SPECIAL PICTURE COMING TO THE
REPUBLIC SATURDAY

Metros great special production de
luxe, Revelation" is a revelation in
fact as well as in name. 1t reveals
the art of the great Nazimova in a way
unprecedented Revelation" is a
mighty drama of the screen, based on
a powerful story, that reaches the
heights of sublimity, and descends to
the profoundest depths of the human
heart. In Revelation" the great Rus
sian at last has a vehicle worthy Of
her genius and worthy to head the list
of her wonderful series of Metro fea-
lures.
Revelation" provides Nazimova
with a role that demands the full
sweep of her abilities AS the Pari-
sian grizette, whose soul is laid bare
in this gripping story, Nazimova is
gay and fascinating, capricious and
wilful as a summer storm, cold and
calm one minute, tender and pure with
the serenity of an Arctic sunshine, the
next. She is selfish, mad, passionate
she is noble, and self-sacrifcing. She
is first the madeap grizette of the
Latin Quarter; then she is the
Madonna of the Rosebush and of the
Battlefields. From grizette into saint
she is changed by the sun of revela-
ton. The gay. mad music of the Paris
dance halls merges into the crash and
roar of battle, and after all comes the
still, small voice by which Jolines
grizette soul is saved. Nine. Nazi-
nova plays Joline, the adorable griz-

HSWat the EatiD

Since the introduction of the house
rat in the United States they have
become extremely abundant and widely
distributed throughout the country,
where they destroy annually many
millions of dollars worth of food
products and crops. These losses
occur alike in cities, villages and
farmsteads. Their inroads upon food
products occur in freight departments
of railroads and steamboat lines, stor-
age places of grain and food dealers,
commission houses, wholesale drug
houses, candy shops, bakeries, fleur
mills, cold-storage houses, city and
country dwellings, granaries, fields
and poultry yards. The loss of food
and other products in the United
States from this source amounts to
not less than $2O0,O00,0O0 annually.
which amount does not include indi-
rect losses occasioned by human dis
ease disseminated by rats and the
necessary expenditures in combating
them.

History of the Sword.

The sword came from ancient Egypt
and was used through Palestine, Syria
and Asia Minor, India and throughout
the western world. 1t was in Eggpi
that the three shapes of the sword
blade originated, these being the
straight, the curved and the half
curved. The Roman sword was larger
than that of the Greeks and in the
days of the empire many of the sheaths
were so covered with precious stones
as to be veritable art treasures. Among
the Moslems the highest title given TO
a warrior of renown is ''the sword of
Allah" The Chinese made swords OF
iron as early as 1879 B. G.

/ 1916 fifty-siX remain. Ranking high
among the causes which eliminate in
this community, l place a lack of APP
probation of the value of high
school education, and an indefinite
ness Of the purpose in coming. This
makes it hard for a pupil to elect his
course intelligently He takes the
business course and in his fourth
year decides that he wants to go to
college, or he takes the academic
course and then feels aggrieved be
cause he cannot cope with stenog-
raphic situation This condition can
be helped by having a faculty adviser
for every first-year pupil, and by per
hitting no election before the second
year. But without definite and serious
purpose in the minds of students and
parents. il is hardly remediable
Economic conditions seem to have
some influence for thirty-four of the
eighty-four boys, work after school or
on Saturdays.
To the above causes we may add
some which are peculiar TO this COM
munity. The varied and unequal
preparation of the students admitted
to our school helps to swell the num-
hers. We admit by certificate To the
first year. These certificates are
given by teachers of varying age. ex-
perience and ability, and they are en-
tirely standardized. Pupils come
from the highly organized graded
school. He has been the object of
one teachers undivided attention
for the entire day He comes into the
high school and has no teacher for a
longer time than fifty minutes day
He is placed on his own responsibility
for conduct and scholarship. and the
responsibility often proves too great
Before the student finds himself he Is
swamped or discouraged The rem
edy here would seem TO be smaller
classes, and longer periods, and fac
ulty advice for each student.
There are some in every school
who have no aptitude for education
above the elementary school. In high
school they are entirely out of their
element and 1t would be saving of
time and a blessing to them If they
could be persuaded to seek more con-
genial fields of activity in the indus
trial world.
The Course of Study does not seem
to meet the needs of the pupils. AS
body we are teaching a Course of
Study instead of children We admin
lister the serum without regard TO
whether il kills or ours.
Finally, admitting all--the faults of
the course, the mistakes of the teach
ers, and the failure to motivate the
work through the inherent interests
of children so that the pupil Identifies
himself with both the ends and the
means-it caYnot be denied that some
are eliminated from lack of brains.

"A VISIT TO ANOTHER SCHOOL
SYSTEM: REPORT or / les
son IN ARITHMETIC.
~ MIss FANNIE DUVALL

Eighth Grade. Annapolis Grammar
School
The arithmetic lesson followed an
interesting one in music
AS soon as the music books had
been collected and without any an
nouncement for preparation, the teach
er, without raising her voice, dictated
about ten numbers. nothing higher
than tens. for oral work in the funda-
mentals, TO which an answer was
quickly given Similar columns of
numbers were dictated for about eight
minutes.
The pupils were then told to take
their books and read problem silent
ly. The work involved plastering.
carpentering, masonry. papering and
excavating When a decision had been
reached by a pupil, he was asked To
go to the board and put on signs,
showing the successive steps to be
taken in working the problem. This
plan was followed until five problems
had been studied The pupils were
then told to study the problems again
and give approximate answers. Con-
siderable discussion took place at this
point among the hildren. The an
swers were criticised and reasons were
were given for agreement and disa-
greement The teacher, OF course, di-
rected the discussion by few thought
full questions now and then.
When an answer had been agreed
upon by a number of pupils, it was
placed upon the board. This continued
until all problems had been given ap-
proXimate answers.
The assignment for Mondays lesson
was to work the example and compare
the approximate and exact answers.
Time for the above was fifteen min
utes.
Arithmetics were put in the desks
after this part Of the lesson.
The class was then asked to write
original problems using the above, and
applying them to the subjects men
toned in the beginning of this report
These were read aloud and an inter

lowed, as to the practicability of the
problem. The teacher only Joined in
when it was necessary.
Four pupils were sents TO the board
to work out problem and the others
worked at the desks. AS there was
only time for one boy at the board to
explain his problem, the other three
were assigned to be brought in on
Tuesday.
Time, 20 minutes. Criticism by
teacher and pupils was received
kindly.

time around $1,5OO,OOOOOO a month.
Jnue, thus far, has been the highwa-
ter month of the war, S1,512,000, 900
having been expended during that
month.
Some indication of the growth in
expenditures may be seen in the fact
that in April, 1917, when we entered
the war, the months expenditures
amounted to only $2S9, 100000 so to-
days compilation shows a steady in
crease to point where they are now
over 500 per cent. of the first month

Thanks for Publicity Given.

notices OF transfer of our lectures
from the university to certain
churches in the city.
We are doing everything possible to
accommodate the United States gov
ernment in the preparation for the
war. and II there are any universities
on this continent doing more we will
try to initiate them. We have given
over one building entirely to the Bu-
reau of Mines and thirty rooms in
another for their officers. This is
compelling US to ask a favor of some
Of the churches in the city, all Of
which have been very gracious in ten
dering us the use of their buildings for
our eXiled lecturers. These lectures
are all free and are simply a part OF
our university extension system.
We are under tremendous burdens
and expenses, as We invite everybody,
without cost. to come to any and all
OF these lectures.
We are grateful for such help as Is
given us by the churches and news
papers. We would not presume to ask
favors II we were not doing every
thing ourselves without cost to the
government and il they were paying
rent at such prices as they are paying
