terms of country life" declares W. T
Hodges in a bulletin issued by the United
States Bureau of Education.
In order to discover some Of the def
mite things that have been done in rural
public schools toward infusing into both
parents and pupils the ''stay-on-the-
farm spirit. Mr.. Hodges sent 2.5I3 letters
to superintendents throughout the COun-
try who have rural schools under their
supervision. From the replies many sug-
gestions Of special value have been re-
ceved
Farm arithmetic. farm geography. and
textbooks in agriculture have been So
cured by Berks County, Pa Newton
County. Mo. has succeeded in making the
school a community center by having
work done to supplement that done at
home and by inducing patrons to visit the
schools. The latter is accomplished by
the old farm-wagon and hig-diuner"
plan. whereby as many az ZOO persons
in the community have visited one school
on a certain day in the year.
A teacher Of Warren County. Ind. who
gave her pupils the option Of work in
agriculture or Virgil was astonished to
find that in practically every instance
the students took both subjects, and the
grades rose beyond anything before ex-
perienced.
We have improvised domestic science

kitchen utensils which the patrons Of the
school gave\through a Kitchen shower. "

Z. A Winslow, chairman OF the New

told the American Public Health Asso-
citation, at Jacksonville, Fla, last week,

per cent by raising the temperature from
IS to 70 degrees This effect was NOT
noted IL the room was kept cool, he said,
even II the air was stagnant for eight

standard luncheons, and it was found
that they ate more when the air was
fresh than when it was not Changed.
The experiments will be continued in 4

The player was taken to the Meth

hour last night it was announced that
he was still in serious condition and
that his skull might be fractured.
Herbert was in the box pitching dur

hit the ball Herbert half turned away

and, bounding up, struck him on the
back of the head.
Before going further it is to be

Washington, Sept 9.-The revenge OF

the revenge of Jack Bentley on the
New York Yankees. 1t will be remem-
bered that when Jack faced the Yam

wherein baseball was more slnneu
against than usual. That game has
been sore spot with Bentley ever
since, and he went into the battle this
afternoon TO wipe it out with VIC

games Of his career as a major leag le
pitcher, he succeeded. The score was

Just two hits were made off his de-
livery. One of these WAS single by
Charley Mullen. the other a rousinG

plate, Henry to Morgan to GandiI to
Henry. So ended the lone chance Of
the Yankees to break into the run col
umn. Five New York battcrs struck
out. and Maisel was the only one TO
receive base on balls.
Nor was Bentley content to contina
his efforts to pitching alone. 1t was
his single which resulted in the lone
run of the game, the winning run, and
the run Of which he will talk when MS
baseball days are over, for he scored Il.
