ON TEACHING HISTORY
TO LITTLE CHILDREN

~ Eva March 1appan, fu-D-
As a child. i had q profound dis
ike fer history. and considering that
q history recitation IN those days
was hardly more Than a struggle 10
ree1te 4-the lesson as nearly verba-
TIN as possible, ] am inclined to think
that my childish Judgment was very
good. Poor little youngsters that we
were, who had 10 draw plans of bat
lie grounds, 10 learn the numbers
killed and wounded on the opposing
sides, and 10 recite lengthy lists of
dates. adjusting It's proper event TO
each. We had so little idea of the
relative importance of the events that
the burning of a tiny village BY the
Indians seemed TO ms quite as mo-
mentous as the surrender Of Quebec.
A child has little background of
knowledge Dates mean nothing TO
him and proper names, if he knows
nothing Of their bearers, might inst
as wei be Greek.
In teaching history TO children,
there Is just one fact that we can
generally depend upon, and that Is
their unfailng interest In people The
ehildren's Librarians say that they
cannot begin TO supply the demand
for short, interesting biographies.

the children would not soon be able
to put into their proper divisions.

Idrht tho County Highways.

Farm Life, a very optimistic agri-
cultural paper, expects to see electric
lights string along the county roads
within a few years. Is that expecting
too much? Certainly not. Many of
us can remember when we took our
lanterns and rubbers TO negotiate the
home town streets after nightfall. Now
we walk OH cement. and with its cleo
trio light globes up to midnight home
town is almost as light as day. The
cost is not considered. We wanted
lights in hometown, and we have
them. In the country. TOO. there will
be electric globes swinging at inter-
walls along every pike road Where
water power is available. the current
for these lights will cost almost moth
ing. Where IT is convenient. the wires
will be circuited from central lighting
plants. In many cases the farmers
own private lighting plant will be used
to illuminate the roadway along his
land. There will he 4 light at every
cross road. at every bridge or culvert.
and at every turning. Townspeople
will cooperate with the farmers in
maintaining these lights. and will share
the cost. not only because the towns
people use the roads. but because they
are interested in encouraging the full
est and most convenient travel be-
tween country and town. The ancient
demand for more light is being sup
piled and the world is becoming a
more cheerful place.

Reuiew of Weeks
Trade in Richmond
Supposed "Of" Season

dence of Dizziness.

If one is to Judge by the retail bust
ness done in this city last week i;
may be set down as n certainty that

There was activity in all lines, and
the dryEoods merchants and the foot
wear sellers had nearly as good trade
as they have any right TO expect at
what is usually termed the busy sea-
son-that is. later III the year or in
the early springtine.
Hardware dealers report fine bust
ness. which IS due very largely to the
Increase Ill building operations. as the
heavy sales made during the past week
were mainly of such articles as are
used in house building.
The clothing sellers had fairly good
business. People who have been put
ting off laying in clothing. hoping for
cuts in the high prices demanded. all
the way from the sleeps back to the
retailers counter" seem 10 have reach
ed the conclusion that IL 5 useless TO
wait longer and that the time has come
to consider wherewith they shall be

Business in all jobbing lines ives

son. The manufacturers had their
hands full. and have no cause of COM

The labor troubles over the country.

absence Of spot demand were the
main selling influences, but on the
close there was a better allround feel

Congress being we'll received. while
the better turn in railroad tro3bles
was regarded as important.
There were strong advances on the
closing session because OF the appear
ance o. a tropical storm in the Carib-

done because OF complaints of insect
damage in the Westerp belt.
In some quarters it is Thought that
this weeks market will be more OF i

growing season now is at hand.
