Rew u differs from the Beck Learning
sf Oar fsrefsfbers.

sf Our rsrsfsfhers.
The most careless observer cannot fail 20
note the changes in educational methods
which have been introduced In recent
times aud tn divers phases Of education
the kindergarten. industrial education.
manual training. out Of door Glasses Ia
botany and geology. laboratory work and
seminary methods In the higher courses.
The most careless observer may not. how.
ever, realize that these new methods are
all parts OF symmetrical whole. different
phases OF that new education which isquite
Is characteristic OF our time as the new
scienec or the new theology.
The Traditional education aimed to give
informal ion. ii treated the mind as re-
cepsaele and knowledge an the material
with which the before empty receptacle
was to be- flied And a. information Is
for the most part contained In books, the
old education was bookish- IL began with
the alphabet; Il proceeded by means OF
text books; It's aim was TO give the student
what those text books contained: IL ex.
amlned him only or chiefly to ascertain
whether he had possessed himself OF their
contents.
Under this system the pupil studied bot
any without looking at q flower, geology
out inspecting the stars, navigation with
out going ON board ship. surveying without
going out of doors. chemistry without
seeing a retort.
| The new education differs from the old
education, not In method merely or mainly
!, but In purpose. It's object h to give. moi
| information, but power. IL does not begin
with the alphabet Its first object Is, mo-
| to teach its uupil 10 read but TO obserY,
and TO do Therefore the kindergarten.
II does not proceed by means OF the text
book. II Uses the text book as little n
possible: sets It's pupils to study things
not the literary conception OF things
Therefore the laboratory and the out o
door experimental classes in natnra
science. II seeks to train the will no les
than the intellect: to endow its pupil
with power to do as well as 10 think
Therefore the manual and industrial
classes. and the gymnastic and militar.
| drill
IL seeks to develop the affections and tn
emotions-faith. hope. love, reverence, con
science. Hence IL demands in the school
literatures, not mere philosophy. hut litera
TURF. Hence. too, IL demands religion, no
for the sake Of dry ms dust catechisms an
theoloeies, but for the sake of that dee
sense Of righteousness. that clear sense O
the invisible, that appreciation Of the sub
lime, the venerable, the divine, which cor
stitutes the essence of religion, because
constitutes the essence Of life.-Christia

made productive

| acres, profitles made productive
by the construction of irrigatng ditches and there
is no investment which assures larger or more
permanent returns
The foregoing statements are not exaggerated;
in fact they fall short of doing justice to this won
derful land. Pineapples, dates, almonds and wal
nuts will do we'll Strawberries, raspberries, black
berries currants gooseberries and all varieties of
small fruits can be successfully cultivated Indeed
Yuma County is not only the natural home of the
citrus and semi tropical fruits, as almost every
fruit, nut, plant, grain, grass or vegetable which
eau be produced in either tropic temperate zone,
will thrive in its rich and fertile soils.
WHY EMMIGRAxTs SHOULD COME TO YUMA
COUNTY.
Because the climate is perfect:
Because the soil is fertile and prolific.
Because land is abundant and cheap.
Because a home can be made with little
labor.
Because so great variety of products
can be grown.
Because the yield is large and the priced
always remunerative.
Because life is a luxury in a land where
the sun shines every day.
Because there are chances for poor man
which he can never hope to find in older
countries.
Because the country is advancing and
property values are increasing.
Because, unlike Southern California it
does not require small fortune to secure a
piece of land!
Because capital does not block all the av-
enues to wealth, nor crowd the poor man
to the wall
Because Uncle Sam has yet many farms
in Yuma county waiting for occupants.
Because churches, schools, newspapers
and railroads are fast developing the moral
and material elements of the Territory.
Because good land is becoming scarce, and
if you don't catch on now, your last chance
will soon be gone.
Because the country is one of the few
regions of the Uuited States that yields the
products of the temperate and semi-tropic
zones.
Because the worker receives a fair COM
pensation for his labor, and the 'rustler' has
a field for the display of his energy and en-
terprise.
Because there are neither billiards. or
tornadoes, earthquakes nor foundations,
snow-storms nor cyclones.
Because the vast and varied resources of
the country are yet to be developed
Because the wealth of its mines, its farm
ing valleys, and grazing lands, will yet build
up great and prosperous county.
Because man can make livelihood her,
with less labor than in any other part of the
United States
Because there is health in every breeze,
and strength and vigor under its cloudless
skies.
Because the settler need not spend life
time in telling trees and grubbing out
stumps.
Because vegetation is so rapid that in two
years the home is surrounded by growth
of trees and shrubs which would require
five years to develop in colder cline.
Because fortunes here await the venture
some, and health welcomes the afflicted.
Because the country has brilliant future
and you want TO be in the ''swim."
Because in its pure, dry invigorating air,
epidemic diseases cannot live or terminate.
Because its people are generous, liberal,
hospitable and progressive.

THE CLIMATE OF YUMA.

The climate of Yuma for nine months of
the year has no equal, as we believe, in the
world, and during the remaining three
months of the year, comprising June, July
and August, the heat is not oppressive.
Even though the thermometer in mld-sum
mer may az times rise above 1902, and &C.
casionally even reach lIO0, yet, owing to
the absence of moisture in the air, it is not
oppressive. The atmosphere is pure, light
and balmy. When the mercury marks the
highest extreme of heat, person does not
feel that oppression or debility which is
felt in the Eastern States when the mer.
curry is ranging from so to 90. The air is
so dry that perspiratlon is absorbed as soon
as it reaches the surface of the body, and
at no time in the summer does the heat
produce any discomfort.

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA

WHY CAPITAL SHOULD SEEK YUMA COUNTY
Because its mines are the richest.
Because its grazing lands are the best.
Because its farming lands are valuable and
productive.
Because it gives assurance of the largest
returns on money invested.
Because its grand resources are yet to be
developed.
Because it is young, growing county
with an assured future
Because the opportunities for engaging in
manufacturing enterprises are better than in
any other region of the West.
Because good mining properties can be had
at reasonable figures.
Because there is a demand for additional
facilities for ore reduction.
Because there are vast stretches of rich
soil to be reclaimed by the construction of
irrigating canals.
Because there are large tracts of grass
lands that can be utilized by the sinking OF
artesian wells.
Because there are many openings in new
country which cannot exist in older COM
munities.
Because the opportunities for engaging in
the successful cultivation of semi-tropic
fruits are better than in any other part of
the United States.
Because property values are rapidly ad-
vancing.
Because Arizona's boom is yet to come.
Because it is-a virgin field, ready for the
seed which will produce golden harvest.
