Until the pay of school teachers is made high enough to attract men of power, breadth and personality into the service of the schools it be necessary and desirable to rely chief Iv on women teachers in the lower grades. In any event no amount of masculine influence in the school can take the place of home education per gonally conducted by the father. The excessive absorption of the average American father in business is the root of the present trouble. This has led to wellnigh complete abdication of the educational duties of parent hood.

Its parks and playgronnds are extensive, They are beautifully maintained, and are open to the widest Its pub lie library is comparable to those of many cities in The city has its little extravagances, too. They are part of the show. For the British city delights in the spectacular That is one of the things the lord mayor is for--to be the city's host, and foot its entertain. ment bills, It seems like an anticlimax to a long and distinguished aldermanic career to be offered the privilege of expending from ten lo twenly thousand dollars a year for the maintenance of the city's dignity and the entertainment of its guests. Yet this is a privilege to which the best of Britain's business men aspire. And Glasgow has muny little flings at the expense of the treasury, The aldermen go on trips to England and the Continent in the study of other cities. Every fortnight or so one of the departments has an inspection which is its annual show, This is followed by a luncheon at the Town Hall. A hun. dred or more of the city's official, with their guests, sit down to a dinner in the Council Chamber and hear about the commitice’s achievements, { attended one of these inspections We drove over the city and returned to the Town Hall to luncheon There was all the orderliness of a state din- ner; the rank and station of each man was assigned. There were speeches, vastly more interesting than those of an ordinary dinner, for they all talked Glasgow, Not as an American city might talk to a river and harbor committee from Congress from whom it hoped for a generous appropriation; it was not business, tonnage, bank clearances These men were too big with Glasgow lo talk about private business.

Use only the run ners from last year's plants, and aim to secure those that are large and strong, having white roots, and which have an abundance of rootlets. A runner or plant, which has blossomed or borne fruit should be discarded, and when planting the runners let the roots be well spread out and not cramped. They should be set out on fine, deep, soft ground, that has been well prepared. Any manure used should be fine and free from litter, The plants are usually placed twelve inches apart in the rows, but may be given more room with advantage, The rows may be far enough apart to ad mit cultivation with a horse hoe, or closer, if hand hoes are preferred, e top #oll should be kept loose by working the bed after every rain, When the plants are well under way gection 100 pounds 8 pounds Saltpeter 1 pound Paris green 6 pounds Wet with water, so that the bran is crumbly, but not too wet, and scat ter where the “hoppers” are the thickest.
