EDUCATIONAL NOTES
Items OF Interest TO Friends and
Patrons of our Schools.
Standards of Scholarship

Two views are held among school
teachers and superintendent, as to
what shall be done with pupils who
fail to keep up. The old-time teacher
was rather inclined to pass them
along. The student, it was argued,
would lose interest if compelled to
drop back into another class. He had
probably got about all that can be had
out of that grade or stage of his work.
He will get more to let him grind over
the same work again.
A few years ago there was a wide
spread impression that good athlete
could slip along through almost any
college. OF recent years, both in col
leges and high schools, there seems to
be stricter feeling about scholarship
requirements for athletes.
That many of the colleges are now
imposing severe tests was suggested
by the news reports of the past week,
to the effort that at Cornell Uuniver-
sity, la men have dropped as the re-
suit of the mid-year exams" Also
169 others were placed on probation
and denied many privileges.
Probably some students do lose
heart on being dropped back. Also
the better portion of the class, who
are allowed to go on, make a distinct
gain by parting company With the
sluggards. An indolent pupil is mere
baggage. Explaining things to him,
which he should have worked out for
himself robs the rest of the class of
valuable time. They all tend to drop
to this low standard. Bright pupils
compare their work with his, and are
satisfied with a mediocre performance.
The experience of slipping along
easily by the tests of school or college
must demoralize a student. 1t will
not be thus when he gets into business.
There competition will have its effest,
his efficiency will quickly be eliminat-
ed, and he will drop into the back ed
dies of life. He needs in the seclu-
sion of school, taste Of the same
sharp jolts that he will get when he
ventures out into the cold world.

1890. That year he bought the medi-
cal practice and home of DR.. C. M.
Martin. The home, Clio South Frank
lin street he resided in until death.
His life was busy one he being a
member of Grand Rapids Consistory
and Shrine, and also belonging to the
Blue Lodge, Royal Arcn Masons Of
Grcenville, the member of Leroy
Lodge, X. of p. and also Of the WASH
ington club. In the commercial world
he was always active, being vice
president of the Commercial State
Savings Bank, director of Moore Plow
Implement Co., and for several years
on the board of education. He took
a great interest in the schools and see
ing the need of an athletic field, gave
them one, just south of the Central
school building in 1915.

TO HANDLE 1T RIGHT

Election being over and the paving
proposition so far as the people at
large were concerned in its adoption
or regulation settled, the matter is
now up to the city council to handle
it in wise and judicious manner.
The work of completing the job
which covers Bridge street from the
Ellis school on the north, to the Cath
Ollie church on the south, will require
the expenditure of a large sum of
money and not penny of it should
be wasted in poor material or poor
construction.
Undoubtedly the city fathers and
the committees into whose hands the
oversight of the work will be given,
will give it their best thought and
Judgment and carefully safeguard
the Improvement in the interests of
every taxpayer.

FARM WAGES IN JAPAN

From the Fifteenth Financial and
Economic Annual of Japan, for 1915,
issued by the Japanese Department
of Finance, shows that male laborers
on the farm are paid $51.86 a year,
and female labor is paid $31.51 a
year.
The equivalent of the yen in Ameri-
can money is 40 cents; but, as the yen
is silver coin, it will be seen that
the yearly wage of male farm work.
err in Japan is less than $25.92 and the
yearly wage of female farm worker
less than $15.75. AS a matter of fact,
the male farm worker gets about 81
a month and the female farm worker
about SIPS month. What would
American men and women who work
on American farms think of such
wages as these?

1t doesn't take such a vivid ina
gination to grasp the generalities of
the situation which confronts a
young girl suddenly set down in a
New England village, when the girl
speaks no English and the villagers
speak none but their own language.
But, to grasp the details and to real
ize the scores of both pathetic and
humorous adventures that beset the
girl before she finds some one who
can understand her and who can make
her understand, one must see the

Gas in Trees

Experienced woodmen frequently
tell of finding in the hollows of trees
a combustible gas. evidently a product
of the decomposition of the wood. In
the Ozark mountains has been found
scores of trees containing gas. The
gas, appears to exist in various spec
les of trees, but to be more abundant
in the oak. 1t is stored in the hol-
lows of the trees under considerable
pressure, and when the saw or AK
opens vent for it it issues forth with
great force.
While assisting in telling a large
oak on one occasion, a woodman says:
the saw cut into a hollow and gas
began to blow out with extraordinary
force. He obtained a match but by
the time he got it lighted the gas had
permeated the air for quite a distance
about the tree and there was an in
staneous flash which left him a badly
burned face and his hair singed. The
gas continued to burn for 10 or Is
minutes he said, and sometimes the
flame would rise to height of eight
or 10 feet.
Another woodman reports similar
experiences. 1t is by no means I'M
common, he says, to find gas in hollow
trees, especially white oaks, in cut
ting timber in Ohio Co., KY. The gas
is stored up under pressure and when
the AK or saw first penetrates the hol-
low it rushes out with a kissing
sound; also he discovered at the ex

a small expeditionary force. If state
of actual war existed between the
United States and Mexico it is easy to
figure out where this country would
be with its expensive regular army.
United States soldiers are the best in
the world, but a mere handful of
them is not enough for nation of
this size, even if the cost Of keeping
them fit is beyond that paid by any
other nation.

he wrote to the coach, advising him to

it emphasizes these facts, points out
the dangers of the use of alcohol and
warns drinkers to give up the habit

Curtain to Stop Leaks in Ships

In the days when sailing vessels
were common favorite method for
stopping leaks consisted in dropping
tarpaulin over the bow and then, by
means Of lines attached to it, working
it into position over the hole in the
hull. A recent invention that APP
parently is an outgrowth of this idea
consists of curtains which are sus-
pended on each side of vessel, ex-
tending along her full length. Lines
running up to drums on the deck are
attached to each curtain. If leak
develops all that is necessary is to
release the lines of the curtain on the
leaky side and allow it to unroll. If
the weight of the stiffening beam
should not be sufficient to hold the
curtain in place lines could be run
from it under the vessel and made
fast to the opposite side.

An Extremely Light Wood
Balso wood which is said to be the
lightest known wood is only a little
more than half as heavy as cork and
about Ito as heavy as black IRON
wood. Until recently Missouri cork
wood has been considered the lightest
wood in existence but it weighs Is
pounds per cubic foot, while balso
weighs only seven. Balso is now be-
ing extensively used as packing ma
terial in the walls of refrigerators,
for, owing to its extremely porous
nature, it acts as an excellent insula-
tor against heat and cold.
The Dyestuf Shortage
Since the beginning of the war in
Europe many people in this country
have wondered why war that is go
ing on thousands of miles away should
so affect conditions here that many
needed commodities have increased
greatly in price, or are unobtainable
at any price. Drugs prices have gone
out of sight, dyes are practically
unobtainable and many Injuries that
we formerly enjoyed must be fore
gone. Now that the whole nation is
brought face to face with real condi-
tons everyone can appreciate to what
great extent we have been and still
are dependent on foreign countries to
supply our needs.
Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton, as the trite adage truthfully
says, and since our supplies have been
cut off in one direction we are forced
to turn to another. We are beginning
to look into our own resources and we
find that so far as raw materials are
concerned we have them in abund-
ance. For example, potash, neces-
sary fertilizing material, is found in
the common rock, felspar; we have
been going to South America for nj
trates, despite the fact that nitrogen
can be obtained at home from air by
an electric process.
An old file with the square end

thing else that will provide solid sup
port and with a hammer chip off the
