MRS. c. III. LOUDEN.

The above is taken from a
statement received a few days ago
from Mrs. c. H. Louden, Clemens
Avenue, Boston, Va, who is wide
ly known in that section, having
resided in Boston for the past
eleven years. Continuing with
her statement she said, Yes, be-

have lost all his energy and was
losing in weight. He suffered so
with MS stomach that he could
not enjoy a good meal, and what
little he ate caused him a great
deal Of suffering as his food
would sour and ferment and he
would bloat with gas that formed,
then he was always constipated,
kidneys were. out of order and he
complained all the time with
rheumatic pains and neuritis, said
he felt completely worn out and
he looked 1t. Several weeks ago
he began using the Herb Extract
formerly called Herb Juice) and
in q very short time I noticed
that he was on the road to i'm
provement. He said the medicine
was a wonderful system cleanser
and as the poison waste was elm
mated his appetite improved and
to his great relief gas and indi-
gestion pains no longer troubled
him. He now cats three hearty
meals a day. says he has more
energy than he has had for years
and feels strong as mule, rheu-
matte and neuritis pains no
longer trouble him, he has gained
in weight and is always hungry.
The three bottles he used sure
made a different man out of him
and I am thankful indeed that
we learned of this wonderful
medicine"

in education that child growth is made up of a series of varied ac- tlvitics. Movement and impulse characterize it, and tho schools pro- gram must give it place. The amount of activity, the number of child ex- perenccS and the degree to which pupils express themselves and par tlclpate in all exercises determine the educational value of any school program. The success of this first grade procedure, therefore, lends it. self to the serious consideration of principals and teachers throughout the department.

Now, learning to read IS difficult and intricate undertak- ing for any child, and while the present system has produced very commendable results during these two years, considering the inexpe- rlence of many of the primary teachers, and the wide range in the ability of the children exposed to this type of reading, it is planned to stud y the degree of reading ac- celeration more closely next year with a view to providing very defi- nlte help for the children rated i'm mature and slow mentally

 'It is impossible, however, to main, tain a high standard in the schools of New Britain at lower cost thar that which prevails in general ir cities of the same class, and it is unfair and misleading to taxpayers and citizens to represent that such thing is possible. Poor schools of low standard may cost less, but the parents of the children in our schools are not asking for poorer but better schools.

 Miss Campbell Praises Teachers
 Teachers of the elementary pub lie schools were lauded for their singleness of purpose and spirit of open-minded cooperation by Miss Campbell who, in her annual report, said that the high ideals, sane poll cies and progressive standards of attainment have been established through a union of interests between the supervisory department and the schools during the past years.
 This is Miss Campbell's first ,c- port as supervisor of the elementary schools. She succeeded Miss Fallon who retired because of ill health at the end of the June term. Miss Campbell was temporary supervisor from last October until June when the permanent position was offered her.
 Her report, in full, follows:
 "The direction of the work of the acting supervisor of elementary schools for the year 1928-1929 has been along two lines of educational First, that of establishing contacts with the diff ferent school principals and their respective teaching forces so as to become familiar with the individual school practices employed in inter- preting the ideals and objectives of education; and second, that of determining after a study of the whole curriculum the sections that called for some revision or 
 "The general character and eff ciency of the work of the schools is of high order. Singleness of pur- pose, and spirit of open-minded cooperation is quite outstanding among the teachers in the conduct of their particular work; and the nigh ideals, sane policies, and pro gressive standards of attainment hat have been established during he past years through a union of interests between the supervisory and the individual schools still obtain and contribute toward future plans.
 Educational Objectives

 Principal Shades Report

The method of suggesting and supervising rather than restraining has proven a success in the problem of the secret fraternity and sorority at the Senior High school, accord ing to Principal Slade who said to- day in his report that the present policy along these lines has proven worth while.
 Speaking of the fraternity policy MT, Slade said:
 Tt is our aim to induce these groups to make a good contribution to the larger community life some- what as the family makes it's con- tribution to the various larger groups outside of the school.

"The work in revising the courses of study, that was begun last year, was continued, and changes that were proposed by q committee of teachers and principals appointed to work on the history assignments for Grades V and VI, have been incorporated in the completed re- vision.
 'Dctcrmining the objectives of a course in elementary science in terms of the interests and needs of children in all grades will constitute a sizeable piece of work for next year. The course of study in geog- raphy calls for similar treatment. For both pieces of work suggestive data and helpful materials have al- ready been assembled.

known since the early 70,s, when a
mine was opened in the region known
as Furnace Creek Ranch in the central
part Of the valley. This mine was later
taken over by the pioneer. F. M. Smith,
who because of his success as q miner,
came to be known the world over as
Borax Smith. Borax Smith knew how

of perfect scientific specimens Is often

These difficulties were Of varying de-

for 1t may have been that deeply
cut ravine had isolated the old mine
by q distance of only a mile-a mere
trifie in his opinion-or the specimens
may have been buried In Shiny mud

going on foot for miles across the

finish the job. however. for the procur-

Hope to Solve Death VAL
Iey's Mysteries.
By JESSIE G. BEACH.

Few places perhaps have Q greater
common interest for the scientist than
Death Valley. The ethnologist Is
searching for the footprints Of early
man, the geologist Is scaling its tallest
peaks, piecing together the story Of its
creation, while the mineralogist is re-
moving the very. bowels of the valley
which may aid him in understanding
its mechanism.
Since the early 70s mining camps
have sprung to life and lived and died
on the borders of the valley. They have
mined gold, silver, copper and lead. but
above all they have recovered borax In
the largest quantities of any other
known locality on the face of the globe
and 1t was IN search OF rare specimens
of this mineral that the recently re-
turned Smithsonian expedition was
made Under the leadership of DR.. w.
r. Foehag, mineralogist of the National
Museum, assisted by F. A. Gonyer
of Harvard University.
For rs years Americans have been
hearing OF Death Valley. They have
heard great number and variety Of
things. They have acquired vague mo-
tions OF the valleys location, structure
and history. They have heard how the
party Of forty-niners. in a vain search
for gold, Strayed into the valley and
died-an incident which probably gave
rise to its uncanny name. These
stories, some false, some true, are slowly
but gradually being reconstructed by
the scientist who may some day prove
the tales the Indians have handed
down from father to son in the form Of
legends for thousand years.
Streams Never Leave Valley.
Death Valley, in Southern California
occupies the lowest pit Of the great arid
trough known as the Great Basin,
which spreads over thousands Of square
miles Of Oregon, California, Nevada and
Utah. There are scores of streams
within the valley but not one has ever
reached the sea, for Death Valley has
for millions of years, biologists say,
drinking with an unSlackening thirst
the waters Of all the rain and snow de-
posted upon its higher ridges
Although the vegetation Of this great
natural depression. lying approximately
300 feet below the level Of the sea,
consists primarily Of sage brush such
as desert holly, the creosote and mes
quit bush, an occasional Joshua tree Of
unusual splendor is found just outside
the rim Of the valley.
Death Valley does not depend upon
its vegetable growth for natural beauty,
however, for the waters from the cloud
bursts on the highlands pouring over
the deeply cut canyon walls lend vary
ing aspects to their highly colored min
eral soils, rendering the valley famous
for its mad beauty. Although "a thing
of beauty is joy forever" it was not
the desire of the expedition to fix the
living colors of the valley in passive
oils but to rob it of goodly quantity
of a peculiar type Of borax, found in
no other part of the world, which from
time to time had been evaporated out
of the. waters Of the valleys marshes
and temporary lakes.
These deposits Of borax have been

carry q two-day's water supply az well
as food supply when making an ex-
petition into fiat.
However unpleasant living conditions
may have been in Death Valley, the
expedition returned with more than a
ton of choice borax specimens, many
of which were carried by nan-pack to
the automobile parked at varying dis
tances from the mine.
