Talks ie Special Classes
A Talk 10 Teachers.

Every man, l imagine, has in
mind certain vague types or ex-
amples when he thinks of woman
His mother, his sister, his sweet
heart, his wife, his teacher-some-
thing like composite Of all these
is the ideal woman. Fortunate for
him and for the world if his ideal
is a beautiful one.
One of the serious faults with
many teachers right now is their
lack OF knowledge from the eye
brows down. For this, OF course,
the teachers themselves are not to
blame so much as the educators
who trained the teachers. Being
ignorant of all that concerns the
welfare of the pupil below the
brow, how can teacher hope to
understand boys and girls and win
their confidence and love, save by
chance? And what chance has any
teacher, may ! ask. who is com
PEELED by an unwiSe curriculum to
require a pupil to study two or
three hours a day over and above
the regular school hours?
1t may be true that teachers have
little or nothing to say about the
arrangement OF curriculum or
the methods of teaching in a given
school, but it is nevertheless the
consensus of opinion of the teach
ers in a given school or community
that finally determines whether
home work" shall be the bane Of
the pupils school life. Too many
good high schools have found
home work" entirely unnecessary,
for any teacher to insist that it
can't be avoided. There is no bet
ter gauge of a schools efficiency
than the very amount of home
work" expected OF pupils who
spend five hours daily in school
the more home work" the lower
the general standing of the school.
What l mean is that a given school,
rightly conducted, will accomplish
much better work without requir-
ing home study or night study than
it can accomplish with any amount
of such study outside of school
hours. When home work" is the
order of the day, you may be sure

@. How much power does an cleo
tric fan use? G. D. c.
A. The bureau of standards says
that an electric fan uses from 20 to
SO kilowatt hours per month, run
ming "a hours a day. The variation
is due to difference in size of fan
and difference in efficiency of the
motors used.
@. Has the sun been entirely free
from sun spots this year? What is
their cause and effect? P. r.
A. The naval observatory says a
few spots have been observed on
the sun so far this year. Various

spots have ben put forth by differ
ent astronomers, but it cannot be
said that any of these theories have
been definitely accepted. The only
relation between sun spots and con-
ditions at the earth's surface that
has been satisfactorily demonstrat-
ed is that when the spots are nu-
merous, magnetic disturbances on
the earth are especially violent.
@. How can 1 rid my attic of
bats.
A. The biological survey says the
first step to take towards getting rid
of bats is to close up all opening in

Then set several small steel traps
such as are used in catching rats,
batting them with any of the bait
Used for rats.
@. How should a concrete floor
be prepared for dancing? F. W. c.
A The floor may be treated with
paraffln wax dissolved in turpen-
tine, followed by coating OF pow
dered wax worked onto the floor
in the same way that a wooden
floor is waved or polished. Or the
floor may be coated with a lather
Of liquid soap rubbed in with a
scrubhing brush. An occasional
application OF powdered soap will
keep the floor in condition.

Guard Against Doubt

When you doubt you controlled by your negative

The negative of mind will destroy your purpose
and consume your energy. the absence of effort
Worry, anxiety and fear cannot-n their very nature

Any doubt that feeds your active powers takes away
selfreiance and destroys your confidence in your
SELF well as the confidence of others in you.
When purposefu buoyant qualities of mind leave
you, and doubt creep injust darkness always

Guard against your negative of mind and you
