The auditorium is a most important feature of the rotary school. ' One, *two, or three chimes assemble here every halfehour, so that 1,000 boys and girls out of a total of 1,160 are cared fer in this special way each day. The auditoriuni is in no 'tense a class- room, though much is learned here. It has not the atmosphere, the equip- ment, nor the restraint of the class- room. Two teachers are in charge, and the work varies with the ,grades ot classes. The dramatic rendition of all suitable lessons from 'the read- ers, the recitation of memory extracts the formation of clubs with pupil of- ficers, safety work, oral composition. debates, dialogues, playlets, pageants, spelling inatehes, choruses, civics, pic- ture projection, reports on community and civic projects, folk dancing and 'public speaking comprise the ordin- ary work of the day. There are no intermissions in the rotary sehool, but the little tots have play periods and the one thousand older pupils have thalf an hour in the gymnasium. Only fifteen minutes of the half hour is devoted to formal physical culture; the other half of the period is used in ,playing volley ball, basket ball, or some other games, and in running races. Having examined the ,auditorium Or to take butter: Inveetigations have demonstrated that lack of grad- ing has resulted in serious loss to middlemen. In the state of Kansas for inetance, one-fifth of the butter received was pald for at the rate of 27.1 cents per pould,—the ruling price for butter --though this 20 per centhad to be reworked before it could be used by consumers. For this butter renovators paid 20 cents per pound, so that there was a loss of 7 cents per pound. Ns middleman can long stand this. - The problem of financing the sale of farm products is important. By grading farm products finance is facilitated. Suppose a farmer has a carload of a certain grade of pro- duct. He may go to the bank and say: ''I have a carload of No. 1 apples, I want to borrow some money." The bask manager under- stands what, this means aad .is pre- pared to advance money. But if the farmer goes to the bank with un- graded products the banker immedi- ately asks, "What kind? Who grew them? Ate they good or bad?" He may even require that they be in- spected, and in the end the farmer will not get as satisfactbry advances as though the products was graded. Description vs. Inspection. , WHY DO WE BLOW UPON A FIRE TO MAKE IT BURN? Long before man discovered that , air is made up of nitrogen, oxysen, and certain other elements, it was a recognized fact that blowing upon a fire. or upon a live coal, would caase it to blare up far more hritent- ly than before. Bu the scien,ific demonstration of he fact that fire lives upon oxygen provided the r:a- son for this apparent ,phenomenon, for it is the oxygen that we blow on the fire—the draft which is createi in this manner—.that causes the in- crease in heat and light. Similarly, the invention of the bel- lows, which was only an improve- ment upon the fan system used by the most savage of tribes, adapted the same (principle, for here a steady strong current of air is directed against the fire, and it is possible to continue it with a minimum of ef- fort. The tube of the bellows per- mitted the stream .of air to be easily 'controlled, while it was also increas- ed in force by the bag .arrangement which allowed the air current to be- come quite strong with a compara- tively slight exertion. • Inspector Benson finds In - Grading of farm products is no- GETTING RIO Of WEEDS Co.opstatta M s Hove Heed Tested ior:, ea ham Mora Farmers Should Get Into the GiAme-.-Ilow 4p Control Peronuial Sow Thistle And Twitch Gimes...

First, he finds the history room and the history teacher. All day long this man teaches history—twelve different lessons to twelve different classes. Many teachers, in sorrow be it said, . "just 'hate" history. This teacher does not; it is his favorite subject. , Then why not let him teaeh it, while those who "hate" history teach some- thing that they do not hate? Just here is oqe of the great excellences of the rotary system—the subjects that require special ability, special preparation, and special presentation are tn ch,arge of teachers who have only one subjeet to teach. Here is a room in which nothing but art is taught; another devoted exclusively to music; and so on. Supplementary reading is in many schools left out in the cold. In the rotary 'school this cannot happen be- cause this subject has a special room • near the school library, a special time I and a special teacher. So it is with all the ther subjects already men- tioned. ' The Victoria Public School is Wind- sor's second rotary school. Bath schools are in construction and in equipment of the very beet type. i ROTARY SCHOOLS THE LATEST ONTARIO IDEA Down in Windsor they have a new idea in schools. They call them ro- tary schools. Now a rotary school bas no connection with a rotary club, excellent organization though the lat- ter may be. The term, rotary school, was invented by Inspector J. E. Ben- son to designate the new type of school which he has established in Windsor. Prince Ecianard Public School„ the first rotary school erected in Wind- sor, serves what may perhaps be the poorer district. It is a large build- ing of about the usual type except that a "wing" projects from the rear. This wing contains two rooms not usually found in an ordinary public eehool—a gymn,asium and a large • auditorium. Entering the school one notices lirst rows of lockers in the middle of the large corridors. Inset in the wall are more lockers, and the visitor 'learns that every pupil in the ,school 'has his or her own locker. Presently a bell ' rings, and the whole ,school seems suddenly to be turning itself inside out. To the strains of the vietrola at the entrance of the auditorium, long orderly lines of ehildren pass out of rooms and into other rooms, pass upstairs while others come down 'stairs, rpaes into the auditorium and out of the audi- torium. Though it is 2.45 on Friday afternoon, a deadly dull time in many schools, these pupils are marching :n a "snappy" manner, with smiles on their faces, most of them, and seem , to know exactly where they are going, On enquiry it is learned that this is neither recess or dismissal (though from the children's faces it would seem to be either one or the other), but is the time for the semi -daily "grand change". Those who have been for an hour' and a half in the "home rooms" and the others are going from the latter to the former. Under this roof, it would appear, there are two schools, an "A" school and a "B" scho,ol, or an "odd" school and an even school. For example, Class lA and Class 2B are exactly the same in school attainment and receive exactly the same instruction but at different times. In the "home" rooms the old, traditional subjects are taught—arithcetic, grammar, spelling, composition, reading and literature— while the "special" rooms are set apart for history, geography, art, , supplementary reading, music, nature study, physical culture, literature, manual and household arts. Litera- ture, it will be observed, occurs in babb Mote, but the literature taught in the home room is the- detailed, in- tensive work, while the literature of the special room is the kind learned in libraries and, indeekit 45 frequent - several portant 'benefits resulting from the rotary arrangement: (1) The special talent of each teacher is utilized to the best advantage; (2) ells% subject receives its proper share of time; (3) the tedious monotony inseparable from the work of the average school room is relieved; (4) the necessary equipment for geography, for history and for similar subjects is assembled in one room and does not require to be moved around; (5) every part of the building is in use for every min- ute of the day; (6) the building ac- commodates one-third more pupile than it could under the traditional scheme; (7) the cost of education per pupil per year is about $5 lower than in a similar, school of the ordinary type. THIN BLOODED PEOPLE Need a Tonic to Enrich the Blood and Restore the Health. Some people have a tendency to be- come thin -blooded, just as others have an inherited tendency to rheumatism, or to nervous disorders. The condi- tion in which the blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers, comes on so 'gradually that anyone with a natural disposition in that di- rection should watch the 'symptoms carefully. Bloodlessness, or anaemia, as the 'medical term is, can be cor- rected mare easily in the earlier stag- es than later. It begins with a tired feeling that rest does not overcome, the complexion becomes pale, and breathlessness on slight exertion, such as going up stairs, is noticed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home remedy that has been most successful in the treatment of troubles due to thin blood. With pure air and good food these blood -enriching 'pills. are the correct treatment when the symp- toms described above are ndticed. The value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cases of this kind is shown by the statement of- Mrs, M .Chase, of Tren- ton, Ont., who says:—"I can highly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who suffer from anaemia and nervous exhaustion. For three years I 'was nearly always troubled with 'headaches, and until I began taking these 'pills, no treatment seemed to do more than give ,me temporary relief. I had read of what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were doing for others and finally decided to try them myself. I further decided to give them'a fair trial and kept on taking them regularly for several months and I am glad to say have derived permanent relief. I feel that I can safely and honestly ?mom - mend this wonderful anedicine.” You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, at SOc a box or elx Imes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williarme' Med- icine Co., Brockville, Ont. Grading reduces the selling cost by enabling sale by description rather than sale by inspection or by sample. Sale by inspection requires that pro- ducts be sent to' some central point and that people go to see those pro- ducts., It is easHy seen that this is an expensive way of selling. And not only is this true, but it is easy to over-estimate the requirements of buyers on a certain day, which re- sults in flooding of the market, with consequent lowering of price. Sale by description is made possible through advertising, but before ad- vertising can be successful products must be graded. Not all advertising is economical, but it has its place in effecting more efficient methods of selling. Graded products always bring bet- ter prices to farmers. Agriculture is still the main industry in Ontario, and this means thst we must export the. surplus of farm products. In finding markets for thils surplus we come into competition with Nev: Zea- land, Denmark, Rolland, Australia, and United States. Most of these countries, certainly the first four named, enforce rigid inspection of products for export. Why? Because grading is the basis of enlargement of markets. Consumers de,mand the very best of all products, their likes, and dislikes are varied, and we must meet these demands. For many years we have tried to make the English- man eat the sort of bacon we thought he should eat; hut he won't. He prefers Danish bacon because the Dane sells him the sort he wants, properly graded, to meet all his 're- quirements. Or take apples: A short time ago a certain gentleman from Ontario endeavored to establish a market for Ontario apples through the consum Pr owned co-operative stores in Great Britain. What was the answer? "Just as soon you get an organization from which we can order 10,000 boxes of No. l's or No. 2's, graded and packed in such a manner that we can depend upon the quality year in and year out, we will talk business, but until then we cannot risk it." New Zealand's Experience. In New Zealand, farmers satisfied the home market for butter a long time ago. They had to export the surplus, and the Government offered a premium for the first shipment of butter which would satisfy consumers in Great Britain. What was the re- sult? Dishonest people stole brands of quality producre and shipped In- ferior butter under these brands. This had a had effect. It was then found necessary to have Government inspection which would extend right back to the produeer, to that infer- ior butter could he traced to ita source and the cause remove.— J. Coke, Dept.

They Want what they read about' The standards of living for the average family in Can- ada grow higher each year. The luxuries of yesterday are the necessities of to -day. People in the smaller towns and on farms want the newer things they read about. Dry Goods Stores, Grocers, Shoe, Hardware and Paint Stores, in the smaller towns, all find they can show the newest things by carrying small stocks of them and re -ordering by Long Distance. The jobber or rnais- facturer's warehouse is at their elbow — their order departments are alert for tuilephone trade! Shipments are often made the same day. Up-to-date- ness of merchandise is no longer confined to the big city stores — and large sums are not locked up in stock. Try it. Have a big store in a small town.

Cultivate the fisld until about the middle of June, running over it fre- quently with the cultivator so as to keep the tops doe, and thus weaken the "roots." A celtivator with broad points should be used, which will cut off the Sow Thister or Twitch Grass • below the surface of the ground and not break up the root stocks too much. About the middle of June apply manure at the rate of about twenty tons per acre (twelve good loads). Cultivate the manure in thor- oughly and with a double mould board plough sliehtly ridge up the land, epaking the ridges about twentyesix inches aPart. On the ridges sow past ere rape (Dwarf Essex variety) at the rate of about one and a half imunds per acre.

The Point to Consider When Buying a Used Car_ Ory Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S RIA CASTORIA Whatever you buy, Whether it be clothes, furniture or household necessities, you buy on good faith. Faith that the manufacturer has made a good product—faith that the concern that supplies you will stand squarely behind it. When you buy a used car from a McLaughlin - Buick dealer, you can do so with absolute confidence. For the McLaughlin Motor Car Co., Limited, insists that McLaughlin -Buick dealers must typify and reflect McLaughlin -Buick stand- ards; that they must be men of strict integrity, of financial standing—men who will live up to every promise made to a customer in con- summating the sale of a car.
