point in those schools to make a liberal use of the Babcock milk tester. The rural. schools should teach more of dairy problems, and rotation of farm crops, spraying mixtures and handy farm measures.

3. Agriculture, horticulture, dairying.

4. Surface water running in; a shallow well; uncleaned wells; seepage from privy vaults on higher ground, and from drainage tile sewers.

"Real income, as it has to do with family life, consists of money income, plus the power and the desire of the family to perform useful labor, plus their discretion and taste in the matter of spending either money or labor." farmers' institute; the county teachers' institute; the state conventions of millers, bakers, dentists, doctors and undertakers.

7. The boys and girls who live in rural communities have the same instincts and capabilities as those who are in the cities; but in view of the physical conditions the interests of city children and country children are greatly divergent. The country children under proper direction find their consuming interest in nature, in field and meadow, in orchard and garden-on the farm. The school subjects are to receive an altered emphasis. New subjects which are essential to agricultural progress are finding important places in the curriculum.

8. In every community there should be an adequate program of play and recreation, suitable for Sundays as well as for week days, adjusted to the season of the year and adapted to the needs of all ages. In this, the church, as represented in the Sunday school, has its opportunity for influence. The higher the moral tone of the recreation of a community the more fruitful should be the work of the church and it has its place in maintaining and elevating this tone.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

(a) Briefly discuss the importance of
carefully planning a day's and week's
work in the home. (b) Explain how
help on this point may be given to
seventh and eighth grade girls.
What is meant by first aids to the in-
jured? What could be profitably
taught to a class of seventh and eighth
grade girls on this topic in connec-
tion with the work in physiology?
How could you correlate the instruc-
tion in Domestic Science work with
other studies, and leave more time for
laboratory work?

If there is an entrance hall, would you
advise the use of this for a laboratory
or kitchenette? How would you ar-
range such a laboratory or kitchen-
ette? What would be the advantage
of such a room?

5. Make out a series of twelve lessons to be taught during the fall term on the preservation of fruits and vegetables. Outline the first lesson in preservation in detail.

plan.

How would you teach the cost of food to the seventh and eighth grades? Why does milk sour? Explain why it should be cooled quickly after it sours. Discuss the objections to the use by more than one person of the same drinking cups, towels, combs, brushes, etc.

Why is it necessary for girls to have a knowledge of textiles, and the textile industries?

How would you teach the making of garments which should be made with machines, if there is no machine in your equipment?

No one can work efficiently without a Time and energy can be saved by hav

ing a plan. (b) By discussion of importance of a plan. Urging the girl to do her work with some system in the laboratory. By having the girls work out a plan for the housework done in each of their homes, giving reasons for doing things in the way indicated. No one plan can suit every home. A pian must be made to suit the needs and meet the requirements of each household. (2) "First aids to the injured" means care given to anyone who has been hurt, poisoned or who becomes sick suddenly. When a case is serious a physician should always be called as soon as possible. For seventh and eighth grade girls the work may be correlated with physiology by teaching the girls such things as "the reason why a cut bleeds, with the proper methods for cleansing and bandaging the same," "why a burn causes pain and how the inflammation can be removed." "Some of the antidotes for poisons," "methods for treating people who have fainted," "ways of stopping bleeding at the nose," etc. Always give the reasons why these things affect the body in the way they do, providing the explanation is easy enough for the girl to understand. With the reason, the girl better understands the method for treatment.

3. In mathematics work, problems of cost of food and quantities required could be figured. English lesson could be made to include the writing of themes on subjects relating to laboratory work. Reports of work done could also be used in place of themes. Geography and history can be correlated for teaching the source and history of products used in the laboratory.

4. It would depend entirely on the rest of the plan of building whether the entrance hall could be used. It would be impossible to make a plan for arrangement without first knowing the plan of hall. If there is any advantage in such a plan it would be that it took the equipment out of the school room, thus giving more space. A separate room for cooking is always best.

5. Series of twelve lessons: 1. Reasons for and methods of preserving; laboratory work; illustrate methods of preservation with spice, vinegar, drying, etc. 2. Principles underlying canning; sterilization, laboratory work; illustrate method of canning peaches by open kettle method and by wash boiler method. Discuss advantages. 3. Definition of preserves, conserves, jams, etc.; laboratory work; make pear preserves. Comparative cost and quality of home-made and commercial products; laboratory worki make grape conserve. 5. Principles underlying jelly making; laboratory work; illustrate effect of sugar in jelly making by use of different quantities. 6. Pectin-its presence in different fruits; laboratory work; lustrate by "pectin test." 7. Methods for caring for fruits after canning and preserving: laboratory work; making jelly. Principles underlying pickling; laboratory work; stuffed mangoes (in vinegar and spices). 9. Reasons for canning vegetables; methods of preservation; can corn by "wash boiler" method. 10. List vegetables that may be canned; laboratory work; can beans. 11. Reasons why the open kettle method is not good for vegetables; laboratory work; give demonstration of commercial home canner. 12. Discuss cost and quality of home-made and commercial products. Outline of lesson (1) Twenty minute discussion of why fruits are preserved and methods for doing the same. Directions should be given for laboratory experiment. Thirty or forty minutes should be used for laboratory work. Pare and slice an apple and treat different pieces in different ways, such as covering one piece with spice, another with vinegar, another arrange for drying, etc. These are to put away and be observed two or three weeks later. Write report of work done.

6. One of the best methods is by taking or sending the girls to the grocery store and meat market and letting them observe the methods used in selling foods and noting the cost. Have the girls make lists of foods and have them note whether they are bought by pound, box or measure and the cost of same. Through laboratory work they should be taught about how much meat it takes for one serving, how much rice it takes to make a serving, etc., and then from their lists estimate the cost of food.

7. Milk becomes sour because of the action of lactic bacteria. These produce change in the milk sugar, converting it into lactic acid. This acid causes the milk to taste sour and to curdle. By cooling milk after it sours would hinder the further growth of the bacteria, thus preventing the formation of too much lactic acid.

8. All these articles are carriers of bacteria. As contagious diseases are caused by bacteria, the main way of preventing disease is through not allowing the bacteria to reach the body. A cup, a towel, etc., used by one person infected with disease, may be the means of giving that disease to the second person using the same articles because of the bacteria present.

9. To appreciate the value of textiles-to understand why good textile materials can not be purchased at bargain prices. To understand the value of textiles as to durability and use.

10. Have the cutting, fitting and hand sewing (as much as possible) done in the school room. Then give directions for the machine stitching to be done at home. Have the garment returned each time for criticism.

America.

My country 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,

Of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrim's pride, From ev'ry mountain side

Let freedom ring.

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;

I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and temp'l'd hills;
My heart with rapture thrills.
Like that above.

Let music swell the breeze And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song; Let mortal tongues awake, Let all that breathe partake, Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong.

Our fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,

To Thee we sing.

Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light, Protect us by Thy might,

Great God, our King.
