AS long as President Wilson con-
ducts affairs at Washington with the
cool, wise and. firm hand that he now
does, this country will not become en-
tangled in the great war. In his
Farewell Address President Washing
ton warned this country against mix

Europe, and this advice is well worth

Regarding Promotions in the Schools.
Another school year is nearing a
close. Pupils who have one acceptable
work during the past year will be pro-
noted to more advanced grade while
those who have idled away their time
or for various reasons have failed to
do their work will be expected to take
the work in the same grade or class
as they have been in this year.
No greater injustice can be done to
a pupil than to allow him or her to be
advanced to grade where the work
is too difficult and the pupil unable to
understand it. Let me say that many
times a pupils failure to be promoted
rests largely upon; the parent. Par
ents who never know just where their:
children are except while they are in
school, need not be surprised if their
children often become,z:: '"Repeaters"
and are obliged to- take more than one
year. to a grade. " ',,f::
!: Street education is: not conducive to
regular promotions; nor is such edu-
cation iconduciye=t@ good character
and habits. A pupils progress lin
school depends: as largely, upon that
pupils work and behavior outside; Of
school as upon what is done within
the four walls of the school room. :.
Often we have pupils who come; to
school, tired, sleepy and peevish.> The
teacher finds on inquiry that they
have been up very late the previous
night and have had but half the sleep
they should have. Does anyone ex-
pect such ones to do good school work
that day? :
The railroad authorities do. not de
mand that a crowd Of young people
welcome in and bid goodbye to every
train that passes thru town. It does
the train no good while it may do the
boys and girls much harm. There
may be some educational value: in
studying the mechanism Of a steam
engine and passenger car but most
of those who nightly visit the depot
do not do so for that purpose.
A city may furnish the best Of
school buildings and competent teach
ers at good salaries. and yet fall far

as a matter of fact. are generally in
dicatve of coming rainy weather but
they cannot be counted on as infllli-

The idea that the sun is drawing
water" however, is entirely erroneous,
for the lines seen are the result OF
the passage Of light through openings
in clouds already formed. The lines
that appear dark are shadows of
clouds. while the light lines or rays
from the sun are made visible in the
air by the presence therein Of dust or
Watery vapor. Just as the dust in the
air of "a room makes visible the light

Although as an effect Of perspective
the shadows and bars Of light appear
to converge In the sun, they are really
parallel Usually the condition Of
the atmosphere which makes II posi-
bio for the beams and shadows to be
seen is indicative Of the active con-
densation OF moisture. so that when

ants.
OF course, the cows the ants keep
are not like our COWS They are only
very little insects like mosquitoes And
their milk isn't like the milk we get
from the dairyman, hut the ants like
II very well These little cows, which
are called aphides, seem To like TO be
MIXED too, and they are perfectly
content TO live with the ants and be
protected by them.
The way the ants let the cows know
when milking time has arrived is by
rubbing the COWS. The ant strokes
the COW with the two little feelers that
stand out in front Of the head These
feeders, called antennae, are what the
ant uses 10 tell him a lot of things.
When an ant Is separated from a
friendly ant for long time he rubs
these feelers over the other ant and
by some wonderful sense will recog-
nize him as an old acquaintance And
when the ants play games during he
day, as they frequently do. they use
these little feelers 10 tell them a lot Of
things. So these feelers are some.
thing much more sensitive than our
fingers. Maybe they are like fingers
and eyes and ears and noses all put
together.
Anyway IL is by rubbing these feel
ers on the cows that the aphis knows
milking time has come In mo-
ment there is nice drop of sweet
milk given up by the COW, and the
ants drink 1t greedily So il isn't to
be wondered at that ants take such
good care Of their cows. when the
cows are SO willing To supply the ant
colony with milk whenever milking
time comes And II isn't TO be Won
dered at, either that the COWS are
glad 10 supply milk when they can
live with such wonderful home-build
ers as the ants, and are SO well pro-
teeted and cared for as they are by
these little insects. who are busy all
day long, working. storing up food and
attending To their business With in
credible intelligence.

half a pound OF bread is more than

The COWs That the Ants Keen
MosQuToIIKE CREATURES FURNISH FOR THE MOST
WONDERFUL INSECTS
(kansas CIty starl


Down under ground lives that most
wonderful Of an the insect creatures Of
the earth-the ant Right in the
same great house OF a hundred rooms
live the soldier ants, with their won
derful Jaws for fighting. and the
slaves that do all the work. and, cd
dest Of all, the COWS that the ants
milk daily.
II Is "A great house In which The ants
live. II Is much larger than the
buildings erected by man--that Is,
when you compare the sizes OF the
ants and the mon who do the work.
There are great halls and many,
many rooms, aud In others they store
theig eggs. In still other chambers
they store away seeds that will serve
for food when the long winter months
come on. And for fear that some Of
the seeds may start to grow into lit
tie plants and no longer be good for
oofd. the industrious ants take them
to the surface ana dry them in the
sun, and then carry them back TO
their warehouses once more.
And at night, when the sun is set
ting and the days labors are over,
the last ants coming through the
main doorway into the big under
ground temple carefully close up the
entrance They place a few sentriea
to watch for signs of danger while the
others are sleeping through the night.
And woe betide the enemy who daros
encroach upon their home. For the
big jawed soldier ants seurry forth at
first intimatinn OF danger and give
battle in a fearless manner.
But this story Is about the COWS
that the ants keep. The ants not only
take good care OF the COWS, but they
watch over the eggs from which the
cows are Matched and guard them just
as carefully as they do their own eggs.
Whenever an ants nest Is uptumed

sets to work Immediately carrying
