REPORT MATERIALS FOR
SUPPLEMENTARY READER
ARE NOT SATISFACTORY

That the work of preparing a sup
Elementary reader for the public
schools of Hawaii, undertaken about a
year ago by former school teacher,
has been found unsatisfactory, is the
finding of the course of study commit
tee of the department of education as
outlined in report presented to the
school commission meeting today
The principal fanlt with the work,
the committee finds, is that large
part of it is copyrighted material, and
therefore not available for use under
ordinary circumstances. In some in
stances, it is pointed out, the work is
not altogether adapted to the needs of
the grades. The work has been re.
ferred back to the former teacher who
prepared it for corrections and other
necessary alterations
This mornings session of the COM
mission was given over to filling a
number of vacancies in the teaching
staff and attending to several trans
fers. Another session was to be held

given. The screen avoids excessive fatigue, but 1t can be used only in bright light. The size of the image is often insufficient to bring out detail. To obtain greater enlarge ment without diminishing clearness too much, magnifying lenses arc sometimes added.
 "The preceding periscopes do not enable commander to take a rapid survey of the horizon; it. takes five or ten seconds to make complete ,ircle. Again, the observer musc himself move around with the eye piece. If the image is to remain up- right without moving the eyepiece it is necessary to use compensa- tory prism whose movement makes up for that of the eyepiece.
 ''This is the principle of the pano- ramic periscope whose tube is fixed and bears at it's summit glass bulb containing a reflecting prism mount ed on base that may be turned with a handle. There is compen- sating prism that turns at half the speed and keeps the image straight.
 "To observe successively all points of the horizon, it suffices to turn the crank, without it's being neces- sary for either observer or eyepiece to change place.
 Nevertheless, however rapid the operation, it does not enable the ob- server to see the whole horizon at once. This is realized in the peri scope with ring-shaped eyepiece. At the top of the tube is ring-shaped lens which refracts toward the base of the tube rays that reach it from all sides. A panoramic image is thus obtained that includes all surround ing objects, although they appear smaller and more distant than with the naked eye. The observer also sees, in the centre of the panoramic image, a portion of the field on a larger scale"

EGGS FRESH FROM FARM
 NOT ALWAYS FIT TO EAT

There is a popular impression that egs are a food that is absolute ly safe and pure to use; that be- cause it is enclosed in a shell an egg must of necessity be all that it should be always, of course, bar ring the kind more or less near to the chicken stage.
 Yet in experiments made by Dr. Lippincott of the Iowa State Col lege of Agriculture a direct and inn mediate relationship was proved be- tween the raw material fed to the hen and the makeup of the egg. Every poultry man knows that a diet composed partly of onion will cause the onion odor and flavor in the eggs produced by hens so fed, just as well as the dairyman knows how quickly onions eaten by cows will taint their milk.
 Professor Lippincott succeeded in coloring both the whites and the yolks of the eggs by dyes fed in capsule form. On given Sunday night at six o'clock the capsules were fed and the yolk of an egg laid at 10 a. m. on the following Tuesday had a distinct band of color around it, thus demonstrating how quickly the food eaten is con- verted into egg material.
 Now, if coloring matter be conveyed to the egg so quickly it seems quite clear that other sub- stances will be conveyed with equal speed. The quality of the egg may be considered therefore to be de- terrnined by what the hen eats If her food is good, clean, sound and healthful grasses, meats, etc. the resulting eggs will be fit for human consumption.
 Now, what are the facts To get at them consider whereof eggs are reduced on the general purpose farms all over the country, where

HOW THE SEA LOOKS
 THROUGH A PERISCOPE

The periseope, the "eye" of the submarine, is described as simple instrument whose construction has proved complicated problem for opticians. "In it's simplest form," an optician says, it is a vertical steel tube about 20 feet long, with reflecting prism at the top and the lenses of a telescope at the bot tom. It is, in fact, a simpl, tele. scope whose line of sight .u.n5 a co1ner from horizontal to veerlcaI as it passes through the prism. This instrument takes in 45 degrees of the horizon, or one-eighth the total field, at one view By turning the tube on its axis, the rest comes into sight successively.
 This periscope gives very clear images, but as it can be used with only one eye at time it does not allow of distinguishing the different planes of vision very well, and tires the observers eye rather quickly Binocular periscopes have been at tempted, but luminosity is lost by gaining the advantage of stereo- scopic vision.
 "The so-called combination peri scope allows of vision with botf eyes, though it is not stereoscopic A real image is thrown on a ground glass screen, much like that of { photograph camera; it may be look ed at with the two eyes, but nt impression of depth and space i

 In the main, hens forage for themselves. They roam over the farm, living on grasses, bugs, worms, and waste grains, etc, in season. Such food is entirely natural and capable of being converted into per- fectly good eggs.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF CHAK-
CHIUMA CHAPTER D. A. R.

The women of Greenwood have
long felt that we should have a D.
A. R. Chapter, but it was not until
the fall of 1911 that steps were taken
to organize. Mrs. C. M. Williamson.
our then state regent authorized
Mrs. Sallie Humphreys Gwin to form
the chapter. Just here l feel that
too much can not be said in praise
OF Mrs. OWNS untiring energy and
patriotic zeal in getting us and our
papers together, and in working
order by having them approved in
Washington by the N. o. D. A. R.
Our first meeting took place with
Mrs. Green at Mrs. Whitehead's.
We had with us Mrs. Williamson, who
lectured and instructed us on our
duties as a patriotic and historical
society. DR.. David Humphreys adj
vised our naming the chapter for a
tribe of Indians, who were always
friendly to the whites. They lived
on the banks of the Yazoo river.
They were exterminated by two
other tribes after a fierce and pro-
longed battle.
We started with twenty members
and have eve held a meeting with
out either taking in a new member
or giving out blanks to be filled out
and sent to Washington for approval,
till now we have nearly so. Some
years ago a stranger came among us
to live. He at once saw that the
stuff we were drinking and calling
it water, would kill us just as surely
as the tomahawk had our poor
friendly Indians-the Chakchiumas.
So he began the quest for pure
artesian water. His first well over-
flowed many feet high and a picture
of it was beautiful. What a blessing
pure water has been to our town.
Now all over the Delta there are
wells-all from one mans example |
of energy and perseverance. Our
D. A. R. Chapter in placing this
boulder with its drinking fountain for
the schools of our town, in honor of
Mr.. c. E. Wright, is but doing what
we can to show our appreciation to
the man who has conferred such q
blessing on the community.
