Interest in Schools
Highest Ciuic Virtue

1t is estimated in the bureau of edu-
cation, Department of the Interior,
that there are approximately 12,000,.
600 children enrolled in the different
types of rural schools in the United
States. About nine million of these
children come from farm homes. The
others live chiefly in small villages,
but are part OF the farm population
To provide the best modern educa-
tiOnal advantages for these children is
a cause worthy of generous sacrifice
if that sacrifice Is necessary. The
money that we pay In taxes for the
education of our children is our very
best investment, provided that we are
wise enough to insure that it is well
spent. How can we do this? General.
ly, so far as the ordinary farm citizen
is concerned-the man in the road,
TO paraphraSe a popular expression
by showing an intelligent interest in
the school all the year round. Not
spasmodically, but constantly. Is
there board member to be selected?
Then go to the voting place and help
Select tne~beSt person for the JOD. Is
a new schoolhouse, or are repairs for
an old one needed? Then do your
part to insure that the building is the
best the community can afford Is
teacher to be employed? Do all you
can to see that the school board men,
bers are encouraged to get the best
teacher available. Raise the salary if
necessary, but dc not be satisfied with
a cheap teacher The board will fol-
low the sentiment of the community
in regard to the qualifications and sal
airy of the teacher.
Do your part in creating a commu-
nifty sentiment favorable to a good
school. The citizens of the community
are responsible for the quality of the
farmers schOol-not just the members
of the school board.

ALICE ALLIGATOR TALKS

MY dear Agnes Alligator" said
Alice Alligator, men and women and
boys and girls fatter themselves,
they do"
'Do they, indeed?" asked Agnes
Alligator, as she swan about the big
tank.
Yes, they do, indeed" said Alice
'and l know, for l heard them talk
the other day when they came to the
ZOO
They knew that we hadn't nice dis
positions, all right
"That was correct.
"They knew that the only reason we
put up with the keeper was because
he gave US food.
They knew that we didn't care for
him in the least and that we would
never allow ourselves to become pets
no, not in thousand years
but they thought that we always
wanted to grab one of them when
ever we could, whether we were free
or not"
''Did they not know we were
frightened of them?" asked Agnes
Alligator.
NO said Alice, "and so l say they
f1attered Themselves
They seemed to think that we
wanted to eat them whenever we
could, and you and l and all alligators
know that we will run for the water
If we're on the land in our free state
when we see groWn-ups or children.
They didn't know that we were
wild and angry with them only when
they bothered us and that then we
put up terrible fight with our
strong jaws and tails.
1--WE can knock them down with our
tails if they get near us, and we can't
do so much with our fat necks.
"Our necks aren't so easy to turn
around as one might think"
"The way you talk about necks,"
said Agnes, zone would think that
necks were on wheels and some turned
more easily than others"
''You know what I mean," grinned
Alice
''But the very idea of people think
ing we would always go for them
when we like fish and birds and little
animals and insects for our food.
'If they fed US something we might
bite off an arm in our hurry to get
at the food
"But they shouldn't fatter them
selves that we want to eat them

Why the Golden Age
Is Never the Present

Dean William Ralph Inge, the most
recent English visitor to look us over
and tell US what he thinks of us,
speaks about the increasing stupidity
Of modern life" 1t would be interest
ing to learn just how such a thing
can be judged. Did our forebears
make no mistakes? Was life in the
past, even few years ago, less dull
than it is now? Are there good signs
showing that human beings are act
ing more like geese than they used to?
It is a common habit to clothe the
years that are gone with bright and
shining garments. The golden age is
never the present one and it will not
come in the future. 1t has always
been in the past. This is why regrets
will be expressed until the crack of
doom that people and life are not as
they were once, even though there be
100000 evidences of betterment.-

Why We Should Walk More

DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard, at Boston
luncheon to promote interest in con-
servation and protection of scenery,
historical sites, wild life, forests and
public reservations, declared the hab-
it of walking is being lost or largely
diminished today and urged that more
people frequent the parks and public
reservations. says the New York Her
ald-Tribune. Of survey made Of
traffic passing his home on Brattle
street, Cambridge, for periods of Is
minutes at four busiest times Of the
day, he read figures showing a total
of 440 pleasure vehicles, 40 trucks
and delivery wagons, motor cycles
and SO pedestrians.

New Jerseys Plan to
Preserve Shade Trees

The New Jersey state highway com
mission, which is constructing and i'm
proving a vast network of roads all
over that state, has just adopted a rule
which is heartily to be commended for
imitation by road builders everywhere.
That is, that for every shade tree by
the roadside which it Is compelled to
destroy, it will set out two new ones.
This will check a great evil, and eff
feet considerable positive good. In
the last few years thousands of fine
shade trees have been destroyed along
the roads of that state, some by the
state and some by local authorities.
Roads have been improved, so far as
the pavement is concerned. But they
have been damaged, so far as comfort
and appearance are concerned, by be-
ing denuded Of trees. In some cases
this was inevitable where it was nee
essary for safety or convenience to
widen the roads, or to eliminate dan
gerous curves. In others, probably in
half the cases, it was entirely needless
and WantOn.
Under the new rule it is obvious that
greater care and discrimination will
be exercised, so as to destroy no trees
which can possibly be preserved. When
any must be removed, they will be
doubly replaced, so that roads will
actually have more trees than before.

They Would Comfort Themselves by a
Little Nap.

and they should not be so conceited
about nothing at all.
"But one thing makes me particu-
larly angry about people-and that is
that some of them hunt for US down
South for no reason at all except to
be mean, and they think they're hav-
ing fun getting dumb creatures to be
their prey.
"That seems the worst thing about
ito call it fun. That seems ter
rible'
"Oh, that makes me so angry too"
said Agnes "Tm really quite glad I'm
in the ZOO.
"Of course we're cranky and we
don't care about anyone and we're not
friendly and we are greedy, and many
Of our ways are hard-hearted, if one
can speak of alligator ways in that
fashion.
"But that is no reason for making
sport of US. People don't show us
they're so fire when they do such
things"
They decided then that they would
comfort themselves by q little nap,
while Charlie Crocodile from his tank
nearby was saying:
Eyes, as I've said before I'm a con-
tented crocodile, but 1 would not be
contented as a cow is contented.
ga COW is contented chewing her
cud all day, but I am contented be-
cause I can be fierce and angry and
powerful whenever there is any need
of it,"
So contented Charlie Crocodile and
his brother and family swan around
happily with their fiat tails helping
them along, while the Alligators slept
and had a peaceful rest.

Painting Preserves the Life
of Wood

Unpainted wood surfaces absorb
grease and dirt more readily, are more
likely to stain, and are harder TO keep
clean than those in which the pores
Of the wood are filed with varrish,
oil, paint, or other finish. In general
a house should contain as few untin-
ished wood surfaces as possible. In
one kitchen, for example, labor may
be saved by finishing or covering the
floor. by covering the table with oil
cloth, linoleum or zinc, and by paint
ing or vanishing the rest of the fur
niture.
Unfinished wood surfaces may be
scrubbed with the grain of the wood,
using small quantities Of water and
mild soap, rinsed with a cloth wrung
out of clean water, and wiped dry.
Strong soaps, alkalis and too much
water darken wood and may soften 1t.
If the dirt cannot be removed with
soap and water, a scourer, such as
fine steel wool or powdered pumice,
may be used Unfinished wood can be
bleached with oxalic acid solution,
which is poisonous. The wood should
be covered thinly with the solution,
allowed to dry, and then thoroughly
washed until all traces of the acid
are removed. If grease Is spilled on
unfinished wood cold water should be
applied at once, if possible, in order
to harden the grease and prevent it's
spreading, then as much grease as pos
sible should be scraped off with
knife, and the SPOT scrubbed with a
washing soda or lye solution.
If the spot appears dark, paste
made of fuller's earth and water
should be spread over it and allowed
to remain overnight.
Oiled floors should be swept with
soft brush and busted with a dry or
oiled mop. Occasionally they may be
washed and afterward wiped with an
oily cloth. Water should be used
sparingly, and care should be taken to
rub the oil in well and not to use so
much that a surplus is left on the sur
face to hold dust and be tracked onto
rugs.
