Educational' Outrapes.

Outrages upon the bodies and minds
OF the rising generation committed
under the pretext of advancing and
peffectins American education are
becoming SO frequent and SO motor
lous that protests against them are
coming in increasing numbers from
observers not under the hypnotic spell
which has led SO many American
parents to yield to the State all their
duties and responsibilities to their off
spring. Among the latest protesters
is the Western Recorder. which saws.
"We are sorry for this generation of
school children in our large cities.
The science Of pedagogy is yet in the
experimental stage. They are work
ing out the pedagogical problems
on the helpless children attending the
public schools 1t is hoped that in a
few years some satisfactory results
will be reached, and then the time of
experiments will be c,er. But in the
meantime the dear@children are to be
experimental on with various peda-
gogica1 methods. If these children
are ruined they will have the salts
fatcion of knowing that they perished
III the interest of science. and SO they
can be comforted Meantime, we are
sorry for the children They have
no redress. They are compelled to
submit to whatever methods the
scientific theor1st may decide to use.
If these methods turn ont to be hurt
full, then improved methods will be
thereby suggested, and thus pedagog-
lcal science viii make progress. Who
does not see that it is expedient for
the world that one generation of city
children perish rather than for peda-
gogical science to fall to advance?
We are sorry for the children, all the
same
This bit of common sense refers,
apparently, only to experiments made
them mere helpless babes, permitted
by parents under the sway of the
rankest, most virulent and most in
tolerant denagogy that has ever
cursed a nation, the demagogy of
pedagogy, or pedemagogy. as it has
been called, demagogy which, while
pretending to cultivate the spirit of
democracy and to remove the schools
from politics. is really working for
the removal of the administration of
the schools from the close touch of
the people, IS building UP a system of
the rottenest kind of personal politics
with the school superintendent, out
of touch with the people, as the
boss promoting the interest of his
or his Hunkies at the public expense
and ready to favor any fad calculated
to increase his Importance in the eyes
of the groundlings. and is developing
a tendency toward placing the abso-
lutte control of all American education
from the kindergarten to the univers-

tion Of the American public mind.
Already the ill-effects Of these So
called .spsychologicaln experiments
upon children are manifest in many
forms, not only among children still
confined to the pedagogy laboratories
known as schools, but also in society
at large, upon which IS constantly
pressing horde of the victims OF early
experiments incapacitated for the du-
ties belonging to men and women
of use to the world and swelling the
ranks of the criminal classes and hui
man derelicts. But pedemagogy, re-
lying for safety upon the blind fanat-
icIsn1 that it has inspired. instead of
recognizing and acknowledging its
mistakes, brings its fertility III eNpe-
dIency into more strenuous play and
|a1lies itself with certain theorists who
up TO this time have had to be CON
tent with four-legged animals as sub
jeet for viyisection. and turns over the
children Of the public schools to the
probe, the knife and the sealpel with
the assurance that bit Of scraping

~ URING the afternoon a neigh
Dor had come in and told
Mrs Bowser about a lecture
on the Holy Land that was to
be given at the church that evening,
and therefore an extra good dinner
had been planned with the cook for
Mr. Bowser, and he was coaxed to go.
He came home good natured, and he
praised the dinner and all seemed to
be going well when he put stumbling
block in the way by saying:
"A rather interesting incident occur
red at the Office this afternoon. You

He is the most celebrated student
Of natural history in the world. Show

Mr. Bowser Departs.
Mrs. Rowser wouldn't go TO the lee
ture without him, and so it was settled
that she should stay home. Just as
dusk was coming down Mr.. Bowser
took his departure for the country
and the land of bulIfrogs. He didn't
have to wait long after taking his car
to get some information to assist him
in his investigation. A farmer direct
ed him to big pond where clay had
been dug out for d brickyard and then
naturally asked:
Coin to catch a mess of frogs to
eat?"
"No. am going to study the frog"
.There haln't no use in that. Any
book about animals and things will tell
YOU all about him. l can do it myself
for that matter Do you want to know
why his hind legs are the lOngestT
mo. sir If you know all about the
bullfrog tell me why he bellows.
What's his game? Is he talking to
other frogs? Does he imagine he's
singing a song? Is it a note of def
ancei"
~By thunder, bat you've got mer ex-
claimed the farmer after thinking it
over. I've been liyin' with bullfrogs
for the last forty years, but it has
never occurred to me'to ask why they
bellered. And you are goin' to find
out, are your"
Mr.. B. Investigates
'.If it's a possible thing"
"Waal, by George, hope you can.
II we can find out why they beiler

about q million of 'em in that pond l
spoke of. and you won't have any
trouble 10 find 'em. You'll hear 'em
a-whoopin' as soon as you get off the
car
The man spoke truly. When the car
reached the terminus and Mr. Bowser
had taken seat on log after he got
off the car he heard the hoarse voices of
a bullfrog concert down the highway
and realized that he had struck it rich.
The way to investigate is to investi
gate. Five minutes after reaching the
pond Mr.. Bowser was giving all his
mind to solving the problem.
He first estimated the number of
frogs before him at an even million.
Secondly, he made out about 500
different intonations.
Thirdly. defiance. sorrow, pathoS. in
difference and exuitation seemed to be
about equally mixed Where one old
frog was sending lullaby out to the
sleeping world another was trying to
wake up everybody within two miles.
It looked as If the problem was being
tied up in bard knots when two men
suddenly appeared before Mr.. Bowser,
and one of them called out:
well, old cove, have you come back
for the rest of the tools:'
.'Sir, are you speaking to me?' ask
ed Mr.. Bowser as he rose up.
He Wakes Up.

tessor. Mrs. Bowser, you were brought
up in the country"
$50 were you, Mr.. Bowser The first
time ever saw you you We're cutting
up pumpkins to feed a one horned
cow
He flushed un and his eyes snapped
and for a momeht he appeared about to
make an angry answer. Then he hung
on to himself and forced a smile and
said:
We'll, let it go that we were both
brought up in the country. 1t is all the
more TO the point in this case. As
country bred folks we know what the
buiifrog is- He is found in ponds and
marshes His principal occupation is

TO think Mrs. Bowser, why he bel

'.Becau use he was made to. the same
as rooster was made to crow she
answered.
But why was he made to-why?
The rooster was made to crow that he
might wake the farmers hired man up

what particular reason should the bull

Rev. Mr.. Gleason is to deliver lecture

evening and | want you to go with me.
We haven't been out an evening for
two months''
Il am sorry to disappoint you. Mrs.
Bowser. but the Rev Mr. Gleason and
his Holy Land must wait. We have
before US question that has bothered
naturalists for the last 1000 years
The bullfrog bellows, but why does he

but why should we care about his
bellowings? 1t is going to be a very
interesting lecture and want to hear
1t. The bullfrogs can be attended to

Exactly like a woman said Mr..
Bowser, with a superior smile. No
doubt the wife of Sir Isaac Newton
wanted to so to a circus the afternoon
he discovered gravitation. aud If he
had gone With her the world would
have had to wait another thousand
years. You can run right along and
hear all about the Holy Land. but T

A Small Blaze.

About l o'clock yesterday
afternoon the engines in the To-
cal railroad yards began blow
ing and it was evident there
was something on fire, as this is
their usual alarm to call out the
shop firemen. Everyone in town
started for the shops and some
came from the fair grounds,
but their assistance was not
needed as the blaze was under
control before many had reached
the scene of action. The boiler
shop roof caught fire from a
passing engine, and about the
only damage done was to the
shingles which were knocked
off by the pressure of the water
the roof is very old at best
and this may be an incentive
for the company to put on a
new one. We are glad the fire
was extinguished so quickly for
there are other buildings close
to which it might have been
communicated.
