WORST MONTH FOR CHILDREN
Assertion Made That September Is the
Most Trying Period That the
Teacher Has.

What is the stormiest month of the
school year for teacher and pupils?
Some will say tho month of May, be.
cause the children are SO eager then
to get out Of doors after their long
winter Imprisonment. Others will say
February is the hardest month be-
cause nature is so unkind at that time
that everyone feels irritable. But II
you will ask a thoughtful teacher this
question, she will say: THE month of
September is the most difficult of all.
because then the pupils arc restless,
uncontrolled and mischievous. 1t is
almost impossible to make them DO
any good work during this month
The best way to solve the problem
is to bring pupils slowly to the fun
school day within doors. None of them
ought to spend more than two hours
a day in the schoolhouse during the
first week They may add half-hour
! to this each succeeding week until
:, the regulation program is attained
! The very young tots should spend not
| more than an hour and half in school
each day OF the first week, and they
should be brought more gradually
than older pupils to the full school das
within doors. Taking the school veal
as whole more work will be accom-
plishcd by following this program thar
if pupils are plunged the first day into
complete schedule of studies Prof

Fearfully Miss Clarice bored hole

gone completely through the sheets

ribbon. She tied the ribbon in a knot
She rolled the manuscript in a wrap

furtively into tn street, bought some
stamps at the post office, and affixed
them. She dropped the package into

in a happy dream. She had sent her
first novel to the publishers.
She sang as she went about her

Derivation Of "Quarter."

The origin of this military term ap
pears to be as follows: A recognized
meaning of the Old French word quar-
tier Latin quartariusl was peace,
Friendship and "demander quarter
signified ito sue for peace. No doubt
quarter also implied in an earlier
stage of the language las curionslv
enough. it also does today IN such locu-
tons as headquarters and married
Guarters'l some sort of abode. Hence
refuge. shelter" from which the
transition to its dcrivativc sense is
easy and obvious Figuratively il sig
nifies mercy in sparing the life of n
fallen or captured enemy on the field
OF battle. or It may imply clcmency on
the part of the victor in allowing his
foe quarter Of specified length Of
time wherein 10 make peace with his
God before being Dut to death.
