Teachers Cottages Urged.

Teachers cottages. erected by tho COM
munity in or near the school house and
used not only as the teachers residence
but also as the community center. are
advocated in a bulletin prepared by r.
S kellogg and distributed by the De
partment OF the Interior through its
Bureau OF Education 20 county sUperin-
tendents and other officers in charge OF
rural schools. The bulletin describes the
movement for teachers residences in
rural districts and gives plans for cot
taCes Of various sizes and types
Lack OF suitable boarding accommoda-
tions is one Of the most serious Difficult
ties in the way OF securing suitable teach
ers for country schools, the bulletin de-
clarCs. There are more than 10000
rural school districts In the United States
and over 100000 children Of school age
who live in the country or in towns OF
less than $500 population. yet il is i'm
possible because OF the living conditions
to get teachers of the highest type TO re-
main in the country.
Mr.. kelloC says: Many farm houses
have no accommodations whatever for a
teacher. and often kitchen living room
and dining room are combined in one
with no heat in any other room in the
house. The farmer and his family have
TO spend most Of their time working m
doors or out, eating and sleeping. Their
occupations and hours OF labor in no way
correspond 70 those of the teacher. which
increases the difficulty OF fitting the
teachers necessary habits to those Of the
farmer with any satisfaction 10 either.

out every minute detail Of its work in
case the United States should be involved

Brig Gen. Henry p. Mccain, the Ad-

is one Of the few bureaus of the army
or of the entire government for that

A writer IN the New York Sun advises as a
for insomnia Let the sufferer try to form
a mental concept OF nothing as a start, with
the purpose of fixing his mind on it. He will
be surprised at first if he has never tried it
before, to find that he cannot do it. Positively
one cannot think of nothing as actually existing.
Perhaps that is because it doesn't, if bull is
allowable But let him not be discouraged Let
him continue to try, and presently he will be
fascinated by the effort that he will continue
till he becomes fatigued and forgcts that and
everything else in a peaceful slumber" 1t sounds
very much like all the other cures for insomnia,
which, when analysed, reveal the one principle
Of going to sleep for it.

Hughes Characteristics.

Justice Hughes not only knows how to hold
his tongue when there IS no necessity for talk
ing, but he also knows how to hold his temper
never impulsive, never indiscreet, but always
clcar-headed, and dependable His is not
the sort of temperament that evokes wild shouts
and noisy demonstrations, but rather the kind
that inspires perfect confidence and trust That
is why, the mass of the Republican party re-
CARDS him as the ideal choice for the Presi-
dental nominaton.-Springheld Union.
The Washington herald., 1916-06-04

The city of New York shelters bunch OF
freaks who hold occasional meetings to de-
nounce American institutions and curse the
American flag, or spit upon it, or burn it. In
a measure the newspapers are responsible for
them because they encouraged them by publish
ing their names, their pictures and their diotic
drlvel; otherwise they would have died of a
yearning for notoriety. Thus they have been
able to pose as leaders of advanced thought. as
piring to the role of martyrs when the law laws
hands on them. 1t is necessary, of course to sup-
press the crsck-brained disturbers. but it is not
work for the police. When next they burn a
flag or allow their burning oratory to get beyond
control the FIRE department should be called
upon to do its duty.
