In the School of Life.
81 RUTH CAMERON.

In most schools a pupil is marked ac-
col ding to the work he does. "A bril-
liant scholar. no matter If he doesn
put forth his full effort, gets A. while
the slow witted pupil who does his best
will only receive B or even a G.
In a school which visited the other
day, all this is changed. The pupils
are marked according to the improve
ment they make from one end of term
to another. and also according to the
effort they put forth. .
Now, I should hate to be the teacher
who marks under the second system,
for it must be extremely difficult to a
finite mind to weigh and measure such
provement And yet, how splendidly
| Just it is. Don't you think that II
there is Divine Recorder who marks
us pupils in the school of life. He prob
ably uses that system rather than the
| other?
I'm sure I hope so. and.I believe so.

them married into considerable luxury.
Her husband has just bought her a
house; she has been renovating ano

| of money she has made very nano-
some place out of it.
The other one has a large family
of little ones and small income She
has little time and less money, and
tyet by the lavish use of taste. effort
and self, she is gradually evolving q
thoroughly artistic and livable home
out of a shabby old house.
Now, which is the greater success
the handsome house or the charming
little home? For which of these pu-
pills in the school of life do you think
the Divine Recorder puts down the bet
ter mark?

In the July Woma-1's Home Com
panion Mary Hastings Bradley .takes
exception to the idea held by some
that food should be prepared in we'll
regulated factories in order to save
time and trouble in homes. She says
that furniture making and clothes
making belong to the factory but that
the preparation Of ~ood will always
belong to the home. She goes on:
THE highest type of food-eff1ciency
will be that which provides the nigh
est type of food with as little trouble
as possible, not that which provides
not-so-good food with the very least

FOR A WOODLAND PARADISE
C~hicaGoans Determined That Their
City Shall Be AbundantIy Sup
piled With Trees.

In view of the advance which city
D~eautlhcatlon has made during the
last few years, especially in Chicago.
Arbor day has a definite significance.
Tree planting exercises have been
held in all parts of the city, about two
hundred and fifty thousand white
pine seedlings being provided for
yards, vacant lots and roadways. Last
year 200, 600 elm seedlings we're plant
ed; the year before 800, 900 Russian
mulberrieS, and in 1911 a total of $50
900 catalpa seedlings were given a
chance 10 grow. If all these grew
Chicago would be, not a garden city,
but a forest city. The mortality rate
among seedlings. however. is almost
as great as it Is among slum babies.
II a reasonable fraction of these
young trees grow to maturity Chicago
Will be in time a woodland paradise.
An authority on arboriculture as ap-
pied to cities says the ratio should be
one living shade tree to every five in
habltants. In the absence of a tree
census 1t Is impossible to say how
near Chicago approaches this ideal.
be that as ii may, the principle of
Arbo day is wholesome. 1t is but
one phase of the general tendency of
the day 10 instill into the children an
instinct for some OF the finer things
that older folks have thought they
were too busy to cultivate.
