She is generally known as the “light bringer” and is the pat- roness of Italian fishermen Lucretia was the name of two fa- mous women.

Before the beautiful Lucre- tia was actually killed. however, she was cruelly taunted with her Leauty and was mutilated to increase her agony before being released by death The other Lucretia is a Lucretia of fiction, heroine of the interesting romance by Bulwer-Lytton, “Lucretia; or, The Children of the Night. She was u shrew, who married to her worldly advantage rather than where her affections really lay. Lucretia seems an unfortunate name.

The pathetic hervine of Sir Walter Scott’s novel, “The Bride of Lammermoor,” was Lucy Ashton. who is Lucfa in the operatic version of the story.

BY GRACE BATCHELLOR. What is a socialized school? And why? There seem to be many opin- fons on the subject and as many ver- sions of it as there are people who teach it. But, at any rate, it is one of the many new ways of teaching that have been springing up in all parts of the country since it been discovered that there is thing wrong with the school one version of it is this It is a school that is apparently conducted by the children. They do the opening and the closing, and all that goes between. This does not mean that one child or certain chil- dren “play teacher,” for a truly wo- clalized school s quite democratic. lach child, -although he may hav charge of one of the activities that going on, is responsible to himself and to the class. The class as a whole conducts the lessons. They the questions and answer them; they bring in material and informa- tion on the subject at hand; they help the slow ones and commend the quick: they have discussions, more or less heated. on vital questions of past. present and future—such as conditions in Russia and Turkey, or how to operate sawmills, gold mines and marionette theaters, or the best way to trap a fox Ruled by Public Opinfon. There is in most classes some one who knows something about each subject that comes up. There is also the child who can talk about every- thing under the sun. He can use this talent to great advantage if he does it in moderation. with due regard for his neighbor, who also may wish to contribute something. If he so far forgets himself as to try to do the whole lesson, he finds that public| opinfon {s against him, and desists. And so he learns a valuable lesson in self-control. The child who, on the other hand. s inclined not to do | his share on account of shyness or inattention, -is helped by means of encouragement or disapproval, as the case may be. Now, all this would seem to be 2 case of no work and all play for the teacher. But this is far from true The socializing process is not an | eagy one. It fs not done in a day or in several. Young chil- | dren or t who have been very dependent the teacher, find it hard to develop habits of self-reliance d initiative, and once they are d the children are apt to run amuck—of the track and Into each other. This is where the teacher, must atep in. to help establish stand- ards of “self-control and concentra- | tion. Then, after a certain amount of | skill in handling the process has been | ucquired, and it js working smoothly | and working fast, she has to work quite fast herself in order to keep up with the thing that hay been started. Go Afield for Facts. | The children do not depend entirely, | of course, upon the more or less ac- curate opinions that are given by | members of the class. They prey upon | the public I{brary, newspapers, maga- {zines, parents, friends and strangers. Tradesmen of the nelghborhood are pressed for detaily zbout their goods and occupations. FEven Lee Sing of the Chinese laundry does not escape. One accommodating “boarder” at the home of a pupil, who had just con- veniently returned from South Amer- fca. supplied the class with facts {about that country, for a period of iseveral weeks. While usually relfa- ble, the information obtained in this way is sometimes colored by the per- one who furnishes it, as in the case of Herman Schnelder, a'stout child with blue Teutonic eves, | who brought back a report that Eng- lieh sparrowe were quarrelsome. birds Y.
