deftness Of wetting the -four slowly ad- ding just all the flour will take up without getting too wet to handle or too stfn to be elastic and light? Or that sponge cake depends very much on the oven you have to use and that the pans for sponge cskes should never be greased as the lightness depends on the dough clinsing to the edges of the pan while baking Or that cream puffs must be baked until they will not faI.'

 The efforts for consolidation Of schools and larger modern school buildings zt t5t center for the rural towns reminds me oI small city boy shO usea to enjoy his visits each summer to the country. He use5 Co give his friends this invitation
 "If you want something to eat visit at our house If you like fine dishes. cu. glass and style visit my sister. but you won't find much to eat there"
 ''No, Jim doesn't care. you see. he buys his lunch and dinner down town. Bu- when have home shall have both"
 The fine large school buildings looiS nicer than ~ ohe room country school house. but how much more 5eneft could the child get there
 And some Of the largest are far from comfortable, often overhealed and with | immense windows on one side only of a room, the children sitting gext the win dows getting too much iisht and draft the children farthest ln the dhrk almost 4 ihe day is cloudy.
 50 let's not feel eug1ous of accesso-les out see that we get lhe real beneftsffor the children. Young children are best | taught ln small groups Nand naturally learn most from hearing The talk and reel | tstions Of older ones. FSo a small school with all or several grades in one room if | the natural atmosphere for a young chfiE 10 develop 'n. I think the people of ths | community should take the same intsresf in this schoC! coon that they do in theli | own hOmeE-l IT they club together on fffs labor and expense it is very easy 10 make l the school room dainty with new nafuf and varnish each year and good warn l floors when necessary.
 II the men did all .he teamlnr. work and business now with horses and could l have only unbroken. untrained horses 0 do it with. what would the coalitions be in the streets and roads and helds7 Just 1 n lawlsss. dangerous mix-up. about af people act. Now this Is tuEt about what Is happening in all the schools now Only a few parents give their children any men tai or moral training ani many do not even give them good physical care as fhs
 many diseased and underweiFht sch0oi !
 for service and the work Of school nurses
 have exposed the physical neglect nf
 parents. The juvenile courts eNDose the
 lack of legal and moral teaching In the
 home.
 It Is what hspens to the child befor
 school age that decides his welfare. and
 he must have the foundation of educa-
 ton so that the teacher has something tl 1 build u7on when the child is of school
 age If the child has not had moral | training from his bir1h there is no foun- ' dation of character for the teacher to ap- [ peal to.
 You might as well talk to the untrainei
 horse as to try to make an impression on
 these neglected and morally stunted
 children.
 A child rightly started in inc beginuir 3
 and prepared to take up school work vii
 make little trouble for the teacher. < The well trained horse does his Torh safely and well
