READING IN THE SCHOOLS

One OF the big changes that has taken place in public school
methods lies in the modified attitude reading study
Reading Rng and Rthmetic" the far famed Three RS
OF the Little Red School house. If child had these was thought
he had the fundamentals Of education
Middle aged and elderly people remember the old fashioned
reading books in which the pupils used pore
tons by Webster Clay and Everett and resde favoe poe
try by Longeow and Tenyso The selections were good and
stored the minds of the children with noble thoughts
The principal fault of these methods that the pupils
over and again the selections which they came to know
by heart, and which became a matter of dull routine
People who took this thorough old drill complain that
their day pupils could read aloud gracefully negeny now
schoo children halt and stumble their words many which
they mlsca and they do not the thing
This indeed loss Reading aloud is the important
thing Gives history and hand work. may be subjects nstruc-
lion ha come closer to community needs But at children
snoud read well enough so that reading Many modern pu
pills not merely not read aloud WE'LL but they reading
themselves very difficult The printed page looks formidable
te and they do not easily the ordinary
newspaper article Reading should be given sufficient time in the
SCHOOLS OF our county and state that pupil easily
destand the ordinary subjects discussed newspapers
anes Without this fundamental of education they will drift out
OF all touch with civic progress.

The Home Garden

In many commercial orchards of In
diana, as well as home orchards and
ornamental paintings, the San Jose
scale has become serious problem
and one which must be given prompt
and thorough attention if the trees are
to be saved Where orchards have
been regularly and properly sprayed
with the recommended lime-sulphur
spray each year and before the scale
has become conspicuously abundant,
no trouble is experienced in holding
the insects in check, but neglect and
improper methods or materials have
resulted in heavy infestations requir-
ing special controls, Prof. ]. J. Davis,
head of the entomology department of
Purdue university, says.
Spring treatments are recommended
but if fall spraying is practiced, either
alone or in combination with spring
applications of the dormant spray, the
application should be made as soon
after the leaves fall as possible, be-
tween the dropping of the leaves and
the time the trees become dormant.
The light to moderate infestations
may be controlled by the regular lime
sulphur spray, using by preference
either commercial concentrate one gal

made lime-sulphur. For heavy in
