SECRETS OF

school.
OF course just now in the sum-

not in session, children learn
what they do learn largely in
the open.
Camps, the fields and the
woods are the ideal schools"
for summer, whether teaching"
is done in them or not.
In a recent trip around the
world, / found the open air
school the only ones employed by
the native populations, especially
the Hindoos and Mohammedans,

tropical countries.

Europe and America l have found

children. But If they are good
for the near-ill why are they lot
best to keep well children from

being done most successfully in
some American cities as, for
example, the celebrated Lotspeich
schools in Cincinnati.

The children are selected by
the medical officer of the anti
tuberculosis visitors. Unless con-
ditions at home were bettered
most Of the value of the school
would be thrown away.
The curriculum of work is
identical with that of other ma
tional schools, but apart from
their lessons the children get rest
and exercise in the open air,
light baths and douches. They
attend for at least a year, and
are followed up every year to
investigate the results. The

Although the Dutch climate is
not nearly so stable as that of the
United States, it is found that
nearly 80 per cent of the lessons
can be given in the open air.
The immediate results are very
encouraging. The children rapid
ly gain in weight, their complex
ions and the quality of their

Cooling Thoughts for q Hot Day
MY DAUGHTER. now cometh
1V1 the season when the sun
shineth down upon the nose and
the asphalt melteth beneath the
feet; the locust singeth within the
tree. and the marcel wave lieth
flat upon the forehead.
But the hearts that were
aflame with ardour in the spring
have begun to cool; and the ro-
mances that blossomed with the
June roses are feeling their first
touch of frost.
Go to. Ice cream may cool the
palate and iced drinks may quench
the thirst, but what is COLDER
than the thirty-third kiss of a
pair of summer lovers?
Electric fans may soothe the
brow. but their breezes are tepid
beside the frigidity of a damsers
smile, when last weeks flame"
cutteth in upon her dance with
this weeks sheik; or when yester-
days charmer seeketh to join in
the moonlight stroll with today's
new fancy.
The waves of the ocean may be
refreshing to the parched skin.

mobile salesman's love. after thou

What Is icier than the eve Of 4
magistrate, when he hearkeneth
unto the glowing explanations"
of a joy-rider upon the morning
after?"
Or than the cordiality Of a sum-
ner hostess, when the unexpected
weekend guest arriveth?
What il more frigid than the
parting kiss Of two damsels, who
have struggled all summer over
the same man?
Or than the glance OF a wife,
when she perceiveth her husband
teaching the beach beauty to
swim, or sitting more near to the
piazza vamp?
Behold, the summer resort lie
place where GOODNESS abound
eth; but not all of it is confined
to the hotel soup!
Neither Is all of 1t to be found
in the hearts of the bridge players
who have fought the eternal fight

Work among the aborigines in the
 wilds of the South American interior was explained to members and friends Of the Peoples Church of
 Christ last evening by Rev. l.. l.. Legter. He is field secretary of the Pioneer Missions agency and the address marked the opening of the semi-annual conference of the Cos pei Missionary society.
 The subject of Mr. Logtcrs talk was "The Wild Indians of South America" He pictured in graphic manner the dangers and privations suffered by missionaries who pcnc- trate into the interior of the South American continent. He and his party have gone farther into the country than the Roosevelt expedi- ton did and came in contact with many Indian tribes which had little if any previous contact with white men. He exhibited pictures of scenes taken in the interior beyond where white men had previously penetrated.
 The meeting opened with music by A. NJ. Emerson's string orchestra and the mons chorus from the Danish Norwegian church of New Haven.
 This morning an address was given by Rev. Max I. Reich, Hebrew Christian Bible teacher and confer encc worker in the United States and Europe. Mr. Reich told of cofdition of the Jewish people all over the world, especially in Palestine where he recently spent some time.
 This afternoon an address will be given by Miss Alta Knapp, home on a furlough from British East Africa.
 This evening Mr. Reich and Mir. Legter will speak. Mr Reich will speak on The Mystery and Romance of Israel"
