The present fashion icf going without n, hat does no harm as far as tho scalp Is concerned;-In fact, It tends to keep It cool, but tho hair should not bo too much exposed to tho direct rays of tho sun. Sun Is supposed to brighten hair,;, an occasional sun bath Is stimulating and healthy,- but, too much sun will certainly fado tho hair and destrdy Its life and gloss. A proof of this Is tho fact that European races hat have worked bare headed In tho fields since childhood have" Invariably faded and discolored hair.

PARKIIUItST. "When tho courso of study lnour publlrj schools Is finally matured and brought to Its best. It will bo found to contain a good deal that Is flttedr to make of our boys and girls thor oughbred Amor- ' 1 leans. Americanism Is a branch of study all by Itself, and one of the most necessary In the construction of a completo curric ulum. Tho aver age of our young r-eoplc know too little about Amer ica, either Its past or Its present, to make patriots of them, and no coun- ' try can live a great while without pa triots. It Is much more Important that our beys and girls should b made familiar with the history of tho United States than with that of Greece or Home, or even England, .and that ten weeks should bo given to the events that occurred from IT'S to JTST apd from 1&C1 to 1ST.5 to every ono week that Is devoted to the biography of Xerxes, Alexander the nrcat, Hannibal, William the Conqueror, Napoleon ond the Duke of Wellington.

AH of this, tatight by a. teacher allvo with patrlotlo spirit, means ir.ore nnd more to tho school boy tho closer he comes to It and tho more ho en ters Into Its meaning. We want our boys and girls to be not pimply occupants of the country, but Americanized elements of Its life, and for that reason It Is vastly more Im portant for them to be familiar with great physical principles of the universe or with the geologic structure of the Flobe. In school there Is time enough wasted over some things to make ' tho children much more valuable than they are in other things. In educutlng an American child It should never bo forgotten that Is what he Is; that whether born here,, In Japan or in Madagascar, ho Is here now and to be educated an American.
