Until the pay of school teachers is

necessary and desirable to rely chief

masculine influence in the school can
take the place of home education per

excessive absorption of the average
American father in business is the
root of the present trouble. This has
led to wellnigh complete abdication

POETRY FOR GIRLS
It is a great mistake, in my opin-

Deep, fine soil is an advantage in
getting out young strawberry plants, |
for which reason the work should be
done carefully, and early, in order to
get the benefit of the spring rains,
April being an excellent month for
such operations. 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

closer, if hand hoes are preferred,
