INSPIRATION AT ODD TIMES
How LcngfeIIow Wrote Wreck Of the
Hesperus"-Rossini Composed
Music in Bed.

LOngfcllOw's Wreck of the Hespe-
rus" came to him as ne was sitting by
his fireside, the night after a violent
storm. He went to bed. but could not
sleep; the Hesperus would not be de-
MED; and as he lay the verses flowed
on without let or hindrance until the
poem was completed.
One at least of ROssini's splendid
pieces of music was composed in bed.
1t was when he was young, poor and
unknown, and lived in wretched quar-
tiers. After writing a duet the COM
poser allowed his manuscripts TO slip
OFF the sheets and fall under the bed,
and moreover be believed II would be
unlucky TO pick the sheets up; so he
went to work to rewrite the duet. To
his disgust he could not remember 1t.
II was therefore necessary to write a
new one. This he had finished when
a friend entered.
"Try that" said the composer, land
tell me what you think of It," The
verdict was favorable.
"Now." said ROssini, look under the
bed. You'll find another duet there.
Try that, too"
The friend did so. and declared the
original composition was much the
better. 1t is included in his works to-
day.

GREAT DEMAND FOR
 STENOGRAPHERS! 1!

Stenographers and Bookkeepers are badly needed in the Government of fees at Washington according to a let ter received by Draughons Practical Business College, Little Rock, from the Honorable Martin A. Morrison, Presl dent of the United States Civil Ser vice Commission He says that the shortage of stenographers and book keepers in Washington is so great that the situation has become acute and seems to grow worse instead of bet ter.
 Some branches of the government service are calling for stenographers in great numbers. The Bureau of War Risk Insurance recently asking for one thousand stenographers and typists at one time. In addition to the entrance salary of $1200 year bonus of from S10 to $20 a month is given by the government Mir. Morrison says that the average stenographer who enters the government service at S1200 year will receive after one months satis- factory service, pay at the rate of $1400 a year. Promotion to higher salaried places is reasonably rapid, and de pends on the ability of the stenogra pher The demand for bookkeepers in government service is equally great
 A shortage of trained office help also exists in Little Rock and throughout Draughon's Little Rock College had 10i calls for sten0graphers and book keepers They were able to fill only 57 of these positions and after making every effort to secure young men and women with the required training had to leave 47 of the places unified
 The need of trained office help is so great that every one who starts bus ness training may rest assured of a position just as soon as he is able to meet the demands of the business world
 Prepara tion for the Civil Service examinations is part of the regular course of study at Draughon's College and any young man or woman with common school education can expect to qualify and secure one of these po- sitions by devoting a few months to business training.
 Catalog of the school and descrip- 1 tive literature will be sent ts anyone interested

More Savings Societies.

The pupils of the fourth grade have War Savings Societies and their arith- metic lessons are based on weekly re- ports of their treasurers. Here are some of the examples;
 The treasurer reported that pupils had War Savings Stamps each, IA pupils had l War Savings Stamp, and that different pupils In the room owned 2S Thrift Stamps. How much money had the pupils spent alto gether for Thrift and War Savings Stamps, if the War Savings Stamps cost $4.14 each?"
 Jack has the best record By sell ing papers he had saved enough money to buy two War Savings Stamps and l2 Thrift Stamps. How much money had he loaned to the government if he paid $414 each for the War Savings 5 amps?"
 Fifth grade War Savings Societies keep track of the total savings of their members through the medium of two thermometers sketched upon the blackboard. One represents the 5A grade and the other the 5B grade Each dollar saved by the members is shown by raising an indicator one de gree on it's thermometer.
 Problems for the fifth grade pupils arc along the following lines

Marbles and Chalk in Problems Yield to Money, Thrift and War

Arithmetic. as 1t is being taught this year in the lower grade schools of St Louis. Is not like that which the older brothers and sisters of the pupils of today studied, says the Post Dispatch. The habit of thrift is being encouraged along lines suggested by the Savings Division of the United States Treasury Department.
 No longer Is the child in the first or second grade asked to solve the problem of how many marbles A has after be has added two to his stock of three. Marbles do not amount to much in the present-day studies. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are now taught with examples concern ing the life of the squirrel-how the squirrel saves and why he saves. He builds comfortable and durable home In the hollow of tree and works all summer and fall laying away nuts and cause it is much more comfortable to gather food in summer and to remain indoors when 1t Is cold In winter
 Compared to Rabbit
 Continuing about the squirrel, the teacher compares its wisdom to that of the rabbit, which never stores away anything, must hunt for food all win ter long, no matter how deep the snow may be. and sometimes starves to death for want of something to eat. The conclusions drawn are that the squirrel is very much wiser than the rabbit because he saves food for the coming winter, as squirrels save nuts for winter so children can save little things for times when they will need them-papers, chalk, pencils and pen nies-and last, but not least, that boys and girls can save their pennies by buying Thrift Stamps.

Follow ing are two problems on Thrift and War Savings Stamps illustrative of those given out to the third grade:
 Louise saves cents a week from l. | dust. How many weeks will it take her to save enough for a War Savings Stamp that costs $4.20?"
 Harry paid $417 for War Savings Stamp. January l, 1923. he will re- ceive s5 for the stamp. What is the difference between what he paid for it and what he will receive for it?"
