Unc' Billy could get his nose in, but
not much more. He could hear the
hens moving on the roosts as now
and then one would awaken enough to
change position. It seemed to him that
he could actually smell eggs, which, Of
course, he couldn't. He worked and
worked at that door, but it wouldn't
bulge.
Then he hunted for hole under
the henhouse, thinking that If he could
get underneath he might find a hole
In the floor through which he could
climb But there was no hole, and
the ground was too hard to dig one.
Back to the little door he went and
worked and worked. He tried his teeth
on the edge Of it, thinking he might
gnaw part of 1t away, but that door was
protected by piece of tin and couldn't
be gnawed. There wasn't any way to
get into that house. No, sir, there
wasn't.

space to reach the henhouSe. But it
was dark and Unc' Billy felt quite safe.
However, before he left the old wall he
sat for q while listening to make sure
that Bowser the House or Flip the Ter
rier was not prowling about. Sure that
the way was clear, he shuffled over to
the henhouse.
He went around three sides OF the
house looking for a hole, but there was
none. There wasn't even a hole under
the house. Unc' Billy sighed "Ah
reckon" he muttered, that All done

hope there Is way into that house
from inside that fence"
So Unc' Billy climbed up to the top
Of the wire fence around the hen yard
and then climbed down on the inside.
That wire was easy climbing for Unc'
Billy. 1t didn't bother him at all.
When he reached the ground he hur-

Attack on Writing System.

The indications are that q serious
assault has been made upon one Of
the very foundation stones of educa-

that the cursive system of writing,
which we have followed for ages. micht

printing, DR.. T. @. Voorlis Of Columbia
University has made very thorough
tests OF a comparative nature with
children Of the sixth grade. and the
conclusion Is that the hand printing
Is the easiest to acquire. The tests
were checked and cross checked
Glasses Of average children were sur
seyed and then they were grouped ac-
cording to the intelligence rating. and
finally the same tests were made WITH
different teachers, and in no case did
the cursiye group exceed any manu-
| script class. The result of the doc
tors survey has been published In the
college bulletin, but the cursive system
is so firmly entrenched that advocates
