Whether pupils in our public schools receive more benefit by having their lessons assigned at school and doing their studying at home than they do by study ing under the guidance of exper ienced teachers while at the school during the day has been the subject of much discussion and the State press has taken up the matter, some papers taking one side and others the nega tive. Prof. Chas. M. Staley, superintendent of the Hickory City Schools, writes the Char lotte Observer his view 3 and practices as follows: "For the last three or four years the pupils in the schools of Hickory have done their study ing at school under the direct supervision of the teachers. The result is that under this method the pupils are doing more and better work than under the oth-1 er method. A much larger per centage of the pupils are pro moted at the end of the year tnan when the children prepared their lessons at heme, or when pa did the work. -J'The school day is no longer in the schools of Hbkory than in the schools where only recitation work is done —less than four hours of actual school work in the primary grades, and less than five hours in the more ad vanced grades. In none of the grades do the pupils have in any one day more than five recita tions that require preparation beforehand, in the grammar grades one hour is given to each essential subject. 30 minutes for recitation and 30 minutes for studying the lesson for the next day. In these grades the daily schedule calls for a lesson in arithmetic, a lessonin language, a lesson in history, geography, or physiology, two lessons in spelling, one oral and one wri ten. and a lesson in writing or drawing, "This method has greatly in creased the efficiency of the work done in the schools. Tne conclusion is reached upon a con sideration of the amount and and thoroughness of the work done, and the development of independent study, self-reliance, and initiative on the part of the pupils themselves. "When the stduying is done at school the teacher can give tne pupil just the amount of help necessary, When the prepara tion is made at home too many parents do the studying while the children stand by and enjoy the run, Every one will admit that pupils should be trained to habits of perseverence, self-reli ance and initiative. "Actual exDerience has shown that pupils will study their les sons to better advantage at school than they will at home. The reason for this is easily seen. Not all parents are famili ar with the principles of peda gogy and the best methods of teaching how to study. The many distractions at home pre vent children from concentra ting their luinds on their lessons. The home atmosphere is very different from that of the school room. "Wherever the method of hav ing pupils do their studying at school has been tried, there is a strong sentiment in its favor on the part of parents, teachers and pupils themselves."

GAINS 12 POUNDS IN SIXTEEN DAYS { Had Spent Hundreds of Dollars to Get Relief. * "The main fault with me now is that I sleep so soundly in the mornings that, I can't hear the alarm clock." said Mr. S. 0. Ka bas, the popular proprietor of the Astor Cafe, located at 31 South Tryon street, Charlotte. "My principal trouble had been nervousness and stomach trouble. I neyer slept soundly at nights, awakening at all hours and re maining awake for long periods at a time. My nerves were all out of order, and slight noises or excitement, which formerly did : not disturb me, almost upset me completely. "My digestion was also affected and I was almost what you would call a nervous dyspeptic. "My stomach was in a very bad shape; in fact, I haven't been able to enjoy a heeity meal for twelve year?. I have spent hun dreds of dollars to try to get re lief. But Tanlac has done the work for me when all other med icines have failed. Since taking the Tanlac treatment I nave gained twelve pounds, my nerves and appetite are just fine. lam in a better shape than I have been for years. I can't speak too highly of this medicine and I will recommend same to all mv friends." No other medicine has been quite as successful as Tanlac. The sale is unprecedented. The reason is obvious—clear. Tanlac contains real merit. It is a medi cine that appeals to the best peo everywhere, men and women, who judge it impartially. The result is always a Tanlac verdict. People who take Tanlac once invariably return for the second bottle.

Herman, 600 Chestnut Ave., Hickory, says: "My back was so lame that I couldn't do my work, a sharp catch darted through my loins and shoulders and I also had pains in my hips, which extended into my limbs and feet and sometimes my an kles were so swollen I couldn't put on my shoes. My whole body bloated and doctor's said my kidnevs were out of order, They didn't seem able to do me any good, however, and I was laid up for about a year.

E. de F. Heald (Continued From Last Week.) There remains to be mentioned the made-to-order kind of entertainments. These are fak*s, pure and simple, to catch the unwary. The silly, vapid, would-be-rapid American youth and his elder brother the accomplishedrake may be smart enough to steer cl«ar of "green goods" at home, but they oft en are victimized by the Parisian shark with his furtive solicitation to visit pla ces strange if not dark. And I know of nothing more sickening than to see some of our women beguiled into vis iting a certain kind of'"Cafe Chateaut" or something worse, not typically Paris - ian, merely sordid and low. Apropos of these considerations of the fringe of society or of the nether world itself a certain phase of true Pa risian life deserves passing mention — 'La Vie de Boheme." It has been immortalized in Murger's novel, and Mimi,'' "La Boheme" par excel lence has become a type. There are attempts to make a Bohe mia in New York, but the "Tender loin" is not a good counterfeit. "La Vie de Boheme" courses in the blood of a certain type of Parisian. It always has a redeeming factor—a warmth of human sympathy. New York's Bohe mia, despite its admixture of the For eign, is cold, hard, and unreal — as all affectations are. London's Leicester Square and Soho are much more like the real thing. The old "Quartier Latin" life has, I believe, largely passed away; American art students may have displaced it, and driven it high up into the Montmaru section to the North and East. At least there Charpentier pictures the survival in his kaleidoscope opera "Louise." In still another quarter where gay lifi abounds we can picture the brief reign of that third pathetic figure, the lovely but misguided and erring Manoa Lescant. On the other side of the world is the socially aristocracy, and the term pri marily applies to the society of the Fanbonrg St. Germain. "Fanbourg St. Germain" ii untranslatable—the. old Washington Square and lower Fifth Avenue set in New York, and the "Cave Dwellers" in Washington are the nearest thing to it with us in America. Not the *'4oo" or the "smart set" now so largely recruited from the "new rich" —distinctly not; but the coveted goal of many tinctured or dominated by social ambition. Mrs. Wharton describes it very clever ly, it would seem, in the latter part of her remarkable novel, "The Custom of the Country.'* Her heroine, you will recall, has her fling first in the "Smart Set" of the Champs Elysies and Avenue du Bois de Boulogne neighborhood; but finds it short of the real thing, socially speaking, and rests not until she forces the portals of the proud world on the left bank of the Seine, and makes her way into the life and precincts of the Sacvosanct. Pedigrees very long and traditions very vunerable here remain intact and un disturbed, save Dy an occasional for eign marriage, an infusion of American blood. Though American girls are mcstly brought into touch with the more brilliant but less exclusive life of the newer Paris, where money is as in all new places the "open sesame," Many an old French family still maintains its quiet dignity, aloofness and unpretentiousness, its true ele gance. hid away behind massive dou ble barred doors, down in the quiet Rue St, Dominique and de Varenno, across the river. Their season in town is a veryjjshort one; the rest of the year, except perhaps for a "cute" at some typical French Spring, is spent in more natural country life with some necessary retrenchments in expenses House Robbed While attending the funeral a few days ago of his brother, robbers entered the home of Mr. Solomon Fulbright, broke open a trunk and stole what money they could find.

Under the careful economy cf the French their often very modest fortunes go . a long way. Americans simply can't do it—so "intense" is our mode of high living. Far less characteristic and interest ing is that section of high life with its sayor of the race course, the gamine table, and other extremes of pleasure seeking. It entirely lacks that court ly bearing and stately poise of the "ancien regime" which is never bla tant, ostentatious or flamboyant. With these, it is to be feared rather slight and skelthy pages, we must leave our subject today —save for a conclud ing paragraph. No place of note and character can ever be merely known, rationally, in tellectually known—known about. It must be felt, lived, truly to be knowo. Cities of the old world have their dis tinctive quality. They are to be un derstood in terms other than of form, size and outward appearance.
