Blue-grass blade., 1908-03-15


In regard to the method of instruc-
ton but little need be said as the
progress Of the pupil would depend
atoge her upon the earnestness with
which he pursued his studies. To
read to inquire, to investigate, for a
day, or two days, and then leave them
for week or more, would do but lit
tie good. Close and continuous study
8'Ould accomplish wonderful results
because the mind would be kept in the
channel of thought and as the study
proceeds the mind develops, becomes
strengthened, and is prepared to as
simulate every new idea presented.
OF course the student would need
material assistance This could be fur
nished by the instructor, through cor
respOndence, and frequent examina-
ton. Let these examinations be held
once month. The examination pa
pers could ask number CT questions
which the pupil ought to answer, in
writing, without reference to the text
books. If the pupil finds that such
reference is necessary he should not
copy the answer from the book, ver-
batim, but study it closely and learn
it so that he knows henceforth what
the answer would be should a like
question be put to him in the future.
The form of the monthly examination
could be in such a shape as would be
of material assistance 1t would more
clearly define the particular points of
study and although it would touch the
subject in high places, the student
could mentally fill in by reading. As an
example let us take Geology The
first examination could be held in
that subject. The examination paper
could contain series of questions like
the following:
/ Definition Of termEits meaning
Name the two principal classi-
fications of strata as to origin and
formation
3 What is strata?
4 What is conformable strataY
5 What is uncomfortable

they are convinced that it points to

thousand dollars to start on in order
to prepare the ground with sufficient
quantity of literature, circulars, adj
vertising, prospectus and syllabus, the
necessary stationery for correspond
ence, enough pupils would soon appear
10 make the plan self-sustaining.
" hat is needed first is the eXtraneous,
independent help. If this could be
guaranteed the rest of the work would
be easy.
There should be no difficulty in
getting to work on such a plan as is
here suggested The Blade is not ad-
vocating this with view to personal
gain. Even should the Blade assume
the management of the enterprise and
the sum of one thousand dollars con-
tributed therefor come into it's hands,
and assuming, if need be, that it was
to be used by the Blade for it's own
benefit, the sum would not be enough
to justify such a course because the
punishment that would follow would
mean the death of the Blade and we
would rather see the Blaze live than
TO start any correspondence school.
Moreover, every contributor would be
entitled to full accounting of every
dollar spent and the list of contribu-
tors would appear in the columns of
the Blade so that its readers would
know from week to week just what
was being done.
The school question is now open for
discussion. We would be pleased to
hear from the Freethinkers all over
the country as to their opinions con-
corning the merits of the plan. If the
majority condemn it can be dropped
and no harm is done. If the majority
approve the Blade is willing to under
take the task of carrying it out, pro-
vded, the proper support is given to
it. If the majority believe that the
management should be given into
other hands, let them frankly so state
and the Blade will gladly render all
assistance it can. There is no profit
to be made out of such a venture
While the actual cost or expense may
be met it will require a great deal of
labor for which love will be the only
recompense. Someone will have to
prepare the plan and keep it up. We
have the facilities but we have not the
means.
Now friends 1t is mp to you.
What do you think of the correspond
ence school? Are you willing to help?

AS we proceed the examinations are
to be extended until the subject has
either been exhausted or thoroughly
covered as far as the student can GO
The other scientific subjects could be
treated in the same way and by the
end of the first year the mind of the
student has been given that solid
foundation necessary to further
prosecution of his inquiries The
second year would find further adj
vancement and by the end Of the third
year the student could be given
subject for treatment in which science
and religion are brought III sharp con-
trast and special papers prepared
which will test composition natural
ability and demonstrate the fitness and
capability of the student for platform
work. Those showing the highest
qualification should be placed at points
of the most stratagetic importance,
the others could be located as teachers
OF local organizations to aid in pre-
pairing others for the same kind of
work or, in any event, bringing about
a thorough and general education of
the growing boys and. girls of the
country.
With such an educative force at
work there can be no doubt OF the re-
suit. That result must be beneficial.
1t will make them better citizens and
more desirable neighbors than Chris
tianity has been able to produce. 1t
will eliminate strife and contention
because of religious differences and by
curtailing the field of its operations
the church would be seriously crippled
in It's propaganda. 1t would be futile
for priestcraft to attempt PROSECUTING
among such people and future genera
tons will bless the day that Free
thought undertook such work.
1t is not to be expected, however,
that the work can be carried on with
out financial aid. The students can
pay reasonable tuition fee and when
they have bought their textbooks, no
more can be expected of them. The
tuition fee, however, will hardly pay
all the necessary expense entailed by
such work and dependence must be
had upon outside sources. This
feature should not prove deterrent

Fighting Rulnous Iron Rust

A bitter and disguised wall has gone
up from the farmers of the United
States In regard to the miserable
quality Of the wire fence they are
obliged to use. So writes Rene Bache
in the Technical World Magazine.
They can hardly get along without 1t,
but 1t Il most unsatisfactory by reason
Of the rapidity with which it is de-
stroyed by rust. OF course, this
means to them much trouble and ex-
psnse, and they have been making 4
good deal Of row about the matter,
even appealing to the government Ton
help. In response to this agitation,
the secretary Of agriculture, Mr..
James Wilson, some time ago, ordered
a special investigation to be made, the
task being handed over to DR.. Aller-
ton 8. Cushman Since then the In
Quiry has been earnestly pushed, and
many things have been learned which
had not previously been suspected
especially in relation to the true cause
OF the rusting Of iron and steel, which
Is very different from what has always
been popularly supposed. The writer
goes on to describe the methods adopt
cd for improving the quality Of wire
and for guarding It against rust.
