Keeping an Eye
On Conditions

Country school teachers in the state
of Washington are supplied with cot
tage homes of their own instead of
boarding round" with farmers FAM
lilies. A woman, Josephine G. Pres
ton, is state superintendent of public
instruction, and at her suggestion the
rural districts tried the plan of build
ing small cottages nea each rural
school to serve as a permanent home
for the teacher. Such cottages now
exist in 208 districts, and the effect
has been to obtain better trained and
more efficient teachers who remain
long enough to learn community needs
and become valuable citizens.

Coming to Strand.

One of the funniest of all the hu-
morouS things which Mary Pickford's
new and best feature. Daddy Long
Legs" which will be seen al the
Strand all next week is loaded In = Sc
ries of scenes In which Mary, as Judy
Abbott, takes too much hard cider.
The funny little drunk" rs not in
dulged in by Judy Abbott. the orphan
child Miss Pickford plays, with malice
aforethought. 1t happens that she
and a funny little orphan with a very
freckled face have just lead a "prune
strike" in which they have sought to
obtain better food for the children of
the asylum who are fed on thin soup
and prunes.
Prohibition Matron Spells "Jag."
The tyrannical head matron has
won the battle. being a large woman
able to dominate the covering little
waits who are charges of the institu-
ton, and to punish Judy. and the little
boy who aided her in encouraging
the children to strike, the matron puts
them out in the yard with nothing to
at. A thief who has been stealing
from a passing wagon throws over
the fence a jug of hard cider and
some sandwiches.
Judy and the boy have been pray
ing for food. They think this
dropped from Heaven. and proceed
to eat and drinE without inquiring
into the nature Of the donation. So
1t happens hat in the most innocent
way both children become happy"
Miss Pickford's portrayal of the sur
prised Judy. who Furnishes her enc
mics, gives jam TO all the children
and defies the ogre of a matron is
wonderfully done.
1t is only one Of the masterful
"bits" she does in this picture which
carrier Judy, the orphan from her
birth to her marriage to a rich man
who sends her to college.
