COMPRESSED SCHOOL HOURS
Two Milwaukee women teachers
have been doing some very advanced
thinking and have conducted an ex-
pertinent the results of which offer
great contribution toward the
health of school children. For years
they've been utilizing their opportunl-
ties to observe children and long ago
came to the conclusion that keeping
children in school for long hours was
defeating it's own object They saw
the pep that the children brought
to school in the fall run out toward
spring; they saw dancing, sparkling
eyes, so characteristic of the begin
ming of the school term, take on an
equally characteristic and disquietlng
end-of-term look in the spring.
This didn't seem right to these
women. Being themselves vigorous
minded they refused to consider it
right simply because it existed. They,
therefore, began quiet persistent
fight for the life of their idea that
a few fOIrs of concentration in
school is worth more than many
hours of mere time serving.
Conditions favored their radical
proposal to conduct an experimental
class in halliday sessions because the
school was overcrowded in the prl-
mary grades. Their offer to meet
the increasing attendance demands
without provision of otherwise neces-
sary new buildings was adroit and
we'll timed. Here was bargain,
two classes in one room, one teach
er and plenty of room for pupils in
return for suspending for a few
months a fixed idea of requiring long
hours school attendance.
I've had a chance to observe that
experiment closely and l am no less
enthusiastic than the teachers about
the result. I believe that they are
oboo1uCOiy ilSAl WHCH IuOy uSCAoAS
that not alone can as much as, but
more, learning be accomplished in a
halliday session than in a whole day.
What is lost in drill-time is made up
many times over by the condition of
the childrens bodies which are kept
vigorous by outdoor play An equally
important factor is that their young
minds don't go stale by being pushed
up to and little beyond the
resilient point each day Children's
minds and bodies are not unlike rub
Der bands which work best and last
longest when neither stretched too
far nor left idle for long in the stor-
age box.
The suggestion this experiment Of
fers to school authorities and to par
ents ought not be rejected or accept
ed because it is new But if the
proper upbringing Of children is
worth any consideration whatever,
the testimony of the two studious, in
tellectual, and entirely sane women
deserves to be carefully weighed,
sifted and evaluated by those who
prefer to be right rather than ortho-
dox.

More distress will soon appear.
Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves,

following committee was appointed
Geo. c. Marstellar. John Cockrell, J hn

These gentlemen were elected and
appointed permanently to their respec-
tive office, and they will leave no stone
unturned to secure the convention.
Every citizen in Charles Town should
join hands in this movement as it will
mean great deal to our town and
county.
AT rough estimate we will need
$500 to defray the expenses and secure
the convention. however this is very
small amount compared with what we
get in return.
The convention will bring $500 men
to Charles Town, and this means some
thing. At low estimate each man
will spend $40 90 during the three days
of the convention. Now isn't it worth
the while to put up hard fight for it.
We want every man, woman and
child to cooperate with US in this move.

CHAPTER II.
The Acting Agent.

Within few minutes the party had
neared the top Of the ridge. The
thoroughbred mare came trotting UP
from the hollow on the other side. AT
sight of them her rider brought her to
stand. The older man spurred his
pony up the round Of the summit. "By
Gar, that wasn't no bad play you made,
partner" he called. '"Taking the butte
gave you the drop on EN-"
The man whose strategy had routed
the Indians did not reply. The girl
looked up at him with confident ex-
pectancy in her sparkling eyes. He did
not move. The expression of his harsh
features was severe, but there was a
flush under tie tropical tan on his
cheeks.
She hesitated, her rich color deepen
ing. Then her pique gave way to a
more generous impulse. She drew the
gauntlet glove from her right hand.
Under his cold gaze her eyes again
hardened with offended pride, and
again they softened and glowed with
frank appreciation.
"Can you forgive me?" she asked.
He bowed formally. eff you think
there is anything to be forgiven"
"You know there is. / wish to apollo
gize."
She stood up In the blackboard and
held out her hand to him. 1t was very
white and shapely. He bowed over it
with grave courtesy, as he took it in
his nervous clasp.
"You have no need to apologize,
Miss -"
"Dupcnt-Marie Dupont"
"None whatever, Miss Dupont" he
went on. 81 should have explained my
Intentions"
"Why didn't you make for the butte
first thing, instead of crossing the cou-
lee?" broke in the blond young man.
II did not wish to shoot until I'M
derstood the cause of the trouble. There
was also the chance that they would
cease firing when rode towards them"
THAT was nervy Of you" remarked
