Remember the raft that we told
here before;
The bunk that you read and raised
right band and swore
That the activity under the pate of
your head
Must be sickly or dying, or, even yet,
dead?

Well, we have returned to the pen

Just to scandalize news as we scan-
danlzed then:
Or to "pass on the joke that some
duffer has told
And to keep the down-hearted get

Or decrepid to smile, as they go clay

For that's all we're good for anl-
that's all today.

way of New York houses. In building
up their Philippine business; and
even these troubles have been rare.
The movement received its first im
petus from the Philippine public
schools, where girls and boys are
given special industrial graded studies
from books. The household training
is classified as "educational;" the
training in embroidery, lace making,
crochet, etc., is called "commercial,"
since it can at once be turned to ac
count. The product ot the schools is
handled through a retail and whole
sale system, and the profits revert to
the pupils. Girls are able to buy
their books In this way, and their
needed supplies of paper and pencils.
It is very handy pin money, which
they are glad to be able to earn. Such
work has been fully organized In the
Philippine public schools for more
than a decade. The growing embrold
?ry industry is a direct result of this
practical educational work.
