EDUCATING THE CHILDREN.
The High-Pressure Plan Is Full 81
Danger.


There are many people who seem to
fancy that if children do not come
home from school with their arms full
of books, and with careworn and
thoughtful expression on their faces,
they are not learning anything. Their
gauge of progress seems to be built on a
high-pressure plan, and they entertain
very serious doubts about the POSSIBLE
ity of any royal road to learning.
This being the case, it is not at all sur
prising that teachers and school boards
should indulge in various examining
and crowding methods, and should make
an effort topush the children forward as
rapidly as possible. Indeed, they must
do this to earn their money, so to speak.
The injury done by this course is past
computation; children are overtaxed
and become worn out, fretful and irrit-
able. They do not advance as fast as
they ought to; indeed, it is impossible
| for them to do so. Then there is more
fretting and worrying on the part of
parents and teachers, and with the most
disastrous results.
Children break down, become dis
couraged and inattentiye; their minds
are incapable of grasping the enormous
| amount of material that is put before
them, and the inevitable reaction sets
in. Instead of making learning inter-
esting and engaging their attention
| and enthusiasm, they are made into
mere machines and pushed to their ut
| most, even though, as is often the case,
| the teachers know it to be hopeless
struggle.
An experienced instructor has said
that child will learn about five times
as much when the studies are made
pleasant and agreeable, and this amount
will be increased if anything like en-
thusiasm can be awakened. Admitting
that this is true, it is the most weari-
some and thankless of tasks to force
upon young children such compre-
hensiye course of study as that laid
down in some of our public schools.
The drill and monotony of hard work
are inevitable, but judicious and we'll
selected teacher will enthuse the pu-
pills either on the subject of their books
or give an incentive in the way of pro-
motions and preferences that is GER
tain to have most happy effect ON the
minds of little ones. ..,
1t is the height of absurdity to see
children of II or IL years studying
philosophy and similar branches.
There is time enough for this when
they have reached the ages of Is or IS.
Fundamental physiological truths
should be taught to every child while
in its cradle, and should be followed by
the few important facts necessary for
it to know, until it has reached at least
years of incipient discretion.-N. Y.

Linseed Cake In the Dairy.

AS milk and butter producer,
ground linseed cake has no equal. 1t
not only increases the flow of milk, but
adis greatly to its richness in cream.
With COW accustomed TO corn meal.
bran. shorts and the like, the increase
will be from one to two quarts at each
milking, within "a hours after begin
aing with the ground linsecd cake. \
cow, to be able to give full flow OF
milk, must have food richer in nitrogen
than would be required for any other
animal. since milk itself is composed
largely of albuminoids, and this can
only be supplied from food containing
this substance. The first demand of
cow upon the nitrogen of food is to sup
ply waste of tissue, and only the sur
plus will go to milk.-Coleman's Rural

The Pin Basket.

One of the newest If new things this
winter is the pin basket. To make a
pretty one buy small, shallow basket
1t should be quite fresh and new. II
possible secure one in which the edges
are nicely finished off with basket lace
work. Line it with silk of some pale
shade-pink, blue, green or violet. Make
the lining loose and puffy. Only the
bottom of the baske. is lined. Around
the sides-insidc, of course-are at least
half dozen minute pincushions made
of the same silk as was used in lining
The cushions should be attached to the
basket with baby ribbon of the required
shade. One cushion is filed with ordi.
nary pins, another with white-headed,
anotherwith black, and so on. A pretty
idea is to gid the basket before trim
ming it.-St. Louis Republic.

THE TAX THAT COUNTS.

100000, 900 tons of freight. Every year
the amount increases. Every pound OF
this freight is carried and carried over
our roads and streets before it gets to
the railroads; millions of tons are
hauled in wagons and sold in the coun.
try towns and consumed by the local
buyer. Here is the farmers end of it;
hay, 100000 tons-thinll of hauling
64,OOO,00o loads of hay TO market on
cereals; 100000 tons OF potatoes; g,
100000 tons of cotton; total, 152 ,00O,0 900
tons, not counting the mud ON the
wagon wheels.
''The road and the wagon are the twin
handmaidens of agriculture that at
tend the farmer on every journey to
market and they are forever at odds
with each other. If the man who sold
that wagon to the farmer had tried to
sell that road to him, homicide would
have become virtue; 152 900, 900 tons of
produce; $500,0O0,000 paid for farm i'm
plenents and machinery to harvest it
with; $1,2OO,OOO,OOO invested in farm
anu W uIuB IL W u.
Think of it! Think of being director
in a corporation with that amount of
business on hand, with countless mil
lions of paid-up capital invested, and
think of doing business in mortar
bed! Think of waiting for the mud to
dry up! Sixteen million horses and
mules idle in the stables; 100000 a
day for horse feed; $2s,0C0,OO0 week
Think of the loss of time and labor, the
dwarfed and shrunken values of our
farms, of the slack supply and good
prices, when the roads are impossible.
Think OF the procession of farmers that
rush to town and glut the market in
the firstdays of dry weather, and think
of the paltry prices they get when every
body is trying to sell to an overstocked
market - -..... fa." e H#..

Now is the time to make trays for

such trays are in use on an extensive

TEXAS TO THE FRONT.
Great Road Convention to BE Held a
Galveston, May 22.

Great Road Convention to BE Held at
Galveston, May 22.
There is one especially encouraging
feature of the good-roads movement.
1t is the activity in that direction in
regions remote from centers of popula7
ton.
A convention of delegates represent
ing the great state of Texas is to be
. held in Galveston, beginning on May
n. In Arkansas state convention was
held at Little Rock i'm February, in
which a resolution was adopted rec
ommending constitutional amend
ment empowering county authorities
to levy special tax for carrying on
a work of general highway improve
ment. Similar steps have been taken
in several other states of the south and
west.
Another encouraging feature of the
movement is general disposition to
profit by the experience of other coun-
tries--notably of France, which has
perhaps the finest wagon-roads of any
country. Good roads are more easily
made and kept in order there than in
most countries, because of the scarcity
of forest areas, which conserve moisture
and render somewhat more difficult the
keeping of highways in repair. But it
is possible and well worth the while
to have good roads and still preserve
the desired areas of natural forest The
time is not distant when the neglect of
either of these important interests viii
be matter of general public regret,
and will be viewed as public misfor-
tunc.-Youth's Companion.
