That was the great factories max
ing rope and bags These factories
buy boatloads and boatloads of flax
and hemp every year and make
thousands of miles of rope and mil
lions of bags. These are shipped
all over the world. The children
went through one of the mills and
saw how both are made from the
time the material is brought into
the factories until the ropes in
balls and bags in great bundles are
shipped out of the factories.
Next the children went to Aber'
deem. The children quickly found
out why Aberdeen is called the
Granite City" There are hund-
reds of granite "quarries which
are about the same as mines-near
Aberdeen and the city is built
mostly of the pretty stone-like
blocks.
1t took Captain Brave only a
couple of minutes to whisk the chill
dren from that city to Balmoral
castle, the place where the beloved
Queen Victoria of England spent
many pleasant summer hours
Ladydear told the children all
about the queen who ruled 50
kindly and graciously.
The shipyards at Glasgow, Scot
lands great seaport, visited next,
awed the children. The great city
is located on the River Clyde. The
huge harbor has been dug out so
that ocean liners and all types OF
big boats can enter it and unload
their passengers easily. There is
much iron and coal around Glasgow
and it takes a great number OF !
ships to carry these products away.
Big manufacturing plants turn out
goods for all parts of the world.
too, so you can see how important
the harbor is to that city.

A Hard Pull

Poor Mr. ,,',,, had a terrible

When he swallowed a tack by

tack:
Then the Pelican Dentist said, "Ill

And he climbed up on Iiitl

He peercd down the throat OF that

And then pulled out the tack
with a jerk,
But to pay the long bill he sent in

might return.
Certainly it would be a very simple
matter for Bob to pass out Of exts-
tence, under his guidance, and leave
the road open to his violent wooing.

THE SELECTION-OF TEACHERS.
Teachers With Peal Gifts of Inspira-
ton Means Something.

School boards have had some job
this year to fill their class rooms
with competent and successful
teachers. The pay has been made
quate that we'll trained young wom-
en- are hard to find. Men, save in
some of the higher ranks, have de-
serted the profession. Advances in
teaching salaries are now being made
all over the country, but it will be
some years before properly qualified
candidates will be as numerous as
formerly. Many girls are getting po-
sitions who never even went through
Ia high school. :.
X OF course it takes more than edu-
cation to make a real teacher.
Some poorly educated girls still
have the power of leadership, They
have the gift of magnetism, the
faculty of doing things in an inter-
esting way, of stirring up children S
ambition. When girl has that
qualification, defects in education
can be overlooked.
y Finding teachers with real gift
of Inspiration means that the lives
of the cnildren under her are going
to be transformed. Dull pupils will
wake up and begin to fit themselves
for real successes in life. Those more
gifted will be persuaded to aim high
and accomplish great things.
On the other hand, common
place teacher means droning dis
orderly, and languid school, where
the only idea is to dream through the
study hours until playtime comes
!, Children form life long habits OF
tindolence in such schools.
School authorities should investi.
gate records of applicants carefully
SO as to make sure that all will
make good. Better spend money or
time in telegraphing or travelling
than secure misfits. Decorah has had
high standard of teaching ability
in the past, and in these difficult
times it is anxious to do better work
than ever before.
