V The retirement of Eflic Reed, principal of Kellom school, removes from the public school system one of the most beloved teachers in the history of the Omaha schools. "Her place will lie' exceedingly bare) to till," was the comment of fered Tuesday by a teacher who was her close associate for years. She will leave today for Port land, Ore., where she will remain for an indefinite period. She asked her friends of the schools to abstain from giving any formal leavclaking function and in bidding the teachers of her school good-by she wrote them all personal notes which contained tender sentiments, too tender for the spoken word, she thought. Come Here in 1885. Miss Reed came i Omaha in 1885 frC'in Winter. C i, .. where she had been principal n; .. ;iiool. Her first school work in Onu-.ha, 35 years ago, was accompanied by difficultiix now unknown to the teaching staff. She taught first at the old Cass school. Superintendent H. M. James wanted a principal to go to the Cen tral Park school, tb'-n at . Forty second and Grand a :ue. At that time the nearest car line was, at Twentieth and Lake streets, but it was said of her that she never failed to be at Forty-second and drain! avenue on time, in fair weather and foul. She wlas the first principal of Franklin school, entering this build ing when it was opened. Sixteen years ago she was assigned to the principalship of Omaha View school and when Anna Foos died she was transfered to the principalship at Kellon school where she accom plished her best work as an educ tor.

TO Tf5AN AN ANIMAL Foe the. animal lege, having been a classmate of iov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois. She was also associated during her youth with the .McMillans who have rltaincd prominence as educators and authors of school tfxt hooks. Her early training was in a literary atmosphere. Her father was editor cf a newspaper at Monmouth. Miss Reed attained unusual success as a disciplinarian. She exercised a remarkable influence over so-called "bad" boys. She did not consider any hoy really "bad," but believed that he was susceptible to good or bad influences and she knew how to reach the heart of any boy, or girl. She understood the child mind from the practical point of view. She persuaded many children to ex tend their school attendance beyond what it otherwise would have been. How She Won a Boy. It is said that she won a boy by buying him a base ball outfit. That boy continued through the high school and developed into a star athlete. She continually impressed the children with the idea that their school days were precious days, not to be lightly fluttered away and that education is the foundation of real life She was also helpful to young teachers. There are various in stances of teachers who did not make good in other schools, who showed marked improwmcnt under the direction of this principal. She was always progressive in educa tional matters, keeping up to the minute in her profession and always showing a fresh interest in her work. Every clay for her had some new interest nid she endeavored to have her pupils and teachers make the most of each day. Worked With Parents. Miss Reed developed a close in terest between the parents and hef school. If a pupil needed attention in some particular direction she would write the parents a note, ask them to see her at the school or she would visit the home, according to the circumstances vof the case. She did not believe in allowing any deficiency to go by default. "She was more closely in touch with her school than any other prin cipal I have ever known," was an other comment heard yesterday, spoken by a teacher who has known Miss Reed for many years. It was a sad day for the children of Kellom school last week when they said "'goodbye" to their prin cipal.

On the day of (he Lotus Festival they go very early in the morning, before the sun is up, to a pond where the lotus flowers bloom. They go with their teacher and all the chil dren. When they get to the pond the teacher says, "Listen!" Every one is still as a mouse. Just as the sun rnmes up, 1 the lotus flowers open.' Pop, pop. pop, they go, like fairy guns! The children love to hear them pop. "The flowers salute the sun." they say. One of the best days of all is Tew Year's day, when all the boys and their fathers and grandfathers fly kites. And such wonderful kites! The air is full of dragons and boxes and all sorts of queer shapes. Some times the dragons have a battle in the air!

First she went to the Kura with Taro and their father to get out the flags. The boys' birthday is called the F'east of Flags. They took Bot'Chan with them to the Kura. Take carried him on her back. "It's Bot'Chan's ( birthday, too," she said, "so he must go." In the Kura was a long bamboo pole. The Twins' father took the pole and set it up in the street be fore their house. Then he brought out two great paper fish. They were almost larger than Taro. Thry had great round mouths and round eyes. A string was fastened to their mouths. "There's one fish for Taro and one for Bot'Chan," said the father. "We have two boys in or house." He tied the fish to the pole. The wind filled the great, round mouths and soon away up in the air the two fish were bobbing and blowing about just as if they were alive! There was a bamboo pole with one or two and sometimes three or four fish on it before every house in the strrrt! "My' how many bovs there are in the world!" Take said; "more than I ran count!" The street was as gay as a great ftower-rrardei. There were not only f'h flags; there was the flag of Japan, with a great round, red disk on it. And there was the flag of the navy, which was a great, round red sun like the other, only with red rays around it. and there were ban ners of all colors waving in the breeze.

The care which nature takes of the various animals which in habit the earth is manifested in a number of ways. Many fish and birds are protected by a color scheme which blends in w ith their surroundings so perfectly that they are practically invisible to the eye of an enemy. Others, like the antelope, are provided with great speed with which to outstrip their foes, white still others are equipped with sharp claws or poison fangs of extra ordinary strength. Living as it does in the desert and in waste places where food and water are scarce, the camel is protected against hunger and thirst by two unusual develop ments of its anatomy. The first of these is a stomach divided into three compartments, in one of which a gallon and a half of water can be stored, for auto matic supply as needed. The sec ond is the hump which appears on the back of the camel a mass of fat, stored up as a food and energy when the beast is on the march. The true camel, now ex tinct as a domestic animal in Af rica and Asia, has only one of these humps, while the Bactrtan camel has two. The dromedary, a swift species of the Arabian camel, also carries its food in a single mass or hump. Judging from fossil remains discovered in comparatively re- cent years, the camel originated ' on the American continent and ) r.,1 fr,.,,, lhari ,- bo diet probably before the bridge of land which formerly spanned the Pacific sunk beneath the surface of the ocean.
