School Methods Have Progressed Individual School of Instruc tion Uses Most Modern System. Have you ever listened to your grandmother tell of geography-sing ing, where states are bounded, capi tals named, and rivers located In a sort of chanting singsong? Or the syllables sung something like this; “b-a, bay; b-e, bee; b-i, bicki-by; b-e, beau; bickl-by-beau; b-u, boo;” and s^ on with d-aday, g-agay, h-ahay, until all the consonants were used and most of the singers nearly worn out? If you have heard these things and pondered over them, you realize we have come a long way since that time in education. In your grandfather’s day ths three l's were sufficient schooling for the average man or woman, and many had very little even of these. There have been grandmothers who learned to write after their boys and girls were old enough to teach them. Those who have taken the trouble to investigate agree that the School of Individual Instruction conducted by Mrs. Px-att at Thirty-sixth and Harney streets is the most modern system of instruction to be found In the country today. Small classes nnd intensive study produce remark able results. The school Is now en tering upon its third year in new enlarged quarters. Mrs. Pratt says that not only does the “backward” pupil master his problems, but the ' average paipil advances faster than in mass instnxetion. Enrollment at Omaha U.

Mickey in the meantime struggles to get things for Lily Peaches, the little lame girl. He finds that It Is Impos sible to tell anyone about her for fear that any stranger will force him to pat .the child In an orphanage. One woman threaten* this and Mlrkey leaves her, determined to help no one for fear that In the conversation he will tell about fhe girl. He has hardly gone a block when a woman falls and strikes her head, losing consciousness. He helps take her to a hospital. There he meets a nurse, who gives him things for Peaches and instructs him in how to care for her. Douglas Bruce and Leslie Winton be come engaged and on the morning fol lowing their betrothal gw to the swamp to make the basket as agreed.

"You wouldn’t believe me, if I should tell yoff. You are right! Perfectly justified! Of course I shall not bring this before the public. Go!" At the door he looked back. She had dropped into a chair beside the table, holding the cast in one hand, the fringed orchids in the other. CHAPTER VII. Peaches* Preferences In Blessings. ‘‘God ain't made a sweeter girl ’An Lily, ’at keeps my heart a-whirl. If I was to tell an awful whopper. I’d^get took by the cross old copper.’* —Mickey. Thus chanted Mickey at his door, his hands behind him. Peaches stretched both hers toward him as usual; but he stood still, swinging in front of him a beautiful doll, tor a little sfck girl. A baby doll In a long snowy dress and a lace cap; It held outstretched arms, but was not heavy enough to tire small waveering hands. Peaches lunged forward until only Mickey’s agility saved her fjfom fall ing. He tossed the doll on 'the bed, and caught tse child, the lump In his throat so big his voice was strained as he cried: “Why you silly thing!” With her safe he again proffered It. Peaches shut her eyes and buried her face on his breast. “Oh don't let me see it! Take it away!” "Why Lily! I thought you'd be crazy about It.”' marveled Mickey. “Honest I did! The prettiest lady sent It to you. Let me tell you!” • “Giving them up Is worser 'an never having them. Take it away!” willed Peaches. "Well Lily!” said Mickey. "I didn’t s’pose I looked so like a granny that you'd think that of me." He was holding the child gently and stroking her tumbled hair. When he put her from him to see her face. Mickey was filled with envy because he had been forced to admit the gift was not from him. He shut his lips tight, but his face was grim as he studied Peaches’ flushed cheeks and wet eyes, and noted the shaking eagerness for the doll she was afraid to look at. He reached over and put it Into her arms, then piled the pil lows so she could see better, talking the while to comfort her. In utter content Peaches sank against the pillows, watching Mickey, while she gripped the baby. Peaches lifted her lips. Mickey met them more obsessed than before. Then she turned away, clasping the doll. Mickey could see that the tears were slipping form under the child's closed lids, but her eyes were on the doll face, so he knew she was happy. He stole out to bring In his purchases for supper, and begin his evening work. He gave Peaches a drink, her daily rub, cleaned the room without mak ing dust as the nurse had shown him, and brought water. He shook his fist at the faucet. “Now hereafter, nix on the hut ting in!” he said belligerently. “Meb by I couldn’t have got that doll, but I could have got one she'd have liked just as well, and earned it extra, in on* day. There’s one feature of the big brother business that I was a lit tle too fast on. He's the finest man that ever wanted me, while his rooms are done shameful. I could put a glitter on them so he could see him self with the things he has to work with, and he said any time I wanted it, the Job was mine. It wouldn't be cheating him any if I took it, nnd did beter work than he's getting, and my .steady papers are sure In the morn ing: that would be sure In the after noon, and If I cut ice with a buzz saw, I might get through In time to pick up something else before com ing home, and being sure beats hop ing a mile, yes 10 miles! Mebby I’ll Investigate that business a little fur ther, 'cause hereafter I provide for my own family. See? Lily was grand about it. Gee! she’s smart to think it out that way all in a minute. But by and by she's going to have a lot of time to think. Then she’ll be re membering about the lady I got to tell her of ’steai} of me. as she should! Guess I'll run my own family! I’ll take another look at cleaning that office. There ain’t any lap-dog busi ness in a job and being paid for it, if you do it well." Mickey turned the faucet and marched up the stairs with head high and shoulders square. Hie face was grave while he worked, but Peaches was so happy she did not notice. When he came with her supper she klsged the doll, tben in sisted on Mickey kissing it also. Such was the state of hie subjuga tion he commenced with ’’Aw!" and ended by doing as he was told. He even helped lay the doll beside Peaches exactly as her fancy dic tated, and covered it with her sheet, putting Its hands outside. Peaches was enchanted. She insisted on of fering it a drink of her milk first, and was so tremulously careful lest she spill a drop that Mickey had to guide her hand. He promised to wash the doll’s dress if she did have an accident, or when it became soil ed, and bowed his head meekly to the crowning concession by sitting on the edge of the bed, after he had finished his evening work’ and hold ing the doll where she could see it, exactly as instructed, while he told her about his wonderful adventure. "Began yesterday," explained Mickey. "You know I told you there was going to be a surprise. Well this Is it. When the lady gave me the ribbons for you, she told me to come, back tonight, and get it. Course I could a-got it myself. I would a got it for Christmas—’’ "Oh Mickey, I'm so glad I want to say a prayin's 'at you found me. 'stead of some other kid!" exulted Peaches. "Yes Miss, and that’s one thing I forgot!” said Mickey. "We’ll begin tonight. You ain't a properly raised lady unless you Bay your prayers. I know the on* She taught me. To night will be a good time, 'cause you’ll be so thankful for your pretty ribbons and your baby, that you'll Mrs. Pratt’s School Marks Big Advance in Instruction Special Features 1— Preparatory work for east ern schools. 2— French amt Latin In the Junior High. 3— A new modern-topic class. 4— Special classes for rural teachers who wish to make up credits.

Payne Have you ever heard your grandfather tell about reaping wheat with an old-fashioned sickle, threshing it out with a flail, or tramping it out with oxen and win nowing it in the wind? Just as the modern binder has supplanted the primitive sickle, §0 individual instruction has supplant ed the old-fashioned method of mass instruction. Individual instruction Is equally as far advanced for train ing pupil* as the old-fashioned methods compared to the present. By meant of small classes each pupil is t»ught to work out his own problem. The School of Individual In struction features careful explana tion of assignment* and teache* boy* and girls how to study.

I just said I was," explain ed Peaches. ‘‘I never said none 'for granny, ’cause she only told ine to when she was drunk." ‘‘No and you never had a box of ribbone to make you look so sweet, or a baby to stay with you while I'm gone. If you ain’t thankful enough fur them to Bay your prayers, you shouldn’t have them, nor any more, nor Christmas, nor anything, but just—just like you was.” Peaches blinked, gasped, digested the statements, then yielded wholly. "I guess I'll say them. Mickey when shall I?" “Tonight 'fore you go to sleep,” said Mickey. "Where's your slate? We got to do lessons ’fore It gets an dark and we are so sleepy we can't see." Peaches proudly handed him the slate, in wavering lines and tremu lous curves ran her first day’s work alone, over erasures, and with re linings, In hills and deep depressions, which it Is possible Mickey read Ire cause Tie knew what it had to be, he proudly translated, "Mickey-lovest.” Then the lines of the night before. then “cow" and “milk." And then Mickey whooped because he faintly recognized an effort to draw a pic ture of the cow and the milk bottle. "Grand Lily!" he cried. “Gee. you're the smartest kid I ever knew! You'll know ail 1 do 'fore long, and then you'll need your back, so'a you can get ready to go to a Young Ladies' Sem'nary.” (Contlnned In Tbe Morning Bee.)

They urge people to fight film. Millions of careful people follow that advice. You see the results in whiter teeth wherever you go today. This offers you a ten-day test to show what that method means. What film does Film is that viscous coat you feel. Much of it resists the tooth brush, clings and stays. Soon that film discolors, then forma dingy coats. That's how white teeth loae luster. Film also causes most tooth troubles. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tv tar, ve the chief cause of pyorrhea. Few people who brush teeth in rtld iwawe aa/> a ns um ways r>t«po some film-caused trouble. Two better wijn Dental science hae found two ways to fight that film. One acta to disintegrate the film at all stages of formation. The other removes it without harmful scouring. Those methods were subjected to many careful tests. Then a new type tooth past* was created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent. Now careful people of some SO nations employ it, largely by den* tal advice. Far cleaner teeth Pepsodent also multiplies the alkalinity of tht saliva, also its starch digestant. On* is there to neutralise acid*, the other to di gest starch deposits.
