' Cantle -tied from PageOpe. ject. The results of such teaching create interest among the pupils, re- moves the monotony and leads the. class into open field of discovery. Miss M. E. Ross, of the local High School, gave an instructive and, in- spiring talk on "The King's English." She commented . on the fact that, while in other branches, such as, transportation, invention, manufac- turing, eta, great advances have been .made, no progress in the use of good English can be noted, - The same old slang expressions, heard in the days of our ancestors, are still in common; use and to these many new ones such as "I'11 tell the World," are being ad- ded to our language. She would have the teachers strongly impress upon the pupils, the use of nothing short of the choicest language. Above all things, everyone, •whether students or not, should cease "The Murder of the King's English," Thursday Evening At the evening session a most en- joyable time was spent. A good pro- gram of music and addresses was rendered. Among the speakers of the evening were Reeve Beavers, who gave an address of welcome to the teachers. President M.E. Milliken who took for his topic, Child Study; Mr. G. W. Hofferd, who gave a lecture on Influence of Climate on Human Nature, and Rev. W. E.

The musical part was supplied by Misses rollick, Coates, McFaul, Har- vey, Southcott; Mesdames Blatchford 0rdiner, Dore and Mr. MiddIeiuis— all of whom merited hearty encores.

Bow Build. Have the Cistern Large Enough The Capacity 'Usually Required --7114w to. Build—The Bottle Type Cistern Most Common In Ontario. (Contributed by Ontario Department of j -;Agriculture, Toronto.) When you build a cistern make it large enough. Dry periods with the resulting water shortage must be guarded against, and the*best insur- ance is a cistern of large capacity. Capacity. ' A round cistern 10 feet deep and . 8 feet in diameter will hold 119 bar- rels of water, or approximately 3,759 gallons. For the ordinary household where soft water is toebe used for all pur- poses other than cooking, it is well 'to tlgure on a daily water use per individual of not less than 12 gallons. To carry the household safely through the long winter period the cistern should have a storage "wee- ity sufficient for the requirements of each indlvldual to teat at least 120 days,. Each ' member of the family would, therefore, require for that period in a modern house 1,440 gal- lons of water. This figureincludes the requirement for toilet, bath, laun- dry, and housecleaning. How much rain will the roof of a farm house collect in a year? In Southern Ontario the quantity of water Collected from the roof of a 30 x40 house, if properly eaves troughed, will be not less tnan 3,2,- 000 gallons. In Northern Ontario, where a greater part of the precipi- tation is in the form of snow, the water collected may not be more than half the figure given for Southern Ontario It is a large quantity any- way, and ample for the needs of a family of four people, if all were collected and saved. Building the Cistern, The structure must be strong enough to stand the strain exerted by the pressure outward and down- ward of a large body of water. After determining the size required and the location, an excavation of the desired dimension is made and a foundation laid. Re-inforced concrete is the best foundation and floor material. The re-inforeing can be stiff hard wood, old piping, railroad iron, small I beams or angle iron imbedded in the cement and used in sufficient quantity to prevent any cracking tcirough settling of the soil or weight of water above, The strong- est type of wall for cistern is the monolithic or concrete re-Inforced, with metal, wire or rods. Strong wails can, however, be built of stone, tile, brick or cement blocks that will stand the heavy strain, providing such are re-inforced and well backed with frni soil. Ile-inforeing metal should be used- in all cistern walls no matter what material is used in the ,str'Lletilr'e. Without reinforcing cracks that aro eithcult to close may develop and open. For cisterns over eight feet in diameter the re-inforeing should con - sits of vertical wrought iron rods, long enough to reach from the foun- dation to the top of the wall. With such spaced in the masonry at in- tervals of two feet and cross -tied with number three wire at eighteen inch intervals, the cistern wall will be strong enough to withstand any pressure likely to be put on it. The Bottle Type Cistern. Presentation.—On Sunday evening a large number of the C. W. League gathered at the home of Airs, Eliza- beth Ryan and , family to wish. them, every happ•:ness ani good. :uck cin their departure -for their new home in Chicago. Mrs. T. J.

Ea'gelson returtred last we,e1 from a visit ,with .Mrs: Ware, ham at Sarnia, The bo ialo type cistern - is gen- erally used in Ontario. The advan- tage of the bottle type is in' that the surface exposed area is reduced. An equally 'good cistern can be made with vertical walls all the way up. A flat concrete coyer can be made" for such by re-inforeing with I beams, or large Iron piping. A man hole should be provided in the top or cover. An inflow pipe and an over- flow pipe must be provided for at the intended high water level. A section of pipe of suitable size for a. pump to water line should be built into the cistern wall at a height to suit the location when it is planned, to install the pump. All pipe placed in cistern walls should be set in- a mixture of one part fine sand and one part cement. Cement walls that are required to hold water should bp. Carefully constructed of good-eleaa; material, well mixed " and in , proper' proportions, one part cement,. three parts cle4,n,,,sharp sand, ieur-.,parts clean gravel,,or small stone. In build- ing, the.green concrete should be well tamped and worked clown against the sides of the forms in order to make a smooth wall. The horizontal re- inforcing iron can be put in as the wall goes up. With square tanks- or cisterns . the corners require 'special attention and must be strengthened by imbedding heavy iron. Iron bars one inch in cross section or inch pipe. can be used for this purpose, after being bent to the desired shape. Scrap iron from old implements. can be used to advantage in re-inforeing concrete, and there is generally a sufficiency of such old iron about the farm .to answer the demand for re- inforcing any concrete work that may be undertaken. Where cement block or hollow tile are used in cistern construction, the space within the tile are best filled with cement con- crete; such will permit of better jointing„ and also strengthen • the wall. A. light" iron rod, or two strands of number three wire, shouldbe imbedded - in the, cement as each round of blocks as. set.• Oxdi- nary building. brick,, sot: in cement mortar, make very good and durable ,cisterns, .,A11, masonry cisterns :;should. be given a . coat of eement. plaster inside„;1f no re-inforciug.lroi 'pisused tben..care should he .taken •to?".
