Mr.. Smiths Talk on School Matters.

In his recent talk before the Home.
School Association of South Paris on
"Some Needed School Reforms" State
Superintendent of Schools Payson Smith
spoke in part as follows In regard espe'
cally to ways In which the association
might aid the work of the schools. Only
brief mention of his several points can
be made.
There is need of a greater joint re-
sponsibility In education. The public
school is only partly responsible for the
education of the boys and girls. All
the other influences of the home and
the community have part in the educa-
ton, and the public school can not
cou nteract them all. The joint respon-
sibility of the school, the home, the
church and the community in education
should be much more widely recognized
than now.
Also the association can aid In empba.
sizing the proper relation OF health to
education. We have quite carefully
compiled statistics showing what per-
centage of our school children are ply
sically defective In one way and another,
and yet we find beyond the compiling OF
these statistics we are doing little re-
garding the matter-are doing almost
nothing toward correcting the conditions
discovered.
There is also much opportunity for
reform in the matter of the play OF
school children. Play Is as necessary a
part of education as the study of books.
Grounds and means for play should be
provided, and the play should be proper
" supervised. Attention was given by
the speaker to the moving picture thea
ter, In which he finds both good and
bad. He said We should have (though
40 Maine town is going to do such q
thing) a moving picture theater run by
the community, where there could be
one educational evening week, and
at other times children unattended by
parents or otheradults could be refused
admission II necessary.
Turning to needed reforms within
the schools, Mr.. Smith advocated. q
greater fexibility in the grading and
classification of scholars. We should
not attempt to train all children exact.
| " alike, and hold them by the hard and
| fast lines of "grade." Education should
be more an individual matter than 1t Ia
now made. But no teacher can make II
an individual matter with her pupils
when she is given the care Of thirty-fve
or forty or forty.five Of them. The time
will come when the scholar will 90 for

not necessarily at the end OF the school
year In June.
The children should be given more
varied stimuli. Ninety per cent of them
are going into the productive industries,
and manual training 10 greatly beneficial
iu their education.
We should have the right ideals in ed.
ucation. Mr.. Smith referred to some OF
the wrong ideals, and declared his oppo'
sition to the militarist ideal, which be
would not have encouraged In the
schools, and this brought burst Of ap
plause from the audience. He also spoke
strongly regarding the "show ideal, u

The Fort Fairfield Review says: A
leading citizen of Fort Fairfield who does
much driving spoke to the Review editor
recently In this way: "Keep after the
matter of split-log dragging the roads.
That is the best way In the world to 6x
the roads on ordinary occasions. There
is quite lot of dragging done now, but
not nearly enough following rain. Why,
recently, during the Bolster trial, the
center road was so full of ru ts that It was
hard indeed for even single wagons to
get out of the ruts far enough to turn
out for other teams. The split-log drag
should certainly. be used more than 1t IT,.
The Caribou roads have taken new
lease of life since they got the drags to
going sufficiently"

In a western county Of Minnesota
where the farmers are not as prosperous
as they are in some places, they own
about "a 90 worth Of live stock per acre.
There are counties where the farmers
own $50 to $40 worth Of live stock per
acre and the farmers Of these counties
are invariably enjoying prosperity. Nc

The Professors Reproof.

During a certain athletic event at Q
big university the students Of q certain
professors class. well aware that their
studies had been neglected, were pre-
pared for reproof, but not for just the
way In which 1t came.
At the end Of the hour the professor
slammed down his book on the deek
and exclaimed:
"That's the worst recitation ever
listened to. Why, I've actually done
nhe-tenths Of It myself."-Exchange.

MOST CHILDREN HAVE WORMS

And neither parent or child know 1t,
yet 1t explains why your child is nerv-
GUS, pale, feverisb, backward. Often
children have thousands Of worms.
Think OF how dangerous this 10 to your
child. Don't take any risk. Get an
original 25c. box Of Kickapoo Worm
Killer, candy lozenge. Kickapoo
Worm Killer will positively kill and re-
move the worms. Relieves constipation,
regulates stomach and bowels. Your
child will grow and learn 30 much bet

1t was hard battle with the wind
and waves across French Lake in our
little red canoe; but we came at last into
the quiet and peace of the French river
Out Of the fury of the wind the day was
beautiful and We, after good nights
sleep and with the memory of the cor
diality Of the Youngs fresh in our minds,
we're ready to get the greatest possible
enjoyment out Of our surroundings. just
before the stream narrowed down, We
saw ahead of us-something-it might
be moose-it might be only stump or
rock. Jack stood up in the canoe and

water, huge, sleek, dripping body lum'
bered up out of the water and disap-
peared through the woods, crashing
clumsily along through the underbrush.
heard the click of the camera behind
me, and knew that in spite Of having to
hunt out the little black box among the
duffle, and open 1t and adjust 1t, Jack
had succeeded In getting picture Of the
moose before it left the water.
"Well," he said, 'ff the river is going
to be full OF moose, I am going to be
ready for them" We drifted along
while he put In new roll of films and
set the camera on provision sack, where
be could seize 1t instantly.
Scarcely had We taken up our paddles
again when We saw on the left In the tall
grass near some evergreens the head and
horns OF . great moose. It was cleal
Il that he was lying down; and few
swift, strong strokes of jacks paddle
brought us where he could get picture
There was NO motion on the part o
his majesty, the moose, so We cautiously
pulled up to the trunk Of dead tree ly
ing along shore, Jack got out OF th'
canoe and standing on the tree trunk

While the sun was still quite high We

Indians had camped there and had left
the skull of wolf hanging on birch

We had fried lake trout aud spaghetti
and cheese as the main dishes for oul
supper, and went to sleep on our bougt
bed, happy and quiet, except for the con

across the lake and the occasional cry oI

About CLIMBING Stairs.

Climbing stairs always has been
thought to be very injurious to a wo-
man. yet in many cases, IL it is rightly
done, 1t may be Of real benefit and
gradually strengthen the heart and
shoulders instead Of doing actually the
reverse. Mount the stairs slowly with
the body erect. the head and chest high.
and allow the leg muscles to do the
work. Try this for II week instead of
the old way OF bending the back and
depressing the chest and see how it i'm
proves the general carriage.
A physical culture exercise that Is
unrivaled for giving n an erect and
graceful carriage. Strengthening the
shoulders and making them as level as
those Of a West Point cadet is done by
this same stair climbing. only in this
case with the arms hanging at full
length. The hands should be clasped
behind the back. with the fingers In.
terlaced and the hands turned as ear
~ to pack as possible.
Then. standing very erect. mount the
stairs slowly. and before half the as
cent Is made every cell in the lungs
will have beer expanded many times.
These exercises are excellent for any
M whose heart Is In good condition,
but when this organ Is in a diseased
state 1t is well to avoid stair climbing
whenever possible.

Take Care of the Mouth,
Geo. II. Hebert.
County Auditor,
BOttineau County. y. ID.


Some fortunate girls are born to pref
ty mouths. A very few have the much
sung Cupid's bow, with perhaps the
added charm OF a dimple. Others have
Il smile which transforms az otherwise
plain face. A great many have very
commonplace mouths. with no redeem
ing dimples. And some few. fortunate
mouths or distorted mouths. But no
mouth is hOpelessly ugly. Sometimes
the teeth may be crooked, d~istOrting
the mouth. and here the dentist can
give relief. l;nt. Oftenest Of all. the
mouth is made homely by facial con-
tortiOns. the habit Of screwing up the
lips when talking. OF drawing the mouth
up on one side when laughing. The
mother Of growing children cannot be
too careful Of their appearance.
Whatever the shape OF the mouth, its
defects can lie balanced In a large
measure by good teeth. healthy gums
and red lips. There is absolutely no
excuse in this age Of successful dental
surgery for misshapen or protruding
teeth and similar mouth defects. With
comparatively little pain the teeth can
be Strengthened. and in case they must
be removed because Of their bad indi-
vidual shape new mes will be inserted
on a bridge. not on an unsightly plate.
Another advance in surgery which
adds greatly to the beauty Of the mouth
is the invention Of porcelain filings.
which are rapidly replacing the gold
ones.
