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. The lon procession of drab days Q? 0 s Bild Others .interested are question, correspondence or are bullt morefor winter than io. summer comfort. For winter uso wo want. the house warm (or think we lfl_‘»') ¢il`Y and siiiilciently ventilated. ‘t°_‘”g1° Hunk by making the house 'lliist isthfilf. th::ucasshut‘me 'cowl “nhl 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.

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. g . when like docile sheep, one andallro- _ , __ , _ cited the tables and rules and dates D'-‘UUE the W_i“lel` ll ls Well lobllll and events that meant absolutely each pen to its _ful1_capacity_~ _ nst ,mtblng rises-like ,,_ nlgbtmaw _Tho what that capacity ls has not been low bright spots that mark the time fully d@'¢¢=rm'1n_ed.- It depends much OH l bb l ll re ll can be bold of the constrilcticu ol the house.
