Fun in a Clocks Face. Some amusement may be had In a company of boys and girls by asking them to draw a picture of the face of a clock. Most of them would be likely to draw the letters IV. Instead of IIII. for four, and would forget, perhaps, that all the letters of the dial should stand with their base toward the cen- ter. It is probable that most people read a clock dial by the position of the figures or letters and disregard the figures themselves. Some of the larger i th s ice-- but half an Inch wide. Fasten this card to the edge of the board with a tack.

At exactly 12 o'clock place the board so mat the shadow of the card will cover the first ruled line. Just on the same minute of 12 mark the top of the shadow on the ruled line with a dot In ink. Do this every day at exactly 12 oclock, using the next ruled line.
