CHILDREN AS CHEMISTS

School children test milk for the public in Gary. Indiana, Says Ran doIph S. Bourne in The New Repub- lie.
 t'In the chemistry class at the Elm erson School actually found children doing the necessary chemical work for the city. The class was simply an extension of the municipal laboratory. Gar, of course, has the good fortune, or good sense to have as chemistry teacher the municipal chemist. The older children act as his assistants. With him the class tests the city wa ter. the various milk supplies of the town. Under the inspector, they visit dairies, workshops, bakeries and food stores.
 Last year they published a milk bulletin containing general informa- ton and reports of their tests.9I could not see that it was essentially inferi- or in quality to one that the agricu1- tural school might have issued When came upon this class they were test ing hugars and candies, from the diff ferent shops in the town, for purity and for coloring matter. Another class was experimenting with soft drinks, studying questions of solutions, sus- pension and specialization, with ram ifications, was told, toward the physiological effect of certain pro- ducts. The children were practically deputy food inspectors and made re- ports on the official blanks. The chem ist assured me that he had not lost case in prosecuting for violation of the pure food laws.

FoDAY's POEM
AN AMERICAN IN EUROPE.

 'T1s fine to see the Old World, and
 travel up and down, Among the famous palaces and cities [ of renown, To admire the crumbIy castles and
 the statues of the kings But now think I've had enough of
 antiquated things. So it's home again, and home again,
 America for mel My heart is turning home again, and
 there I long to be. Tn the land of youth and freedom be-
 yOnd the ocean bars. Where the air is full of sunlight and
 the flag is full of stars Oh, London is a mans town. there's
 power inNthe air; And Paris is a womanss town, with flowers in her hair; And it's sweet to dream in Venice, and
 it's great to study Rome, But when it comes to living, there is
 no place like home I like the German fir woods, in green
 battaIions drilled; like the gardens of Versailles, with
 flashing fountains filled; But, oh, to take your hand, my dear, and ramb1e for a day, In the friendly western woodland,
 where nature has her way!N know that Europe's wonderful, yet
 something seems to lack; The past is too much with her, and
 the people looking back. But the glory of the present is to make the futuTe free We love our land for what she is and : what she is to be. Oh. it's home again. and home again,
 America for me! want a. ship that's westward bound
 to blow the rolling sea, To the blessed land of room enough
 beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is fulI~of sunlight, and
 the flag is full of stars.

STOP GOING WITH HIM
 IF HE TAKES WINE
Dear Miss Ldbbex.

Dear Miss Libbey;-
 am a girl of sixteen, Keeping com pany. with a, boy past nineteen. He acts as if he loves me dearly and has told me so. He has promised me that he would not indulge in drink. But he showed signs of wine Sunday. My mother advised me not to go with him any more. T am very much pug zIed. I love him. but not as well as I did. Please advise me as to what did. Please advise me what to do. I have told him he would have to quit drinking stimu1ants or stop Eo- ing with me. Do you think he will if he tells me he won't.
 Only a few who break the pledge reform The young man who has the habit of drinking should never be encouraged to visit a young lady. It is folly to think that your love for him or influence if wed to him. would re- form him of this habit. You would find your life blighted unless he was one of the few who firmly resist drink for loves sake.

ARE ACTORS
 MARRYING MEN? 1?

.9ro wake the soul by tender strokes of To raise the genius, and to mend the
 heart;
 To make mankind, in conscious virtue
 bold,
 For this the tragic music hrst>trod the
 stage"
 It is the heart of a man which should be reckoned with-not his oc- cupatfon. There is no class of nor nal men the whole world over, barred from wed1ock. Actors have the same love natures. craving for wife, children and home life as those of other pur- suits, but they are usually wise enough in the beginning of their careers deft1y to elude ensnaring love, courtship and wedlock.
 That they have a score or more Of opportunities to other mems one or two cannot be gainsafd. They are brought constantly before the atten- ton of the most romantic and beauti- full of women-thoughtfu1, noble, sen sible girls, and foolish ones.
 It must be conceded the gentlemanly actor would have little difficulty in taking unto himself 9 wife He is pos sessed of, good, sound, practical judg- l ment. He looks, and perchance ad- mires many a pretty face from across the footlights and tears up the great number of scented, pink-tinted notes that reach him in every mail without regret, nor giving them any further thought, for he has made up his mind until his salary brings him a safe and sure dependence that would amply maintain wife that to steer clear from all womankind is his safest and best plan. He looks cold facts square | 1xy in 17o SI1a 11o =, wife-to live away from-work, slave and starve to maintain a home-to live not of-rear children he could scarcely ever see to love and fondle? He, of all men. knows the value of and ap- preciates the blessing most of loved ones, all his very own-at home. To him hope and longing. point one way, ambition another. He makes worthy resolves about marrying, but he finds, I like every other man, that he has to contend with 8. mighty juggler of hu- man affairs that he had not consid- cred in his careful calculations Cupid
 When the arbiter of his destiny takes a part in the Jklarriage game, he might as well throw up his hands and yield I to what is to be graciously which, , Isummed up, means the actor may es- cape matrimony longer perhaps than the majority of his felIoWmen. but his hour to capitulate to woman's charms l VIII come soon or later. When that | time comes, he will wed. There are actors who have wed women who have Inever trod the boards, but the ma ljority of them wed some sweet, ambf- 1 tious girl who graces the footlights, whose life has run in the same groove with their own, who knows the trials, the irksomeness, the anxieties of the hard life, the bird-on-the-wing feeling. and that home is where their trunks are He hasn't the fear of leaving her lbehind him. She can work side by Iside, shoulder to shoulder, and heart to heart with him.
 There is much to commend the mar rfage of an actor with one of the pro fession, but much to discourage it with the beautiful girl who fell in love with him at first sight--and must be left to her own devices to find pleasure as best she can the greater part of the

GIRL IS CHARMING
 WHEN NATURAL
Dear Miss Libbex:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 We are two young girls of eighteen. and haven't had much young gentle men company, but would like to know what to say when a boy says he has enjoyed an evening with you. Would it be proper to thank him and say that you also had a, good time. Your advice will be greatly prized.
 evening with you, it is natural for you to reply brightly: '.I assure you the pleasure has been mine!'' Always try to converse as well as to reply nat urally in company. One shouIds never chat by rule of measured words. A girl is never so charming as when she's natural in company.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Full
er of the Fuller Drug Co., each
schoolroom of the city has been pre-
sented with globe of goldfish, to
the delight of the children. This
adds much to the attractiveness of
the room.
A set of "The Book of Knowl-
edge, in twenty volumes, has been
added to the library for the upper
grades. This is cyclopedia for
children, beautifully illustrated and
Interestingly written. 1t is to be
used for reference, in connection
with their studies, and as a source
of material on topics assigned by the
teachers.
The following magazines have
been subscribed for, for the use of
the High school: The Century Maya
zine, Scribner's, Worlds Work, Lit
erary Digest, The Outlook, American
Boy, Illustrated World, Woman's
Home Companion, Bay View Maga
zine, Geographic Magazine, Indepen-
dent, Current Opinion, Bookman,
and Good Housekeeping.
In addition to the foregoing, the
grades have been provided with sub
scriptions to the following juvenile
periodicals.: Youths Companion, st.
Nicholas, Worlds Chronicle, Some
thing to Do, Boy Life, The American
Boy. The Pathfinder, Little Folks
Magazine. These are provided for
from the library fund. Pupils are
allowed to take them home to be
returned the next morning.
The students and pupils are show
ing civic pride in keeping the school
grounds free from waste paper and
other litter.
BY the way, how much the alb
sence of waste paper on the streets
and vacant lots would help their ap-
pearance! 1t would greatly help
the looks of our city if the council
would pass an ordinance against the
disgraceful habit, as has been done
elsewhere. Garbage cans at street
corners would be an aid in this di-
rection. Why not? Let's.
