EDITOR SCHOOL JOURNAL: -M. P. I have made three trips to Europe, each over fifty days, and visited both warm and cold countries and found a suitcase and small satchel ample. If you have a good tailored suit (coat and skirt) with two silk waists, one more dressy than the other, and a one-piece foulard or silk dress with a good silk petticoat, which is used for both dresses, and two white waists, you have all you have time to use. Stationary Automatic Desks Carry two suits of underwear, two night dresses, stockings, handkerchiefs. To be prepared for all kinds of weather take a pair of black silk tights, a very thin Scotch wool knit jacket, motor veil, an extra pair of shoes, pair of rubbers, raincoat and folding umbrella. In the small satchel, I carry my toilet articles, a nightdress, camera, glasses, etc. I expect to make my fourth trip this year and it has never cost me more than four dollars a day.

I confess that to me much of the delight of an early morning landscape of Corot or Claude Monet is due in no small measure to the music of singing birds.

Dr. Roger H. Dennett, a specialist in the diseases of children, is writing an interesting series of articles in the Woman's Home Companion on the daily routine, habits and discipline of children. In an article on "The Healthy Baby" in a recent number he says: "Lack of discipline is an American weakness. You cannot imagine the humiliation with which I have listened to foreign-born mothers of my charity patients say, 'But he is like the American child, he does not mind.'" The college must make it a point to teach principles rather than dogmatic methods. Too often our systems of learning are too bookish.

As the general editor of the American Book Company Mr. Hinman's work has been conspicuous for its breadth and His accuracy. knowledge of educational affairs was comprehensive and his contributions to the cause of education in this country have been important and influential in almost every department of the educational field. His sudden death comes as a surprise and shock to his wide circle of friends and associates. Mr. Hinman's unusual abilities and special training fitted him in a remarkable way to direct the wide editorial interests which were under his supervision. His death is a great loss, not only to the organization in which he was so important a factor, but also to the general educational world where he was so well known and so highly regarded. Draper's "Sanitary" Roller Window Shade Not an adjuster, but a complete adjustable shade. Made from COTTON DUCK, has no "filling," will not check nor crack. This shade may be rolled up at the bottom at the same time that it is lowered from the top. We have eliminated the slow and uncertain process of looping, folding or hooking. This shade will expose all the window without dropping below the window sill. Our rollers are unique in that they will not run away, because they are provided with a positive stop or locking device that automatically catches the roller by means of a GRAVITY hook the moment the operator releases his hold upon the bottom pull. The shade hangs from an automatic pulley that can be quickly attached to the window cap by the insertion of two screws which complete its hanging. The Bell Adjustable Folding Shade This shade is constructed on the same general principles as the Draper Sanitary Roller shade, and is made from COTTON DUCK. This shade operates without a roller, and may be folded to onefourth, one-sixth, or one-seventh its length at one operation. It adjusts from either top or bottom. The top section of the window may be exposed by a mere operation of the cord, or the shade may be pulled to the top, shading only a portion of the window. This shade too hangs from an automatic pulley, is easily adjusted and simplest in construction. Send us your estimates, and we will send samples to the school officials that will explain the workings of our shades in every detail. We prepay express charges on small working samples. Luther O.
