TO TRAP JUNE BUGS.
A plague of June Bugs is all over
the land and unless ageneral cam
paign is made against these nuisan
ces gardens and flower beds are
certain to suffer. An easily made
trap is to put a lighted lantern., a
partially filled pail of hater. into
which the insects drop by the
thousands. This means that many
of the females are destroyed, thus
preventifng the laying of millions
of •

DANDELI • NS ON THE GRASS.
Dandelions have been im their
glory the past week or so. The
Agricultural Colleges give recipes t
for their extinction :which are
rather difficult for the average
citizen to carry out. The most o
effective (means 'for (curtailing
their ravages is to sow lawn grass f
seed generously over ,the lawn s
early each spring. This not only s
diminishes the dandelions but gen- f
erally ,thickens the turf of the
lawn. The season for the dande-
lion 5s about over, They will cause
little mord trouble this summer.
A fly has natural enemies. The most
persistent and most effective should be

It costs less to buy a screen door
than to get sick and lay off for a
month.
It's a short haul from the garbage
can to the' dining table via the fly
route.
If at first you don't succeed, swat,

One of the largest wool merchants
is sending out notices to buyers
that this year the dealers will be
very strict regarding the sorting
of wool. Wool should be unwashed
this, year, but they will buy accord-

that •they absolutely refuse to ac-

be ,too careful in caring for ,their
wool this season.
ONTARIO FRUIT.
Fruitgrowers all over the district

that not for many years have they

History for Third Classes

Perhaps no subject on our curric•
alum so requires the lecture method
as does history, and yet T fear that
we, as Withers, are too prone to hear
our own voices and tell too much. We
forget that by comparisons and con-
trasts of different periods and char-
acters even our junior pupils can draw
correct conclusions and inferences. •
The work as prescribed by the Ed,
ucation department for third Classes
=uprises the most important events
of British and Canadian History, the
important current events, the ale•
menta of Ontario's civilgovernment
and the duties of citizenship.
With beginners"in History the Oral

story have been narrated. and devel-
oped, one or more pupils may be asked
to reproduce it, usiog the teacher's
sketchee or illustrations. If the repro
duction is satisfactory and shows that
the pupils have grasped the important
parts of the story, they may he asked
for desk or home work to read another
v inion, of the same story in some
book or magazine named by the pm
pils, or the text hooks of Form IV
may to borrowed and the story read
in school. During this reading, the
summary may be lett on the black
board, 00 copied neatly in the pupils
note books. This special note book
has the advantage of being the pupil's
own work in the chase, is a record of
what he has already decided to he im-
port int points is arranged in the order
in which the subject has been treated
and is superior to the notebooks some
times used as aids or helps. For the
proper teaching of history the latter
are hindrances rather than helps, he
cause they rob the pupil of the profit
gained by doing work for himself.
However the teacher will require to
keep a close oversight on these note
hooks No careless work .+hould be
accepted. and no absentees allowed to
leave planks for the classes missed
Special review lessons should be to
ken when a series of lessons bas been
finished, or when a series of connected
topics has been completed. At the
close of each lesson the facts
learned are fixed more firmly in the
mind by the usual drill but there
must be further organizations of the
several lessons by a proper review.
This may be accomplished by many
ways.
1. By questioning the class from a
point of view different from that taken
in the first lesson.
2. By oral or written expansion of
a topic.
3. By illustrations with maps or
di swings.
4. By tracing the sequence of ev
ents backwards,
`5. By submitting some new situa
tion that will recall the old knowledge
in a different way.

The review' gives an opportunity
for drill on dates None of us would
dare to go back to thepld method
of using dates like pegs whicivto
band all important events, neither
is at wise to neglect teaching
dates entirely A child of nine or
ten has rather vague notions of
time distances and to tell him that.
the Peace of Paris 'vas signed in
1763 may not have such' real mean-
ing for hem. Nevertheless he
should be thoroughly drilled on
important dates, and in ;iter
years he will be able to realize
more clearly the time spaces they
represent. A review by dates es a
useful seat exercise and while it
would become !too mechanical if
used ,too often still even int' such
a subject as history, a mechan:.cal
drill has its place.

If we give a merchant our custom, we have
a right to expect him to advertise—to tell
us weekly in the columns of The New Era
what he has for us. Advertising is shop
news, designed to inform us, save our time
and bring to our attention destrable mer•
chandise.
Every retailer who is alive to the interests
of his customers has a message—often
many messages—for his customers con-
cerning new goods, special offerings, and
things we ought to know about. Custom-
ers and non -customers will be attentive
and responsive to these messages, if they
are delivered every week in the form of

A WORD TO MERel-IAN1'S
Would you buy much or regularly from
firms that never solicit your trade ? Do
you not say—"The firm that wants my
business must come after it ?"
Yet some of you, in effect, to your cus-
tomers—"We're here. If you want our
goods, come and get them, but don't ex-
pect us to go after you." It's a poor rule
that doesn't work both ways.
