THE RURAL SCHOOL,
It should Rehcct the Larger Life Without and Prepare It's Pupils
 For n Better Future.

Mir. Branson, of Georgia, has re- gently told in the Worlds Work the story of the model rural schools which the Federation of Womens clubs is helping to establish in that state. In speaking of one, he said, "The common school subjects will be taught. of course. But cooking. the cultivation of school gardens, q half dozen forms of remunerative handi- crafts, a school library, mothers club. and q fortnightly institute for the teachers of the county will be some of the features of this school. Yea. verify; why not? Why not in- clude in the work of the school so much of the work of the community as the children can appreciate and employ in their own education? A school Is place in which children should live and move and have their being. It should reflect the larger life without and prepare its pupils for . better life in the future by helping life in the present. That which is treated with respect in school, wheth- CT it be arithmetic or grammar. cot ton picking or hog raising, religion or politics, will rarely be an object of contempt after school. Time and ex- perience will eliminate what is use- less or harmful in the curriculum and methods Of such experimental schools.-The Worlds Work.

BRAVE WORDS AND TRUE.
The Country Pastor Can Do Much For the Revival of the Educa-
 tionaI Spirit In the South.

The country pastor with the revival of the educational spirit that is spreading now to all parts of the south, has a peculiar opportunity for greatly enlarging his sphere of use- fulness by throwing the weight of his influence into this educa tional move ment. He is generally, and he ought to be, the best educated man in the community. Religion has often be- gun it's beneficent course with the ig- norant. But education, by it's very nature, must spread from above to the planes below. Only he who knows something of what education is de- sires its blessings for his children; and the most discouraging thing about the progress of education is the indifference toward it by those who need it most The minister, with his gifts of public speaking. with his known attitude towards the things that are good and helpful, and with his personal influence over the peo- pie of his community, can certainly accomplish more than any other man in the educational campaign, and it may as well be recognized that with out his aid the battle is lost for our generation.
 Then, because the minister knows what an education is and how the schools should be equipped and what kind of teaching the children ought to have, he can go farther than sim ply stirring up the people to the need of better educational facilities and to the advantage of an education in the abstract. He can see to it that cdu- cational officers, from the country superintendent to the teacher in the smallest backwoods school in the country, are the best that can be got ten for the places to be filled. This is not an agreeable task, but right here the best plans are sometimes brought to naught and it is better to hurt a few private feelings some- times, than to let public interests, es- pecially those that affect every home, suffer for want of some man with the courage and sense to speak.-Presby- teTian Standard.

SOUTHERN
 EDUCATION
TWO ESSENTIAL FACTORS.
Good schools and Good Roads Will Go Far to Solve More Than
 One Southern ProbIem.

in his message to the Virginia as- sembly Gov. A. !. Montague brought together the advocacy of two impor- tant undertakings closely related to each other which, if carried to com pletion. will solve more than one weighty southern problem. He allud- ed to the impairment of the efficiency of rural schools through the tendency to multiply them. He said that strong CT schools, with longer terms were needed; that they would command better teachers, and would admit of the classification necessary to insure the best results from the money spent for educational purposes. Qual- ity rather than quantity was needed in education, he said, and he argued that the state could better afford to transmit it's children to one good school than to place an indifferent school near the home of every pupil.
 Further on in his message he made an earnest plea for the improvement of the public highways. Virginia is spending about $500,000 annually upon it's roads without any appreciable im- provement of them, he said, and he expressed the conviction that the de- sired end was to be reached through construction of roads in accordance with improved methods and under re- sponsible capable and scientific su- pervision.
 If his suggestion as to the trans- portation of children to school is to be adopted" says the same authori- ty, good roads are an absolute per- requisite, for while it is cheaper to transport children to good schools than to build poor schools within reach of all the children, it would still be waste of money to build good school as long as the condition of public highways forbade trans portation. Good schools and good roads are necessary for good results from taxation for public education"
 This is well said, and for a ajority of the counties of the south it is true. But why should not many of the counties adopt the plan used in Bun- combe county, North Carolina? The schools there are open in the late spring. summer and fall for the small children, and the attendance is splen- did. The roads are always good in good weather--Southern Farm Maga- zine.

PLEASED WITH HIS RECORD.
Young Vanderbilt Hopes. However. to Do sun Bctter with His
 Automobile.

Sporting circles in Paris have been in a ferment since w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr., smashed the automobile record for both a mile and a kiiometer. His time for the mile was 0: IS e-5. and the lllo- meter 0:29 2-5. Fournier's mile record of 0:51 4-5 was made on Ocean park way, New York. last November.
 Serpollet's kilometer record of 0:29 4-5. made at Nice last winter, had hitherto stood against the attacks of the best chauffeurs with the best machines.
 The French automohilists, although somewhat annoyed by what they cou- sider another defeat-following close ly upon Edge securing the interna- tional cup and Jarrott, another Eng lishman, winning the great 30o-mile race in Belgium last heartily praise Mir.

one hour. Automobiles as now built ought to be able to travel so or 90 miles an hour easily. given proper roads and proper handling. The trouble with chauffeurs is that their experience has not yet been sufficiently varied. Most of the breakdowns are from some mistake during the excitement caused by high speed.
 "When l return home I shall make every effort to iIdlfce the American automobile clubs to adopt the xii" meter instead of the mile, for. besides being much easier to measure, it would familiarize the people with the metric system and pave the way to it's adoption throughout the United States as whole"

HOW HANDLE CUT FLOWERS

Most cut flowers will remain fresh much longer if placed in water only with those of their own kind. The water should be changed daily in any case, and the flower stems we'll washed before replacing in the vases.
 Mignonette, heliotrope and most woody flowers are better away from other flowers after cut ting, since they deeompose quickly. And single decaying leaf or stem will cause speedy fading for the con tents of large vase.
 A few drops of ammonia or a small pinch of salt will aid in keeping flow CTS fresh occasionally. Place in the bottom of the vase or receptacle and pour the fresh water on top. But do not allow the medicated waters to touch the blossoms.
 Heliotrope may be kept fresh some time by dipping the freshly-eu stem tips into water just of the boil. Dip again, into very cold water this time, and set in a cold and shady place No cut flowers will stand hot sunshine or dry, hot ar.
 The fancy for placing each kind of flower by itself has many points to commend it. The artistic Japanese flower lovers follow this mode almost invariably And the Celia Thaxter way of arranging single blossoms. in tiny vases in TOW about the room result. in much delicate loyeliness and shows off the flowers we'll.
 Tall, long-stemmed flowers should have tall vases, as a rule; lov-grow- ing blossoms bowls or low holders. If the latter must be placed in a high receptacle, drop some stems or leaves into the water for artistic effect And surround each flower with its own foli- age whenever this can be done.

The Tenderfoot in Wyoming %
BY E. K. WOOLEY.

| THE Tenderfoot sidled cautiously around the half-open door of the l Managing Editors sanctum, after which he deliberately and with ex. treme care seated himself upon the softest chair therein.

 Here he shifted his position slight Y, with an accompanying groan.

Henry Knox was elected Secretary
at War" by Congress. and so con-
tinued until 1888, when the Constitu-
ton was adopted. Under this instru
ment Congress created an executive
department" to be "denominated the
Department of War" the principal
officer therein, to be called the Secre-
tary for the Department of War"
Then it was that the old title, "Secre-
tary at War" was dropped and the
title of Secretary of War" now in
use, was adopted. Thus the Board
of War and Ordnance" finally grew
into the Department of War" now
called the War Department"

of the Saginaw river He was a sol
der in the Fourth Michigan Cavalry
under Lieut.. Col. Pritchard. and was

there was also a Henry Malone in the
C. S. Navy. Malone gives q very cor
rect account of the capture and denies
that Mr. Davis wore a hoop skirt or
any female apparel of that character.
He says Mrs. Davis simply threw a
loose wrapper over her husbands
head and shoulders. But ii did not
hide his boots and spurs, so Malone
says. and that was why he was detect
ed on his way to the spring for water,
his purpose being to escape from that
point on a cavalry horse. Malone says
