She was a bit saddened at the
thought that she would have even
less chance to see Andy in her new
position. But she had told George
Harris she would do anything he
wanted ner TO. If she was to marry
George, she better put Andy out Of
her mind entirely.
She told Mrs. Hogan about her

her position. Mrs. Hogan sent her
to her room to rest while she made
a cake in celebration of the new job.

SOCIAL STUDY WITH

Minnesota Professor Critici1es
Some Methods Used
in Teaching

Minneapolis, March 27.-R)-Pro-
fcssor A. c. Krey, OF the University
Of Minnesota. today told $50 members
Of the short course of schoolmen's
week, now being conducted on the
campus, "a closer functioning of the
social Study with life is necessary. In
the teaching of social studies"
THE mere acquisition Of a lot Of
information does not assure a good
connection between the inert mass OF
words and reality. That Is the teach
er's job. It Is explained somewhat by
cases where football coaches have
been placed in social study courses
and have made better progress than
students who have received pre-
liminary courses. all because they
knew more about life
Professor Krey criticized some of
the methods used in teaching. such as
giving too much abstract material
with insufficient explanation Of what
definite bearing 1t could have on 4
student when he is away from the
classroom.
He also said 1t was unfavorablc to
a pupils education to teach him the
United States constitution In the
sixth grade when 1t is difficult enough
even for students In the 18th grade
In high school.

 Let Mrs. Average Housekeeper contemplate the plight of Mrs. Ben jamin Harrison, who one fine morn ing discovered to her horror that the White House was overrun with rats. She ordered the basement covered with concrete and the kitchen tiled to rectify this appall- ing condition.
 A hot water plant was added to the hot air apparatus during the Mckinley administration. Finally. when Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt took up the rule of the White House, an up-to date steam heating IGant was installed.
 Six months ago what is expected to be a final radical change in the White House heating system was made. The latest type of oil burner was installed in a special boiler in the basement of the State.
