gested have been put into prac-
tice. Therefore, if we would
make supervision good and eff
fective, assistants must be given
the county superintendent, and
this the next legislature should
be asked to do. With an assist
ant, our county superintendent
can make their supervision much
more than doubly effective. All
kinds of Office work has tremen-
dously increased the labors of
these officials, they are expected
to enforce the Compulsory At
tendance Law, make reports regu-
larly on their visits and often
special reports. To be enabled
to meet these necessary demands,
and still have time, after all re-
porting, recording, examining,
and so on, to visit each school in
the county at least twice each
year, and if possible oftener, to
do this, there must be an assist
ant to the county superintendent
in each couny. For the larger
county, with the larger number
of teachers, and with the great
err distances to travel over "slow'
roads, an additional helper, that
is two assistants, would be advis-
able, if we are to make the
schools really complete and thor
ough in their instruction. There

Applying the State Dividends to
Encourage Attendance
The State School Dividends is
at present given to a School Dis
trict if it employs teacher, has
school room approved by the
County School Commission, keeps
the school open 140 days in the
term, and raises at least 500 by
taxation. In many cases, the
states dividend is larger than
the amount of money raised by
the district. This shows the
states anxiety to give the child
a good chance to get an educa-
ton. In many districts, however,
! the children get to school but
very little more than half the
time. Thus the children do not
get what the state and commun-
ity are paying for. Therefore,
part of the states dividends
should be based on the percent
age of attendance Of the child
rem. Suppose the states divi-
dends were apportioned, one half
for the purposes named above,
and the other half on percentage
of attendance made by the child
rem of the school, so that the
school should receive of this half
I of the appropriation such pro-
portion or percentage as was its
percentage of attendance the pre-
vios term. Then if school made
but so per cent of attendance, it
would receive but so per cent of
that half of the dividend. Thus,
every day child is out of school
the district is losing what the
state pays toward his education
This would make every resident
and taxpayer of a district take
an interest in the children's at.
tendance, and every time a child
was seen out of school it WOULD
be realized that every tax-paye,
is suffering a money loss for next
year. A number of states appor
ton their state appropriation
partly on this basis. If men arr

One supervisory school official
to direct and supervise all the
schools and teachers of country
is lust about as effective for good
management, as it would be to
have a farm managed by super
visor who visits it once a year.
No farm owner would call visit
year by the manager satisfac-
tory. Yet that is exactly what
most of our public schools get in
the way of oversight, planning
and direction from the country
superintendent. A single visit
in the term may enable the SUI
perintendent to see weak points
in a teachers work and ne may
even suggest ways to better the
work. Unless he can visit the
same school at least once more
each year, he cannot tell whether
or not his suggestion and direc-
tions have been carried out
Therefore, when he can visit a
school but once, and when the
teacher knows that after the
first visit she will not see him
again that year, the conditions
are present for the continuance
of practices and proceedings be-
gun before the superintendent
came, especially if his recon,
mendations entail work, study
and more preparation. "Why
bother about it? He is not com.
ing again" This is an attitude
easily assumed under the cir,
cumstances. To prevent such
an attitude, it will be necessary
to make sure that the superinten-
dent can come again, can "fol.
low up" his first visit by later

followed, to see if the plans sug,

IS THIS THE MODERN CHILD?
"A Generation of Bulbous-Headed Precocities" Is Predicament of
 Writer.

The child has changed; it is no long, CT the creature that, pointing to an animal in the field, said, What's that?" and the reply being, "A cow" asked "Why?" The child is perilous- ly close to asking whether the ani- nal is carnivorous or herbivorous.
 That makes coercion very difficult. But I do not think that the modern parent desires to coerce as much as did his forbear. Rather he desires to develop the child's personality, and in it's early days this leads to horrid results, to children being taught to see the beautiful" or "being made to realize the duties of a citizen"

OLD JAPANESE STONE IMAGE
Figure of Yakushi Buddha Maoe ~ INV Years Ago Found in Jap
 Village.

An ancient and oWnerlesS eullice' standing in village called Shiklsh- ina in Shiki district, Nara Prelec- ture, has been found to contain num- Der of rare artistic treasures ln the shape of antique Buddhist images. "The discovery of these rarities, one of which is believed to be the oldest of the kind in Japan" says the Her aid of Asia, lis due to Mir. Seklno' doctor of engineering; MT. Matano, chief of the imperial museum at To- kyo, and MT. Niino of the Nara Art gallery. They are of opinion that the tottering edifice is none other than a temple called the Seki-iji which was built in the Nara period (710-794 A. D.. The stone image, the central figure, as it were, of the editice, rep resents the Yakushi Buddha, and is four feet in height, more than three feet in breadth and three-ffths to seven-tenths of a foot in thickness.
 It was probably made some 2,100 years ago, in the era of Hakuho, and is the oldest stone image in Japan, says a report from Nichi-Nichi cor respondent The head man of the dis trict is now trying to have it included among the national treasures. There are also in the edifice wooden image of the Jizo Buddha and several other figures of antique appearance.

Let the Public Heal Itself.

As to the complaining public which has always complained, which is still complaining, it will always, no matter what happens assume the attitude of the physician prescribing for the dis eases of others. But it will never reach beyond the field of the diagnos- tician. Whenever it had undertaken to cure, the remedy has been worse than the disease itself, and it will al- ways be full and fair answer to say, Physician, heal thyself." For the public is not only diseased, but it is eternally infeeting they profession concerning which it's loudest con- plaiDts are heard.

ITALIANS JUN IN
 WAR AT SALON|M
JOIN BALKAN FIGHT - ALTER NATE GAINS AND LOSSES ON
 THE ENTIRE FRONT.
SAYS OFFENSIVE IS GENERAL
Allies Are Believed to Have a Force of Some 7oo,O British, French and Servian Troops on the Sa-
 loniki Front.

Paris.-Italian troops began to dis embark at Saloniki, says Havas dis patch from that point.
 On leaving their ships, the dispatch says, the Italians passed through Sa- loniki to camp, preceded by military bands of the allies and cheered by the populace.
 Active participation by Italian troops in the Saloniki campaign would mean the existence of a state of war between Germany and Italy.
 Germany is directing the opera tIons against the allies on this front and, as the official German reports show, has forces there. Some Aus trian troops also probably are em- ployed, and possibly Turks, but the major portion of the army is made up of Bulgarians. Recent reports have indicated withdrawal of Aus trian troops at the Balkans for use on the Russian and Italian fronts.
 As the allies are believed to have a force of some 7OO 900 Brisish, French and Servian troops on the Saloniki front, the sending of re-enforcements at this time, just after the opening of hostiIities on a large scale, would in dicate that the allies have embarked on a campaign of extensive propo;- tions.
 Italy, which has a considerable sur plus of troops, has been urged to take a more active part in the Balkan ope- rations, but was believed to have re- trained partly on account of the fact that she was not at war with Ger many There have been several re- cent indications, however, that a de claration of hostilities was forthcom- ing. A commercial treaty between these nations was abrogated, a Ger man court ruled that Germany is act ually, though not formally, at war with Italy, and last week it was reported that the defense of Priest would be taken over by Germany. Italian par in the Balkan operations hitherto has been limited to occupa- ton of the Albanian port of Avlona, which was effected before Italy de- clared war on Austria.

WHY WOMEN
 WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
 cine Go.

Women who are well often ask "Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?" Are they truthful ?" "Why do women write such letters?"
 In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it.
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink ham Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering.
 It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis- placements, inflammation, alteration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.
