THE GUARDIAN. UHARL()TTETOWN

THE EDUCA TIONAL HORIZON

I appreciate the opportunity

c afforded by the Editor of Educa-

tional Horizon. Mr. Maclfadyen. to offer a few suggestions to teach- Ira and parents. I trust they may be of some little use.

As the end of the year an- the matter of grading becomes one of great importance. We feel that as far as possible the pciuon who teaches a pupil should be the one to determine his fit- ness to pass on to new and more ildvan-ced work. In this. however. teachers should show great care. There is evidence all around us of the fact that many pupils are

I hurried through the work of a

grade and promoted without the foundation for future

to Prince nI Wales College are due to inad- equate preparation in the elemen- tary work. Teachers and parents should realize that they are being neither kind nor just to their children in hurrying them through the grades.

Another problem facing teach- ors at this season is the decision

The moving of teacher:

as to a school for the next year- from school to school is certainly one of the weak pointa in our education- al organization. To know the pupils, their lparenu and indeed the district generally, ia of great value to any teacher in her efforts to give a good teaching service. Where teacher and district are getting along well, there is every reason for continuing the part- ncr-:hip.

Now a brief word to parents and ratepayers. There is no more important day in the whole year for your community than the day of the Annual School Meeting - this year Junc '.'6tli. On that daY adequate provision ll made (or

not made) for the education of your children for the coming year. School districts have been

doing well in increasing their ex- penditures for a better ccliool ser- vlcc. Every parent and interested ratepayer should be present at the Annual Meeting to see that the good work is continued. L.Vi'. SHAW Director of Education.

i SIR WILLIAM CRDOKES

Sir William Crookes was a Brit- lah scientist. He was born in Lon- don in 1020; died there in 19:10; invented the radiorneiei-. In his honor. the "Crookes tube" was given it: name. The tube which he invented was a glass bulb from

which nearly all the air had been for clecivrons,

taken out. Entering the bulb at one and was a wire which carried

electricity.

The Crookes Lube helped to prepare the way for the modern neon tube. it also made it poss- ible for soientiste to carry out many tests. When Crookes ccnt an electric current into the tube. rays, jumped across the em-pty space to 3 piece of metal at the other end. g

BECQUEREL

Toward the end of the last cen- tury a Freri-ch scientist named I-feml Bacquerol had studied the metal known as "uranium". He found that certain minerals con- taining the element uranium would make pictures on photo- graphic plates in the dark! Same- thing in the minerals was und- lng out a sort of light which could not be seen directly, but which the photographic plan could see.

RONTGEN

William Roentgen was a Ger- man physicist. lie was born in Prussia in 1015. and was educa- ted in Holland and at Zurich. Switzerland. where he received his doctor's degree at the age of lweoty-two. He taught at the un- iversities of Wiiraburg and Strau- burg. and in 1079 was made pro. foaaor of physics at Wuraburg. it

Madame Curie decided to make a careful atudy of auch raya. and her husband agreed to help her. In the months which followed. he and his wife worked on tons of pibchhlande ore. Slowly they learn- ed the different thlnga it contain- ed. They found that in it were two metala which were new to the world. The new metals were given the names ”polonium" and ttradiuni".

was at this university that he made his mt dllC0N9I'lf about X-rayu, or ntgen Rays as they were called in honor of him. He died at Munich. Germany in 1083. X-ray machines. Crookn turbo! and radium have done much to brlnl about the modern knowledge of atoms. All of them shoot out slac- troru. and electrons are part of atoms.

The Jasper and Basaitei were mostly beautifully designed Jugs and vases. Wedgwood engaged John Flaxman. a famous sculptor. to -model some of the finest of the reliefs which were reproduced from picture mold: and sprlgged upon the turned Vesta. The ground. in the jasper ware, was produced in various colors: blues, black, lilac, and other tinta, ornaments were usually in white.

However, the Republic of India is still a member of the Common- wealth of Nations and recognizes the British Crown as the "head of the Common-wealth" but not of the republic. Instead of a British governor-general. India now has a president and a premier.

Perhaps some species drop the eggs in when hovering above, but in some cases the insect must make a diving bell of her wings and go down into the water to place her eggs securely. The wings are covered with. hair and not with scales. and therefore they are better fitted for diving than
