mammal and bird life of the coastal
marshes of Louisiana, where lived the
exiled Acadians, will be further studied

weeks will be spent in the land of
Evangeline" gathering, studying and
photographing specimens to round out
the museums collection.
Several coastal estates, including that

SCHOOL OFFICIALS
WORK ON SUPPLIES
Committees Framing Quotas
for Senior High Pupils
Next Year.

Nearly score of committees of
school officials are engaged in framing
supplies and text books quotas for the
distribution of materials among the Dis
tricts senior high school pupils begin
ming next year, in accordance with the
free text book bill.
Amounts of material assigned to
pupils differ with each subject and with
each semester of the high school course.
It involves the expenditure this year
of approximately $240, 900 which amount
will be established only when the 1881
appropriation bill is approved by Con-
gresS.
1t is tentively estimated that the
average senior high school pupil will use
approximately 100 sheets of ink or So
called examination" paper, and perhaps
400 sheets of pencil or scratch paper.
Similarly the number of pencils, pens
and the number of eraSerS needed
varies widely according to the courses.
No definite figures have yet been
reached by the committee members,
who said they expect to have their re-
ports on supplies completed by the mid
die OF next month.
In working out a supply schedule, the
quota committees are figuring on the
basis of the fees now paid by pupils.
The subcommittee on textbook
quotas are just beginning their work, it
was explained yesterday by Maj. R. o.
Wilmarth, assistant superintendent in
charge of business affairs, because bids
may be advertised for on them as late
as June to guarantee an August de-
livery for book distribution in Septem-
Der. These committees, group of school
officers under department heads for
each subject, will make their reports
late in May.
Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant SUI
perintendent of schools, is chairman of
the general quota committee, which in
cludes also Jere j. Crane, first assistant
superintendent in charge of business af
fairs; Garnet G. Wilkinson, first assist
ant in charge of colored schools, and
other members OF DR.. Ballou's official
staff.

> the better sort of dresses made in this
country. Some of the new collar and
cuff sets show fagoting between
strips Of material. A printed cotton
| dress may have a band of white or

or colored pique attached in the same
way. The sketch shows a dress Of

strips of material, then cut strip OF
stiff paper, mark it off in straight ruled
lines and then haste the strips OF ma

in bias or straight fold-neatly and
firmly on it, quarter inch apart, more
or less as you want. Then work your
paper, turn the frock wrong side out and

Several fagoting stitches are shown.
At the left is simple fagoting. Bring

SUMMERTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

These are the last evenings when you
will hear the wood thrush twirling his
quiet notes into the cool of the air.
Appreciate him while he is still with
us, for very presently he retires to molt,
and the evening will listen for him in
vain.
The most magical singer in all the
forest, he was beloved of Keats and
Whitman. Later every evening comes
his song, for he must wait for the cool
OF the evening longer. Shorter is his
song, for 1t is sooner night before the
freshened hours arrive. He will be here
after he has ceased; but, in sulkS or
in sorrow, I know not which, or merely
dropping with the heat and moiting
his wondrous voice will be stilled as If
in death.
Then, indeed, the silence descends
upon all the birds of the singing family,
save the Sultry wood pewees-a nervous
and dismal sound 1t is, too. Even the
dead OF Winter has far more activity in
the bird world than the dead of Sum-
mer. The District of Columbia is in
rather an intermediate stage-neither
north enough nor south enough to have a
great number OF long sojourners of the
feathered sort
This season is a highly important
time. when the bird parents try to make
little as possible; it is the weakest link
the Hedging rearing stage, in the chain
of the bird-lffe cycle, and. alas, at all
times 1t Is pitifully fragile little cor
don OF domestic events!
Every Summer we see, quite casually
and without looking for them, dozens
OF f1edglings, but most of them dead or
met with accident. The commonest
cause Of death is the cat; the COM
monest cause of accident is a fall from
the crowded nest before the poor little
creatures are ready to fly. Pitiful are
the fiuttering solicitudes of q parent
bird when a hedgling falls. The parent
hovers near, her scolding really love
and anxiety disguised by fear. She is
incapable OF carrying the baby back to
the nest, and it is far harder to learn
to fly from the ground. If any foe
approaches man, dog, a cat, a
snake, weasel, rat--the mother can
not really protect the little thing; in
the end, to save her own life, she will
have to take to flight; at best she
may hope to lead the enemy away by
feigning a broken wing. So in the
bird world, too, a frightful infant
mortality reigns in the hot Summer
days.

He grew to be Z feet inches tall

Once, on a Christmas eve, a boy was

so many purposes.

Children's Weight.

~AAAAAOA
The table of height and weight is
good as a suggestion. 1t is not a law
If a child comes close to the standard
a pound or so either way does not mat
ter; think no more about It. Only
when there is grave difference between
the child and the table is there any
cause for anxiety.
Some children will always be light
weight in proportion to their height.
This may be inherited tendency. 1t
may be a personal characteristic. If
the child is healthy, If he is happy. IL
he plays hard all day and sleeps we'll
all night, there is nothing to worry
about even Though he may be a few
pounds off in either direction.
II the child begins to lose weight and
becomes fretful and cross, something is
wrong. Do not experiment with him,
but go to the best child specialist you
can reach. His diet may be wrong.
You may be giving him the diet pre-
scrlbed by the baby book or the child
specialists article in the magazine and
still not have the right diet for your
child.
When We write about children we
have to talk about the general child,
and as there is no such thing as the
general child you can see that there Is
room for trouble. Each child is a law
to himself in his growth. and in order
to give the child the very best chance
we must know the individual child in
all his vagaries. The general law is
good for start and is all that is need
ed for the great body of children. But
when child indicates that he is not
OF the great group, but child apart,
take heed and have the doctor see him.
1t is mistake to think that fat
child is bound to be a healthy child.
Fat in children is as likely to be an
indication of malnutrition as leanness.
Take the fat child to the baby special
ist and ask to have him tested. There
may be a gland out Of balance. His
diet may be wrong. There is generally
something wrong with a very fat child.
