When ho clicks the spring1 j
lock of his office door and hies him
to his home at Newton Center,
Westchester, Grosse Pointe, Forest
Lake or Contra Costa, he leaves his
work behind him. The farmer must
live close to his work.
Yet, it isn't entirely necessary constantly
to have the plow, the cornfield,
or the stable staring him in the
face. In pioneer days, before the advent
of labor-saving machinery and
methods, where man's work was
from sunrise to sunset, and woman's
work was never done, it did not i
make much difference, and the farmj
buildings were placed where they j
could he closest to the hou<e.
Don't Talk Shop.
Modern experience, however, shows
that every man wants to got away
from his work at somo time ui the
day. It is the sane orinciple as!
that which forbids talking "shop"
during social hoars. Every woman j
knows the comfort of a nook where
she can rest without seeing the
kitchen sink or the cook stove. Many
women prefer to have their dining
room separate from the kitchen; but
it is only recently that farmers have'j

ranging their grounds so that they!
can take their after-super recrea- j
tion aloof from their workaday
world. ft does not take much planning
ordinarily to bring this about j
in a measure. Sometimes it can be |
done by rearrangement of the small-1
o'* huildinirs, the nig sty, or the,
chicken coop, and often all that is'
necessary is a little thought given
to the planting of hedges and other!
shrubbery.
The barn probably is a fixture,
considering high buildings and mov1
ing costs, but very often its un-;
sightly features can be screened
with a hedge, wire, or lattice fence,,
or vines which may bo dug out of j
the woods. If the earlier generation'
has placed that barn directly across
the road it can at least be kept neat, j
One farmer, who decided to get the
maximum enjoyment out of life, even
rearranged the rooms of his house)
so that it faced away from the road
toward the woods.

ESTIMATE OF
EX-PRESIDENT
[ditor of the Paris Matin
Tells of Wilson's
Work.
Stephens I.auzanne, editor of the
\iris Martin and formerly French of
icial press representee in the United ;
states, endeavors as Preident Wilson
etires to private life to give a just
estimate of his work.
He won the war hut nearly lost the

deas, says the Washington Star. The
irticle follows:
"After eight years of wise and ab-j
olute government Mr. Woodrow Wil- '
on has abandoned the Presidency of
he United States.
"We must always try to be just.
3eing a victim must not prevent us
rom being just. Let us try, then, to
emain just toward this man, who
s leaving his supreme power, cerainly
with dignity, though perhaps
without glory.
We must not forget that history
s'ill say of President Wilson, more !
han any other man, "If he lost the i
jeace he at least won the war." We <.
nust not forget, that America was I
vanting neace in MM7 when she was'
hrown into the battle. She was far I
'rom being unanimous in wanting
ivar. She was divided into three
>arts: The Atlantic, which alone |
,rembled with rage at the German
nit rages; the middle west, with Chi-.
;ago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Milwaukee,
crowded with Germans, or pen- ,
>le of German desent, and then the
Pacific, which as far as exterior danger
is concerned, only knows the
inese peril, and who hoard of the |
sinking oi* the Lusi1ania iust as under j
he palm trees at Sorente the news is,

asting merit of having solidified the
hree parts of America. At his voice j

"Do not let us forget, either, that j
his voice sounded with incomparable |
loquence. eCrtain of Wilson s

vords were accompanied also with i
plendid deeds. Having once ac- |

"But this war was his ruin. He

limself as the professor of the whole

BLIND CHILDREN
TAUGHT TO READ
!n Mew York Schoo' It's Hard
to Distinguish Blind From
More Fortuante.
< l?y Mary Armstrong, in the X.
Evening Post.*
They arc studying? side by side in
some schools?those with eyes and
those who use their finger-tips instead?and
the marvel of it is that you
can rarely distinguish them by look
ing through the record book. For
where ever special provision is made
for assisting the blind it is found that
they not only keep abreast of their
class mates but usually rank above
the average in scholarship.
The Wadliegh and DeWitt Clinton
high schools have spccial arrangements
for giving these pupils just
enough help to smooth out the rough
places as they go along, and they
welcome boys and girls who wish to
have the privilege of studying with
normal pupils. Every effort pu'
forth to develop their independence,
however, and they are expected to
fulfill the regular requirement* and
to participate in outside activities
j wherever possible.
There is only one way to appreciate
what this keeping up with the unhandicapped
means. It is to close
vour eves tirrht and live your ov n
hi?*h school life over again. What
wou'd vou have been ablo to <lo in the
geometry class, wh?re the work <1
ma" \y ^ee'ng reh'l i- n^hi:> between
parts of figures'* Ov in the studying
of biology, where a knowledg? of
pennvns is essential? Or in the
' 'story class, where one n*u-:t usr*
maps t-> visualise important event *?
Close co-operation between the sp~
eia' teacher assigned to the blind and
the regular teacher is needed to
make the project practical, but when !
this entente has been established the !
nunils have little difficulty in masi'^r !
ing all the preschibed work. Hoth at ;
DeWitt, Clinton and Wad lei gh, I
where the blind pupils range from i
first term to post-graduate classes,
all are in good standing and show
lrre.'it interest in school affairs. At
Wadleigh the visitor found some girls
interested in home management, ad- j
vanced botany, and sanitation, withj
definite intentions of becoming home |
teachers after graduation.
!
"My girls are better than many of ;
the sighted pupils, for they have no j
distractions, and are unusually alert J
and dilligent," explained Miss
Louise E. Maver, the teacher in
charge of the work with the
blind at Wadleigh. "And as they
are always cheerful and appreciative
the other girls consider it a privilege
be ab'? to help them whenever
they can."
During their study periods the
special pupils report to Miss Mayer's
room, where, either under her direct!
supervision or working with pupil j
'volunteer*, they unravel the compli-j
cations of the assigned lessons. Each j
girl is expert in using her Hraille1
! writer (a machine operated iiko ;
jtypewriter for writing the raised j
code, as well as an ordinary type-'
wr;ter. which Hie uses l>v mean** of;
the t ouch system. In their o?vn room J
ithe twirls use these instruments freely1
without distu'binr the other nup;ls,j
and prepare their homework with ease i
'and skill.
One g*irl v. as workimr independont!ly
on an original ^eomehy prob'em i
when the visitor entered. On he" dtwk
lav a piece of cardl>oard on which was;
i pricked an efiui'ateral triangle lettered
in Braille. The original test had
been submitted to Miss Mavcr by tho
class teacher, and the 'att?r's parr
ihad been to put it in'o r- :,m foi* the
: handicapped |?u nil. With deftness
which made the observer blush at tho
j memory of her own strunfp'es with
' ^"' "inals" the giH attacker! her
, problem and soon had it neat'v f*\|rounded
by means of the Braille
writer.
Another was studying biology. vith
the help of a follow student. Two
Uu-tfe cushions wcro spread before
iher, 011 which the mysteries of a
j vertebra and the eye of a frog; were
j graphically diagramed with p'lij
heads. While text.-; of all subjects
are furnished in the Braille, such
11 illustrative material a- this is supjplemented
by the ingenuity of the
|< inl teacher. .Many small papier
ache relief maps for history work
i tare supplied to the individual stu
j.'ep.t. while much u <e of the physio'Uraphy
globe is also encouraged.
Th'? literature and language cour"
ses present real difficulties in con!
nection with supplementary reading,
according to Miss Mayer, sine1 a
'he books required are not available
I in the Braille. The heaviest part of
I tl.is work, however, is shouldered by
t the New YorV Association of tlu
Bl'nd, better known as the "lighthouse,"
which fur 11 i hes volunteei
s readers for those who come aftei
f school f<>r special help. In this wa'
r> the pupils are enabled to cover al1
i'|theJr outside reading within the re''Kiuired
time.

j'jforated metal device somewhat broat
' ifir than an ordinary ruler, throupfl
" which they prick their paper with i
small stylus. While not so convenient
as the Braille writer, the pockel
slate is more practical for classroon
[. use than the bulkier instrument, am
with this the pupils write their as
a jsi^nments and answer tests. Th'
y |teacher gives the papers to Mis
i. I Mayer, who interlines them in Eng
* llish and returns them for final cor
^ rection.
