Brushing- Baby's Teeth "When should a child begin to use a toothbrush?" You should use a soft brush on baby's teeth after the first six teeth are cut. You can use plain water, 'or use a little bicarbonate of soda j (cooking soda) in the water, brush ing after each feeding. After the ' child reaches the age of four or five years, he should be taught to brush his teeth. Bicarbonate of soda (cooking soda) or salt can be put in the water used to brush the teeth. They are .ilist as good us expensive tooth paste. The bought tooth pastes taste better, and may have a great deal to do with making the brushing a pleasant ! ration. Clean teeth seldom de ay.

C„ Jan. -•>. Tlii; is legislative year in 12 States. Many ■ ! ii'.'iv laws pertaining to schools will j lie enacted. Indications are iliat a greater number »>f legislatures will ■ consider the enaetment of laws ex • acting higher qualifications for teach • ers' ccrtifi'atos than ever before. State certification laws are of spe • till importance tii rural school of ■ licials and parents of rural children i since they represent the only insur -1 ante against the employment of >m . qualified teachers. Upon the etlic- I iency of the teachers depends to a groat extent the opportunity for an 1 education which rural children have. Naturally every parent is interest ed in securing the most progressive jtype of legislation possible for the regulation of teacher certification. During the war years standards were lowered because of the scarcity of : applicants for teaching positions. . The emergency is now over and dis ! regard of professional standards is no longer necessary. Indeed, reports to the Bureau of Education indicate that the supply of teachers is now more nearly adequate to (ill the de mand than for many years. High school enrollment has increased dur ing the past ten years in an un precedented manner. There are plenty of high school graduates anxi ous to prepare themselves to be teachers. In view of these facts, many State superintendents are pro posing to the legislatures now in session that they provide laws which gradually raise certification require ments until a minimum of high school graduation plus two years of professional preparation of higher grade is reached. Already several States have set that as their goal for 1!'27 or 11'2X. Increasing Demands Create Pressing Problems. Those who live in the open coun try are attending high schools in rapidly increasing numbers. Small high schools have been established to meet the need and demand of this population group until now more than SO per cent of all high schools are located in the open country or in villages of less than 2,500 popula tion. These schools enroll on an average •>'.» pupils each, compared villi an average enrollment of .7.10 for other high schools. Studies, in -everal States recently hnvi shown that these small schools are much more expensive than large schools, in spite of the fact that gen. ral standards are much lower in the I-mail school.'-, A typical State r- | )'uits that school" enrolling "■"> to ' pupils ea ll cost li'.l per colli more I for each pupil in average daily at- Itemlanci than schools enrolling 2iit» :to "'in pupils. Cine State reimrts la small high school operating at an : expense of over $1,1:52 for each pupil in average daily attendance. When it is considered that many commun ities are not yet served by local high schools and that not more than one ihird of the children of high school I age are now enrolled it is evident that the maintenance of a sutlicient number of high schools to accom modate all rural chilreii, and organ ized as city high schools are, v ault! prove a serious financial burden. Is it necessary to operat • such schools? The answer means nu-iy millions of dollars yearly. Fresh Air For the Children. Proper ventilation of school build ings is essential. Fifteen per cent of the high school juniors, in a study recently made, stated that the school could help more than it does to de velop health habits by looking a r tt r ventilation more carefully. Of those stating ways in whicn the school tends to produce ill health, 10 per cent mentioned "poor ventilation." Pupils want fresh tir. Twenty-one per cent of the 15,075 answering in cluded "fresh air" among the "three best health habits possessed." This recreation-including group placed it second only to "plenty of exercise." Small rural schools meet the re quirements by providing ventilating heaters or satisfactorily jacketed stoves with adequate fresh air inlets anil foul air outlets. Some have furnaces, gravity exhaust ducts, and window boards at the majority of the windows. The window boards are frequently panes of glass one foot high set as deflectors in the window sash. These, properly regu lated, serve ventilation needs ad mirably. According to experiments perform ed under the direction of the Now \ ork Stale Ventilation Commission, window-ventilated rooms with gravi ty exhausts seemed fresher and freer from odor and more comfortable as to temperature than rooms cquiped with more expensive fan system. The appetite for food is consider ably decreased as a result of breath ing stale air. Malnutrition and ill health retard pupils. The tempera ture of the room affects the vigor of pupils. A reliable thermometer in plain view of the teacher's desk should register a room temperature SPECIAL NOTICES !

The lower stimulating temperature, together with an air ehatige, without chilling drafts, suf ficient to remove the accumulation of bodily odor-, is most favorable for study. School boards should provide proper ventilating equipment. Teach ers should learn how to regulate it. Prevention Mather Than Correction, l'.rrois once madi by a child are i not wholly blotted out of his mind. lie tends t" repeat tl.cin and to con tinue relating them until they be came firmly fixed bad habits. As far as possible, schools shoubl try so to i direct the child that there will be a minimum of mistakes in hi- work a?nl he will not be led into the for mation of i'a ilty physical and mental habits. , These wet,- the conclusions reached by two of the sneakers at the recent m. cting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, concerning the teaching of spelling and algebra. I>r. (lurry Myers, of the ( leveland School of Kducation, studied children's mistakes in spell ing and fount! that if a word was mispelled once the same error would probably occur again and the amount of work then necessary to learn the word correctly was much greater thalt it would have been had the child not made the original error. A similar experiment was carried on by Flora L. Scott, who followed up the errors made in a series of alge bra problems to see whether the mis takes made by any pupil had no ap parent connection with each other or whether in answering the same prob lem the pupil repeated the same mis takes. Out of 200 sets of answers containing more than one error she found that in 108 sets or 81 per cent the errors were repeated. Both speakers conclude that much valu ble time and effort can be saved in the schools if mistakes are prevent ed rather than corrected. Kentucky Improves Itural Schools Ity Standardization. Kentucky has recently adopted a State-wide plan for improving, by standardization, its more than 7,000 one, two, ami three-teacher schools. Approximately loo.ntio rural school children attend these schools. The suggestions and regulations regard ing the plan are set forth in a pham phlet entitled "Kentucky Rural School Standards," prepared under the direction of the State superinten dent. The pamphlet says that the State, in justice to the present generation of country school children can not tolerate the present low grade of efficiency of the small rural school; that the greatest need in the cam pnign for rural school improvement is some practical way of evaluating the different elements in the make up of an efficient school; and that a few standard schools in each county will awaken the civic conscience and open the public purse to the end that country children may enjoy the edu cational advantages to which they are justly entitled. According to the Kentucky plan the main points to WANTED— A reliable white man want injur to make $lO to S7O weekly in Stokes county selling Whitmer's complete line Home Remedies, Extracts, Toil et Articles, Soaps.

Improving rural schools by stand ardization is not new. More than two-thirds of the States have adopt ed similar plans for increasing the efficiency of the small rural schools. Reports issued by departments of education in these States indicate that standardi;:a'.ion improves physi cal conditions, raises the qualilica tions of tcaihers, increases school j attendance, and stimulates inteiv -Z in the s. h «.l> on the part of 'he communities. Do iiural Teachers Itelie'e la Super* ision. The .Maryland State Department of Kdueation recently published a bulletin giving a number of intere-t --ing replies to the question, "What, do the teachers of Maryland think is being accomplished by the super vision of teaching?" The following extracts taken from the replies of seven teachers are typical: "The supervisor is often more aware of the school than the teacher herself." "The beginning teacher and the ex perienced teacher in outlaying dis tricts need more than anything else some one who understands anil can cheer the teacher on her way." "To discontinue supervision would mean a loss to taxpayers of our county in the less effective work of the inexperienced teachers, the care less work of indifferent ones and in loss of inspiration to the hardwork ing, conscientious group of teachers." "The supervisor keeps me in touch with the work being done in the othwr er schools in my county and witnV the activities of the State at large." "This makes my second year of teaching and I feel that the progress I have made is due to the encourag ing, words, the helpful methods, and the wise judgment of my supervis or." ' « ;gf| "I have taught school for 35 years. For years 1 measured my self by my self which is the poorest measure to use. During my two years' teaching under supervision I have found new means by whit h to measure my work." "Supervision aids a teacher in tind ing her weak and strong points, and does more toward overcoming the weak points and strengthening the strong ones than does any other thing in the school life." Bonde Bess The office shit k says I couldn't tell a lie in a year but I knew that was one the moment it was uttered." Not In Market Grocer: "We have some very fine j alligator pears today." Young Bride: "Silly. We haven't | even got a goldfish yet."
