At school little giris in the manual training classes are as deft at whitâ€" tling as the lads; brother whacked the whole end of one finger, while sister only cut a slice from har knuckle twice. In later life she learned to crochet beautiful afghans for the babies and splendid _ socks for the wounded French but she never took the pride in the maturer feminine accomplishâ€" ments that she did in the rickety litâ€" tle footstool mother always kept in the den. A king regards his crown with no more assumption of its masculine prerogatives and personal perquisâ€" ites than the average man does the hammer. 4 M One can think of no occupation which has come down more strongly earmarked by sex prerogative than carpentering. For a young wife to tighten a loose screw on the ce chest with a silver butter knife is a naturâ€" al proceeding, but for her to remove the old screw with one of her husâ€" band‘s carpentering tools, select a larger screw in order to more than fill the old hole, and finishing off the job with merely nominal mechan lcal skill, is positively forward in In the mind‘s eye of the ordinary husband a hammer grows, not on the end of a handle but on the back of his hip pocket. Nor 'll! you, . 'Ig- out adequate demonstrations, be able to make him think otherwise. _ _ Even down on the farmf;"where a woman does so much that is . manly labor, she would never feel called upon, while pausing between the baking of ten pies indoors and the sowing of an acre _ lot in garden "sass", to knock together so much as a rickety hencoop for herself. _‘ ‘The men would do that when they came in. For her to use hammer and nails would be, to her way of thinkâ€" ing. a betrayal of her sex and to her husband‘s, an infringing on his. . And yet, as many a rural home knows no one is better fitte; to do "odd jobs" around the house, armed with hammer and saw, than just such‘a woman, for she isthe one to whom, after long practice with imâ€" plements not erected as monuments to llh theory of labor . saving, the schemes for helpful devices would HOW I SAYE SRENGTH AXD TDIE oX wAsHDPAY I think one of the hardest jobs a furm woman has, especially If there are small children and men to cook for, is the washing.

Wheat, corn, rice and oats, are the most widely used; cats and cornâ€" meal having more fat than other cereals are particularly desirable for winter: foods, although experience has proven th:.t catmeal mush is acâ€" ceptable for active children all the year round. Cornmeal and oats are valuable in the diet when the menu lacks meat. Whole or coarse grains are imâ€" proved and require less time for cooking by soaking in cold water; very fine grains may be mixed with cold water before adding to the boilâ€" ing water to prevent the formation of lamps. All others should be added slowly to the boiling water, Add one teaspoon of salt to each quart of ‘nur.ud. The rolled grains require two cups of water to each cu pof cereal; ordinary oatmeal, granulated . wheat, cornmeal and rice require four cups of water to each cup of cereal; hominy and cracked wheat . require five cups of water to each cup of rapid and the upper part of the douâ€" bie boiler should be placed directly on the stove and the cereal added and cooked five minutes. ‘Then put the boiler over the hot water, cover and cook the required length of time without stirring. Cereais are not ‘m-mumnm-mwflofl than the directions call for.. For Gruel It is most important that the eookâ€" ing of the cereal be long enough to change the starch to a nearly soluble condition, ‘otherwise it will be inâ€" digestible. A good rule is to cook them until the cereal forms a jellyâ€" like mass It is desirable to offer a variety of cereals. _ The family may easily tire of one variety served too often. Most cooked cereals may n moulded, sliced and fried, and may served with either syrup or eaten with meats, A portion of cooked céreal may . replace an equal amount of flour in making muffins or griddle |uhl. A 7 Dates, raisins, prunes, dried apâ€" ples, apples, apricots and figs, chopâ€" ped and lightly stirred into the cerâ€" eal just before serving, makes a pleasing variety. Cream is the logiâ€" ‘ml accompaniment to the breakfast cereal since it supplies the fat in \vhkh many are the grains deficient. Here is another . household preâ€" scription . embodying the . remedial .â€"Itâ€"canâ€"do â€"no â€"harm,â€" even though it may not be the sovereign cureall the correspondent believes it will prove. «_ 6 F * Toa ‘During the months when wa find pneumonia prevalent one may offer a helping hand, when medicinal power has been exhausted. | am asking that you make use of this recipe in your valuable column. _ It is for a most excellent poultice which has been the lifeâ€"saver in many cases, Take six onions, chop fine, put into a large spifler over a hot fire; add vinegar and rye meal enough to form a thick paste. Stir it thoroughly, letting it simmer from five to ten minutes. Put into cotton bag large en.ugh to cover the lungs and apply to the chest as hot as the patient can bear. In about ten minutes change the poultice, and thus continue reâ€" heating the poultice. In a few hours the patient will be out of danger, ‘ ‘This simple remedy has never failâ€" ed to cure this too often fatal malady. Usuually two or threa applications will be sufficient, but continte alâ€" ways until perspiration starts freely from the chest. This remedy was romulated many years ago by one of the best physicilans New England has ever known.

This condition can be remedieq only by (1): an efficient teacher, (2) More interest in education by parents and (3) an .efficient attendance . officer, A Provincial Attendance Officer has been appointed to superintend the work of the local attendunce officers, and to take measures to improve the attendance of pupils. Comparing the attendance this year with that of last year, I find tit the daily attendâ€" ance is § per cent. of the total enrollâ€" ment higher in the rural schools than last year and 15 per cent. higher in the urban schools. This is a fairly satisfactory increase and is due to m re efficient work of the Truant Officers, and to the effective work of the County ‘Truant\Officer. In my visits to the schools during the past year I have found a number of children . attending . school who are mentally defective, or very backâ€" ward in their classes. ‘These childâ€" | ren are not only a great .problem for teachers, but they are not capâ€" ‘able of profiting by the ordinary schoo! education. There should be m special school for such classes where they could be taught by speâ€" clalists in that kind of work, and where the course of studies would develop whatever latent powers they may have. ‘This is one phase of our educational system that will require attention in the future, if we are to raise the standard of our citizenship to the highest level. ‘The problem is receiving the attention of the Eduâ€" cation Department and it is hoped that solution will be. found. Agriculture in the Schools ‘The number of Schools teaching agriculture is now 22. Last year it was 16. This work can be made ver ybeneficial to a school and to a section, but results are not satisfacâ€" tory in some schools for two reasons. First the teacher has not a sufficient knowledge of the subject, or is not practical enough to make it a sucâ€" cess. Second there is opposition to the work on the part of parents or trustees, who perhaps have not given the matter sufficient thought. Our education in the past has been too much confined to books, and has pot given enough seope to the activities and interests of the pupiis. The whole tendency of the present time is toward the practical, and for that reason as well as for many other reaâ€" sons agriculture should be taught in every rural school. There were five school fairs held in this County in 1919 as follows: Niagara Township at Queenston. Grantham _ Township at No. . 2 School. l S Louth Township ft No. 3 School. _ ViÂ¥@and ‘Township.at Vineland. Gainsboro Township at Bismarck. ‘These fairs were all very successâ€" ful, and have been the means of arousing interest in schools, besides being a great benefit to the pupils. It is proposeq to establish two more Fairs in 1920; one in Caistor and one in Clinton. It is also proposed to move the Vineland Fair to the Thirty School, or to GRIMSBY Park, and inâ€" elude in it the schools below the mountain and along the edge of the mountain. i Change in Insvectorate and Number of Teachers _ > Mental Defectives and Backward In January, 1919, the Inspectorates in this Peninsula were . readjusted and this Inspectorate now includes Lincoln County only. This change has been very satisfactory as it makes it necessary for the Inspector to mae reports for one County only. the number of teachers in the Inâ€" spectorate before the change was 135. After the change there were 107 teachers, but during the year 8 teach ers have been added in she various schools and there are now 115. There are likely to be several more teachers addeq this year. Promotion Examinations In June the promotion examinaâ€" tions were held for the first time, and the results have been highly satâ€" isfactory. While it is not intended that teachers will be guided ouult_v_ly SWn Pomenmno Pn tre d I by the results of those examinations in making promotions, it is much easier for teachers _ to keep their classes at the proper standard, and it also gives the pupils an incentive to do better work.
