"It Is a microphone which rests on the teacher's desk and Is connected to a pair of earphones for every child. When the Instructor sings, talks or plays a musical Instrument, the children feel the vibration and recognize the sounds after repeated repetitions. In the case of speech, they learn to recognize words without resorting to lip reading." In addition, she explained, the children are taught light and heavy accents of words by placing their fingertips against a bass drum while the teacher speaks words against the drumhead, just as one would speak into a "mike."

In every town there are many characters known to police, who live by scheming almost or entirely robbery. These men are respons of the law breaksible for ing; the ordinary citizen with a good job does not require the attention of police a half dozen times In his lifetime. . . . The most serious trouble In the world today is too much charity for the more than half loafers, dead beats and criminals. And this excessive charity Is a new growth. I distinctly remember a time when all communities bad a vagrancy law; vagrants were arrested with considerable promptness and discretion, and made to work on the rock pile. Nearly everywhere now the vagrants are in charge of public affairs. Bulldog Saves Child anc Servant from Ueatn Old Hand Loom Provides Living for This Family a iwhCedar Rapids Iowa..

I have long believed the love of parents for children Is the thing that never fails. And parents add a patience In dealing with their and children that is about the most creditable thing to be said of our miserable race. Some parents, poor wretches, have bad judgment, but fierce devotion to children never falls so far as I have observed. If love for our children will save us we will all finally get to heaven. Some children may fall to sit on the right hand of God because of meanness to their parents, but If love of children Is sufficient virtue to save us, I expect to find all parents there.

None of their notions are accepted. I eive credit above to Herbert Spencer for the compliment It may have been Samuel Butler; I should have better remembered the name, in gratitude. Anyway, both men have come down to us with reputations for unusual intelligence and learning; and let ordinary working citizens remember that such a man believed they are the source of real Intelligence, and in future combat mistaken notions of writers and statesmen with more Combine Usefulness and Beauty, and Always Remembrance. - , K .t''J' t V W y,. w erage not more than half enough to eat and wear.

From their ranks come the millions who have slowly improved their manners and their services, and been able to distinguish their race.
