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.

She held the flowers toward him.
"I brought these—” she began, then
paused. "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

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

The Seven-Passenger Touring Car -
The comments of those who have just taken
their first ride in the new Pierce-Arrow
Seven-Passenger Touring Car would seem
extravagant in print. But we venture to say
that you would be similarly enthusiastic,
We invite you to spend an hour—or an
afternoon—in this low-hung, graceful car. You
then would understand in a measure why you
see Pierce-Arrows in such increasing numbers.
Riding comfort, possible only In a car of
such generous wheelbase and perfect spring
suspension—a surprising ease of control—a
performance of which only the six-cylinder
Dual-V^lve, Dual-Ignition Engine is capable
—all these account for the unprecedented de
mand for this distinctive, long-lived car.

“Fight film on your teeth daily”
No prettier teeth without that _
Do you know that leading den
tists all the world over now advise
a new way of teeth cleaning? 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

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. Every use of
Pepsodent gives them manifold
effect.
That means far cleaner teeth.
