THE LIGHT THAT FAILS
Philadelphia Evening Ledger.

Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
 Medical examiners of public schools attribute a large share of the back wardness of pupils to bad eyesight. Multitudes of poor women are incapa- ble of earning a livelihood by sewing on account of defective vision. Eye sight is one of the economic assets of the community.
 Doctors agree that trachoma, var ious forms of inflammation and other external diseases of the eyes are caus- ed by dark, unventilated. insanitary and dirty tenements. The prevalence of eye disease among the poor is al- arming. If we want to run down the industrial capacity of the race and raise a crop of blind dependents upon charity, one of the surest ways of achieving our end is to permit the tenement conditions to remain as they are.
 Fully one-half of the social ills from which people now suffer might be avoided if it were made compulsory upon all men to live up to the enlioht- erment laws already upon the statute books. But selfishness and greed in vent thousand excuses for evasion, and the verdict of science and human itarianism is nullified whenever it threatens to reduce the real estate re- turns even by fraction.

 Ordinary white wash will protect trees very well from rabbits. If using either lime sulphur or white wash it will be a good practice to add little salt. This will make the mixture bet ter.

FORGOT TO KISS HIS WIFE
New Orleans States.


 He really meant to kiss his wife this morning as he left the house to go to work.
 But he forgot. He was thinking of the cares of the shop, of the thousand and one matters which concern him in the big world with which he wrestles for a living for her and the kids.
 Anyhow he said to himself after ward, what's kiss? It oughtn't to take such mere formality to convince of his love and trust the woman he has made the mistress of his home, the mother of his children. Pshaw' The chances are she never noticed the om- ission-so why should he worry?
 But back home woman wept. Wept not because she doubted her hus- bands constancy, not because she felt that he wouldn't prove big and true and fine in an emergency, but because, womanlike, shut within homes four walls, doomed to another day of petty routine, much of it to be endured all alone, she wanted that kiss as token and memory-wanted it as proof that not in her case could the poet write:
 He's lost you see, Cause he married me .Good-by, my lover, good-by.
 Now if you MT. Man, made such break as that this morning, do you know what you ought to do? Go home tonight with a present in each hand and plant two kisses where one grew before.

THE RABBIT VS. THE FRUIT TREE

Snow, which has covered the great fruit belt of Arkansas for week has proved Nemesis of the rabbit and boon to the owner of fruit trees. It mas brought about a campaign of an imitation against the "Bunnies" and mas resulted in the slaughter of many hundreds of this pest.
 Since the first snow fell hunters nave been out in force searching for 'aooits who can be easily trailed to uelr hiding places by their tracks in "e snow and the crusade of extermi- Haton in the vicinity of Decatur has resulted in the death of many hun ufeds of rabbits.
 me fruit growers in the vicinity of Decatur are welcoming the snow and are taking advantage of it's white cov- VI to rid themselves of this pest which Aas Tn the past caused them thousands s' dollars loss by destroying young irmt trees.
 :. irobably one of the most destruc- "e agencies to fruit tree culture ss'ue from the disease that the fruit Aee naturally falls heir to is the rav- ses o1 the rabbit. In single night

Why England Needs More Cotton in
 Wartime than in Peace

Judson c. Welliver, Washington cor respondent for Farm and Preside, the national farm paper published at Springfield, Ohio, writes most inter esting article in the current issue of that paper on the present cotton sit uation. His article is optimistic. An extract follows:
 "We must remember that the Brit ish manufacturing capacity is almost half that of the whole world. The British and American capacities toge- ther are considerably over two thirds of the worlds. British mills are not going to be shut down; the war will not draw away their operatives be- cause not over 10 per cent of these are subject to military demands. The country is full of experienced opera tives who can be drawn back to the mills if they are needed. On the whole, it is confidently to be expected that there will be a big increase in the output of the British mills; they will be after the trade that the Ger mans have controlled.
 "That same is true of the American mills. As soon as things get adjusted to the new conditions the demand for cotton will be limited only by the ca pacity of the mills to turn it into cloth.
 "And the market for it will be found. Millions of men are on the batlefields, and they are the greatest consumers of cotton. They wear kha- ki-all cotton. A soldier wears out about a suit month on the average. At home, in ordinary occupation, he might use three suits year, and those mostly wool at that. Now he becomes consumer of four times as many clothes, and those largely of cotton"

COMPULSORY EDUCATION
 BENEFITS

(lnlN OIlC pCi oOii III A,VVo III h ;s unable to read and write, as com ynared with seven out of every 1000 in tbe United States. Of 100000 Danish children of school age, only 370 failed to attend school during the year 1911. Compulsory attendance upon school between the age of 2 and IA is so strictly enforced in Denmark that "the few who persist in avoiding their le- gal responsibilities are punished so severely that they are glad enough to change theirm inds."
 According to H. w. Foght of the United States Department of Educa- ton, the Danish schools are run six days in the week, giving at least 246 school days to the year. The people are so imbued with the value of edu- cation that they will go to any extre- mity to keep children in school.
 School life is made attractive by giving a large place to popular songs. All teachers" says MT. Foght, must be able to instruct in music, whether they can sing or not. The teacher al- most invariably panies the songs with violin, which all teachers know how to use." School music includes patriotic, religious and folk songs.
 Danish schools use a spelling book. Spelling is taught as part of the reading process. Grammar is likewise taught largely through "doing" as MT. Foght expresses it. "Dictation is giv- en from some classic; this is then ana lyzed and rules of grammar are ap- piled as needed" The Bible is strong ly emphasized in all the schools.
 Children at school wear slippers and the girls wear short blommer-like skirts. In their physical exercises, which have a prominent place in even the rural schools of Denmark. the pe- culiar dress of the girls serves them well in giving freedom of movement.
 Mr. Foght says the secret of Den marks high place in educational af- fairs lies in the hold which the teach CT has upon the entire people. Every teacher is professional teacher. The salaries are among the highest givn to any class of workers. Teachers houses with valuable pieces of land attached, are furnished in addition to the already liberal salaries. Teach ing is, from every standpoint, made honorable in Denmark. The teacher has high social ranking, is leader in both church and state, and is invar- iably pensioned for disability or age.
 Teachers so thoroughly furnished and working under such happy condi- hons very naturally exemplify high order of teaching. Mr. Foght says: The Danish teachers draw upon their broad, general reading and experience for much of the classroom materials, instead of depending upon textbooks to furnish everything required. ."- Arkansas Democrat.
