Newspapers In the Schools.

There Is some discussion in Boston
OF the question of adding newspaper
reading to- the public school curricu-
lHm. In three notable articles pub

all express the belief that newspapers
should be read. in the schools
Prof. d L. Sharp of Boston Uni

not be keptsawayn from live children
and ought to be. Much of the read

William T, Miller a teacher in the
Boston schools, has no doubt as to thu
educational value Of the neWspa pefa,
He suggests that beneficial plan for
their use in the schools would be To set
the pupils to clipping items and pic
lures ON definite topics. In this way
the work could be correlated with
many subjects of the curriculum. Spy

of bit OF legislation, an ordinary
class Will bring In large numbers Of
pertinent clippings. The reading of
these furnishes excellent oral practice
and ct the same time supplies infor-

Nathaniel C. Fowler, Jr., says he
would desire every boy and girl be-

OF parent Qr teacher. or both. MIR.
Fowler would make newspaper read

have abSorted the desire to go at It's

teliigencer oil aicnS felt was unwise

country can be trusted. we think. to

THE MODERN IDEA.

Rev. J. w. Speake delivered an ad-
dress before the ministers assembled
ne tho :miaaionafylF institute meeting
held At the SO, Johns Methodist church
yesterday which should have BEEN
heard by every person in the city in
tereeted In the piety and religious well
fare Of Their children, and CO the
ss-ssRE5 sses,lS se.sgs:iS. This address
would have been considered very un-
orthodox few years ago. and even
today there are many who would con-
slider It very much ip advance Of the
times. The Institute was discussing
the question OF the proper way 10 in
terest' and hold the young people in
the church. This subject was being
dfscussed BIZ Mr.. Speake. and he made
'it yer. Plain that he, believed that ,it
was the duty, Of the church to furniah
suficient amusement for the young
people 70 mako them see that they can
get 60 much ainusemel. and fun out OF
the church as they can get out of
aeculaRa and worldly amusements.
o,"God Almighty created the play In

get IL cut OF them. What the church

provide for the satisfaction of this
craving" declared Mr.. speake. He
contended that there must be social

The Inteliigencer believes that Rev.

those, so-celled seSuiar amusements
which are apswsring the cravings of

this without furnishing something to

there nae heen an awakening. and the
people os the church are realizinE that

Stop my paper hui the editor OF The

Monday night and he could not re.

Nav that's q fact and while we hate to
lose this subscriber we are ready and
willing TO agree with him that coarse
newspaper does not figure as promf-
nent item on any bill-of-fare.
Still there IL another side to this

before they decide to quit taking any

believe that in this connection the re-

NOTHING COMING TO JOHNNY
Small Boy Would Get No Change
From Groceryman II He Gave Him
Dollar-OId Bill In Way.

The topic having turned to mathe.
NAUTICAL problems, Congressman Jacob
A. Canter of New York told of an
incident that happened in a public
school.
The teacher was %instructing a
junior class in arithmetic, when she
started to give the youngsters some
mental exercises, says Philadelphia
Telegraph.
Johnny" said she, turning to a
youngster of ten, IF you went to the
grocery store and bought 10 cents
worth of sugar, 5 cents worth OF
soap, rs cents worth Of coffee and 10
cents worth of crackers and gave tho
proprietor a dollar bill in payment
for these articles, how much change
would you get?"
81 wouldn't get any change, Miss
Mary" was the rather surprising re.
Spouse Of the boy.
you wouldn't get any changed" ex-
claimed the teacher. How do you
figure that out?"
"S%torekeeper wouldn't give up" an
swered Johnny. He would freeze

justified, although it is possible that
future investigation may change the
situation in this respect. In the pres.
emit state Of road science, however. it
seems that where traffic conditions
are such that a bituminous surface
on a concrete road is practicable a
bituminous-surface macadam road
would be equally practicable and GER
tainly cheaper. Where traffic is too
heavy for macadam road the btu.
minous surface is likely to give way
and the uneven manner in which it
fails tends to produce excessive wear
on portions of the concrete.
For a successful concrete road, hard.
ness, toughness and uniformity are
the most essential qualities. These
can be secured to a great extent by
care in the selection of the constitu-
ent materials and the proportions in
which they are mixed. Sample speci-
fications are included in the bulletin,
No. 249, Portland Cement Concrete
Pavements for Country Roads,
These specifications are believed to
typify the best engineering practice
as it has been developed up to this
time. They cover such points as ma
t~erials. grading, subgrade and cor.
struction.
