plications for licenses to teach under the present
system are not qualified for the profession and
should be barred.
Gov. McCray is acting on the theory that If
a teacher proposes to teach the subjects of the
lower grades, she would be thoroughly trained
in methods of accomplishing that end and should
not be wasting the states money and her own
time acquiring learning that has no specific
value in the particular work she will perform in
the school system.
Most citizens will agree with the governors
view, which seems to be corroborated by the
statement of the director Of education in Ohio
Teachers of the rural schools should be as eff
cient as those in the cities. Their training IN
the normal schools should fit them for their
tasks so that the boys and girls who are under
their tutelage will not be made to suffer from
the poor groundwork which the teachers lay in
the early years of their schooling. If the work
of teaching the rudiments is bungled by innefi-
Gent teachers, the boys and girls will suffer
throughout life. And this becomes all the more
important when one remembers that the vast
per centage of boys and girls do not have an op-
portunity to attend college. The standard of the
grade and high schools should be maintained at
the highest notch, but this can be done only if
the teachers are carefully trained for the work
which they are to perform.

right; if you'd build yourself a home.
if you'd write a noble poem, if you'd
punch your neighbours dome, do it

@. Who originated the term dark
horse?" c. D. E.
A. This has been attributed to Sam
Flynn, a horse trader of Tennessee.
His horse "Dusky Pete" was quietly
entered in a country race meet, and
unexpectedly won the purse.
@. How much glass is used in the
manufacture of automobiles? P. F.
A. There was 1890 square feet of
glass consumed in 1921 in the manu-
facture of passenger cars and trucks.
The greater part of this was plate

@. Please describe the condition Of
corn when it is ready to be cut for the
silo? C. c. A.
A The department of agriculture
says that when corn is ready to be
cut for ensilage the lower leaves will
be dead, some of the husks will have
turned brown, and the ears will be
hard, but the stalks and upper leaves
of the plants will still be green and
succulent.
r Q. How is the hydrogen gas used
in airships stored? F. T.
A The Air Service says that the
following three methods are used in
storing hydrogen gas after generation:
First, storage in a gas holder fabric
or metaD at pressure of from one
to nine pounds greater than atmos-
pheric pressure; second, storage in
medium-pressure tanks at 800 to 600
pounds per square inch pressure;
third, storage in portable cylinders at
from 1900 to 1000 pounds per square

A Free Booklet On
Fire Prevention For
School Children

There will be 1900 fires in the
United States today. There were that
many every day last year, and there
will be that many every day this year,
and every day next year-unless
people are more careful.
A fire due to carelessness breaks out
in this country oftener than once
minute, day and night, the year round.
These fires cost the American people
each year more than the value of all
the land and Improvements in the
state of North Carolina, or Maine, or
Louisiana.
Ordinary care would prevent nearly
every one of these fires.
The National Board of Fire Under
writer's has compiled fire prevention
manual for the school children of
America showing the common causes
of fire in the home and simple meth
DDS of prevention.
The information in this splendid
booklet is valuable alike to children
and grown persons. There are "a
pages of text and 80 marginal illus
trations. The value is enhanced by
the addition of hints on rendering first
aid in all cases of scalds, burns, smoke
or gas suffocation, as prepared by the
American Red Cross.
