Methods of Chevy Chase Day
School Outlined BY Or.
StanWood Cobb

In this day of specialization It
is no matter for wonder that our
schools, both public and private.
are laying particular stress on the
individual needs of students, and
developing atmospheres which slim
ulate a natural desire for knowl-
edge.
This can only be accomplished
by methods recognizing vast diff
ferences in child's temperament,
inclinations and individual re-
actions. Every child is an entity
with a soul and mind OF its own.
One can only learn when interest
Is stimulated by desire.
Interest can never be aroused by
antiquated dogmatic means.
The Chevy Chase Country Day
School is most conspicuous in
recognizing these facts. 1t is in
teresting to parents as we'll as

We believe Washington is the

United States, for here is located
the seat Of the Federal Govern

tific literature. the Army Medical
Museum and it's medical school,
the Bureau of Animal Industry
with it's experimental farms, ana
allied branches, and the Hygiene
Laboratories where the Nations

Washington is a city of recog.

but feel the uplifting influences
Of his surroundings. The govern
mental bureaus, laboratories ana
Libraries are a constant source OF
information which are always open
to the inquiring student and no
where in the United States will
there be found as many organized
aids to the study of veterinary
science as in Washington.
When education is taken into
consideration, an environment
should be selected which is con-
genial to the student. and we be

well, from this course, by cor
respondence, as you would by en-
gaging private tutor.
Our system Of instruction teaches
you to make pictures of things
you have in mind, and of things
you see; it teaches you to be
original in your work, and to
adapt and develop initiative.
You are taught to discriminate;
to see things as they are and to
draw objects as they exist. Thus,
after the first few lessons you
will find yourself an originator,
developing your own peculiar talent,
and you will make pictures that
you can really and proudly call
your own.

ENGLAND HAS "RAT WEEK"
pie on Rodents Estimated
at 10000, 900.

The English people seem to be tax
ing leaf from our American book. OF
recent years Americans have been
rallied to devote a special week" to
all sorts of enterprises, from swat
ting the fly" to raising money for city
hospitals.
This seven-day period In England Is
to be devoted by the whole population,
If they obey their department of agri-
culture, to a concerted mortal attack
upon the rats of old England, which
now number 100000, according to
recent investigation, which is about
equal to the human population. They
destroy f15,OOO,OO0 annually in food
stuffs and do uncounted damage In
other ways.
More power to the English elbow in
this work Here In the United States
we have had local attempts at rat ex-
termination, particularly along the sea
coast. At one time apprehension of
bubonic plague, which ship rats may
carry, led to an activity of consider
able extent in lethal fumigation of
ships
The money damage by rats here is
no less than In England, and it is the
part of plain common sense to make
warfare upon the
lives of these wholly destructive crea-
lures, which, as disease carriers. are
clearly forfeit to human comfort and |
and whose hides have a |
commercial value. 1t is quite likely |
that the incalculable danger and nui-
sance of the rats on ships have led to
the present drive" against them In
whose shipping is its greatest
commercial treasure.-New York Sun

How to Lengthen Life
of Your B Batteries

The amount Of service you will OBJ
tain from a B battery depends to Z
great extent on the care you give 1t
The following pointers will assist In
securing the maximum number Of
hours Of useful life from the battery:
Do not subject your B battery to
high temperatures. Handle 1t care
fully. You may ruin your B battery
by dropping it on the floor, as this
may break some Of the internal con-
nections.
Do not short circuit your battery,
even momentarily. A short circuit Of
only a few moments duration will
drain a considerable proportion of the
total energy out Of the B battery. For
this reason II you wisk to test the
battery use a high-grads voltmeter,
and never an ammeter. Volunteers
are high resistance instruments, and
give a good indication Of the condi-
ton Of the battery without drawing
excessive currents from It Ammeters
are low resistance instruments, and
when placed across the terminals Of
the battery practically short-circuit II.

direction that you wish to receive from

I gradually undermined her natural
trustfulness.
In the heat Of passion she wrote de-
handing an explanation of his conduct
with woman so lost to all sense Of
propriety as to make a display Of her
love for him. Stella mailed the letter
for her and she went to bed In q
| darkened room.
The next morning Doctor Carter
found the letter awaiting him. How
sweet of Eunice to think Of having q
note there the minute he arrived
Then-his spirits sank He dropped
into a seat and stared blankly ahead.
He re-read the letter and tore 1t into
bits. He did not answer It.
Hopefully Eunice waited to hear
from him. The postman's ring made
her heart beat near to smothering her.
Then Stella's look Of plying UNDER
standing stabbed her as though needles
had been driven into her heart.
Several days had elapsed and then
the morning paper published the fol-
lowing:
"Dr. Vincent Carter. brilliant young
surgeon Of Omaha, assists the famous
French surgeon, DR.. Henri La
Chapelle, in operating on Miss Frances
Bowen, the young heiress Of the
Bowen millions Miss Bowen had suf-
fered from hip disease ever since baby
hood and the great surgeon came to
Chicago expressly to perform this
most delicate operation. Doctor Car
ter had studied with Doctor La
Chapelle six years ago in Paris and
had assisted him In operations Of a
similar nature. Doctor La Chapelle
had asked to have the young surgeon
assist him, but the Bowens did not
know where to find him.
1.-THE strange part Of the story Is
that Miss Evelyn Saxton, Mrs. Bowen's
sister, who Is the f1ancee Of James
Rogers, famous football star, and who
had been up In the mountains, was on
her way to Chicago. Spending a few
hours In the Faxon hotel while wait
ing for her train, she found Doctor
Carter, whom she had met a number |
Of times at some of the hops of the !
University Of Chicago. She told him |
of the family's search for him. Doctor
Carter Immediately telegraphed Doc
tor La Chapelle and left the next day. !
''The operation has proved success |
full, and Doctor La Chapelle has been |
persuaded to perform his wonderful
operation in several Of the large cities
of the United States. Doctor Carter
will be his assistant"
The sisters looked dazedly at each
other.
"Oh, Eunice, I'm so sorry. It's all
my fault. see now that was jeal-
Gus. 1 had been comparing Rufus with
the doctor, and 1 said a lot of bitter
things. Write and ex-
plain. dear"
ITS too late. You see, he is big
and am small-pitifully small"
Stella, all remorse, went out to q
public telephone and got the doctor on
he wire. She explained and took all
he blame.
"I'll telephone Eunice at once" he
said.
When Stella arrived home she found
5unice at the telephone.
Gan you forgive me?" asked Eunice
# her delighted flance.
Eyes. dear, yes. It's all forgotten,
90. We can be married right away,
md you can go with me on my trip
With Doctor La Chapelle."
