THE WILD LIFE


Secretary Slack of the Sons Of
Temperance said in a temperance
address in Boston:
'some Of the people who plead
for relaxation of the eighteenth
amendment remind me of the show
girl.
"a show girl sat in fashion
able restaurant, cycling herself in q
tiny gold mirror and applying q
rouge stick to her lips when young
divine from her home town came up
and greeted her.
Divine and show girl talked Of
old times while, then the divine
said rather reproachfully:
"sNOne of this unwholesome,
shut-in city life for me. Fer me .
wild, open-air life.'
THAT'S just how feel, too said
the show girl. Night after night in
the summer l just live on the roof
gardens. Amt it too bad they have
to close up in cold weather p DE

LET HIM TAKE THE PoRkER
Why Arkansas Man Feels That He
Can Have Mo More cenfdenes
.s in Friends.

At a Red Cross hog sale held
down in Arkansas, generously dis
posed people donated porkers for the
occasion. Pink Jackson brought
along his favorite pig, and remarked
to Green Reeves, man of jokes, that
his swine must bring at least $40.
Otherwise he would take it home.
Green agreed to bid up and see that
the animal brought the required
amount.
Accordingly, when the, animal was
put on the block, Jackson bid first,
offering So; Reeves raised it to IS,
and then in turn Jackson to 81,
Reeves to So and Jackson to So, and
finally Reeves to $3.50. Jackson,
knowing that the 50-cent bid was
Reeves limit, said, "Let him have
the Pig" Reeves nearly fell into
faint, but came across all right re-
marking as he took the pig:

TOWNS WITH SAME NAME

There are II towns in Germany
named Michelbach and II places
listed in the postal directory as Neu-
stadt. Nor is France much better
off in this respect. The field clerk
Of the A. E. F. used to wonder whv
he had to write, for example, Chatii-
lon-sur-seine. 1t was because there
are 20 Chstillons in France which
are not on the Seine.

At hip tea party the other night
some bibulous person suddenly gave
birth to a ponderous query. He sud-
denly realized that he had never

makes. No one present was able to
shed any light, SO the head keeper Of
the Bronx zoo was phoned. "Par-

cause they are prevented by enforced

which they are compelled To use. or by
the fact that. after all. they find the
conventional course of study best suit

Another problem To be discussed
Is that of the proper time TO begin
the reading of Latin authors. The
problem is somewhat different from
that found in the study of modern
languages, for the Romans wrote nc

in French and Spanish. The Roman
boy learned To read the laws. and Yer

postpone their attacks upon Latin
authors until they have mastered al

IN the cultivation of The mind along
higher channels. such as rs provided
in Latin.
In speaking OF the topic DR. Bur
chcu says: Teachers OF Latin are
not left free TO lead their classes along
as they choose. They may not follow
their incl!p3tions In teaching only
such grammatical points as appeal 10
them, or In reading only such authors
as suit their personal taste. or the taste

distractions differ in different To-
calitler and have their origin in differ
ent sources. In general these are:

nations Tor scholarships; courses Of
study. prescribed by state. or local
authorities; textbooks adopted by state
or by local boards. and so forced upon
the Individual teacher and school.
Needless 10 say. all these restric-

question is. do the teachers OF Latin
