In The Given Time.
Give more time to main subjects,
such as arithmetic and english. Make
longer assignments.
Teachers make better preparation
that longer assignments may be hand
led in the same time. Teachers should
have well matured written plans.
Assign additional work to be pre-
pared at home, this work not to be
recited in class.
Use the lecture plan of recitation
occasionally.
Give less time to the brighter pupils
and more to the less brilliant
Plan your assignments several days
or weeks ahead that you can have
the important points or principles
well in mind, that you can stress these
and touch lightly on the less import
ant In other words the less time the
teacher has the nearer the teacher
should confine the lesson to the basis
principles. 49,.
Remember a few principles well
taught are better than many poorly
taught
Teach the pupils big things in a
big way to give big views.
To make high school credits and
arrive at the number of required
units to enter college, the teacher
will have to plan methods of reciti-
tons. There are enough hours in
the school day to spare to give the
high school pupil the required number
of hours. The teacher may have a
written lesson from one class while
hearing another orally. A class may
recite after the regular school hour
for one period, or may meet the
teacher for an hour or so on a holi-
day or Saturday and no doubt there
are other ways that will suggest them
selves to the thoughtful teacher from
time to time. The way credits stand
in most high schools is about as fol-
lows, for instance in the subject of
History there is required forty min
ute or two-third hour period for one
hundred and eighty days to make !
unit of credit.
1sOx2-3 equal 12O the number of |
hours to make a unit of credits. |
High schools have been in session
about thirty days, then 3Ox2-3 equal
20 number of hours work previously
done in History. 1000 equal 100 num-
Der of hours work to be done in
History. Schools have been closed
thirty days, thus leaving 100 days to
be taught. 120x2-3 equal so number of
hours that can be done in the usual
recitation period in time remaining
100-S0 equal 20 number of hours nee
eccary to be made outside the usual
recitation period to make the full unit
Of credit in History. This applies
similarly to other subjects of the
course.

JULY FOURTEENTH.

One piece OF evidence which indicates unnais-
takably the cementing of the feeling in this
country for France and the French people is the
announcement that ninety or more American
cities have planned tomorrow to commemorate
the national holiday of France, in a manner
which will be similar in kind and degree to the
celebration which marked the observance of our
own Fourth of July. In foundation the two
days are very close together: each marks the
day on which the nation decided to establish it's
freedom. The common crisis today sees the two
great republics joined in the desperate struggle
te safeguard that freedom and to extend it to
other nations of the earth
1t seems eminently proper that these ami
versaries should not be considered any longer
the exclusive property of the people with whom
their observance began Our mutual ties are
many and are strong. Frances early teachings
had their reaction upon America and French
physical assistance played no small part in the
fight for American liberty. The present union
of purpose and effort will bind the two countries
nseparably together, not only in a military way
but through the physical contact which mil
lion OF our own men will have with the French
soldiers and the reaction which will be set up
through their acquaintance with French life and
customs 1t seems only the logical thing for
the people at home to demonstrate publicly
their high regard for the French people and
their spirit on this their day of celebration

TROUBLES OF A NEUTRAL.

s.. Not content with the political and military
problems which inevitably trouble nation
which attempts to assume and follow a neutral
attitude In the present strained world condi-
eiitlons, some uncomfortable and unkind force
has now visited one of the conspicuous neutrals
with scourge of grippe. Reports say that on
July there were $500 cases among the men in
Swiss service and among interned troops Swift
zerland's armed force at it's best is not immense
and the incapacity of $500 of them through
gTippe-not ordinarily fatal in it's effects but
serious enough to suspend active work temper
arily-will be material embarrassment to the
little country. Spies in her land, constant in
triguing by agents of belligerent powers under
cover of neutrality, continual threatened viola
tion of her neutrality ON the borders unceasing
temptation on the part of Germany to force her
to ally herself on the side of the Central Pow

SERVICE MORALE.

In another column of this issue we are pub
fishing portions of an article written by Mr.
Daniel A. Polling for the Outlook. The article
aside from being Accordingly interesting, is sig
nifcant in that well matured mind in man
who has seen life broadly speaks very plainly
but at the same time in extremely satisfactory
and encouraging terms, of the all-important SUBJ
iect of the morale of the American soldiers
abroad
There have been times when evidence ap-
Deared which was not so satisfactory; there
have been reports, isolated to be sure and with
out the maturity Of thought which Mr. Polling
is able to give to the subject, which said that
American morale was not what it should be.
The Americans qualification will be complete
to hear this testimonial.
One other phase of the account is striking.
and we would call particular attention to it, Mr.
Polling says-and this is the gst of the entire
article-"He (the American soldier in France)
is a representative American And he is living
on moral plane which is above the moral plane
of civilian life at home" If one will credit the
Judgment Of the author when he speaks en-
couragingly of the service moral Tone one can
hardly deny him the same compliment when he
turns upon home conditions with which he is,
naturally, more conversant. His Indictment,
therefore, must have truth to it; and we are
not exceeding the bounds of safety when we
say there is plenty of evidence to substantiate
what he says. We know that army discipline
and army conditions are such as not to permit
| Of gross irregularities in morality whatever
hidden misdeeds there may be, In this respect
the freedom Of civilian life is perhaps danger
Gus, inasmuch as it does not have the regulat-
ing supervision which hangs over the head of
every man in the service This moral rectitude
| is supposed to come from the voluntary regu-
lation by the individuals themselves without
the supervision of outside authorities Its
failure is an Indictment Of the people them
selves.
