presents this year a multiplicity of ami

walking the rope, sits down and rides
a bicycle. He's a bear One of his
mates roller skates all over the stage
and cuts the figure s like an expert.
That's nothing. Mile Marcella pre-

parrots and macaws displaying almost
human intelligence. And then there is
Adgie and her hons-twelve tawny

not the friskiest lot of children that

are, anyway. And for playthings! Ele

ticularly for the reason that they are
deprived of actual home life a great
part of every year. The circus women
sew and many do exceedingly pretty
fancy work. They don't have to keep
their circus clothes in order. The cir
Gus mother does that, and a large "art

throng of assistants and is as expert
at cutting a pattern for trappings for
an elephant or camel as a fashionable

of age, she is as lively as the proven

Results of Plan
S. o. Hartwell, superintendent of

years of experience with departmental
plans approaching the junior high
school arrangement, claims the results
In increased enrolment in work done,
and especially in the growth of the
ninth grade through the familiarity of
the eighth with the work and methods
of the ninth, caused the adoption of
the same plan when a new building was
erected in the southeastern part OF
the town eight years ago. He says: I
see no logical escape from the neces-
sity of arranging the work of grade
seven or eight more nearly on the basis
of high school than has as yet been
possible. With the growth of depart
ments of knowledge requiring attention
and the established necessity of keep
ing the day at twentY-four hours, we
must give the possibility of choice and
the advantages of differentiated
courses earlier than hitherto He be-
lieves that the number of studies to be
undertaken in these grades ought to
be reduced and the method of options
Is the only way to do it. If this be
true. the best organization as yet
shown is the departmental plan and
the seventh, eighth and ninth grades
make a sensible unit.
