ADVANCED PENMANSHIP
The teachers of the recent institute
have shown an intense interest in the
work of Miss Agnes Jones, representa
tive of the A. N. Palmer Co., New
York, Boston, Chicago, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa Miss Jones is an expert dem-
onstrator of the Palmer method of
writing. She handles the subject as
only an expert can. Not only this but
she enthuses the teachers and brings
them to a proper appreciation of thif
important subject, Miss Jones deals
wih the pedagogy, psychology and me
chanics of the subject. Miss- Jones
works in public schools, 1 parochial
schools, business 'Colleges, insti
tutes,', cities and ;' states where the
Palmer, method is taught. ' She has
extended institute teachers' experience
in the states of Montana, Nebraska,
Oklahoma; Idaho and Oregon. '
It is evident from her model class
work that she understands teachers,
and knows how to get response. She
, swings them into action with that ease
as only an artist can and the enhusi
sm among teachers is intense. Her
work is broader than mere lecturing,
for through her able demonstrations
the teachers are shown specifically
just how to carry on the work of writ
ing from day to day. ' ' : ;
It is the Palmar plan to teach the
principles of muscular movement in
the primary grades and the work
followed up logically and progressive
ly, step by step, from grade to grade.
In Miss Jones' classroom instruction
ehe stated that, good pedagogy in
writing means the logical order of
developing the, different . phases of
writing, which involves an educative
process in which, motor and mental
activities are called into play in di
rect co-ordination. She asserted: "The
mind is impressed tenfold when its ef
forts to learn is associated with some
' achievement of the hand."
. She explained fully that the muscle
must co-ordinate the ' mind in such
manner that the mind's management
of the script producing muscles be
come the mental reflection of the
child's conception of form. ' .
Teachers reodily sense the value of
this comparative new idea of mental
development in writing ond that this
systematic development makes for ef
ficiency in the mechanics of execu
tion. Miss Jones emphasized the founda
tion work, the establishment of correct
habits, - systematic ' raining on posi
tion, physical exercise for the relaxa
tion of the muscles, the development
. and the cultivation of motive power
and its application.
The Palmer method of writing is the

FARMS THAT FAIL
the Way Peed Making Crops Rob tha
Boil of It Fertility.
' An acre of wheat deprive the soli of
forty-Ore pounds of nitrogen, twenty
three pounds of phosphoric acid aid
thirty pounds' of potash. On the mar
ket nitrogen Is worth 17 cents a pound,
phosphoric aid T cent and potash 4
cents.: Therefore ' the actual money
value of the nitrogen removed from the
oil by an acre of wheat Is $7.6.1: of
phosphoric arid, $1.61. and of potash
11,20; making a total loss of $10.4tl an
acre a year. If the farmer raises twen
ty acres of wheat a year for twenty
Ive years the loss will be $S.230.
Each acre of oata consumes - fifty
pounds of nitrogen, twenty pounds of
phosphoric acid and forty pounds of
potash. In the same way an acre or
corn will t'ike from the soil SIS.rwi
worth of fertility, provided both the
grain and fodder are removed."- If you
have fifty acre In corn 02S worth of
fertility la removed each fmr- totwen
ty years you will have taken out $18.
BOO worth of the element necessary to
produce a good crop.
Should you raise lifty acres of wheat,
fifty acres of oats and ''fifty acres' or
corn for twenty years on your farm the
money value of the -elements removed
from the soil would be more than $40,
000. Is It any wonder, then, that the
farms begla to wear out when you full
to return those elements to the soil
wbk-b are necessary to produce a crop?

In order to escape the brain exhnustlng
ordeal of deciphering Carlyle's hiero

had been nt work In London for some
time, when one dsy "take" of Car

to compositors According to the Lon

the direct result of the enormous labor
spent In making corrections In the
proofs of his manuscript What it
meant to put bis copy Into type is
shown by the fact that "Cesar Blrot
