A very surprising trick is accom-
plished with the aid Of small box
which the performer says contains a
wax. finger or a preserved finger. The
lid Is removed from the box and the
finger is shown lying on cotton. Sud-
denly the finger moves in a very lively
fashion and creates much excitement
among the observers.
The finger is really the performer 3
own. a hole is previously made In thG
bottom Of the box, and the second finger
is pushed through CFig. y. A little
dab Of powder, or rouge. gives the
finger remarkably waxlike appear
ance (Fig. -. The performer Is, tc
all appearances merely holding the box
IN his hand. But, when the lid Is re-
poysd. the fun begins.

ENERY man should desire to be ad.
~ vertised. II he does not desire 70
be advertised-to have his qualities
known to his fellowmen-there is some
thing wrong with him.
IL he does not want his business
advertised there Is something wrong
with his business.
As matter of fact every honest
man wants his fellow citizens to know
that he Is honest.
Every man who has honest goods n
sell wants his fellowmen to know tbot
his goods are honest.
For II he is honest he will be 20 =.

THE man who understands adyer.
L tising merely understands the ART n,
making his merits or the merits nj
what he has to sell known to the world
He must stand or fall BY what he
sells. No business firm can long con !.
tinue a policy Of wide advertising un .
less the advertising tells the truth.
Truth will bear the light. Men wbo
have only falsehood to tell about Them ~
selves or their wares had better NOT

HOW OUR LIBRARY
HELPS THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Supt. Hitchcock Tells How
How Athenaeum Helps
Teachers and Pupils

In behalf Of the teachers ard
wish TO express through your col
umns our appreciation OF such
an institution as the Athenaeum.
No matter how often the pupils in
wade the library they are always
met with the same spirit Of help
fitness and good will.
The value of this institution to
the schools is immeasurab BILE. We
must teach the child from the be-
ginning to have desire for read
ing. What shall it profit US if we
are successful in creating this
desire if there are no fountains
to which he NAV Uo to nuench this
thirst for reading material! Again
we must find out each child's in
terest and arouse this interest to
action. For instance a few days
ago | listened to a teacher discus
sing with her pupils this problem,
Are we more dependent upon
South America than South Amer
lea is upon u.s." One boy told of
u.s." One boy Immediately told Of
a story he had recently read upon
the wonders of the Upper ANA
Zon. Another pupil had recently
read story about production o.
rubber and was able to trace the
rubber from the time il was gait
hered from the tree until it was
in the shape of an automobile the.
However closely these stories boyr
upon the topic under discussion
the proved that these pupils were
reading good books at home. |
immediately asked how many in
the room had read more than one
book from the Athenaeum this
school vear and out of the class
of thirty-siX al hands went up
but four.
At a teachers meeting early in
the fall we decided to encourage
the pupils in outside reading and
to ask the pupils 10 report in class
upon books they had read. The
result was very gratifying. Brief
book reports were given in class
with great delight. One teacher
has told me that a certain report
given by the pupil resulted in tina.
anne book being read by seven
other pupils in the room.
One rural school teacher has
very succesSfull-- instilled into her
pupils a desire for books. These
boys and girls always get a book
when they come to town and when
they cannot come themselves they
send for some by the teacher.
About a year ago a certain fam
ily moved into st. Johnsbury and
a boy from this family entered
the Junior high school. His sec
ord day in school he asked me for
card recommending him as Il
person deserving the privileges, of
the library. Since that time This
boy has read many books in cleo
tricity, aviation, etc.
This winter many teachers eX-
pressed a desire to take 2 Univer-
sit Extension course. The course
was arranged and then came the
question of reference material.
After a single interview with the
librarian a table was brought out,
and over twenty volumes wero
placed upon it for the use of the
extension class.
Is education worth havino? Then
the Athenaeum is worth all we
can do for it.
