WORTH CONSIDERING.

Take the Bright view of life.
Many a one cries for lost honor.
Happiness comes from helping
others.
A pleasant face is like seeing a
friend.
Sorrow will teach more than SER
mon.
1t is easier to give counsel than to
take it.
Friendship and love bring us nearer
to God.
The best way to pity anyone is to
help him.
A laugh is just like music; it fingers
in the heart.
Eternal vigilance is the price of all
good things.
Better be pieceing the threads that
are broken.
A laugh is like sunshine ; it bright
ems all the day.
God accepts the imperfect takes
us Just as we are.
Gather all the sunshine; let the
dreary things go by.
When inertia gets hold of you tele-
phone for the doctor.
Long hair and scrawling signatures
don't make genius.
Kind words are short to speak. but
their echo is endless.
A friend is one who knows all about
you and still loves you.
An arm to help the weak; strong
hand to the friendless.
It is the foolish one who makes
mistakes the second time.
No matter where you are, never
look for the clouds of life.
Take the truth with you-carry II
out with you always live by it.
The sound of a sigh don't carry
we'll !; the light of laugh goes far.
There is no last hope; when we
think it is all gone another come:
before US.
Let no man think he is alone, TO
where man is there also is God
(From the Koran.
As the boy is father to the man, s.
is the girl the mother to the woman
And the hand that rocks the cradl
rules the world.

THE LESSON BE LEARNED.

Three young men were discussing
their respective ambitions in life.
One said that he saw little chance
for advancement where he was and
that almost daily he was tempted to
give up his position and try in some
other part of the world for a larger
degree of success. Another, more
experienced than the first, told how
in ten years he had advanced himself
from the ranks of clerk behind the
counter to the position of assistant
buyer in one of the departments.
The Philadelphia Telegraph repeats
these experiences, and adds that OF
third, a collegebred man, who had
listened intently to his companions:
"Boys," he said, II was reared in

MO TIE DIN OF THE CITY.

Sometimes. mid the din of the city,
Where the race Is eager for gain,
And the cares Of daily existence
Press heavy on shoulder and brain.
Our thoughts fly away TO the country.
Where the silence IL restful and deep;
With no sound but the lowing OF cattle
And the patient bleat Of the sheep.
In the meadows the sheep and the cattle,
Unhampered by sorrow or care.
Have never q problem to vex them,
And never O burden to bear.
They 60 to their place in the evening,
When the sun sinks low IN the West;
No thought OF the cares OF tomorrow
Will break the peace OF their rest.
But man must eat-it Is written
HIS bread by the sweat of his brow;
And under anxieties many
His heart forever must bow.
Each day brings duties to claim him,
Each hour has burdens TO suit,
Can it be that the life Of human
Il harder than that Of the brute
All. no for these creatures unheeding.
Though they know not trouble or care,
Neither know they the love of the Father;
Nor the blessed eolace of prayer,
And be who has known Of the harvest
That labor unceQsing can yield.
Would not give up his place at the furrow
For the lot Of the beast of the held.
For this is the rule OF existence,
That burden and blessing are kin:
And gratitude, love and affection
Through sacrifice often We win.
This life would be robbed Of tts meaning,
II we lived as the birds OF the air;
When hardship and SORROW We share:

/ sUaeEsTIoH FOR RURAL TEACHERS.
A. Ross Hill, dean of the Missouri
Teachers College, says:

"a. KOSS Hill, oeau OF tuS MlSSOuIl
Teachers College, says:
I'm the district school perhaps the
greatest problem for the teacher is to
keep the pupils interested in the work
Of the school. The whole thing
seems so unnatural to the pupil, to
| the boy in particular. The boy is
right. The life he is expected to
lead during school hours is SO artifi-
cial and unnatural as compared with
his activity outside of school hours
THAT it is little wonder that he grows
restless and loses interest in the work
of the school, if indeed his interest in
| It is ever awakened at all. The
remedy for this condition of affairs is
To be found in making the conditions
|of school life more like those of the
home and of the community. Now
fof the boy from the farm this much
xseded change can be most easily and
effectively brought about by the in
PRODUCTION of elementary agriculture
as one of the subjects Of study in
school,. The boys interests in farm
ing operations have already been
awakened at home and if the school
will but utilize these interests and
show the relation of farming to other
industries 10 trade, and to progress
in all that makes for mans comfort,
it will be quite easy to interest him
in such other subjects as history,
geography and arithmetic. These
subjects will come to mean something
to him because he will see their rela-
ton to the farm activities, in which
he is already interested. Besides,
the boys observations outside of
school have already introduced him
to the elements of many sciences, and
instead of putting him at work in
school on subjects entirely foreign to
his education up to the time he en-
tered, these elements of knowledge
should be made the starting point of
his school work. F"
True and suggestive as all this is,
still it would be difficult to put it into
practice. The routine of instruction
the teachers get at Normal School
is not in the line of what Mr.. Hill
urges. Again, three-fourths of our
teachers are females and know very
little about farm life and care less.
They must teach as they are taught
themselves, and SO they pay more at
tention to textbooks and abstract
studies, like grammar, than to the
concrete in the every day common
life around them. What is called
our System" of education gives tde
rural lad an undue veneration for
textbooks and book knowledge, for
the greatness and glory of both he
hears from the cradle up. Our edu-
cational life is a very artificial one.
It half sneers at the plow handle and
the chemistry of the compost pile.
In consequence, conceit drives too
many boys from the farm who will
make failures in other callings. IA
little learning is dangerous thing"

WISCONSIN WILL
KEEP CONTRACTS
Tho Sentiment Favors Lighter
Schedules, Athletic Authorities
Deny They Will Bolt.
journal Special Service.

Madison, Wis, Nov 21 The report that Wis
consn will drop Chicago Michigan from its
football schedule next year is said by the uni
vers1ty athletic authorities to be untrue. While
there is considerable discussion among coaches
players and others regarding the advisability Of
scheduling only two premier games each season.
1t Is generally admitted that Wisconsin will be
unable to do so for at least two or three years
Existing contracts provide for games with Chi
cago. Michigan and Minnesota next year, and IN
less such agreements are broken, which is en-
t1rey unlikely, Wisconsin will contest with those
institutions usual.
Captain Vanderboom, president of the Athletic
association, seid: ''Whilc it is quite generally
believed that it would be better for us to play
not more than two big games each season, it
does not appear to me now that it be ar
ranged for at least two years We have played
three big games every season during the last
four years. Our great difficulty has been in
keeping the men on edge for such long season.
We enjoy the frendliest relations with all three
or the other big institutions, and situated as
we are, l think it will be found exceedingly
difficult to drop any of them
Graduate Manager Downer said: "There has
been considerable talk of cutting our football
schedule from three to two big games a season.
The talk has been indulged in more or less since
we began the three e-game schedule four years
ago. 1t invariably revives at the end of each
season. Under existin gocntracts, 1 don't see
how we will be able to drop any of our rivals
for several years at least. OF course a two
game schedule would be better for the team
and give a better chance to win than at
present. This. however, is a matter that the
athletic authorities will doubtless decide in good
time. There doesn't seem to be much probabil
ity of any of our rivals being dropped for some
time"

PENNA., IN FEAR, IS
DEMANDING HARD WORK

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-The Pennsylvania
coaches have admitted that it was Columbia
not the Cornell game that they feared. The prac-
tice yesterday was the hardest of the season.
and the men worked until it was too dark to
see the ball. A strong scrub was on the field
but the varsity managed to score five touch
downs while the second team crossed the var
sity's goal line twice, due principally to fum-
bling.
Dr.. Staufer, the referee Of the Cornell game
on Saturday, was on hand and assisted Head
Coach Dickson with the linemen. Stauffer was
severe with the players and penalized them
for holding and offside play. AS Mr.. Edwards,
who made such an excellent official in the Penn
sylvania- Harvard game, and who was not afraid
to- infict penalty when he discovered the men
ofside or holding, will cffciate at New York
on Saturday, the coaches decided to break the
men of these faults. Before the practice ended
1t was clear that they had benefited and were
playing good clean football.

In GRUELLING BATTLE
Journal Special Service.

journal Special Service.
Ann Arbor, Nov. 21.-Members of the Michigan
team are taking life easy, and the only demand
made Of them yesterday was to appear at the
gymnasium where they enjoyed salt bath and
rest. Kiene Fitzpatrick's ability as trainer
was again emphasized by the fact that Michi-
gan men came out of. the game on Saturday in
perfect physical condition. This is saying a
good deal, considering the hard, gruellng battle
the men had to put up from start to finish.
Captain Norcross is again out, and feels no
effect from the hard blows on his head. Mchi-
gan feels lucky in having such an able substi-
tute quarterback as Al Barlow.
There was good deal of money exchanged
on the result of Michigan's victory, most of it
being at odds ranging from to 1 and 2 to l.
Quite lump of Michigan money was lost on
bets as to the size Of the score.
Manager Baird in speaking Of the b1eachers
which fell, expressed his gratitude that there
We're no serious injuries following the fall. He
said that twenty minutes before the collapse
came the carpenters who were watching the
stands came to him and told him that this one
was shaky and would surely fall. Everything
was done to get the people to leave quietly. but
in the excitement of the game they paid no
attention to the warning until too late.
Jake Stahl, former Illinois star and after
wards manager Of the Washington Americans,
was head linesman. His opinion Of the game
was if the score had been to / the relative
strength Of the two teams would have better
represented. Whatever element of luck there
was in the contest, it seemed to favor Michigan.
