JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Reorganization Of education under
the junior high school plan or some.
thing similar is definitely under way,
according to Prof. T. H. Briggs, whose
review of secondary education has
just been issued By the U. S. Bureau
of Education. t9S ~ E.,'-". ..
The junior high school has been de-
fined "as an organization Of grades
Z and s. or to 9 to provide means for
individual differences, especially by
an earlier tintroductio OF prevocation-
alawork and OF subjects usually taught
in the high school," There are row
81 cities in the United States where
junior high schools are organized in

Junior high school," declares DR..
Briggs, lis thatTit groups children SO
that subjects seldom taught in the
grammar grades may he introduced,
thereby giving each pupil a more m
telligent understanding of the work
of the world, of the possibilities in
the subject and in the pupil himself.
Bridges 4 Gap.
The junior high school also makes
easier the transition of pupils to the
high school. That the change between
the elementary and the high school
should be so sharp permits no justifi-
cation. To bridge this gap by earlier
introduction to high school subjects
and methods of teaching has greatly
improved results, it is claimed.
"The junior high school has further
more greatly decreased elimination of
pupils from school. This elimination

"With the short ballot and with

Uses Of Coke Growing.

The tremendously increased impor
lance Of by.products Of coke ovens
and gas works since the war started
has led to efforts to increase the use
Of coke by concerns that heretofore
have used only coal. The government
has led the way by mixing certain
proportions Of coke with other fuel
on its railways and in it's buildings.
and the manufacturers are following
this example. The coke ovens and
gas works are now depended on to
furnish three vitality important prod
ucts-explosive material, motor fuel
and heterogeneous fertilizer-and it is
deemed imperative that the production
Of these by-products be stimulated by
an increased der( ad for the coke.

before the fall of Richmond, will wig
wag a message from the dome of the
capitol to a comrade stationed on the

be shown by the veterans, while the
up:to.date methods of field telephony
and wireless telegrap.ly will be DEM

DRAINING swAMps AND MEADOWS
Dynamite viii Help.

August is a good time in which Il
drain wet spots in the meadows and re-
claim swampy pastures. Swampy places
and small ponds, except where near ia
rivers or lakes, are usually caused by
spring or surface water collecting on
low ground without lower outlet As a
rule, they are underlaid by hard clay
or other impervious subsols which pre-
vent the water from sinking. Such
places are difficult to drain by surface
methods or ditching, yet they can often
be permanently dried up by exploding
deep charges of dynamite and shatter-
ing the hard subsoil beneath.
| In order to determine the number Of
charges required, buy or borrow a long
dirt auger and bore a test-hole. The
auger should be pulled up from time to
time, in order to clean the hole out and
to see the nature of the soil beneath
When the absorbing sand or grav-
el is reached, the depth of the hole is
noted on the auger shank; this test-hole
must not be charged with dynamite, as
it is too deep. The holes for charging
should stop about six inches above the
sand or gravel in shallow holes, about
IL to Is inches in deep holes. 1t often
happens that holes have to be bored to
depths averaging from Is to 30 feet
before the water-absorbing strata is
reached.
Charging the Holes.
If the swampy plot where the boring
is to be done is covered with water too
deep to work in, the boring must be done
from a raft, and the auger operated
through a hole in the bottom. As soon
as the hole has been bored to the re-
quired depth, pull out the auger and
insert piece of l1a-ineh pipe, long
enough to reach the bottom of the hole
and protrude six inches above the water.
Through this pipe the dynamite cart
ridges are dropped one at time There
is no danger of their exploding, and
pushed to the bottom with wooden |
tamping rod; good firm push will hold
the cartridges in position. The last cart |
ridge but one is primed with a Victor |
electric fuse, and one cart
ridge is put on top to hold it in place,
~ it is not advisable to give the primed
too hard push with the lamp
ing rod.
When the hole has been charged, the
loading pipe is taken up and slipped
over the end of the electric fuse wires
the leading wires from the electric bat
terry fused to explode the charged are
then connected, the joints being care
July protected with insulating tape, and
the raft poled a safe distance away.
The other end of the leading wires are
hen attached to the blasting machine.
Where the water stands only on the land
n the wet season, blast in the dry sea-
ION. The process is the same as above,
Except that the charge must be thor
,ughly tamped in, unless water fills the
,oreholes. Manufacturers of dynamite
viii always send full instructions for
Ising dynamite on request.
