ISpeotal Correspondence.] In considering tlie methods which m ill briny success to any organization «e should first consider the purpose of that organization. The purpose of the juvenile grange is purely educa tional, and the training it gives is dif ferent from any that may be obtained elsewhere. No order in the world cov er:! so broad a field as the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, and the juve nile work trains and prepares each member for the work sl' riper years. 'l'Ue first element of success in the juvenile grange is a good mflt.'on. She nee I not have had experience with children nor as a teacher. She can de velop her peculiar needs as the work goes on if she Is fitted to her work. i lie first thing to be taught is to be a j; iod Patron of Husbandry. The beautiful words of instruction in our ritual should be often used, and in the imp;essionable mind of the child they ( will take deeper root than they do j with the careless adult. The next thing J is the careful training in the rules of the Order. The children should have regular drill work In the proper open ing and closing of the grange, each child receiving personal attention and j instruction in carrying out his or her j part with dignity. Children naturally i love anything of a military nature and | will fall gracefully into doing their ' regular work with precision, prompt- | in- 1 and dignity. The degree work is a delight to them, uud the lessons | learned in their order'will be carried out in the future when they have lie eome members of the larger Order wliirh they closely resemble. After all parliamentary rules are til e ughly learned the regular routine business must be managed by them selves. The matron can easily hold them to this by judicious praise and en couragement. Not often will they need this. but. her watchful care will pre vent ••iirek habits, and this training will be of the greatest lienefit to them. Nf.er in alter life will lhc.\ lose the Keif confidence and fcusim ss ability thus gained. Alt' r the business is thoroughly leurii"d the most delightful studies can le ope; I up to them through the study of nature and agriculture. The leaflets of the Cornell Junior Naturalist Series will be sent to them on applica tion. and from them can be developed the I'MSt delightful Object lessons, the iiius.rations showing them just how each part of the work must be done. The planting of seeds and bulbs, the distribution of moisture, the habits of plants, birds or animals, the sprouting of st Is, the lest for starch In plants, the competition between weeds and plants, the mother instinct in plants iirid animals, the diseases and enemies of plants and flowers and many, many other valuable lessons may be fastened upon the child's mind by the simple ob ject lessons which they may them selves conduct. The recitations, se lections and other work of tliis nature in the lecturer's hour will give conti deu'-e for work of the same nature in the regular grange in the future. Experience shows me that the Ju venlle grange is the surest method by which we .tu build up the Order. In our juvenile grange at .North Hannibal the children count the days until they can ie admitted to the larger grange. .\o question ever arises as to whether or not they will join. It Is a foregone conclusion they could not be kept out. In nme granges where 1 have been tenl to talk this subject 1 find that a fear of unforeseen difficulties or ardu ous labor is standing in the way of the organizing of juvenile granges. To such 1 would say: Ho not fear for the children. They will put into the work the enthusiasm of childhood, they will Imbibe ihe grange spirit, and before you know it they will have infused new life into tile parent organization. Careful study, observation and actual experience teach me that the best thing for the Order of tlje future Is the juvenile grange of today. ELIZABETH P. FARNHAM. National Grange Officers.

"I'll tell you just one If you will promise togo to sleep." "My pajamas don't feel good." "Don't think about them. I'll tell you a story, but one will be all." Mr. Todd sat beside the bed and be gan: "Once there was a little uoy"— "What's his name?" "I forget." "Didn't he have any name?" "Yes. to be sure he had; Dou't inter rupt me, Robert." "Then what was it?" "Why, his name was—his name was Julius." "Julia's a girl's name." "This boy's name Avas Julius, not Julia. He was named for Julius Cae sar." "1 know something about Julius Caesar," Robert exclaimed, sitting up suddenly and quoting: "Julius Caesar Was a wise old geezer. But lie froze off Ids fii<?t In a ice cream freezer." "Where did you ever bear such a thing as that?" "Alfred Potts told it to me." "Well, don't you ever let me hear you use that word 'geezer* again. Now i goto sleep." I "But you didn't tell me the story." I "All right. This isn't about Julius Caesar at ail. Julius Caesar was a king, and he died a loug time ago." "When he froze his feet off. papa?" "He didn't freeze his feet. That Is I a piece of silliness Alfred Potts told j you." "What is a piece of silliness, papa?" | "Don't ask me such foolish questions. Settle down and goto sleep or I'll go ! back downstairs and leave you alone." | "Pupa, my pajamas don't feel good." | "I told you not to think about them. Now, listen and I'll tell you about this little boy. He went out one day and Ml W'' "Was his name Julius?" "Yes, yes!" Mr. Todd answered. "His name was Julius, and he"*— "Did he die a long time ago?" "No. Julius Caesar died a long time ago. This l»oy didn't." "Where does he live now?" "I don't know. Be still." "llow'il you know what's his name, • hen?" "Well, ho lives—he lives in a town somewhere. And one day he went out antl saw a tree that was simply full of birds. The birds"— "What did the birds do?" "The birds sang, of course." "What did they slug?" "They sang songs. Now, If you want me to tell you this story you will have to be quiet. So this boy looked up at the birds and" — "My pajamas don't feel good," "They never will feel good if you don't stop thinking about them. So this boy looked up at the birds, and— he was a bad boy—ami lie thought it would be smart to throw a stone at them." "Did he?' 1 "Yes, he threw a stone at the poor little birds." , "And what did the stone do?" "It made the birds fly. And then"— "Papa." "Well?" "What did the fly do?" "What fly?" "The fly it made the birds into." "Robert Gallabue Todd. 1 am going i downstairs, and if you are not asleep j in two minutes 1 shall punish you!"
