If it is not going too far to draw one more illustration from the better "#. preserved monuments of the Atreid capital, we may restore a. scene upon the Athenian Acropolis with details borrowed from the ruins and the lines of Homer. We must picture the lordly abode of the Athenian princes as something far more than an aggregation of massive walls aud colonnaded courts, Those walls, severe and plain with- out, blazed within a revetment of curiously wrought metal or brilliantly colored plaster. ~The doors, incased in beaten bronze, swung upon hinges of the same ma- terial; the handles, too, were richly wrought in gold or silver. . The walls were massy brass; the cornice high Blue metals crowned in colors of the sky; Rich plates of gold the fading doors incase * The pillars silver on a brazen base: Silver the lintels deep projecting o'er; And gold the ringlets that command the door. If this famous description of the house of Alcinous, from Homer's Odyssey, were our only. warrant for imagining this lavish use of beaten metal with enrichments in gold and silver many would doubtless be dis- posed to say that the Homeric pic- ture was drawn from the realm of pure imagery although the very mention of these methods of decora- tion and the poets' minute description 4 of the exquisiteness of the crafts- - = are enough to prove beyon manship with which they age applied a doubt the existence of such modes of archi- tectural adornment in their day. But these elaborate and brilliant poetical reproductions have been brought from the regions of doubt or mere proba- bility into the iull light of fact by|, the well-known discoveries of Myce- B80 oo This fashion of covering walls of stone with metal plates, which seems to have been the most ancient form of mural decorations in Greece--em- ployed even before painted plaster-- and which characterizes the Homeric period of art as an age of bronze, was in all probability imported from the East. There is an Asiatic ring about such lavish use of metals sug- gestive of Pheenician art, which de- lighted to cover everything with plates of metal -- suggestive also of the brazen pillars and other works of brass which Hiram, King of Tyre, made for the temple of Solomon, for Hiram was a man "skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in pur- ple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving." It was, moreover, from Pheenicia that bronze came into Greece, partly by way of Asia Minor, but more especially by way of Cy: prus.--From "The Story of Athens," « by Howard Crosby Butler. . rrr -- Simple Day In this wind's following there is an unknown richness "A breathing mysterious bloom, Not gorse nor may nor hyacinth nor herb; No man could name that perfume.

Finds Intelligence ; Improved by Diet Intelligence quotients of school children are frequently dependent on physical conditiuns, and many chil dren who are rated "slow" by intel- ligence tests can attain a higher mark after a few weeks of treat- ment, according to a study being con- ducted by Dr. Daniel R. Hodgdon, instructor in the elementary educa tion departments of New York Uni. versity Summer School. Dr. Hodgdon has found that cod- liver oil, orange juice and milk pro- duced a noticeable change in the ma- jority of malnourished children he studied. He reports that after twenty weeks of these foods, as sup- plements to their regular diets, the children became more alert, physi- cally responsive and co-operative. The children who had been rated "slow", Dr. Hodgdon found, scored an average of ten points better on the intelligence tests after being given dietary treatment from Octo- ber to June. When the treatment was discontinued during the Sum: mer vacation the same children scor- ed 4.8 points less than they had in June, Children rated "a>*mal" on the tests gained an average of 3.8 points between October and June, and drop- ped 5.4 points below their June scores when school opened in Sep- tember, Dr, Hodgdon said. There was little change in the scores of children with low L Qs. Dr, Hodgdon recommended that school boards provide well-trained individuals to examine children criti- cally from the standpoint of mental and physical subnormality and that in the latter case they provide speci- ally trained teachers and special con- ditions to correct them. Results '| From 'Moscow .comes word that there is to be an' importaht depart- ure from the plan of education which was introduced in Russian schools by thé Soviet regime. That plan is said to have incorporated many features of the "Dalton plan," originated by Miss Helen Parkhurst, headmistress of the Dalton School of New York City. Certain features are now said by the Soviet educational authorities to produce undesirable habits in the pupils, ~ Miss Parkhurst has outlined her plan in a book, "Education on the Dalfon Plan." It has_ these outstan- ding characteristics: 5 ance of his tasks. 2 responsibility is impésed on him. 3, Extensive group activity is un- dertaken -to develop the social sense, 4. Subjects are taught by the la- boratory method, the emphasis being more on the, habits of work than on the matter learned. 5. The child himself is made a re- corder of his own progress, examina- tions being regarded as unimportant. To Miss Parkhurst the plan gives the child the opportunity for self-dis- cipline, rather than an imposed dis- cipline, which makes him "grow into a harmonious, responsible being, able and willing to lend himself conscious- ly to co-operation with his fellows for their common benefit." Russia's Criticisms. The Soviet authorities, according to the cables, have concluded that the self-discipline and lack of definite checks on pupil activities have re- sulted in widespread cribbing. The older methods are therefore to be re- introduced. The authority of the tea- cher and his responsibility for discip- line, together with the right to expel recalcitrant pupils, are, according to the dispatches to be restored, and so are individual ratings and compul- sory examinations. The curriculum, too, while keeping some of the innovations, such as the study in fields and workshops, intro- duced after the revolution, and phys- ics, will revert more to the traditional subjects of reading, writing, grammar, arithmetic and so on. Miss Parkhurst comments on the change in the Russian plan as follows: It is clear that the Soviet Com- munist party has issued an edict mak- ing a significant departure from the communistie theory of education, fol- lowed since the inception of the Soviet regime, in favor of a more individu- alized scheme of education, thus ab- olishing group instruction in the ele- mentary and secondary schools of Russia, Since 1918 1 have read with a great deal of interest and curiosity the re- ports of the application of the Dalton plan in Russian schools.

The animals offered for demonstra- tion, proved to be very wormy and the sight of large quantities of tape worm being removed from the in- testines brought forth the comment "this is surely an eyeopener", "I would not believe had I not seen it". That man that tried to raise the lambs that were used for post mor- tem demonstration, would not believe what had been told him about his lambs being wormy, on the previous day. But the sight of yards and yards of tapeworm being removed from his lambs thoroughly convinc- ed him, If the lambs in your flock are not doing well, there is a rea son.
