following to say concerning the Rath

this winter by superintendent J. D..
Davis, the irst twelve weeks term Of
which closed recently:
Several seniors In the College OF
Agriculture have been assisting, dur
ing the winter, 10 conducting short
course in agriculture 10 the High
school at Rathdrum.

possible to continue the regular high.

more practical phases of the usual
,chool subjects is given by members
of the regular high-school faculty
and courses in elementary agriculture
applicable 10 the region are given by
students from the College of Agricul
ture who go to Rathdrum for one OF
more weeks at time.
These students are taking work 10
the School of Education at the Uni
versity and are planning to teach in
the high school after graduation.
The work which they are to present
ia the short course each week is care
fully planned with their Instructors
and methods of presentation are
agreed upon. Thus an opportunity
is given the student for testing his
theories and securing valuable prac-
tice ia the art Of teaching.
The plan is carried out under
cooperative arrangement between the
III school at RathdIum and the
Universit, School Of Education. The
students give their time and the en-
terprising school board at Rathdrum
bears the necessary expense.

THIS WORLD CROWDED.

There are on this globe about ], $780,
100000 inhabitants. Most of us, who
lack the sense of proportion, at the
mention of this big number are apt to
speak of the "overpopulation" of the
world. Yet II we spare few moments
thought we shall better know what
this represents. There is in my study
room geographic globe about fifteen
inches in diameter. On that sphere
there Is marked little spot about the
size of the point of pencil-at any
rate so small as to make it impossible
to write the initials of Its name-Lake
Champlain-upon it.
Yet whenever Lake Champlain
freezes over there is good standing
room for every one Of all the inhabi-
tants of the earth, and then this lake
would be considerably less crowded
than some of the. busy streets of New
York. Indeed, strange as it may sound.
every one, young and old, would find
about one square yard to stand upon.
Nay, more, If the very young and the
very old would please to stand aside on

there would be less crowding than is
seen on busy winter day on that skat.

race-the few people of this earth do
not begin to realize their immense OBJ
portunities and their unused resources
meanwhile they have the insane feel
ing that the world is "oyerpopulated.'
All our science, our religion, our art
have not given us common sense
enough to learn how to use them To
live comfortably and happily-we, this
mere handful of inhabitants on this
immense world of ours. Nor does 1t
look as IL we were going to get to our
senses before many generations to
come as long as we keep on muddling
and laundering, as long as greed and

PstroIlina EIGHT Miles of Fence.

To prevent wolves, coyotes and 9TH
er wild animals from entering pas
ture where experiments in sheep rails
ing were being conducted hunters en-
ployed by the forest service were re.
quired to patrol eight miles of fence
twice a day in the Wallowa National
forest, in Oregon.
Two thousand five hundred and six
ty acres of choice land were nclosed
to conduct experiments with a view
to ascertaining whether it was more
advantageous to care for sheep in pas
lures than to herd them on the open
range. A coyote proof fence eight
miles in length inclosed the pasture.

The geology of mountain regions is

been more broken and tilted about,
but the geology of certain parts of

that of mountainous region, because
certain widely distributed formations

of plants and animals that lived at the

A peculiar sandstone, which geolo-

Among the plants found were pines,
ferns, leaves of date palms, tropical

that at the time the sandstone was

Pushed Ahead
By Advertising

A British journal recently comment
ed on the fact that whereas the tea
grown in China was formerly the most
popular, it now occupies second place
while Ceylon tea has become the favor
lite with all classes of people. The
question, What has brought about this
change of taste? is not, however, diff
ficult one to answer. AS a prominent
firm of dealers pointed out, Ceylon tea
has been literally advertised for some
years, while the Chinese product has
not been advertised at all. The change
noted has been wrought during these
years, and it is therefore reasonable
to conclude that advertising is the prin'
cipal cause thereof. AS result of adj
vertising the consumption of Ceylon
tea has increased SO rapidly that in
many cases China tea has practically
been forced out of the market Yet the
actual difference in the quality of the
two is not material-Profitable Adver.
