The Successful Hostess.

l once knew a hostess who gave
glorious parties with wonderful mu-
sic. refreshments and flowers that
transformed her home into Titania's
court. But when this girl entertained
there was always long row of bash
full boys who sat alone on window
seat, afraid to speak to any girl. This
went on for two evenings, but at the
third party halt was called and the
girl tried a new plan. She would go
up to some blushing, painfully embar-
raised boy, and, showing him a book
or picture, would get him away from
his mates. Then, after pleasant chat
she would leave him, treasured and
confident and quite equal to convers-
ing with the young girl whom the
thoughtful hostess would leave in her
own place. So this girls parties were
always successful, for every one had
marvellous time, even the girl her
self; which sounds almost impossible
unless you have tried her way. Her
good time came to her because she
knew that her guests were enjoying
themselves Christian Herald.

Also a Great Master.

The persons in the gallery who
were most impressed with the exhi-
bition of the pictures lent by ]. Pier
pont Morgan were two small girls. one
eight and the other ten years of age,
Uncertainty they spelled out the
names of the paintings. which con-
veyed very little; and they were truly
moved. of course, by the dashing Du-
chess of Devonshire and the small
Princess by Velazquez, and the won
derfully engaging young lady by the
unknown Spanish painter Lastly they
came to the portrait of Mr.. Morgan
himself, and from this they appealed
directly to the attendant on guard.
Please, sir" they asked, did Mr.
Morgan paint all these pictures?"
The guard was true gentleman.
Not all. he answered.

Vision Of School Children.

An examination of forty children
from two public schools in New York
city shows some striking results. The
forty pupils examined were the worst
that could be found in the two schools,
eighteen of them being so stupid that
they were in ungraded classes, eleven
were so stupid that they required
three terms to do the work of one
term, and eleven were delinquent All
of the forty children had defective
vision. They were fitted with proper
glasses, and after six months it was
found that thirty-two of them had
made astonishing progress. These
thirty-two were under as many differ
ent teachers. A report of this work
has been made to the board of educa-
tion, recommending that the entire
care of the school children, mental,
moral and physical, be vested in one
department with a single head and
that that should be the board of edu-
cation; that a sufficient number of
doctors be trained to deal with all de-
fects of school children who are at
present in the category of ungraded,
backward or disciplinary cases; that
any child whose work is unsatisfactory
for one term should be examined and
all defects of structure and habit cor
rected as far as possible-Journal of
the American Medical Association.

Another year OF school begins next
MONDAY September II. when children
Ia and near in the city win return
10 rc me their studies in the Gram
mar arimary and Kindergarten de-
parlmants. and new ones viii enter in
all o. these, as well as in the High
School
Let IS hope that all. especially the
higher grades may be inspired by the
stirring times to work hard.
The world Is moving rapidly and
feyerlshly. and there Is a fierce and
growing demand for edacated young
men end women. The laggards Of to-
day must become the weaklings Of to-
morrow. The boy or girl who ne
glecta work now viii be obliged 10
pay f0r his neglect all the days OF
his lie.
The war has set new standards and
has created new demands for efficient
and trained young people. The edu-
cation that was sufficient to keep one
al the front OF his profession or bust
ness three years ago will be insult
Hcent for the struggles OF a few years
hence. In other words, the children
OF today must grow into more efficient
men and women than are the men and
women OF today. These things have
always been true with respect TO edu
cation, but never so impressively true
az now.
Ii must be added that while more
viii be expected of the oncoming gen
GRAFTON and that this generation must
work harder than past generations to
measure up to its requirements, 1t is
the duty of the community to give the
present school youth better oppor
tunities than any generation ever had.

lamentable fact must not be allowed
to shut our eyes TO the truth that the
cloud of war has a silver lining.
Tens OF thousands of the troops will
return sounder physically because Of
their outdoor life and simple food.
Better still, their hardships will
have destroyed in them all namby-
pambyism and developed in its place
some rugged qualities. In war they
will learn TO endure hardships and
also acquire the moral qualities of
obedience. comradeship, cooperation,
aggressiyeness and self-sacrifice. IT
cannot be denied that evil influences
abound in the camp and even on the
battleship. Nevertheless, there ought
TO be consolation for the parents and
friends of the lads composing the
army and the navy that they have a
good chance. If they will accept it,
OF taking their places again in civil
life better fitted physically and moral
" to achieve business and profess
