Reform in Schools-

William Allen White, the Kansas editor who won fame years ago by his ringing article on “What’s the Matter with Kansas? is now trying to tell the people what is the matter with the schools. He says: “In schools pupils should be taught by every mechanism of the system that good work pays better than poor work. As it stands, it takes the tolerably bad stndent and the excellent student the same number of years to go through the grades into the high sciiool and through college into life. Aside from the injustice of this plan, consider how it propogates laziness by 'rewarding it. Does not the system of counting equally for promotion every grade except absolute failure, instill in youth the belief that life is a lottery? Suppose that the student who does excellent work—perfect work—in every branch might be graduated from the grades into the high school, and from the high school into the college, and from the college into life two or three years ahead of his easy-go-ing fellows —all accomplished from the system of grades based not upon the temperament of teachers, of snap or hard courses, but upon the law of human averages; would there not be an immense gain in the moral sense of that youth?”

Dr. Frank Crane, of Chicago, " too, has been saying things abont the school system. He is always vigorous, and what he says has at least the merit of novelty. Here are a few of his “notions” about schools and the school system; “Our schools are malordorous with the dregs of class notions. “The system is a Procrustean bed. If the yonng one is too short, stretch him; if too long, lop off his hands and feet. The main thing is the bed; it ought to be the child.

“The child of to-day learns more in the school yard than in the schoolroom, for at play he learns the principles of democracy and citizenship. His life should be all play, and the true teacher tenches him to make work play. “Our educational idea is to make a boy an exceptional man; it ought to make him a well trained common man, - It is calculated to bring a child to a certain standard; it ought to bring out what is in the child. “Grades, examinations and civil service are three arrant humbugs, and the examination is the supreme one. The teacher that needs an examination to ascertain a child’s qualifications ought to be plowing corn. Writing about a thing is n mere trick, and is no sign of n practical knowledge of the thibg. , *

“There is many a girl in our modern schools, who can prattle about the square of a right-angle triangle, and knows nothing of the flowers that brush her pretty ankles as she walks to school. She knows nothing of the stars at which she gazes when she talks to her beau. She knows nothing abont the life sustaining plants growing in the ground on which she walks; has no understanding of parental domestic problems, nor of the care of her body and goes forth into the world totally unfit to be a wife or mother.”

The program given was as follows:—

WARNER y PECK,

The Smile in the Mirror.

The world is like a looking glass; if yon smile in it, it smiles back; if yon frown, it frowns. Yon may hear it said that one of the conditions of life yon cannot make or alter is environment —that it is fixed, inflexible, and that yon are helplessly bound by it. This is not true. He who thinks the world fnll of good people and kindly blessings is far richer than he who thinks the contrary Each man’s imagination largely peoples the world for himself. Some live in a world peopled with princes of the royal blood; others, in the same environment, move in a world of pauperism, crime and privation. The difference is all in the mental attitude.

nary 1, 1914, this rule will be changed, and the first man who gets to the recorder’s office will be entitled to have his instrument recorded and it will be good against any later comer. Under Miis law a man might sell you a farm in the morning and sell the same farm to another in the afternoon. If the second purchaser got his deed on record first he would hold the land. Better commence getting quick action right now, and then yon will be in practice when the new law takes effect.

Psychology has pretty well established the theory that ghosts are the creations of the subjective mind —and trouble finding is very like ghost seeing. One sees frightful goblins in life, which, if properly traced, will be found to begin and end in one’s own mind. Refuse to believe in them, and they cease to exist. A melancholy thought that fixes itself upon one’s mind ought to have just as prompt doctoring as pronounced physical disease. It is a disease, self inflicted. It is for you to say whether the mirror of life shall reflect to you smiles or frowns. It is for you to say whether you will grouch in the glooms, the companion of hateful goblins, or stride in the bright sunshine, seeing smiles and catching shreds of song

There is a saying that "rapid eating is slow suicide. ’* If you have formed the habit of eating too rapidly you are most likely suffering from indigestion or constipation, which will result eventually in illness unless corrected. Digestion begins in the month. Food should be thoroughly masticated and insalivated. Then when you have a fullness of the stomach or feel dull and stupid after eating, take one of Chamberlain’s Tablets. Many severe cases of stomach trouble and constipation have been cured by the nse of these tablets. They are easy to take and most agreeable in effect. Sold by all dealers. Adv.
