PLEA FOR BETTER SCHOOLS
improved Methods Of Education ane

g. e. To- .-
The federal school extension agent,
Mr.. McBrien, wrote recently in a spe-
cial statement: I'm educational oplor-
tunity the city boy and girl have priv.
ileges far superior to those Of the farm
boy and farm gin. In fnuds, in length
Of term, in equipment, insbuildings, in
administration and supervision, in
courses Of study; IN efiicieney Of, the
teaching force, and An s&aFtss pntfi,
The superiority Of the city schools issso
far above that Of the rural schools as
to make the situutieasia many sections
Of the county deplcrable. It has been
so desperate-in many Instances during
the past % years, when contrasted With
the splendid opportunities Of the city
school, that 1t Is given more times than
any other reason by fathers and moth
ers for moving from the farm to the
city" I'D fla.
Other critics are laying stress on
'lral sanitation and hygiene. Senator
Ransdell, chairman of the senate con
mittee on health and quarantine, has
been urging a special inquiry into the
methods of preventing disease in rural
America, particularly such diseases as
malaria and typhoid, which are wholly
~preventable. The senator's measure
proposes systematic cooperation be-
tween local and national authorities,
and is based on the idea that "the prob
lem Of rural sanitation is not a local
problem, but one which concerns the
health and physical integrity Of our
entire nation" The two diseases
named, 1t Is estimated, cost the coun,
try $900,0O0,O00 a year.

To Initiate Thatch Root.

Of the various attractive roof e.
fects which can be achieved with
either the asphalt OF the wood single,
none are more popular at present than
that Of the imitation Of the old English
thatch.
This effect is obtained by what Is
known as the woven Single method,
whereby the shingles are laid In
courses varying in width from one inch
to seven inches.
While undoubtedly a roof Of this
sort lends charfd and distinction to
houses Of a. certain style Of archi-
lecture, from the nature Of the work
manship required in its construction,
the roof cannot be. considered d cheap
one. va:
To those who do not have to con-
slider expense closely, the soft finish OF
the imitation thatch must make 4
strong appeal. ~ ~ ~

IF l HAD GIFTS.

If We had the gifts to sell,
What would thy courage buy?
Weird magic's magic spell.
II life had gifts to sell,
Great love and constsncy?
Or Fortanutus' cap
Would thy desire select,
Or choose to walk mayhap,
In Fortunatus' cap,
With proud Fame's proud select?
Youths fond elastic heart,
That loveth oft and well,
Youths changeful, trustful heart
II life had gifts to sell,
What would you buy?
Pain, estacy and strife,
Summed up, the story tell;
These are the gifts Of life,
Pain, estacy and strife,
Life has no gifts to sell.

THE STAR.

Some years ago David Barker, a dis
tinguished poet in the State of Maine,
after the birth of his first child, wrote
and published the following pretty
poem:
One night as old st. Peter slept
He left the door Of heaven ajar,
When through a little angel crept
And came down like a falling star.
One summer, as the blessed beams
Of morn approached, my blushing
bride
Awakened from some pleasant dreams
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of
pain, .
He'll wing his way to that bright
shore
And find the way to heaven again.
John G. SAKE, deeming that injus-
tice had been done St. Peter wrote the
following as st. Peters reply:
Full eighteen hundred years or more
I've kept my gate securely fast;
There has no "littla angel" strayed
Nor ~recreant thro' the portals
passed.
I did not sleep as you supposed,
Nor left the door of heaven ajar,
Nor has a "little angel" left,
And gone down with a falling star.
Go ask that blushing bride and see,
If she don't frankly own and say
That when she found that angel babe
She found it in the good old way.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That should your number still en-
large,
You will not do as done before,
And lay it to old Peters charge.
