The children would nave the ad-
vantage of being directed in their
study, and of getting the proper as
sistance and instruction when it Is
needed. Children need to be taught
how 20 study.
The parents would be relieved at
least in "a measure of having to keep
school every afternoon or night to DO
the work which the teacher was en-
ployed to do. The average home is
not suitable place for study, nor
the habits Of the average home con-
ducive to study.
Home study would not De done
away with in the middle and higher
grades of the school, but the neces-
sity for home study would be mater
ially lcssened. In the elementary
grades home study would be practl-
cally eliminated.
Study, recitation, relaxation and
play would be better distributed.
I The health of boths teacher and chill
dren would be improved by having a
midday lunch. Lunches should be
served at school in sanitary lunch
room. The children could buy a
cheap warm lunch, or bring their
lunch from home and eat it in the
lunch room. One Of the curious par
adoXes to be observed IN schools IS
this: We teach health and hygiene,
then proceed to violate our teaching
in our habits.
Finally, thousands of homes in our
land ought to hail with delight a
longer school day to aid them in keep
ing their children off the streets and
out of the lanes and alleys as many
hours as possible. The hours in the
afternoon in some back alley or on
some side street or in some other
unsupervised place may poison and
destroy the mornings work Of the
'5est teaching of the best teacher and
the best mother in the land. More
over, if the truth must be told, hun
dreds Of children are being better
trained in right and righteousness, in
truthfulness, in obedience, in good
manners, in other civic virtues than
they are being taught in their own
homes, and this statement does not
apply exclusively to what some peo-
pie are pleased to call the lower
classes of society.

INTERESTED IN SCOUTING

At its recent meeting in Chicago, the
National Council of the Boy Scouts of
America expressed by resolution its
appreciation of the fine spirit of the
American Legion in supporting scout
ing. Almost at the same time appeared
an editorial in the American Legion
Councillor, published in Toledo, under
the caption "An Opportunity for
Service" urging local legionnaires TO
interest themselves in scout work and
especially to serve as scoutmasters.
Trained by his army days to caring
for himself in the great outdoors,
schooled in discipline and with proven
patriotism he is eminently fitted to
handle growing boys" comments the
writer. "He comes to them clothed
with the hero's mantle with which
youthful males still invest the warrior.
They know he is a real he-man who
has gone through experiences which
thrill their juvenile souls to contem-
plate and he starts with great ad-
vantage over his less fortunate con
temporary who has missed the great
experience. With these qualifications
and these advantages the legionnaire
who passes up the chance to enter this
fascinating work is doing his city an
Injustice and himself an injury"

SHIP BULLFROGs TO JAPAN
Large Louisiana Product Sent to COL
Iege of Science of Imperial
University at Tokyo.

And now the song and hind iegs of
the lusty-throated Louisiana bullfrog
have been exported to Japan. Soon
the heavy, bass, "belly deep" of the
big swamp batrachfans will be heard
meath the wisteria vines while ''frogs
legs en- casserole" will be listed on
the Japanese menu with tea and rice.
Fifty Of the largest specimens of
Louisiana frogs were shipped to the
College Of Science of the Imperial
university of Tokyo by the Southern
Biological company for breeding pur-
poses. The consignment Is the third
shipment Of frogs to Japan, according
to officials of the state conservation
commission.
The frogs were forwarded in espe.
cially constructed cages and direc-
tions were provided the American
Railway Express company for their
care during the 30-day voyage.
The first shipment of frogs was
made in April, 1913 and many off
springs were raised successfully. Here
tofore frogs used for dietary pur,
poses In Japan have been of a species
similar to the small American spring
frog; and an attempt will be made to
thoroughly establish the large Louis
lana bull or chicken frog, which at,
'tains length of eight inches.

YALE MEN FORM SCOUT CLUB

A group of Yale men, who are for
mer scouts, have recently organized
a scout club. G. Barrett Rich, III,
Of Buffalo, is chairman Of the execu-
tive committee, whose other members
are w. Leming Jelliffe OF New York.
81. Wilder Bentley Of San Francisco
and James r. Dixon, Jr., of Cieve-
land. The main purpose of this and
other such clubs is to provide a means
of continuing interest In scouting
among young men In colleges and uni
yersities so that upon graduation they
may be still actively affiliated with
the movement and ready to make fur
ther contribution of time and effort
to it in whatever communities they
find themselves. Such clubs will also
serve valuable purpose in conserv-
ing scout training already received
and emphasizing those elements Of
character building and good citizen
ship. which are no less essential for
young men than for boys.
Lorne W. Barclay, director of the
national education department, and a
Yale man Of 'OS, was present at the
organization of the club which Is SIM
liar to associations already formed
in English universities, under the lead
ership of Oxford and Cambridge.

THANKsGIyIN' THOUGHTS

Thanksgiving day is the day to go
Te your mother with hair as white as
snow,
And give her hug and a good hard
kiss
And tell her there's nothing SO good
as this;
To poke your feet meath the table
there,
With it's wealth of good things rich
and rare,
With it's turkey mountain of juicy
joy
And the cranberry sauce. You feel
like boy,
And it makes her smile just to see
you eat
And rub your stomach and shuttle
your feet.
Oh, banquet feast for the moneyed
king
And cafes swell for the clubmanfs
fling,
And everyone to his taste-but gee
It's the old home dinner for such as
me.
And the fathers blessing the
mothers smile
That makes Thanksgiving day worth
while.
