THE SCHOOL ROOM.

(Contributed. )

Teachers, especially ir. villages and,

rural districts, experience a great deal of diiiieulty in trying to main- tain order and at the same time a proper spirit ln the schooirooru.

One reason fur this is the attitude

which most parents have toward the' school. In the first place they do not teach their children to respect the teacher. but. instead criticize only too freely every action of the latter. This criticism of course lessens the teach- ci' in the estimation of thc pupils hearing it, coiisciiuunuly _they caiinoi. respect him and where respect for thc master of a school-room is waiiting,

placed in compartmen ii by theme v

discipline is impossible. - When misunderstandings arise, as they will occasionally in all schools

D Y und that from children whose judge- incnt they would not take in any other matter. To employ a man to uiire for stock. and then depend on boys and girls to tell how well he is doing his work would be regarded as th‘e' height of folly. To em-ploy* one to care for the highest interest of the children of a district and then de- ucnil entirely on what children say :is to how well these interests are cared for is worse than folly.

Then too, the teacher's ability is

often misjudged by "impossible" pupils. Why are they “impossible"? lieiicuse from their _ earliest years they are allowed to do as they like in their own home, the parents never considering the future; thus at the time when the child is of school age discipline is very distasteful to it. This neglect of parents is very dc- moralizing to a teacher and it is -largely of this order of parents that most of the present difilcultles with teachers, especially in rural districts, exist.

Most parents assume that they

know tliolr children. This may be true as far as their home is concern- ed, but it does not apply to the school life by any means. Parentl your child plus children is a very dif- iferent child to what you know it to be. Teachers HEAR so many beauti- ful things that parents have said a- nout their children, they SEE so many things those children have done that parents would not believe.

It is indeed a pitlsble fact that

many successful teachers give up their profession on account of the absurdity of parents and it is also a fast that the school will never be a success until teacher and parents work together.

to picture the consternation there would be if Canadian cows in general were as poor as these twenty Ontario cows; people need milk, plenty of it, as s. good, nutritious and cheap food in these days of high prices. But if ` poor cows with only low yields are kept, where would be this necessary and universally appreciated food sup- ply? .

Fortunately, through systematic

cow testing. these comparisons are possible, so that an incentive is fur- nished to every owner ofa poor herd to keep cows more worthy the name of "dairy" cows. Simple records, easily kept, give definite information acting as guide posts to herds bred and fed for large yields.

those who are cantemplatlng clipping their horses. In the first place,never clip a horse that has a fine coat of _hsir, as it will then be necessary to lclip it every fall and spring thereaf- iter, writes C. H. Barnes of the Col- iorado College. The only horses that would be clipped are those with heavy coats, that can be cared for ,during the winter, such as hlankcting warmly in the stable and covering with a canvas during severe storms while at work. The advantage in

| clipping s horse is that the lcng-liair-

ed horse, after sweating profusely, will noi; dry off during the night. This condition will cause the horse to take cold, the inflam-mation being located in the nose, throat, or lungs, It would not be a good policy to clip a horse and then turn it out to a straw pile for the winter. Clipped horses should never be allowed to stand uncovered, as they chill quick- ly, ‘A clipped horse dries off readily, ii-nd is easily removed from the legs. and there is no disagreeable hair fly- ing during the period of shedding. In the fall clip as soon as the fliesv do not bite the animal, while in they spring, clip before the horse begins to shed.

The ditcher or ditch cleaner is a

convenient. device for cleaning ditches It consists of a guide plank, 2 in- ches by 12 inches by 12 feet and a mold board, 2 inches by 12 inchesi by 8 feet. These are braced with a crosspiece 3 feet long as shown in figure 5. The mold board should be shod with an iron plate i inch by 4 inches by 3 feet, held in position with 3-8-inch bolts countersunk_ The cross brace should be hollowed 3 inches on each side at the middle, the hoilowing to begin not less than 4 inches from each end, in order that its bearing against the guide and mold board planks shall not be shortened, nor the nailing space de- creased. This is done to prevent earth from heaping up in front of the brace. A light platform is needed to make the use of the ditchnr safe.

The hitch is made as shown in

figure 5, the short side of the chain v being about 2 leet 3 inches in length and the long side 8 feet 3 inches. ‘The chain is made to pass over the lmold board, so that it may clear it- self more readily. Two or three horses, according to the difficulty of

iing suggestions may be of benefit to front end. The essential thing to ho

gained is to have the dlteher main- ~tain a smooth, even surface on the bottom of the ditch. There -is than no obstruction to the low of water. This requires that soft, muddy holes be passed over tightly and hard, high places be reduced. This rdllllt is obtained if the driver shifts his weight forward or backward 'as' a. high point or a mudhole is approach- ed. If the driver shifts his weight forward the point of the ditoher il -driven into the ground. If he iaovn back, the pressure on the forward end is relieved and the pull on the chain tends to raise lt. l Besides clearing the ditch, the `ditcher assists in preserving the slope from the side of the toad to the bottom oi the ditch. This keeps the road sale from possible accident to traffic from ditches with too ab- rupt slopes.

CONCLUSION.

The advantage to be gained from

the president use of a road drag may be summarized as follows:

1.-The maintenance of s smooth, serviceable earth road free from ruts and mudholes.

2. Obtaining such road surface with the expenditure of very little money and labor in comparison with the money and labor required for other methods.

3. The reduction of mud in wet

weather, and of dust in dry weather. There are also several minor hens- lits gained from the use of s road drug, besides the great advantages which always accrue from the for- mation of improved highways, of which may be mentioned the banish- ment of wee-'is and gross irnln , l-bb dragged portion of the road,
