NEW METHODS OF TEACHING

Most grown-ups in looking back to

their school days find themselves wishing that Dr. Montessori or some one else who believed in making the most of the individual had planned the course of study long ago. When one stops to reason it all out, the truth appears with startling clear- ness that it -was only when the in- dividual broke away from the mass and asserted himself that something was learned.

e. t.-old is simply

an absence of heat. A tight house may retain the bent arising, from ebb bodies of the hens, but it also re- tains the aioisture exhaled from their Muni-li. Tue comb oi nbiru will freeze in H iligilif temperature in u moist than ina dry atmosphere,

The open or curtain front house in now coli- sidercd the approved iornrof con. struction and it certainly is the loose, sensible. ln many cases the openings nre not made large enough to liilmlt suilicicnt light when the curtain is closed, so some glass windows ni-e used. This, to inc, appears to hc il mistake. 1 believe glass has no Place in upoultry hounc not nriiilci- _caliy heated. 'rho openings should be lumplc to admit both uii'_1lud light lwhcn the muslin curtain is down, wllure a curtain is used. Wllcrc no curtain is used the opening need not be unite so lu1'l:c. it is soldoln,how- ,evcr, that the curtain has to lie down during the day. i keep them open, no mutter how cold, unless there is a ‘1|`i\’il\i§ Storm from the south.

'l‘iie protection fowls must need is

from wind and rain. They can stand considerable cold, especially during the day, when they are kept exercis- ing in deep, dry litter. At night it is well to give them a little further protection. A muslin curtain in front of their roosts will make them com- fortable by retaining the heat from their bodies. When the roosting clos- et is coiled from the dropping hoard up and overhead forward to the lcint where the curtain is attached, very little cold air will enter from the rear and there will be plenty of_ven- tilation through the musliu curtain in front. Muslin will let out the dnmpness and foul air while retain- ing much of the heat, as it is not a conductor. .

Large flocks will keep much warm-

er than small flocks, but the ‘ventila- tion should be correspondingly great.

A noted educator, referring to t e

immense amount of knowledge that is constantly being- crammed into chil<ireu’s heads and the ical' in some quarters that this process would be fatal, said that Nature rncrcifully provides against any such result by giving the child the faculty of inat- tentlon.

generations are to struggle along the old highway of learning, working so hard or at least so cllccrlcssly and receiving so lltilc for the expendi- ture? So little that is, of anytliing that is good.
