and the matter of fostering the growth
of her hair claims the attention of her
mother. The hair loosely braided and
wrapped about the head is as practical
and pretty as any arrangement for
the girl of eight and upward. as can
be found.
Unless the little miss has hair of
more than average length it will be
necessary to braid her ribbons in with
It, toward the ends OF the bralds.
This hairdress keeps the hair from be-
ing broken and roughened and allows
it to be easily combed.
To the end of her school days hair
ribbons are among the affairs of i'm
portance which engross the time of
the young girl. Just how versatile
she becomes anyone who observes will
learn. All sorts Of bows worn in
all sorts of ways have their seasons
of popularity, and it is interesting to
note the amount of style which some
gifted misses manage t o achieve in
making and wearing them.

ton of religion and politics, but of
practical application. Doctor Wash
ington himself, in his up from Slav-
cry" admits the great debt that he
owed to Frederick Douglass regarding
the question of Negro education. He
speaks of Mr.. Douglass letter to Har-
riet Beecher Stowe, in which the fore
most of the black race advocates an
education hat would fit the masses of
the newly emancipated for a place in
the industrial world. Upon those
views of the shaggy-maned sees of
Rochester, Tuskegee was founded. Up
on the moral support of a leader who
probably was eve aware of the work
the younger man was accomplishing,
Washington succeeded among the
leaders of both races in the North.

would give the Negro a national holi-
day, let it be in honor of both men
Douglass, the Moses of his race, and
Washington, the Joshua.

Effective Schemes.

Fur is frequently introduced as a
trimming detail, and several effective
schemes are being carried out with
a combination of crepe and skunk. A
charming example is a blouse of the
palest pale-pink chiffon with yelled
fine ivory shadow lace arranged to fall
in a little basque movement owe a
deep bell of black panne, tiny black
dots trimming the V-shaped neck open
ing and sleeves, which are furthermore
adorned by RULES of fine net. The
distinctive feature is a little bolera
of old gold mousseline de sole, the
edges bordered by a finger depth of
skunk fur, the fronts just caught to-
gether by a cameo brooch.

Mountain national park, and has
given details of the exploit in a letter
to a friend.
Longs peak, which is 14,255 feet
high, was considered unclimbable for
many years. It's summit Is reached by
passing from Boulder field, which lies
1900 feet up. through an opening in
the rocky wall known as Keyhole out

covered with perpetual ice and snow.
which slant from near the summit far
down the mountain side to end in a
nearly precipitous drop of a good deal
more than a thousand feet into Gla-
cier gorge.
This is called the Trough and it is
assembled by steps cut in the ice and
snow, which are frequently obliterated
by fresh snowfalls and must be re-
newed continually. So far, none OF
the hardy scalers of the summit,
which include, by the way, an in.
creasing number of women, has lost
control on this dangerous slope,
though stories are whispered of occa.
sional slips caught just in time.
Mr.. Roper, while ascending the low
er levels, met four young men, two of
them with frozen feet, who had been
held overnight on the summit by a
snow squall obliterating the steps too
late in the day to enable them to cut
new ones TIN their descent.

The agriculture department of the
Birmingham (Ala.) Industrial high
school directs its energies toward a
model garden which sets the standard
for more than 300 home gardens. That
these gardens earn money for their
owners is shown by the fact that lie
students were depositors of some bank
even before the school savings system
was begun.
Just behind our kitchen is a small
building which was erected by our
boys. This is the laundry and no
small part does it play in helping us
to realize that Cleanliness is next to
godliness." Emergency room linens,
kitchen cloths, schoolroom curtains
and bags, and uniforms of our girls
and for baseball boys are all kept
clean by it's aid.
The tailoring and shoe repairing de-
partments are kept running to accom-
modate students while the boys learn
the work. Clothes are cleaned and
shoes mended for the bare cost of
material with which to work. These
boys work ch%eerfully that the rest of
the students may be helped by their
skill and keep up a neat appearance.
Besides printing all posters for
games, exhibits, etc, the art depart
ment teaches stenciling, fooled leath-
er, brass craft and bookmaking and
binding in an ordinary schoolroom
with homemade sewing frames and a
closet as equipment.
Thus we have been trained in the
great lesson of each working for the
common good, in using the simple
things at hand and the saving grace
of economy, by learning to do as much
as possible with a little. What the
future holds we know not, but we feel
tonight that our school has given us,
along with other forces, the spirit
with which to go at things, and we
believe that this spirit is going to help
US to find and make a way.
From this description one can east,
ly see the aim of the work is service,
aiding the pupil to undertake the po-
sition in society u present civiliza-
ton considers fit, and elevating that
position by his own ability. In pass
ing through the school this sign
caught the eye:
SHOE SHOP.
Half Soles Zoe
Heels, per tap ..............7Rc
Rubber Heels ............ 15c
Professor Parker said the shoe shop
grew out of an accident; several girls
were absent from school and when
questioned why, gave as an excuse
their shoes had to be repaired. The
idea occurred to Professor Parker
such work might be done in the build,
ing cheaper and better and the pupil
not miss a day. Since then the work
has been done in the school and in
one year 500 pairs of shoes have been
repaired, at an actual cost of the rub,
Der and leather only.
No book is allowed to be lost, the
bookbinding department does the
work here neatly and carefully and
the book is made usuable for the
school library or the student.
