One of the teachers registered in creasing curiosity while observing the incident. Finally she asked Mrs. Burns, "Does the little girl really read these things?" "Yes!" wus the reply.

However, .Mrs: Burns, believes that children can learn to reud as eas ily as they can learn to talk. "It is simply . a matter of railing their attention to the written page be fore they come to look upon it as an arduous task and something to e shunned,',' says Mrs. Burns. "By act ual physiological tests, Bight is 22 per cent more effective than hearing. Why not make use of this point?" -Mrs. Burns believes in the American educational system, but is confident that it could be greatly stimulated by earlier educational training at home. She points out that education has been looked upon by all children as a thing apart from childhood enjoyment. From the very beginning of their school duvs this is triip th iiKuctu and points to the matter of teaching the child to read. For six years of their lives, -reading Is a closed book.

We ha a method before the war The Hague but it was incompetent: There was no more power behind it than there Is backing the decisions of the general conference of the M. E. church. An old fighter senses to win was to "strike first and strike hard." We did n't strike first for the reason that was another and finer saying: "First be sure you are right and then go ahead." Some of us who were not party demo crats in respects to this finer bm ment, voted yes Wilson. We were slow to believe that self preservation could lead' us across the water. And now after the fight is won and the object made clear. "To make safe" to have a small synod of men 16, they say hold up and defeat for the time this object, well who are they call them out. This act of these 16 men has de layed the settlement of affairs and caused loss and suffering and last and maybe least, the physical breakdown of our president, who was so obsessed with the spirit of this object that he and means must be devised to protect neglected some minor things for in stance failing to secure the sugar crop of Cuba which has brought down on his devoted head the wrath of many a housewife who had previously voted for him.
