PhotoaraphIna a MIRAGE.

1t is possible to photograph mirage
and obtain very good results. AS We
are told by Photographic expert, the
simplest way is to stop down the
lens to- say, U. s. ga (f. a2), and make
a series of exposures ranging from
one-one-hundredth to one-twenty-fifth
of second, depending upon the in
tensity of the light. The ray filter will
give better color values. and can be
used to better advantage, but this will
mean lengthening the time of expos
ure accordingly"

HELPING RURAL SCHOOL
TEACHERS.

Three or four thousand girls
and a few boys are starting this
fall to teach in rural schools
about the hardest work there is
for a beginner.
Everywhere else there is
someone to coach the beginner
the head clerk or proprietor
in a store, the manager in an
Office, the foreman in factory,
the chief in a telephone ex-
change only in the rural school
the beginner must paddle her
own canoe from the start.
It is not so in city schools
where the new teacher has a
principal to go to at any time
and the superintendent when
ever necessary. Only in the rur-
al schools, there is nobody to
help along the teacher who was
never in charge in schoolroom
before.
It is a wonder how we'll they
do. Here and there one takes
to it like a duck, once in while
a school goes to pieces for want
of supervision; usually the new
teacher rubs along pretty well
by native intelligence and en-
tLusiasm.
Of course she is not absolute
ly alone in the world. There
are the trustees who may visit
the school once a year, there are
parents who come on special &C.
casions, or when there is some
thing which does not
always help matters. And there
is the county superintendent,
who gets around something less
than twice a year. He helps the
teacher all he can, but his visit
next February or perhaps not
until May is not the same thing
as steady coaching in a new po-
sition.
In Koochiching county, a way
has been found to give the teach
er in the county school the same
kind of help that is offered ev-
cry other worker. Three travel
ing principals are employed to
look after ten schools each.
Those schools have a real super
vision and are helped immense
ly by it. Now Koochiching coun-
ty is far from the richest in
the state, but supervision has
proven so valuable that the
county officers do not question
the wisdom of this expenditure.
The rural school committee
believes there is a better way.
It recommends that county SUI
perintendents be authorized to
employ a limited number of SUI
pervisors to be paid for by the
state Then it will be possible
to give this help to every teach
er who needs it.-Fairfax Stan
dard.

quently the case, if the diges-
tive organs of the growing child
are overtaxed with too much
food and win food that is hard
to digest, not only is the fu-
ture physical standard of the
child certain to me lowered, but
such a child is dull in school; it
is far more difficult for him to
get his lessons than though he
were carefully fed. Moreover,
the child's present health de-
ponds much upon his food. Ca
tarrh, adenoids, frequent colds,
and many other children's ills,
as we'll as too much or too little
weight, are largely matters of
improper food supply. Of course,
hearty, robust children will Of
ten thrive on almost any sort
of food, but it is a fact that the
better the child's brain, the more
carefully he must be fed.
The breakfast
The chi1d's breakfast should
be ample and easily digested. In
place Of the time-honored oat-
meal, or other cooked breakfast
cereals, it is better to use the
dry prepared cereals, with plen-
ty of cream, but preferably with
out sugar; plenty Of hard toast
We'll buttered-a little bacon,
and either a glass of milk or a
cup of cereal coffee, will con-
clude the breakfast. Ordinary
coffee is a rank poison to the
growing child. The milk may be
omitted twice a week and eggs
added. The school child's lunch

is usually his least suitable meal;
it contains too many indiges-
tibles like pickles, pies and cake.
The prevalent custom of allow
ing children to lunch on candy
and knick-knacks sold near the
school, is a greater menace than
infantile paralysis.
Lunch and Dinner
The school lunch should con-
sist of sandwiches made Of we'll
toasted bread, buttered, with
cheese and eggs, and a handful
of raisins or figs. Nothing could
be more easily digested and bet
ter suited to the child's real
needs than a large bowl of
bread and milk; such lunch
means a clear head and good
lessons in the afternoon. The
dinner should consist Of meat
almost daily, but the meats
should not be fried; penty of
vegetables, including a raw
vegetable; and a fruit dessert.
Children should form the hab-
it of eating slowly and chewing
their food well.-Dr. R. R. Dan
