New School Law.

That the law passed by the 1913
legislature providing for the employ
ment of supervising teachers for rural
schools is of real benefit is indicated
by experiences of workers already in
the field.
Aside from the immediate improve
msnt of the schools. the new law
opens up field of investigation and
report that must in the end be OF last
ing benefit
Interesting information in regard 70
the working of the law is found in the
special supervising teachers number
of the Educational News Bulletin,
publication issued by the office OF the
state superintendent of schools.
The law went into effect late in the
summer of 1915. and because of the
necessity of organizations not much In
the way of results was expected Tor
that year Before the arrival cf the
Christmas holidays however, eighty
one supervising teachers had begun
their work in different sections of the
state Question blanks were sent by
Superintendent Cary to these teachers
to find out what work had been accom-
plished
Many counties reported interesting
methods and results which could not
be reduced TO figures" the News Bull
letin says. "All replies, however. gave
statistical information as to the
schools visited. Some of the results
showed excellent work on the part of
supervising teachers. while others
showed opportunity for further I'M
provement.
Seven OF the teachers had visited
100 per cent of the schools in their
districts total of 1864 schools had
been received at the Office of Super
intendent Cary concerning the new
law, both from the state and from 9th
er states. where the work is being
watched. There are many letters from
young teachers. who say that their
work has been made easier and that
they have learned much by the visits
of older teachers.
AT recent meeting of county super
intendents in Madison the new law
was highly praised, and it was pre-
dicted that the supervising teacher
would do more for the rural schools
than any one factor established in re-
cent years"

The Bread Line

The vault of a night sky black and blind,
The sharing wall of winter wind;
The suffering lights that shudder and shine
Down on the slithering wretched line,
Guests of necessity, come to dine.
Trencherman, open your grimy claw.
Here is fare for your famished nav;
A cheering cup and crust of bread;
Bone, is bone, and blood is red;
Charity smiles to see you fed!
Feast meath the night sky, black and blind;
What care you for the snarl o the wind:
A bun to MUNICH and cup to drain,
And over and over and once again
You waken to struggle and try it with pain.
Crawl some where when the feast is done,
Sleep till the next sardonic sun;
Sleep in your rags, poor shivering clod,
Through blind black hours with death
abroad
While life, low grovelling, questions God!

Don't Let Your Brain Shore

Are you making any effort 10 store away
the bits of knowledge which comes your
way each day.
If not, how can yon expect to be any
thing more twenty-five years from now than
you are at present?
Your value to yourself, to your business,
to your employer, is based on what yon
know, on what you have learned by ex-
perience.
Every day, every week, should find you
with more knowledge.
This will necesstate an effort, but if YOU
are interested-and you should be, for it is
your own storehouse you are building-you
will go into it with the zest of PLAYING a
game.
Just how many useful things can you re-
member this week that you did NOT know
last week?
Are you willing to follow beaten paths
all the time, or are you willing to put into
practice few of the things you have learned
this day or year?
Enjoyment of the present is all right, but
1t will be keener if yon charge your men,
DRY with useful things. You can learn
something every day of yor life if you keep
your brain awake-New York Journal.
