A curious llttlo book Is an old, old trcatlso on aeronautics by Jean Jacques Rousseau, culled "Lo Nouveuu Uedalc." LIko Leonardo da Vlncl nnd Cyrano oo uergcruc. uousseuu was haunted by tbo dream of aerial navigation. Wo read In his treatise: "Men walk on tho enrth, they sail on tho water and swim In It. Is not the air an element, llbo the others? What business havo tho birds to shut us out of their premises whllo wo ore made welcome In those of tbo Ashes?" Rousseau took no stock In any the ories propounded by tho Darius Ureous of his day. Ho sifted the matter for himself nnd thought it Involved two problems. First, to And a body lighter than air, so that It would rise. Ho imagined that sooner or later such a body might present Itself; There was no telling. But what stumped him was his sec ond problem how to make that oblig ing body stop rising nnd how In crea tion to raako it como down. This was too tough n problem for Jean Jacques, nnd ho wound up bis book by admit ting It. For n long tlmo "Lo Nouvean De dale" remained unpublished, appearing only In 1S01. Single Story School Houses BE FAIR WITH THE DOG. Give It a Square Deal and It Will Re pay You For Your Care. Only muzzle a dog If it Is absolutely necessary. Tho wearing of a muzzle tends to make dogs cross nnd snappish. It does not provo that a dog bus ra. blcs or is mad becnuso It froths at the mouth. It may have n sore throat or n lit. Clipping the cars Is n cruel and bar barous practice, wholly unnecessary, depriving tho animal of Its natural comfort nnd beauty and Injuring its hearing. If you must tie up the dog have the end of tho chain secured to n ring on n long wire so that It enn havo the run of at least twenty or thirty feet. Don't blame tho dog for showing no ambition if It Is overfed on meats and sweets. Its health and spirits will bo of tho best if it is given simple but substantial food nnd allowed tho free dom of outdoor life. Train the dog with Drmncss nnd fair ncss. Tho nnlmal is eager to learp whnt Is wanted of It and when once It understands will follow Instructions with .almost hutnnn Intelligence. Our Dumb Animals. (From Tho Tlmbermnn.)

An example of tho old rough and ready methods of arriving nt n meas urement is the Elizabethan way of get ting tho "feet." Fiilcntln Leigh, who wrote on surveying, records that after service on Sunday sixteen men were stopped nt the church door. Just ns tbey happened to come out. nnd drawn up In line, left foot to left font. The length thus obtained wns taken ns "n right ii ml lawful rood lo measure and survey tho land with." and u tdxtccuth pnrt of It as "a right and lawful toot." Although big nnd llttlo men were thus roughly nvcraged against each other, tho results naturally varied to some extent. Henco It Is. as Sbnw Sparrow notes in treating of this "rood" as the architectural "bay" which gives us the "bay window," that a bay Is Home times round to be rather less than six teen feet of twclvo inches. Lunduu Chronicle. Eplctetus. Tho "Discourses or Eplctetus" were written not by tho philosopher himself, but by his fnlthrul pupil Arrlan, nrtcr ward tho historian of Alcxumler the Great Arrian tells us that he took down tho sayings of his master at tho time tbey wcro delivered, mid thus wo xaay rely upon the substantial correct, ness of the discourses. Eplctetus wrote nothing, nnd but for tbe tbougbtfulness of his nffectlonnto dlsclplo we would havo known nothing of hN wonderful teachings teachings which have In spired many of tbe greatest men who havo lived during the past '-',000 years.

Wo arc victims of Btylo In archi tecture as well as In habits of thoupht. In no. particular havo wo been mora Blnvtch in following n beaten path than in school architec tural designing. Years ago tho planB of our schools brought nbout the erection of multl-Btoried school houses, hut the greater ndnptlhlllty both in tho matter of convenience nnd cost, health nnd safety-first Ideas hnva been undergoing a gradual change, and tho question that now faces us is: why mora than n one story typo building? Tho common typo of school houso Is built on a full lot and has a baso ment nnd two stories. It Is llko tho letter II. There aro two small courts for playgrounds or flower gardens nnd a limited spaco at the rear. IlaBomeuts, however treated, nro cel lars. Tho ono story school houses In Portland, Oregon, nro constructed In tho form of n hollow square, pro Buminbly covering n full block of land, but they occupy no more ground than the II. typo, and tho residue Is ono lnrgo useful tract. It can bo built at a cost or about $2500 a room, whereas tho II. two story typo costs about $7500. Tho light ing is obviously castor and tho ven tilation Is Ideal. School rooms can bo convorted Into open air schools by simply opening tho windows. In tho two nnd three story schools thoro is n constant drend of tiro. In tho single story typo It litis boon demon strated that tho school enn bo omp tlcd within ten seconds from tho bounding of tho fire nlnrm; another ndvantago: bo called tiro proof con struction Is unnecessary. Tho high value of wood as a building material Is at once apparent which not only menus lower cost, but adaptlbillty when enlarging or rcmodoling bo comes necessary to meet changing conditions. Tho hollow squaro Is utlllzod for play grounds, partly roofed with gears, where tho chil dren nro In tho open air, under tho oyo of tho teachors nnd nwny from tho dangerous trnlllc of tho Btrcots. Tho nbsonco of stnlrcnses has u ben eficial effect on tho health or many children, especially glrta. There Is less need for building in anticipation of growth in school population al ready exemplified In tho elllclency of tho wooden portable schools, erected on lensed land in newer suuurus, which servo admirably their proper purpose. Tho ono story building readily ndmlts of unit construction with a minimum of fcost Wood Is n mtteilnl or warmth and color which aro grateful to the oyo nnd touch. Wood is an excellent non-eonUitctor.oMieat and cold. In tho life of a child a trco and Its growth aro exemplified In lumiber or various grains nnd texture affords an Inteiestlng atudy or nature, Tho experience of teachors testi fies to the oaso nnd comfort sur round both toucher nnd pupil In tho ono r.tory .school house; It has n "homey" fooilns. It Is less stiff and conventional, and nllowa a great or latitude in design as exemplified In tho California bungalow typo, combining both comfort and art. To tho lumber Interests of tho country tho ono story school build ing should appeal with great forco, Hero Is ft plcco whoro wood is pre eminently cdapted for Its construc tional purposes. Thoro nro hundreds -f new cchool buildings erected each year and there nro a largo number of school buildings constantly ro modeled. Here is an opportunity for trado extons'ou, along practical linos which should bo advanced Bteadlly. City School Superintendent L. II. Alderman, of Portland, has brokon twny from tho conventional school buildings and has liomonstrated tbo value of the ond story school build ing. In speaking with Tho Tlmbor men on tho HUbJcct, Mr. Alderman says: "Stairways ure tho traps whoro children aro caught In.caso of Are or firo panic. Why havo stairways? Thoy are not necessary in school buildings. There, has never been a life lost by firo in a one story school house In the history of tho United States. In our ono story buildings the exits are so arranged that tho children can run out and the entire room be vacated In a few seconds. Tho nervouB tension caused by fear on the part of the teacher is entire ly done away with. "There Is not a teacher In this country who teaches on tho second floor of a two story building or on l. (ljt flnnr nt n tillllfllniT WtlCrG there Is n high basement who does not constantly llvo In fear of a Are. panic. The stairways may bo block-' ed, the door may catch or some child mr.y break the ranks and run b-.ck j Into tho room. Why burden the) teacher with this fear? in a nre drill at the Fulton Park one story cchool nil the children were out or the building In seven seconds after the fire alarm. Resultant Sntlngs Pointed Out. "As to tho question of cost, why spend $7500 a room for a school houBO that will be out of date In 25 yearn at best, when a good, sane, sen sible and beautiful Bchool houso built on tho ono story plan cart bo provid ed for about $2500 c room? Tho cost will range from ono third to one halt of the costs or our recent buildings. "It might bo said that tho one story school takes more land and Is therorore more expensive. Dut the astonishing fact Is thrt'thcre can be mote available piny spaco loft on n 200 root square block with tho new one story type or building than with tho old twp story type. "A 16 room two story building on a 200 toot block leaves very little play ground. Tho building stands in tho mlddlo of tho block and tho mar gin on tho sides Is so narrow that It Is not of much ubo for play. On tho other hand, If tho building Is put on tho outside of tho lot a nquare lo left in tho center for plnyground. Mothers' Worry Considered. "It 1b surprising to see how nar row a margin equals In area a cen tral square. A three Inch framo on a 14 Inch square picture Is larger tu aica than the plctdro ltsolf. Tho school building can bo put whoro tho frnnie la nnd tho centrul playground bo tho picture. Wo And that n ono story building or Btxtecn rooms can be built this way on n 200 root block with a 10 foot passagoway or clois ter on nil cides, and still lenve a play ground court in tho mlddlo of 120 squaro feet. "Think how much moro nt caso mothers or llttlo children nro when thoy know that the children nro not cent out at playtime toward, a busy street, where vehicles race up and down and projectiles such as motor cycles aro shot buck and forth llko cannon balls. If they nre let out in to an open court nil this danger Is done away with. Tho central plny ground can bo better supervised, too, nnd the play thus made moro edu cational. "Tho typo of building has another flnMilnil nrlvnntncvn In flint tlmm la no dlsturbanca when tho pupils in' ono room nre moving. Thcro nro no class rooms nbovo them nor bo- low them to be disturbed. Free Movement Allowed. "Tho greater freedom o( move ment thus allowed r.dds much to tho efficiency of tho cchool. Also, It is n boon to many pupils, girls especial ly, to havo the labor or stair climb ing dono nwny with. "Many variations can bo mndo on tho one story plr.y. In our new buildings there Is no basement un der the class rooms, but there Is a turnnce at ono end or the building. For assembly r.nd for evening meet ings there Is In each building a good sized auditorium on the ground floor. The ralnyday playroom nt Kennedy, Instead of bolng In a bnso ment nnd needing ono more set of stclrs, Is simply n prrt of a court roofed over nnd sky lighted an open nlr space, dry under foot, an Idenl playroom for our climate. "Why not build school buildings for school purposes and not for monuments? Why build them high Just because school buildings hnvo been built high In the pnBt? Let us build ono story .buildings because thoy spare nnxloty, preserve health, secure better school work, save mon ey nnd tsvo life." MOCKS TO LEAVE. C. J.
