Yet it was | done through making a change in the | course of study, writes W. C. Palmer ! in the Breeders’ Gazette. Boys and girls will desire to do the things they have been taught how to do. Their interest is developed in the things they are taught.- Agriculture and home economics are the things that boys and girls are most interest- ed in to begin with. They live in a | great agriculture and home economics | laboratory. The knowledge that they have when they come to school is on' these sub- jects. Education to be the most effec- tive must begin with what the chil iren know. The will to do springs from the | knowledge that one can do: One | likes to do what one can do well. Do- | ing work that one does not under- | stand is drudgery. Most boys must | enter productive work. If they are | not educated for it then it will be | irudgery. Most girls will manage | homes. If they are not taught about | it homemaking would be a drudgery. | It is in the power of the schools to make th ir enthusiastic workers or drudges of the boys and girls. ILLS IV TRAIN OF AVIATION Sudden Ascent to High Altitudes, and as Sucden Descent, Frequently Brings on Sickness. M. Berget, a French aeronaut, aft- er speaking of the conditions of the atmosphere in general, brings out some points on aviator’s sickness. Aeroplanes sometimes reach altitudes of ten thousand feet in an hour, and here the effects on the ear such as humming or cracking noise are about the same as in a balloon, but the ef- fect on the respiratory organs is dif- ferent. The pilot is sooner out of breath and he feels a special kind of uneasiness. During the descent, the heart beats are of greater amplitude, but without accelerating. A quicker descent in a sailing flight at a speed of 1,000 or 1,200 feet a minute or even more, causes a feeling of a spe- cial kind, or uneasiness, accompanied with humming in the ears. Burning in the face is also felt and a severe headache, also the great tendency to sleep which has been before observed. The movements of the body are slug- gish and unskillful. These symptoms continue for some time after the land- ing, and the tension in the arteries is noticed to be higher than the normal. —Health. Hello Nation. Hello! We are the greatest tele- phone users in the world. The daily average of talks over the telephone last year was over 26,000,000. There are 70,000 places, towns, cities and hamlets from which telephone mes- sages may be sent, says Leslie’s Week- ly. This is 5,000 more than the num- ber of our post offices, 10,000 more than the number of our railroad sta- tions and three times the number of telegraph offices in the country. There are nearly 7,500,000 telephone stations in the Bell system—an increase last year of over 800,000. These are the facts reported by the American Tele- graph & Telephone company in refer- ence to the Bell business. It earned last year nearly $43,000,000. Will it be believed that the majority of = its shares are owned by women and less than seven per cent. by brokers? Progress of Cremation. No. 26 of the “Transactions” of the Cremation Society of England, which has just been published, states tha’’ there were 1,134 cremations in Grea Britain in 1912, compared with 1,023 i1 1911. A list is given of the well known persons who were cremated during the year, including the Bishop of Truro and Rev. Charles Voysey. There are 13 crematories in this coun- try, of which five are municipal. Sum. maries are given of the progress of cremation abroad. Some “Short Rea sons for Cremation” are appended, in which the plea is advanced that it “re moves the possibility of being buried alive.”—Dundee Advertiser. Did He Get It? “Won't you tell a nice little story for the lady?” asked a fond mother of her four-year-old boy whom she was showing off to her guest. “I don’t know a ’tory,” lisped the youngster, bashfully. “Oh, yes, you do,” pleaded his moth. er. “Just a little story.” “Will' you div’ me a kiss?’ The boy’s eyes brightened. patent, per barrel.................. 6 25 —_— The Salisbury Cemetery Co., are] selling desirable lots at an 'economi- | cal price.
