reach 1t from
the new. Many die out completely
and few prove a serious scourge. An
important exception to this, however.
is the phyllox-era, which has worked
untold evil in the vineyards OF
Europe. The disease was brought
from America in a shipment of rooted
vines to France In 1852 Since then it
has proved itself a pest of greater
devastation than 1t was capable of
here.

It is the habit of one household

and hung up after each using) cut
up the peel as soon as convenient

it is soft Some of the orange peel
is cut in small and some in large
pieces. The small pieces, also

In boiling water for flavor. Use on.

peel. Lemon may be used in flav-

has been cut it must be dried a

Surely Fitted for the Job.

A farmer who lived in a certain
rural village had 20 employees ON
his farm, and as none of them was
as energetic as the farmer thought
he should be, he bit upon a plan
which he believed would cure them
of their lazy habits.

Instantly 10 of the men stepped

Once upon a time a man remem-

an from the effect of the shock.

SUGGESTS NEW PLAN FOR
SCHOOL READING:
M U. Professor Would Make Work
More Effective and Inter-
estng to Pupils.

The public school is one of the
most wasteful institutions in the
state" says j. l.. Merriam, professor
of school supervision at the Univer-
ity of Missouri at Columbia. 10
Illustrate this waste, take the buying
of school books. When class of
thirty ruIs out of reading matter
the parents pay $40 for thirty new
books, all alike. They have bought
only 100 pages of new reading ma
terial. That clas5 had better been
supplied with different books which
would give the pupils thirty times
the amount If reading they are now
getting in a large percentage OF
schools"
Professor Merriam says that read
ing is more efficiently taught from
different readers than when each
pupil has read the story two or
three times. There is no chance
for the pupil to become interested
in what another pupil is reading if
the story is stale to him. Again.
there is no incentive to the reader
to try to read well when he knows
that no other pupil cares anything
about his reading
Put new story into that pupils
hands. He is interested in it. He
knows that the rest of the class is
interested, too Then he has an in
centive to do good reading
Professor Merriam recommends
that teachers gather clippings and
have pupils gather clippings of
stories that interest them. A file
of stories gathered in this way will
soon be an interesting part of a |
reading course.
In the University of Missouri FL
ementary School, which is under
the direction of Professor Merriam
as practice school for the students |
in the School of Education, there is |
a large file of this sort extending
over a number of years. Now, |
when a class is going to study a |
given SUBJECT, squirrels, for instance,
the teacher can turn to the file and
have perhaps fifty stories to read
on this subject.
To aid in getting the teachers in
terested in better methods of teach
ing. Professor Merriam with the aid
of the teachers in the University
Elementary School is working on
two books dealing with reading in
public schools. The first is a dis
cussion of the school curriculum
with suggestions for changes, bet
terment, or variation. The second
is a series of guides for teachers in |
the selection of readings for the
pupils.
