SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Elizabeth Halloween started
teaching Elementary Science in the
high school this week A teacher has
long been needed in help with the high
school work. We now are able to
see our way clear until the end of the
year and not have too heavy a burden
IrCp the shoulders of a few of the stan.
We are fortunate to be able to secure
the services OF Miss Halloween who
will be with us until Christmas time.
The Home Economics Supervisor
for the state of South Dakota made a
visit to the department in Miller High
School a week ago. She approved the
work started by the department which
vas in line with the Smith Hughes
work in order to receive federal and
state aid for the work. She also re,
commended the work of Miss Jessie
Caldwell very highly
The Home Economics Department
started this week serving the Hot
Lunch to those who remain at noon.
All the pupils who remafn eat In the
Home Economics kitchen and under
supervision. One hot dish is served
each day and the cost will not go over
three cents a day. This is a great help
for those who are unfortunate enough
to have to bring their lunch to schoo,
for it gives them something very nour-
ishing and hot to eat with the rest of
their lunch at noon. Also they have a
very clean and pleasant place to eat
their lunch. 1t is planned to teach
them how to pack their lunch and also
what to pack in order that they might
bring to school at noon those items
most essential to their body
Two weeks ago Measurements in
Educational instruction were given
over all the grades. These measure
nlents are being analized at the office
and by the teachers in order that we
may know just where the pupils Of
Miller stand with the pupils OF other
schools in the country and also in
order that We may know the phases
of the work in which the pupils are
weakest in. They are a great help in
order to tell each pupils individual
difficulty. If time permits Mental
tests will be given throughout the en-
tire school. We r also going to give
physical examinations throughout the
entire school. With the three items
mentioned above il will be possible
to tell much more inteiligently and
successfully the needs OF each individ-
ual child and we will organize classes
in order to meet these needs We are
past the age when we treat the whole
room just alike. Earh pupil is an
individual by himself and must be Civ
ell the work most NEEDED by him and
the work that will make him progress
most rapidly. We have several prop
lens to meet in this nature and hope
that by the end of the year we will
be able to show the public some very
beneficial results obtained by the use
Of the above mentioned examinations.

1rv This Nerve Tonic

Our soldier boys fought on their
nerves" for days at a time in France
when it was impossible to get supplies
and water to them, aud now that We
are steadying ourselves after the great
war rush we need something to tone
up the nerves and reduce that high
blood pressure, for which purpose
there is nothing from the garden quite
as good as spinach. This crop should
be planted as soon as the ground is
prepared in the spring. Work up the
soil well and give a liberal amount of
manure or fertilizer.
Spinach should be forced to grow
Tapidly, so as to be crisp and tender.
Lay off the rows fifteen to twenty
inches apart and SOW the seed one inch
apart, one to two inches deep, using one
ounce to 100 feet of row.
This crop is worth working for.
Keep it we'll hoed or cultivated and
growing rapidly.
When the largest leaves are large
enough 10 use do not pull the plants,
but just pick off the large leaves and
allow the rest to grow for future use.
Many pickings may thus be made ur
to hot weather. Even after the plants
send up seed stalks the leaves on thes,
tsn- i
Every gardener ought to let some Of
the plants produce seed for growing tn,
next crop. A row of twenty five to fit,
feet ought to be enough.

EASTER flowers are so joyous We
- simply cannot resist them. They
are so fresh when we receive them from
the florists. Each stem is so stiff and
each flower so proudly lifts its head
that We long so to keep them just that
way, but alas and alack, how often
before the end of Easter Monday their
stems begin to weaken and the heads
of the blossoms begin to droop and the
fragrance seems to have been waited
away.
Now when we see this change we
breathe an unhappy sigh and say :
That is always the way, flowers al
ways die for me- Now pardon me,
that may be the way, but that is not
always the way. and flowers will not
die for you if you give them the proper
care. As soon as you receive them un-
wrap them. DO this carefully, rcmem-
bering that all spring bulbous stock has
brittle stems, and that the heads of
blooms are usually heavy and sudden
jerk of the twine or cotton tape such
as florists use is apt to break the stem.
This accident may mar the beauty Of
the entire plant.
When the plant is unwrapped, no
matter how wet the soil may appear,
water it at once. Let it stand in a
bucket of water for at least five min
utes. Then sprinkle the top and it will
be ready for a place in your window.
If you place it where it will not be
sunny it will last until every tiny bud
had unfolded.
Flowers in the modern dwelling. espe-
cially where there is a certain amount
of gas used, always have more or less
of fight for existence. They never. or
at least rarely, receive sufficient fresh
air or water. 1t is impossible to give
them the required moisture in the at
moAphere, therefore the least we can do
for them is TO give them plenty of
water.

OF happiness is the only worthwhile
one, then it is time to begin the edu.
cation all over again. For If all our
learning and all our study narrows our
minds instead of broadening them,
then what use is 1t?
Fortunately, the truly great do not
let their greatness disconnect them
with the divine spark Of everyday
things. Alexander Pope spoke very
truly when he said, "A little learning
Is a dangerous thing" Any woman
whatever her specially might be,

EASTER, the queen of festivals is
one of the movable feasts of
the Christian world. 1t comes early
in the spring months. Many of the
old customs still linger with us in
the various parts of the country.
The custom of distributing the pace,
or pasche egg, was at one time uni
versal in the Christian world. 1t is
still observed among the childsen.
In Scotland great numbers of dyed
Eggs are rolled or thrown about on
the lawns, and then are finally eaten.
just about this season of the year
we all hear the small boy and his
ilk, loudly calling: Upper, upper,

or colored fondant.
To Prepare Chocolate for Dipping

ring the chocolate to prevent streak

at temperature over 95 degrees
Fahrenheit. Eighty-five degrees
Fahrenheit is really much better.
Now dip the eggs and then lay on

Of Those Who Don't Much About 1.-THE Story Wonan
Who AHo,ced a Specially to NdrroU
Her Mind

no YOU remember back in school
~ how each teacher expected you to
know her subject best?
The other day I couldn't help listen.
Ing to the conversation Of two women
sitting in the seat in front Of me on
the trim. l say conversation. but
honestly, monologue would describe it
better because one of them, rather
young and smartly dressed, was doing
all the talking and the other one
well, she had a wiggly little boy on
her lap. The little girl who was sitting
beside me belonged to her, too.
The mother was young, though not
quite SO smartly dressed as her COM
panior.
The conversation was about period
furniture, and I CLEANED that the
woman without the little boy on her
lap had made learning all about it her
specially. I'm not going into the
things that were said, because I'm
afraid I should get them wrong, but
could see the side Of the little
mothers face and with every EXPIRES
sion she seemed to be meekly apologlz-
ing. Perhaps it was the furthest thing
from the mind of the other woman to
make that mother feel hopelessly
ignorant and uncultured, but that was
just what she was doing. Talked
period furniture and corrected the
little mothers occasional half.timid re.
marks about 1t to such an extent that
finally the woman with the adorable
little rosy checked boy on her lap kept
entirely quiet.
WHAT a pity it is when a woman
w allows the humanness in her sys-
TEN to be specialized out Of it. 1t is
splendid to be a thorough musician or
artist, and it surely is interesting and
helps a woman with her home to
know everything about furniture. But
these accomplishments ought to teach
US how to make life more livable, not
less so.
If specializing in one branch has
only the effect of closing our eyes to
all the rest of the beauties of the
world and making us think of our par
ticular pursuit of art, science, success
