Thursday Is Trustees’ Day (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ’he soil lx very important. These bacteria are small and rich soli has millions of them. Rock particles furnish the mineral matter, the humus of the soil furnish the nitrogen, which is tin most important There is where the bacteria come in, they help us in the use of nitrogen. When you put man ure on the ground it is going to do no; good until the bacteria forms it into nitrate- When manure is left in a pile for a length of time it loses its value because the nitrogen floats away in the air. We have three kinds of bacteria that do us good, that is, they are forming different things into nitrates. There is another kind that changes substances in the ground and wastes it in the form of nitrogen. Therefore, we must help the helpful bacteria by the use of manure, clover and tiie rotation of crops. Every child is interested in weed story, but there are lour things to know about weed study. 1. What tiie weed is. It is important that every one should ■ know tip m. 2- To know the reproductive capacity of weeds. 3. How the weeds are carried about or dispersed 4. Seed analysis In con- ■ elusion Dr. Davis gaie some addresses and costs of seed manuals. Animals ui’d diseases are dangerous to plants, ' so we must find means to protect Hie plants from them, to find the means ’ • to combat them. We must know the : ■ entire life of the animals.

Tiie problem left with us. was how I 1 we weri to help the pupil the best in these two phases. It is not so much I the teaching of the formal, such as reading, etc., but the teacher is held ' responsible to a great extent for the j alter life of the pupil That is his I standing in the community or sociali life. You must teach something else : 1 besides the regular studies, as-do-1 n estic science ami agriculture. To • prove that domestic science, domes-1 tii art. ami agriculture can be taught 1 successfully. Dr. Davis gave several j of his personal experiences, or inci-1 dents that he has seen. To form a ■ relation between tiie formal and social phases of teaching, the most ini-j portlint is the economic division. II j you can increase the growth of anv , thing in the district you have made a ' ’ good stait in a relation of tiie formal and sofial phases of education.
