MY IDEAL TEACHER

The following essay on My Ideal
 Teacher was written by Miss Nanna Garrett, of the local high school:
 Various people have different ideas
 as to the qualifications that make an
 ideal teacher. Of course we do not have the same, but we have our own individual idea. My ideal teacher is
 one who will set forth high ideals for his pupils. He will strive to make his pupils seek higher and greater things instead of being contented with
 the commonplace things of life. The teacher should try to make the pupil traightforward, not only in school but in every day life, and always try to do his best instead of doing only that which he is compelled to do. A teacher should first win the respect of l his pupils. One way in which he can do this is by his discipline. He should | first give his pupils to understand that there must be attention and order | during recitation, and order and study or good behavior while in the study | hall. When he corrects a pupil for a
 mistake in recitation, he should leave
 off the sting in his voice and not | frighten the pupil so that he cannot remember what he has said to Jim. ! He should have patience with the dull, and not try to make them feel that they know less than they really do. Encouragement should be given to those who try and fail instead of re- buke for not Rowing. Some teachers Pbecome fretted and provoked because
 a pupil can not understand some part of lesson. This should be avoided
 because when the pupil sees that the teacher is out of patience, he thinks
 of how the teacher feels instead of
 what is being said. Most all pupils
 lose respect for and soon despises a teacher who loses self-cOntrol raises his voice to a high pitch and raves. Most every pupil delights in torment ing teacher who has not self-control. When the teacher gets angry the pu- lege and that which is said to him has very little effect A teacher should not be partial to certain pupils be- cause they come from leading fami- lies but should try to treat all just the same. Every pupil whether rich or poor should be given as much en- couragement and as many privileges as any body else. The teacher should
 take interest in the pupils on the play ground. He should not act like a stick but should get out and show the pupiles that he has a personal in- terest in each. He should try to
 bring each one into the school ath- letics and activities on the play ground. Every teacher should set an example for the pupils in the church work. If teacher shows int crest and takes part in church work, the pupil will be apt to do the same.
 A teacher should be dependable.
 When he is called on to take some
 part in church and social he should try to do so. His pupils try to like him and then when they are called upon they will try to do their part. When, according to my idea of an ideal teacher, the teacher has these l characteristics, and puts them into 1 use, in trying to get his pupils to es- tablish higher morals and ideals, he has succeeded as a teacher.

DO YOUR TOES SPREAD OUT?
Mary {. 6ayIey, r. NJ, Tells What,
in an Experts Opinion, the
Feet Should Be Like.

Does the great toe of your foot Cor
the big toes of both feet) continue In
a straight line from the heel? And
do your other toes spread apart2 If
this condition exists you have good
understanding feet, according TO Mary
K. Bayley, II. ~, who tells in the De-
lineator what feet should be like. Her
article has been approved by DR.. Virgil
T.. Gibney, surgeon i'm chief of the Hos
pital for the Relief of the Ruptured
and Crippled, New York, and there
fore bears the stamp of authority.
Too much care cannot be taken of
the feet, Miss Bayley continues, as
they are the keystone to correct body
position and have much to do with
ones health. Particular attention
should be paid TO shoe fitting between
the ages of nine and fourteen, since
this Is the period of growth and ex-
pansion. Stockings, too, come In for
discussion, as tight-fitting ones COM
press the toes and interfere with the
circulation.

THE NEWEST NOTES IN HATS
Seen in Streamers That Hang
to the WaistIine.

Lace Is q becoming and decorative
note which Is still much used. 1t Is
sometimes seen in long streamers that
fall from the brim across the back and
hang TO the waistline, or, again, 1t Is
draped at one side. There are some
shadow designs, but the Spanish laces
are particularly interesting and quite
different from anything used during
the summer, because Of their definite
ly heavy pattern and silky weave Me-
tallic laces In gold and silver are deco
rative for evening hats.
Soft willow ostrich with long lues,
natural or glycerinized ostrich feath-
ers, l%acquered quilts, and narrow RIB
bons are used for trimming. Very
often, black feathers are tipped with
silver.-Vogue.

COlORED fur FAD
Dyed Feit7y Prominent in Some
OF the Paris Studios.
Only Suitable for evening Wear, TO
Trim Wraps, Scarves or Dresses,
Correspondent Says.

The new furs are very lovely, and
when | say new" | mean just that,
asserts Il fashion correspondent. 1t
has become the fashion 70 invent new
furs, so much SO that the really rare
and valuable skins do not find such
eager purchasers as do the made-up,
dyed and cleverly prepared pelts.
Such Is the power of fashion.
In Paris colored furs, like colored
laces, are very prominent in certain
exclusive studios. And it must be adj
mitted that some of these curious furs
are exceedingly attractive. My per-
sOnal opinion is that they are only
suitable for evening wear; TO trim
elaborate wraps, scarves or dresses.
There Is a beautiful shade Of
raspberry pink, which is produced in
a fur which looks exactly like ermlne,
but which is In reality specially pre-
pared rabbit. l saw an evening dress

PROPER CARE FOR YOUR HATS
Velvet Hesdgear Needs Especial At
tention-Each Hat Should Have
Box Of Its Own.

It is not only the wear tssc< O hat
receives that makes II isG9 Nd &esh-
ness and shape. II u tlo va9 ss hat
Is treated when it is nOt In use that
has a good deal to do with this.
Velvet hats are so much In evidence
this season that the chances are you
have n or will have before many
weeks. These need particular care,
and will repay you the care you give
them. The old-fashloned way was to
have q piece Of heavy black MOURN
ing crepe with which to rub off the
dust from velvet. but a velvet brush
il easier to handle. A heavy. coarse
brush should be used on velvet.
The best time to brush dust from
velvet Is after you have worn the hat,
unless II Is damp or spotted with rain.
Then you should not use a brush until
II Inns been thoroughly dried.
Il is hard in limited quarters to give
your hats the right place to repose
when not In use, unless you are content
to get along With but n or two
hats a season. ideally. each hat should
have a box Uf Its own, and even your
ordinary hats should he boxed when
not In use. Hats that have trimming
Of the housekeeping variety should
not be laid fiat IN a box but should
rest ON n little hat block-anything.

DAHLlA SHADES NOW WORN
Popular Fall Colors Find Way Into
Skirt Materials That Meet
With Favor.

The dahlia shades, long hailed as
the popular fall color, have found their
way into the skirt materials, one Of
the latest prunella weaves having this
color stripe In combination with green
and a narrow pin stripe Of the dahlia
forming the box plait with the green
stripe inverted. The garment has the
dark hipline. Convertible pockets and
side trims to simulate pockets are to
be seen on some OF the w models,
the advantage being that the ultimate
consumer, by removing either the
pockets or the trimmings, has a diff
ferent style garment, with no earmarks
of "last season."

The natives Of the interior of Africa
are very different from those Of the
coast regions who have absorbed the
worst that civilization has to offer,
yet many q traveller, touching only
the fringe of the Dark Continent,
builds his ideas Of its people on those
corrupted by alcohol, European NOR
ais, and the passion for gain either
by fair means or foul. In the Bel
gian Congo, for example, where are
TO be met typical negroes of the trop-
les, one finds people who are frankly
savages, to be sure, with customs dis
gusting TO the westerner but who
possess good traits for all that. If
the tribes are approached properly
hardly one will be found which Is not
naturally good-tempered, and in most
instances hospitable and trustful.
Stanleyville, the chief station in
n~orth-central Congo, was a few years
ago a strange mixture of an Arab,
European and negro town. Whatever
harm the Arabs may have done to the
natives, and there IS no doubt that In
their slave-raiding expeditions they
have slaughtered them by the thou
sands, they certainly have taught them
many a good thing. 1t was the Arabs
who introduced rice. Madagascar po-
tatoes, beans and many useful plants.
They have taught the natives clean
Illness and established schools In many
centers.
The town Is much used as an out
fitting point for expeditions but at
times 1t Is disappointingiy short Of
supplies. In making trips up the
Congo river from Stanleyville one
must cross the river below the falls
and have his luggage carted to a
point on smooth water above the
cataracts.

ceeded at his death by the next richest
man Of the tribe. His principal func.
tlon Is to act as money-lender to his
subjects. No tribute Is paid to the
chief, but he has a right to the ribs
of every human being killed for food
and to the hind legs of each animal
killed during the great hunts. IL a
chief is young enough, he acts as
leader In war; otherwise n of his
sons takes his place.
intermediate between the chief and
the ordinary freeman is an hereditary
class called muri, who may not eat
human flesh nor yet the meat Of fowls.
They are distinguished by an iron
bracelet and a special headcovering of
cloth, which may not be removed by
any one under penalty Of death, even
IL the offender did not intend to touch
IL.
The bracelet Of a murs passes at
death to the nephew Sisters sony,
who succeeds to the dignity. and the
heir must steal the skull Of his uncle.
The corpse Is buried for some two
months. then the skull Is exhumed,
painted red, and placed In the house
It's owner used to occupy. The
nephew must gain possession OF
It at night without being observed,
and, after hiding 1t for a few days In
the bush, take 1t home to his hut.
II a muri Is killed in war, his brace
let Is sent home. but the skull has to
be stolen as before from the hostile
, village. The chief privilege of u
member of this class is the right To a
! portion OF each animal killed in hunt
