rAE oNE.scAolAR SCHOOL

Ralph jackson, who attends country school near
Martins Ferry o.. ought to be well instructed He f.
the only pupil in the school, Every morning he rudges
to the schoohouse, and is assembled and brought &c
order by Edward Long, teacher and goes through
all the usual Of study and Rotations and hai
his recesses and noon hour and then goes home after
having enjoyed-oe sunered-the teachers undivde,
attention for the day.
In a way, it's an ideal plan of education it suggests
the system recommended by Rousseau, thC
great French educational reformer. His idea that
each child should have a tutor who devoted himself
wholly that child until maturity. Americans, how
ever likely to take the idea very readily Il
wouldn't appeal to the average teacher to give all hi.
time to pupil And certainly it wouldn't appeal to
the average taxpayer provide separate teacher for
every child and perhaps separate schoohouse too.
Besides it's probably pretty miserable existence for
young Ralph Jackson He hasn't anybody to play witt
whisper to throw paper wads at It's fun play
ing tricks on himself And how can he play tricks OF
the teacher when the anybody to watci

Pacific slope and in Mexico SO far the results
OF the trials have been very good The paper is first
grade machine finished printing paper satisfactory In
appearance and feeling The process is simpler ono
than making paper wood pulp one operation be
ing omitted It takes little more bleaching powder
than poplar stock does
II wire grass is used for making paper on large
scale win big help in forest conservation Al
present in the United states is being used about
three times as fast it grows The demand increases
constantly we TO keep our production and con
sumption wood balanced which is the aim of good for
esry substitutes wood needed in order to let
production catch up with the demand The use of wire
grass in paper would not only save vast
amount of woodpulp each year but by so doing would
assist in keeping down the price Of paper.

sELE.LloHrlNe RAILROAD TRACKS

The problem Of properly Illuminating railroad tracke
at night causing railroad trouble. The engineer
want brighter headlights their locomotives, to show
the track far ahead The officials oppose them insist
ing glazing headlights of danger on the
railroads just as glazing automobile lamps are on city
streets because they blind and confuse people and ami
mails on the track.
is suggested alternative that the tracks them
selves Illuminated that he locomotive need carry
only dim light, or none all. The plan may be oh
iected to as needessy expensive except stretches
Of track where traffic is particularly heavy in thck
settled communities
It is by means necessary however that the track
should be continuously Illuminated. If they were wired
with proper switching arrangement, the lights coulo
be automatically by approaching locomotives
making always a quarter mile halfmile Of brightly
lighted track ahead of train, and darkness closing in
behind IT, That would be a great convenience to tn,
public and the train crews and ought to pay for tse
in the lessening of accidents. It be the railroad
lighting of the future.
