Mere chil dren, however, need to have some- thing personal put into the'r lessons, something related to themselves and their homes, in order to fix their at- tention and memory. To do this is not the same thing as making their tasks easy: they may have to work exceedingly hard over them, but they are glad to do so because the problem seems real and useful, and to concern n<;t life in the mocn, but their own experiences. Contrary to general belief, children can work very hard, and for long stretches of time, if their inter9st has been excited. We have discovered that th3re are three different ways in which chil- dren remember things: Some remember by making pic- tures of things in their minds and re- calling these pictures. When they try to spell, they see the words; when they do arithmetic, the fixtures pile themselves into certain forms in front of their memories, sugg-jsting the answer by the relation of one number to another in this mental table. Likewise, geography and his- tory are recalled in the form of maps and pictures. These children should be shown things instead of merely told about them. The most perfect spellers and the great mathemati- cians seem to belong to this visual- minded class. Some remember by hearing in their minds the lesson which has been read to them or which they have learned in any other way. The sound of the word is their guide in spelling it; and in the case of English, with its irregular pronounciation, this is not as accurate as the sij;ht image. Arithmetic goes to a sort. of tune, in which "seven and five make twelve." "six times six are thirty-six." "eight from twelve leaves four," return like familiar airs. Much repetition aloud helps these ehildren. Others remember by driving the out of earshot as possibleâ€" into aj tj .5,^:11 ],„;_ ..„..,. little children who' V ' , , . . .second room ^f the school has oneâ€" ^ it wiu neip ve.j, uttie cni.aren w.io Love does not envy those who have second room, :l tne scnooi nas one j-re having difficulty with sounds m i,„^+„ ^^ ,^„„^^ ;>*.. v,,*- _„;„;^o- ;,, ,. ^ " , ,.,.., ^. • I oetter or greater gifts, but rejoices in reading to try to think of all the 00- ..i.„:„ ;„,. t „,.„ ; „â-º .^u- ^„ „,>..!

Fairly deep plowing opens; up the soil so rain can soak in more; readily. Plenty of vegetable matter helps hold moisturo. Plenty of avail- able plant food enables the plant to make more growth with a given amount of moisture. Th's fertility and vegetable matter are furnished in the best form of manure. Weeds use up a lot of moisture and the weeds grow all the time, they must be kept out. .A. good way to accomplish all this is to put one-third of the plowed area of the farm in corn, potatoes or summer fallow( must be kept clean and plowed in JuneK and the other two-thirds in grein. Com or pota- toes are preferable to the summer fallow; they give a crop and leave the soil in nearly as good a condition. 100^^ Pure" Paint The Paint fur wear jnil weather.
