determine the causes OF this lneI-
fectiveness. In the meantime the
teacher may well endeavor to test his
own teaching by the best means avail
able.
It is unnecessary to ask whether the
standards that have been fixed are at
tainahle. Experience has already
shown that they are.
The chief value Of the stanards is,
however, in the incentive they give the
children. More definite tasks mean
more successful completion of the
work called for. The child should
have the stimulus Of his own salts
faction with his achievement He
should feel that he is running race
with himself, and he should be able to
mark the stages Of his own progress.
Enough has already been accom-
plished. through the first crude az
tempts to fix standards, to enable the
teacher to determine for himself what
his own pupils are doing. 1t is worth
while to teach the children the mean
ing Of the various standards by figures
as well as by graphs, and to train the
pupils to make graphs Of their own
scores.
Speed. or the time element in doing
things, has been neglected. The
graph gives a valuable means for not
ing individual progress in both speed
and accuracy. Much of our present
oral drill is wasted. We need mora
speed tests in written work. Accu-
racy is a habit to be attained, and will
usually accompany speed.
Among the most valuable of our
drills is that in written addition. 1t
is one of the best for scoring results,
and one Of the best for concentration
Of effort. 1t is also one Of the most
needed. one of the most practical, and
one of the most useful in the transfer
Of ability to other processes. A drill
in written addition may be made at
tractive by the use of the individual
graph, with a definite standard of de-
sired attainment.
1t is true that the greater part of our
school work cannot be measured, but
wherever it can be measured, We are
working in the dark. or by rule of
thumb, if we are not using the best
standards. and the best measures
available.

(Prof. Julian D. Taylor of Colby Col

Professor Taylor in emphasizing the
view that personality is the most dis

most effective element Of influence

among a teachers qualifications. A

knowledge and he must have knowl-
edge to impart. He must have
but the most important Of all
qualifications is personality. When
in after. years we recall our school
days 1t Is not the lessons that our
teachers made us get that are most
| remembered, nor the knowledge that
| they impaired. It is what we got
from their personalities. as it is for
this that our students will remember
us.
Maintaining that personality Is not q
gift merely, not mysterious some-

the emanation from certain moral

dominating in.him, it was argued that
what is regarded as distinctive, If
not distinguished personality might
not only be acquired by the teacher
himself, but that he might well make
it part Of his effort to aid his pupils
towards the same end.
Among the elements that might be
cultivated IN the endeavor to develop
marked personality were mentioned,
energy, self control. philosophic
temper, manner and originality.

It Is not uncommon to find the bes.
informed citizen neglecting his civic
duties. He may daily observe, un-
moved, the dwarfed human products Of
ld-labor factories Of the tpbercular
victims Of poorly ventilated shops and
dusty factories. He may neglect to
register or go to the polls on election
day. America is still conducting the
worlds greatest experiment on democ-
racy. The political duties Of the
voter, resulting from the direct prim-
airy initiative and referendum, and
home rule for cities. are weightier than
ever before. And If this government
"of the people, by the people and for
the people" is to continue a success,
motives for worthy civic action must
be instilled into our junior citizens.

an impressive illustration Of the power
Of an ideal or motive instilled. for

TWO OUTIHG PARTIES

Now that the river is clear of ice, with plenty of water for navigation, the bright spring days have brought thoughts of out door recreation to many of lditarods cit-
 zcns, Taking advantage of the business lull preceding the arrival of the Yukon river boats, parties are being organized to enjoy a vacation on the river.
 One party of tired business men, fatigued by the arduous winters work, will start out
 this morning on the launch Transit, and will spend several days recuperating for the
 strenuous business season ahead of them. l. Is not to be understood that this is to be in any sense an experience of "rough!ng it."
 as IS shown by the lavish supply of cots, eiderdown quilts and pillows that have been
 placed on board that vessel during the past few days to say nothing of the ample sup ply of provisions and such things aS are con taned in jugs. It IS in no sense a fishing
 or a hunting party, either, although of
 course, arms will be carried by some of the adventures to guard against attack by wild
 animals The party is comprised of H. H. Porter, Charles Hurst, Herb Riley, lsadore Bayles and Chris Anthonieson. It is not stated whether Patsy accompanies the party
 or not The expedition will be in charge of Chief of Police Byers.

 Gn outing of the same nature Is composed
 of Henry Weir, John Holmes, Harry Ieager

MRS. O'LEARY AND HER COW

Some are born great and some, like Mrs. Maggie O'Leary, who died recently at Es- canaba, Mich, are elevated to immortality by the most apparently unlikely causes The great fire of 1871, that made Chicago fam ous and gave it chance to grow on better and finer lines, was credited to Mrs, OLearys COW, which is said to have kicked over lamp in her stable in a moment Of
 i'll humor while her mistress was playing the milkmaid The little flame klndled by the COW spread into a conffagratlon that made new Chicago necessary The COW that jumped over the moon made no higher bid for fame than Mrs. O'Leary's impatient animal She placed her owner and herself on the heights of history along with the man who fired the Ephesian dome. The
 ory has been repeatedly denied, we be- lieve, but truth will never overtake Mrs. OLeary and her COW. They live forever in the glory of great destructive event. along with other accidental notables whom chance has thrust upon one of the peaks of recollection Sun.

FIELD FOR WHALE LEATHER

Now is the time to realize on that claim of few years ago that the whale could supply the world with leather. It has been figured out from the war activities of Europe, the silence of the tanneries and the shoe factories over there, and the demands of this country that Americans must make 14,GOO000 pairs of shoes a month right along to supply the world. There is con siderable supply of leather for the present, but the hunt for more must be fast and furious if the shoes are all to be made of leather. South America and Australia offer many hides, but not enough by hundreds of thousands, and they are far away, with the ships mostly idle Then where are the whale feathers, made not so much from the hides of those huge mammals as from the lnsldes, according to the claims of experts? Leather is going up, and substitutes will be in furl- ous demand before long Shoes are not the only important products of hides to be in great demand Harness will be needed more than usual, and saddles galore, Men at war have no time to stop to save the hldeS of the thousands of horses killed in the bat ties or the leather goods they fall under. The cooler heads and hands in the United States are expected to make the supplies and provide themselves with the materials also, and they will get larger profits for their energy if they go along about it.-Worcester Telegram.

quantances plan to remove U the States as soon as they can gather together tbe scraps the war has left them. The rubber dealer knew of others. The three Hamburg Ger mans said there will be an exodus of men with money from that part of Germany.
 We could get along under the burden of taxes for keeping up our armies, they said "but when the war came and destroyed every ones business what's the use? We'll go where peace is apt to last"
 It may be this army of immigration will not be recruited largely from the day labor ing classes Many of them, when the war is over, will not have enough money to get to the States Many will be so crippled and diseased that a remove from their old homes would be folly. Many will take advantage of the rising market for labor which will certainly accompany the rebuilding process of the belligercnt countries, and which will operate under forced draught because so many of yesterdays workmen are now dead in unmarked rows on nameless battlehelds.
 But there will be a surprising influx of business men to America. Most of them will have some money Others will have only introductions and knowledge. But they will all be inspired by profound desire to live in a country in which conditions are not to be shaken now and then by some frantic fear of war They are tired of saber- clanking.
