what kind of children these are.
Going inside the building you
find groups of children reading
rather torn magazines or taking
books down from the rough shelves.
A large square piano is over at one

re-. always are trying to thump out
their school songs. Besides the
general reading room is a little
kitchen where the girl scouts have
their meetings and cook their sup
pers, a boys recreation room,
gymnasium, and, upstairs, is a
general lecture hall.
Miss Goldthwaite, who is in
charge, has such a perfect under
standing OF the children that every
thing usually goes very smoothly.
or If trouble starts she knows how
to nip it in the bud.
The other day a group of girl
scouts were in Miss Goldthwaite's
private office planning for Christ

tive boys insisted on pressing their
noses against the glass door, listen

This made the committee so furi

out threatening the boys with, you

side of the room talking with a
visitor, looked up in surprise at the
outburst, and then laughed good

the boys took their caps and went
off grinning as though it were the
best joke in the world while the
girls with a proudly triumphant
smile with Miss Goldthwaite, went
back to their Christmas planning.
One day, however, when Miss
Goldthwaite was in New York, af
fairs were little more rocky. The
assistant, who was temporarily in
charge, was very attractive girl
but quite young, with bObbed hair

ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
playthines for the Riddles Necessary to the Proper Conduct of
 Their Society.

xN H1LE the making of toys is an
 w art that is probably practically as old as the world itself, t has been only within recent years that science has bothered itself about them. Less than half a century ago they were re garded merely as playthings-amus- ing diversions for children that were by no means necessary to their we'll being. Today, however science insists that there is well-defned philosophy underlying the use of toys; that they Ere the tools with which the little ones ply their trade; the paraphernalla nee essary to the proper conduct of their society; that dolls, for example, are Tpore to them than the associates that help to entertain them In that they aid them in the attainment Of their mental growth by stimulqting the natural emotions which must be ex- perienced in later life.
 Whether this theory of the scientists is correct or not, the fact remains that ctldren have always had the play things requisite for their limitations of the domestic life and business affairs of older people; that they have alwass required their elders 10 provide them with such Inventions, and that when they could not obtain these toys by any other means they themselves have sought and found objects that might be made to suit their purposes. Even the somnolent middle Ages did not put an end to their pastimes The toys In which they found diversion may have been more simple, but, as they met the demands of nature, they played their allotted part in the scheme of human deyelopment.-Publlc Opinion.

Anclent chrIstmaa custom.

Many quaint customs are observed at Christmas time in various English country parishes. In that of Cumnor, in Berkshire, of which the living is a vicarage and the church a beautiful specimen of an old English parochial edifice, all who pay tithes repair, af- ter evening service on Christmas day, to the vicarage where the vicar Is held in duty bound, by usage cen turies old, to regale them with four bushels of malt brewed Into ale or beer, two bushels of wheat baked Into bread, and half hundred weight of cheese. Any remnants of this feast are distributed among the poor of the parish after morning prayer the next day.

 For 1t is no light thing to choose Christmas gifts judciously. The whole secret of their acceptability lies in their appropriateness. Not only must they be appropriate to the per- son from whom they come and to whom they go, but to the circumstances in which the latter is placed For an in- stance, there are few housekeepers who do not welcome an addition of fine linen to their store. But If to housekeper who lives plainly in sim ole surroundings one sends a superb lace-trimmed tea cloth or doilies that throw all her other possessions into the shade, there is an unsuitabilIty about the gift that robs it of much of Its charm.-Harper's BaZar.

Traditions of Christmas Festival.

In the records of every nation we find traditions of the Christmas fesh- val. traditions which have been hand ed down from generation to genera ton in oft4told tales which thrilled the hearts of the listeners with al- ternate fear and delight. Sir Walter Scott tells US that they who are born upon Christmas or Good Friday will see spirits, and will have the power Of commanding them. He also adds that the Spaniards imputed the down. cast looks of their monarch, Philip II, to the disagreeabie visions to which this privilege subjected him.

HANCOCK
win have New High School
From the Record.

After a week or two of discussion and
argument that was decidedly warm at
times between the pros and cons, the
election last Monday evening effectually
demonstrated that a large majority of
our folks clearly realized the need of an
increased school capacity and of the two
hundred and fifteen votes cast at the
election on the two propositions 14O were
in favor of a new high school and II
were against while the vote on the bond
issue stood at 131 in favor and 70
against, in both cases being almost
two to one vote. The vote would have
been more strongly in favor at that un-
der different building conditions as
many thought that although we needed
and should have a new high school yet
if we waited a year or two that we could
build cheaper as both material and labor
would be cheaper but this theory is at
the best but a guess and the dlstrlcC
was hardly in shape to take the chance
or in fact to take advantage OF 1t IL II
were certain as the need for more room
is immediate and imperative and the
majority of the voters took TINS view OIL
the matter as is being done in num-
her of the surrounding towns. rms IS
the fourth time in the tWenty-One years
we have been in this village, that the
district has been up against TINS same
question Of more room for our schools:
Twice the district enlarged the Ola
building and the third time put up the
present school and in each instance the
voters of the district thought sure they
had provided ample room for at least
ten or fifteen years and in each instance
if took only three to five years to show
that the village was growing mucn
faster than any of it's citizens thought
possible. This time, it would seem, we
have made sure beyond the possibility
of a doubt, that our school needs will
be taken care of for some years to come
as with high school that will accom-
modate one hundred and fifty pupils and
the present building with a room for
each grade if necessary, we can take
care of nearly if not quite four hundred
and fifty scholars, besides having ample
space for manual training, domestic
science and the physical training OF all
scholars which is coming in the course
of but a year or two.
