with some club and they will help
to secure il for you. Anything to
help improve a place seldom gets a
cold hand.
A.. If your cottage is not furnished
don't say a lot of unpleasant things
about your county or your superiors.
Get in and make some crude ones if
you don't wish to spend until you will
get what you want. l will admit that
some times you will have to wait d
long time to get anything, but, if you
never give up you will get it.
5. Raise flowers so you a have
them in your cott~a es. Does it mat
ter how shabby a place may look
if you had a bunch of pretty flowers
you will make your cottage look
brighter.
6. Never leave your walls bare.
You can get pictures from maya mes
and calendars. Arrange them artI. i

Six Ways In Which
Teachers Themselves
Might Improve Cottages

(By Dollie Lee, Principal of Kihei
School.)
There are many ways in which
teachers themselves can improve their
cottages.
The six ways in which l believe
teachers themselves might improve
their cottages are as follows:
1. Treat a teachers cottage as you
would you own home. Improve it as
much as you can without going into
expense. Do not use and apply the
expression: Il should worry, l won't
be here next year" Teachers with
this attitude are generally not happy
and c%ontented and they won't help to
make others happy when they leave
their places.
2. If the cottage is not inviting,
don't think the place is no good. Make
it so it will appear good, Of course
not all at once. Great things come by
f%aithfulness to small things.
3. should a cottage look bare and
old, beautify it by planting some ferns
flowers, or trees. You may ask where
are you going to get the plants. That's
easy to answer. Just get acquainted

fugees recalled the terrors through
which the local Chri. tians passed in
1917, when all the Al. enian section
was burned, thousands of Christians
were slaughtered and others fled into
the mountains.
This ancient city, which was called
Nicomedia in biblical times, was the
capital of Bithynia and under the Ro-
man Empire became one of the chief
cities of Asia Minor. Pliny described
it in his letters to Trajan as having n
senate house, an a%queduct, a forum

buildings. Diocletian made Ismid his
residence and began the persecution
Of Christians which the Osmanli con
tinued when they came into posses
sion in the fourteenth century.
Now is population has been swell

t~ionalists advance and by British
troops camped among the ruins Of
the old Roman and byzantine walls
on the mountain side, which now
bristle with barbed wire entangle-
ments and are converted into ma
chine gun shelters.

ants of the Sultan's forces which re-
