on the tongues of their children when
they tell stories which can do no harm to
any one.
Teachers of primary grades and all
grades for chat matter, should visit the
homes and find out the child's environ
ment Chere. When we asked the child
ren of Porto Rico what story they liked
to have US tell them ore little boy always
called out "Yo quiere ell hOmbra de PAN,
he meant the story Of the Ginger Bread
Man, and | asked his mother why it is
ne always asked for that story she said,
We'll. he is always hungry and | sup
pose the little story of bread is a bit sat
Isfying," Thus, a good many times we
find out what we can do to help in the
lives lof children through their express
sions if they feel free to tell US what
they would like, and we could lead them
in many ways through expressions they
would help to work out.
What teacher of US has not felt asham-
ed for crushing the originality of some
child by e|xaltlng our own authority and
superiority? A little boy said very en-
Enthusiastically to his teacher one day:
"I'Ve got all my arithmetic examples
done ia a different way from what you
told US, sand it is a quicker way, too.
anu TIE LEdCIGl odlQ. lUu lllIuh yUQ &c
smart, don't you? Tear up that paper
and DO it the way / taught you"
The children Of the third grade were
writing a composition on Lincoln, and
when the teacher came around to gather
up The papers a child said, with beaming
lace, Il thought Lincoln should have a
flag on his paper so | drew one there"
And the teacher said. Did | tell you
to?' And happiness died out of the
child's lace and he said, No Miss
Gray" She said, You may copy it three
times after 400 o'clock, and next time in
my room do things the way / told you"
And the very next time those children
had any ideas that were original they
were suppressed. Deliberate disobedi
ence is one thing and should be punished,
but when a child wishes to plan things
he should be commended, and if he can
he should be encouraged to do old things
in a new and better way, and some day
he will rise TO prominence in a place of
self respect in this community.
As teachers it IS our duty to lead, but
we must also follow the child. The
Greatest Of all Teachers set a child in the
midst as an object lesson to his disciples.
|, is a rare privilege to follow the work
ings OF a chIld's mind through these form
atve years and 20 explore with sympa
tnetic interest the Child nature, thus
leading to ideal W0manhoOd and man
hood.

Dublin, Nov. 2Otb.-The bye-elections

what keeps US all from actually revert,

WOULD ADD MONTH
TO PRESENT YEAR
Suggestion Made for Re-
form of the Calendar.

During the past two years belief In
the desirability of simplifying the
present calendar has progressed to
bring about an international congress
to consider the best way to do this.
Prof. G. f. Marvin, chief of the
weather bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture, Is great
ly interested in this movement and ad-
vocates that form of simplification
which would result in a year based on
our present seven-day week as a unit.
The year would consist of 13 months
of % days or exactly four weeks each,
and an extra day. The suggestion ia
vored by Doctor Marvin is that this
365th or extra day be given a special
name, such as New Years Eve" or
other equivalent designation, made a
worldwide holiday and placed be-
tween December % and January 1.
The extra month, for which n new
name must also be invented, would
be least likely to upset our present
way Of calculating, If introduced In
midsummer, between June and July.
Leap year day." by whatever name
it may be known, would be accept
able as a midsummer holiday every
four years. A slight change in the
system of establishing century leap
years is also recommended.
The division of the year into
months, which are exact multiples of
seven-day week without a fractional
remainder, will greatly simplify the
assembling of meteorological data, ac
counting and paying in business and
industry generally, computing interest,
and making many financial and other
reckonings based on the calendar.
Business men are in favor of an exact
number of weeks in a quarter, and
school terms and recesses could be
arranged with much less disturbance
to the curriculum than at present.
1t is believed that there will be no
insuperable difficulty in arranging a
consideration of the matter by repre-
sentatives of the Roman, Anglican
and Greek and other churches, and
leading astronomers, II an interna-
tional congress or council is called,
either through the League of Nations
or some independent nation, such as
Switzerland or the United States. If
such congress succeeds in taking
action before 1928, the nearest year
in which January 1 falls on Sun
day under our present system, the
change can be instituted without in
convenience.

SUeetness From Trees

1t has just been announced that the
existence in British Columbia of sugar
bearing fir trees has now been scien-
tifically established, observes London
Tit-Bits.
The presence of these trees in that
province has for some time been the
subject of more than mere conjecture.
Two or three years ago it was stated
that an American botanist had made
exhaustive investigations in the
Thompson river valley, and that he
had all but satisfied himself that the
Douglas fir tree in that locality yields
a whitish sugarlike substance in con-
siderable quantities.
Recently settler noticed a similar
substance lying on some ground he
had just bought. At first he was un-
able to account for its presence there
then he noticed that 1t invariably ap-
peared after rain, and the fact caused
him to transfer his attention to some
trees that grew near by. The trees
were specimens of the Douglas fir, and
the tops of the branches, he was sur
prised to find, were laden with SUBJ
stance which, on being washed off by
showers, crystallized like sugar on the
ground. The settler then discovered
that the Indians had long used the sub
stance for sweetening purposes.

Nc.u X-Ray Safety Tube

The new X-ray tube invented by the
famous electrical works of Eindhoven,
where over 1000 men are engaged in
the manufacture of electrical instru-
ments, has just been completed, and
numbers are arriving in London from
Holland.
It Is a wonderful tube, because 1t
throws out beam Of X-rays in the
manner of little searchlight which
can be directed on any given spot, so
that no more fear of the dangerous
burns produced by stray rays need be
felt.
The tube is so simple that 1t can be
held in the hand, and the beam of rays
can be so finely regulated that abso-
lutte uniformity Of work is assured.
1t marks step forward of enor-
nous Importance in the history of
X-rays.
