eld 1 a fair rm and light / im lark ne#s ‘A N mb N A Iy A% 10 Arms, furniture, jewelry and gems have come down to u«s from distanrt ages, to show their makers‘ skill in earving, while pottery in a hundred varied patterns and even bits of decorated plaster, have served â€"to prove the cunning of the earliest Greek fingers with the brush; not to forget those more homely arts of the loom and embroideryâ€"frame which Homer loves to describe and for which the Athenian women became so famous in the making of Athens‘ zacred peplos. Although some of these products of art are unfortunately lost to us forever through the perishableness of their material, and others are not nearly so well preserved among the ruins of ancient Athens as they are at other places, existing chiefly in tiny fragments that have lodges in the crevices of rock, there are enough evidences to show that these arts did exist in Homeric Athens, and â€" comâ€" pare quite favorably with those of Agamennon‘s princely abode. If it is not going too far to draw one more illustration from the better preserved monuments of the Atreid capital, we may restore a scene upon the Athenian Acropolis with details borrowed from the ruins and the lines of Homer. We must picture the lordly abode of the Athenian princes as something far more than an aggregation of massive walls and colonnaded courts. Those walls, severe and plain withâ€" out, blazed within a revetment of euriously wrought metal or brilliantly colored plaster. The doors, incased in beaten bronze, swung upon hinges of the same maâ€" terial; the handles, too, were richly wrought in gold or silver. The walls were massy brass; the cornice high Blue metals crowned in colors of the sky ; Rich plates of gold the fading doors incase The pillars silver on a brazen base: Silver the lintels deep projecting o‘er ; And gold the ringlets that command the door. If this famous description of the house of Alcinous, from Homer‘s Odyssey, were our only warrant for imagining this lavish use of beaten metal with enrichments in gold and silver many would doubtless be disâ€" posed to say that the Homeric picâ€" ture was drawn from the realm of pure imagery although the very mention of these methods of decoraâ€" tion and the poets‘ minute description of the exquisitenes:s of the craftsâ€" manship with which they are applied are enough to prove beyond a doubt the existence of such modes of archiâ€" tectural adornment in their day. But these elaborate and brilliant poetical reprodu«tions have been brought from the regions of doubt or mere probaâ€" bility into the «ull light of fact by the wellâ€"known discoveries of Myceâ€" The Age of Bronze Meby ye + * "This fashion of covering walls cfl stone with metal plates, which seems to have been the most ancient form of mural decorations in Greeceâ€"emâ€" ployed even before painted plasterâ€" and which characterizes the Homeric period of art as an age of bronze, was in all probability imported from the East. There is an Asiatic ring about such lavish use of metals sugâ€" gestive of Phcenician art, which deâ€" lighted to cover everything with plates of metal â€" suggestive also of the brazen pillars and other works of brass which Hiram, King of Tyre, made for the temple of Solomon, for Hiram was a man "skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in jron, in stone, and in timber, in purâ€" ple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in erimson; also to grave any manner of graving." It was, moreover, from Phcenicia that bronze came into Greece, partly by way of Asia Minor, but more especially by way of Cyâ€" prus.â€"From "The Story of Athens," by Howard Crosby Butler.

I would simply have to fight for my breath for about 20 minutes. _ But now that has all gone, thanks to Kruschen. I have lost 14 lbs. in weight, and am able to get about in comfort, I can work all day and not feel tired. I feel so much better, and am so pleased to have lost some of the fat that was steadily gaining ground with me, and ruining my general health."â€"(Miss) There are six vital mineral salts in Kruschen, These salts combat the cause of fat by assisting the internal organs to perform their functions properlyâ€"to throw off each day those waste products and poisons which, if allowed to accumulate, will be conâ€" verted by the body‘s chemistry into fatty tissue, Unlike ordinary aperiâ€" ents, Kruschen does not confine its action to a single part of the system.

Finds Intelligence Intelligence â€" quotients â€" of school children are frequently dependent on physical conditions, and many chilâ€" dren who are rated "slow" by intelâ€" ligence tests can attain a higher mark after a few weeks of treatâ€" ment, according to a study being conâ€" ducted by Dr. Daniel R. Hodgdon, instructor in the elementary educaâ€" tion departments of New York Uniâ€" versity Summer School. Dr. Hodgdon has found that codâ€" liver oil, orange juice and milk proâ€" duced a noticeable change in the maâ€" jority of malnourished children he studied. He â€" reports that â€" after twenty weeks of these foods, as supâ€" plements to their regular diets, the children became more alert, physi. cally responsive and coâ€"operative. The children who had been rated "slow", Dr. Hodgdon found, scored an average of ten points better on the intelligence tests after being given dictary treatment from Octoâ€" ber to June. _ When the treatment was discontinued during the Sumâ€" ‘mer vacation the same children scorâ€" ed 4.$ points less than they had in ‘June. Children â€"rated "a>mal" on the tests gained an average of 3.8 points between October and June, and drop. ped 5.4 points below their _ June scores when school opened in Sepâ€" tember, Dr. Hodgdon said. There was little change in the scores of children with low I. Q.s. Dr. Hodgdon â€"recommended _ that school boards provide wellâ€"trained individuals to examine children critiâ€" cally from the standpoint of mental and physical subnormality and that in ‘thé l'atter case they provide speciâ€" ally trained teachers and special con. ditions to correct them.

That plan is said to have incorporated many features of the "Dalton plan," originated by Miss Helen Parkhurst, headmistress of the Dalton School of New York City. Certain features are now said by the Soviet educational authorities to produce undesirable habits in the pupils. Soviet Tests "Dalton Planâ€" Founder Comments on Results Miss Parkhurst has outlined her plan in a book, "Education on the Dalton Plan." It has theso outstanâ€" ding characteristics: 1. The pupil is accorded a large amount of freedom in the performâ€" ance of his tasks. 3. Extonsive group activity is unâ€" dertaken to develop the social sense. 2. A large amount of individual responsibility is imposed on him. 4. Subjects are taught by the laâ€" boratory method, the emphasis being more on the habits of work than on the matter learned. 5. The child himself is made a reâ€" corder of his own progress, examinaâ€" tions being regarded as unimportant. To Miss Parkhurst the plan gives the child the opportunity for selfâ€"disâ€" cipline, rather than an imposed disâ€" cipline, which makes him "grow into a harmonious, responsible being, able and willing to lend himself conscious-‘ ly to coâ€"operation with his fellows for their common beneft." 1 Russia‘s Criticisms. The Soviet authorities, according to the cables, have concluded that the selfâ€"discipline and lack of defnite checks on pupil activitiee have reâ€" sulted in widespread cribbing. The older methods are therefore to be reâ€" introduced. The authority of the teaâ€" cher and his responsibility for discipâ€" line, together with the right to expel recalcitrant pupils, are, according to the dispatches to be restored, and so aro individual ratings and _ compulâ€" sory examinations,. The curriculum, too, while keeping some of the innovations, such as the study in fields and workshops, introâ€" duced after the revolution, and physâ€" ics, will revert more to the traditional subjects of reading, writing, grammar, arithmetic and so on. Favors Shorts Miss Parkhurst comments on the change in the Russian plan as follows: It is clear that the Soviet Comâ€" munist party has issued an edict makâ€" ing a significant departure from the communistic theory of education, folâ€" lowed since the inception of the Soviet regime, in favor of a more individuâ€" alized scheme of education, thus abâ€" olishing group instruction in the eleâ€" mentary and secondary â€" schools of Russia. Since 1918 I have read with a great deal of interest and curiosity the reâ€" ports of the application of the Dalton plan in Russian schools, Never hayâ€" ing been in Russia to observe at first hand the application of my ideas, 1 have had to depend upon written re Freedom in School ‘ It seems to me that in all probaâ€" bility what has happened in Russia is that the school curriculum, adoptâ€" ed as an integral part of the Fiveâ€" Year plan, has now been found to be ‘inadequate. During the past five ‘years the workers of Russia have be | come thoroughly indoctrinated and inâ€" ‘formed â€" regarding their _ Fiveâ€"Year | Plan. ‘They are now well able to |‘ inform their children regarding the ISoviet program, and naturally demand Ithat traces of illiteracy, as manifestâ€" l ed by a lack of ability in the tools \ of learnings, and acquired under the i mechanized Fiveâ€"Year Plan, be reâ€" ; moved. ports and information brought me by Russian and American educationists. However, not a single report or inâ€" terview has ever convinced me that the Dalton plan was really applied. Subjects vs. Experience. A wholesale attempt was made to introduce this curriculum by means of the project method. The Five Year Plan itself was the curriculum of the Soviet school system. Now, after five years, it is very possible that the Soviets find that the residâ€" ume of the more formal school, such as reading, writing and arithmetic, provides the necessary toois for every child‘s education. These subjects, while not as imporâ€" tant as experience in the development of personality, are nevertheless esâ€" sential. A curriculum is not habits, nor is a curriculum tools, But the manner in which a child lives while doing the work provided for in the curriculum makes for either an inteâ€" grated or disintegrated individual, one either disciplined or undisciâ€" plined. To build habits by living one way in school and another way outside sets up conflict, and results in a disintegrated character. Life outside holds a job for every individual, therefore the Daiton plan provides a job for every pupil, aims to prepare him to accept responsibility and beâ€" come resourceful in any personal, communal or national crisis.

The animals offered for demonstraâ€" tion, proved to be very wormy and the sight of large quantities of tape worm being removed from the inâ€" testines brought forth the comment "this is surely an eyeopener", "I would not believe had I not seen it". That man that tried to raise the lambs that were used for post morâ€" tem demonstration, wapuld not believe what had been told him about his lambs being wormy, on the previous day. But the sight of yards and yards of tapeworm beirg removed from his lambs thoroughly convincâ€" ed him. If the lambs in your fiock are not doing well, there is a reaâ€" son.
