body and arms. The wind whipped
her skirts into the flame. and she
raced 100 yards to water barrel,
jumping in, which probably saved
her life. Her condition, however, is
serious. She is the mother of a

Thinks Schools
 Ignore Language
Its Science Is Hardly Noticed Now.

Minneapolis July 8. Rl-Al. though language is "our most ne. cous inheritance" Y. C. Coulter of the University of Wyoming. to- day told the National Council of Teachers of English that I've mako no provision in our educational sys- tenn" for teaching the science of language.
 What we do teach is the mere etiquette of language behavior" he said. "In this day of science, we ignore the science of language. the science which is most intimately related to our racial culture and to our mental growth.
 Any flve-year-old knows more language facts that we try to teach him in the schools. facts of word order. word formation, the ways in which words get meaning, the curi- ous shifts these meanings undergo, the relation of words and sentence idioms to his thinking, etc. But he does not know that he knows these things. To teach him language Is to make him conscious of these language facts, to systematize and evaluate them. This is to Lat him in command of the instrument of his thought. the tool of his mental development"

 There was no mistaking Philip Veritzen's pleasure at my invitation to deliver in person his costly and beautiful gifts to my sick boy. He sprang to his feet with a quickness of movement foreign to him, and his eyes beamed approval.
 That will be privilege indeed he said with his courtly bow. Noel, will you ask Otto to carry these things up.'
 His son went down the steps with prompt obedience; but I guessed that he shared my irritated amuse- ment and that which was reflected in Mary Harrtson's eyes at the spec tacle of one man sending another to summon a third from some distance away to carry a basket of fruit and some toys to . sick child's room. Both Olina and Georges. however. patently accepted his action n the only correct one. and to me the lit- tie incident was only another proof of the unbridgable gulf of ideas be- tween these members of . royal dynasty and our sturdy democratic young Americans.
 When Noel came back he was alone. and his fathers thick eye- brows almost met in the frown he gave the young man.

Teachers Should
 Know of Health
Training In Its Supervision
 Urged.

Minneapolis, July ,. @-Thor- ough preparation of class room teachers to give effective assistance in school health supervision was ad- vocated before the National Educa- ton association today by Cora T. Helgesen. supervisor of nurses of the Minneapolis board of education.
 "The real purpose of health su- pervision in the schools" she said, lis the maintenance at high standard of excellence of the health of those attending, in order that children may receive without handicap the largest benefit from the schools and go forth into life with health and strength.
 Tn order to accomplish this pur- pose 1t is necessary to discover those pupils who are mentally ana physically unable to continue sue cessfully or to complete the educa- tional program offered, and to ;N- wise parents or guardians that a loss in health and progress will re- suit unless the defects detected are corrected"
 Scientific estimates that there are S.o00.0o0 pupils with imperfect hearing in the schools of the Unit ed States were brought to the at tention of the association by Caro- line kimball of Lynn. Mass, teach CT of lip reading, and Dr. Horace Newhart. associate professor of otogoly at the University of Min nesota.
 Lip reading is best taught when the loss Of hearing is not very great Miss kimball said. "Chil- dren do not grow out of deafness, they grow into it. II is a progress sive disease, too often ignored and neglected. Adult deafness has its beginning in early childhood.
 ''Children sometimes arc consld- queer. but after proper testing im- perfect hearing is found to be fhe cause of their backwardncss."
 Declaring any plan for teaching must be conditioned by the amount and character of the learning traits of students. 4. NJ. Field, associate professor of agricultural education. University of Minnesota, advocated mental ability tests.
 "These tests.'' he said. "are not intended to select individuals for d certain course. but rather to help the teacher make the course more worth while to the individual who may wish to take it. The results will aid the teacher to set up bet ter obiectives. predict probable success. aid in guidance. diagnose class groups and set appropriate standards of achievement"
