DIVORCE TO HUSBAND
Los Angeles, Cal.—A strange story
of a mother «h o confessed that she
lacked “ mother love," and who admit­
ted that another had come Into her
life to replace the father of tier chil­
dren, was told in Judge Hardy’s court
recently, «hen Clinton A. Pedrlck was
granted a divorce from Louise M. Ped-
rick.
The Pedricks bad been married 14
years. There are three children. Un­
der the direction of his attorney, Leon
Yanwich, the husband told a rather
remarkable story.

she went away, and I haven't seen her

PLANT SOME KIND OF TREE
Duty of Every Citizen Who Can, to
Contr ibpto to the Wealth of
the Country.
At last the people are beginning to
realize the vital need of tree planting
and are attacking the problem in a
practical way.
Massachusetts will
plant 2,000,000 spruces and pines this
year on waste lands near towns. Lake
ctfmty, Illinois, reports 100 per cent
tree planting for the schools. All over
the country trees are being planted,
and none too scon, as It takes from
twenty to fifty years to grow trees
that are of much use for manufactur­
ing purposes. Our forests are being
devastated so rapidly that in a few
^ more years lumber will be too costly
for common use unless millions of
trees are planted each year. Trees
have much to do with health, beauty
and rainfall and it is time that every
family in this country planted at least
one tree each year. Every farm fam­
ily should plant at least 20 trees s
year.
The kind of treat to plant must be
determined by the locality. Certain
trees will grow best on certain kinds
of ground. Almost every home needs
more fruit trees. Many homes can be
greatly benefited by planting ever
green trees both for beauty and to
serve as a windbreak. Soft maples
grow quickly and make good shade
trees.—ftom the Pethdlnder.
City Trees.
Trees in the city have a harder fight
for foothold than do the dogs; both
are out of their natural surroundings,
and some of tbe dogs get more con­
tinual care and protection than most
of the trees. Tbe tale of an allanthus
tree, planted when It was only 18
Inches high in a back yard In 1894,

In tfcne the tree, grown old and
ccrooked, broke down a partition fence
and then died, partly on adjoining
property. Tbe fact that the trespass­
ing tree was dead did not make the
removal of the stark old offender any
easier to tenants In the adjoining prop­
erties, who wrangled and disputed;

Dept, of O. N. S. Yes, we are busy
ihank you. This is a record term |'or
enrollment. A t present over 36« stu­
dents are enrolled in the different
courses in arithmetic. To care for the
work adequately it has been found
necessary to add another instructor.
Through President Landers we were
fortunate in securing Miss Kate Houx
recently a critic teacher in the train­
ing school at Independence.
What need of arithmetic has the
individual in his life work? In the
answer to this question is found the
dominant aim for the teaching o f the
subject in our schools. Life's activ-
'.res, not only in the business world
but in the social world as well, outside
the shop and store, are ful! o f arith­
metic situations, it is for the schools
to properly evaluate these needs of
the individual as best they may and to
so shape and I'ashion the training of
the young that they will be fitted to
meet successfully these situations as
they arise.
To teach the subject with success
the teacher must be well equipped
at least along two specific lines of
preparation. No subject of instruction
in our elementary schools is more
closely a related whole than is the
subject o f arithmetic.
The teacher
who ignores this fact cannot do effi­
cient work.
The first essential then
to good teaching is a thorough mas­
tery o f the subject matter; not sim­
ply a mastery of separate topics as
such, but a mastery o f the subject in
its logical and mathematical relations
one part to another.
A child trained
by this sort o f teacher will become a
thoughtful
student o f
arithmetic
rather than a memoriter and mechan­
ical one. The foundation and back­
ground for clear thinking and for
direct and accurate expression rest
upon this thorough mastery of the
subject matter. So if the child is to
be trained to do clear thinking and to
express the thought directly and ac­
curately, these abilities must first be
found in the teacher.
The teacher must not only know
thoroughly the thing to be taught,
but he must possess skill as well in
the art o f instruction. Mind growth
and development, and the learning
process must be understood. Instruc­
tion is both a science and an art.
The efficient teacher must have
knowledge and skill in this field. He
must know best how to present the
new in the light of the related old.
He must know how to bring into the
foreground o f the pupil’s ronscious-
less the necessary old knowledge and
xperience so that the new may read
ily be made part of the properly re-
‘ated. But to elaborate these points
and many others that might be of-
"ered would take too much space at
this time.
The courses in special
method aim to supply this important
line o f the teachers equipment.

These talks ap­
