AN EXPLANATION

The Primary Teachers Of the Flat
River schools wish to correct state
ments made by Superintendent Johns.
of the Pennington schools, in regard
to the spelling contest as conducted
in the primary department.
Every teacher present can testify to
the following statements being true.
Mr.. Johns asserts: each teacher was
not allowed the privilege Of marking
out Objectionable words" The same
rule for selecting and eliminating
words was followed in the primary
department that was used throughout
the grades. After list of twenty
five words had been chosen, a Farm
ington teacher objected to nine words.
She found that five Of them had been
dropped She was given the privilege
of eliminating the other four. How
ever, as some words seemed to be ap-
proved by all other teachers present.
vote was taken on the words and if
the majority approved, the word was
left on the list.
There was some discussion of the
word pretty" The lady in charge
did not promptly decide on the word,
but vote of eight for and four
against it was taken. One of the two
pupils belonging to the lady in charge
missed the word. Pennington was
represented bv eight pupils from two
rooms; Flat River by six from three
rooms, in three buildings, each hav-
ing an average of fifty pupils TIVE
Flat River pupils. under two different
teachers, spelled pretty correctly.
Five pupils, representing four
schools, made grade of 100 per cent
on the first list, The winner was Sc
lected from the five on list of words
not containing the word "pretty.'
There was not complaint reaching
the ears of the Flat River teachers
from any teacher present, excepting
the lady from Pennington.
"Pretty" is not phonetic word.
There was no attempt made to select
phonetic words. Most teachers chose
words from the child's vocabulary,
and "nretty" is certainly not obiec-
tionable as such word. Babies lisp
it. 1t is easily taught as a sight
word, and is not difficult to spell.
Mr.. Johns admitted seven out of
/ thirteen had taught it. The vote in
the room showed eight out of twelve.

BY far the largest part Of the sum
mer loss isg found In fertile eggs.
Marketing conditions in Missouri are
such that considerable time is re-
quired to get the egg from nestle cold
storage plant. It is during this inter
val that the loss occurs. Al fertile
egg will incubate at any temperature
above 68 degrees; and one held at 30
to- 80 degrees for three days will show
as much chick development as for one
day under u setting hen, while one
held at 1914 to 10 degrees for one day
will show as much chick growth as
for three days under ahen. ~
The rooster is responsible for most

" unnecessary. He eats high
priced feed during the summer and
lowers the quality of the eggs, With
out producing any benefit. The male
has no beneficial influence whatever
on egg production. The only cause
for his existence is to fertilize eggs
for Matching. 1t costs as much to feed
rooster as hen, and the male pays
no returns whatever during the
Matching season.
To kill, sell or confine all roosters
as soon as the breeding season is
past, is the greatest move toward saw
ing the summer egg. All ROSTERS
which are not to be used another sea-
son, should be sold or killed. Those
valuable enough to. serve for the next
breeding season, may be confined in
a small yard, without any harm. This
should be done on most farms by May

week of June,

HOME DEMONSTRATION NOTES
Leaders Give Instructions in Home
Care of the Sick.

Care of the Sick.
Mrs. John Haynes and Miss Blanche
Pinkston, of the Oak Grove commun-
ity, conducted q one-day health school
last Wednesday, at the home of the
Stevenson sisters. The subject dis
cussed was Home Care of the Sick.
Mrs. Haynes and Miss Pinkston re-
ceived their instructions from Mrs.
Sadie Hausmann, health specialist
of the University Extension Service
These leaders are asked in return for
this instruction, to teach at least SIX
other women as nearly as possible the
things which Mrs. Hausmann taught
them.
Nineteen women Of the Oak Grove
community came to the meeting We'd
nesday for these instructions. They
were shown by the leaders the max
ing of hospital bed without a pa
tient occupying it, and also with a
patient. After the leaders had done
this, the women worked in pairs and
vent through the whole procedure
themselves, so they will know just
how to go at it in case they have to
prepare bed for patient. Besides
this, Mrs. Haynes and Miss Pinkston
told them about the bathing of pa
tient, use of the clinical thermometer,
use of canned heat in preparing
quick, hot dishes for a sick person
and the preparation Of trays. The
women we're all interested and very
glad to be able to get such clear and
helpful instructions in the Home Care
of the Sick.

paste these rules on the hen house

Here are seven rules suggested by
the Missouri College of Agriculture
that will increase the profits from the
summer flock: s
Produce infertile eggs by removing
the ROSTERS from the flock in the
summer time.
Provide clean nests and keep eggs
clean.
Do NOT wash eggs.
Gather eggs twice daily during the
summer to prevent them from being
heated by the hen.
Keen them in a cool dry place, away
from the flies.
Market them at least twice each
week.
Insist that they be bought on a
quality, graded basis.
