SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORN
Suggested Plans for Movable Agri.
cultural Schools.
PRESIDENT OF HARVARD RESIGNS
Splendid Career of Noted Educator
About to End-Activities of
various InstitutiOns-Edu-
cational Notes.

The Department of Agriculture in a re-
port Just issued, discusses the feasibility
of. and presents a plan for, promoting
movable schools Of agriculture in the coun-
try. II is shown that those in charge OF
agricultural education in the United states
are rapidly coming to realize that they are
under as great obligation to supply the
instruction in agriculture to the masses of
agriculture people out on the farms as to
the favored few who are fortunate enough
to be listed in colleges and schools. This
is a complete change OF view from that
which formerly prevailed.
The change is chiefly due, no doubt, to
the fact that a large amount Of valuable
scientific Information respecting agricul-
ture has been collected In recent years,
and to the important discovery that II Is
possible to teach the practical application
OF agricultural science to men and women
who have never had more than quite Inn
tied opportunities for scientific study.
The need for such instruction has long
been felt by rural people, and ~agricul-
tural colleges and schools. departments,
boards and local societies of agriculture.
fair associations, farm clubs, oranges, in
%stitutes and agricultural journals are among
the forms of activity that efforts to sup
ply the need for agricultural information
have brought into existence.
Within the last few years, however, edu-
Gators have come to realize that more sys-
tematlc and better directed efforts arc
needed for securing the dissemination OF
agricultural Information among farming
people than have yet been in use.
The plan proposed for movable schools
Of agriculture consists in organizing the
farmers Of a community over 10 years of
age, who have had good common school
training. and some practical experience In
the direction of the subjects taught, into
classes for instruction in agriculture. no
class to consist of less than eight. nor In
any case TO exceed fifteen persons. Be
fore a school is opened in a locality, writ
ten pledges are required of the members
Of the class that they will pay the tuition
fee charged, attend all the lectures. and
perform all the practice exercises that the
school prescribes. Also a guaranty IRON
the locality that there shall be provided
free of cost to those sending out the school
a suitable hall, for holding meetings WITT
heat, light, water. %janitor service. labora'
tory room with desks and material fol-
illustration.
The schools are organized for the study
Of scientific and economic methods 10,
the growing OF crops, the breeding anc
care of animals. and the general I'M
provement of agriculture. Each course
Is TO be confined to a single subject, al

IN certain employment agency ten
cooks out of a job waited one after
noon last week for a situation TO turn
up. Presently a well gowned woman
who was short of servants applied at
the desk for the desired help. The
manager referred her TO the ten cooks.
The woman interviewed each of them
in turn with unsatisfactory results.
Not one of them" she explained to
the manager Of the agency, likes TO
eat the things that we like"
But what difference does that
make?" asked the manager. They are
no doubt good girls for all that"
yet they wouldn't suit me-" the wo-
man replied decisively. My family
have very pronounced tastes in cook
cry, and my experience has taught me
that only a cook who likes the same
dishes that we like can prepare them
satisfactorily. That is a matter Of SIM
pie common sense. 1t stands to reason
that any dish a cook likes will turn
out better than one she doesn't like;
consequently i will do the work my
self till find a girl whose tastes agree
with ours."-Philadelphia Ledger.

The Most Beautiful Elaa.

In village school in the Acadian
region OF Nova Scotia the young lady
teacher, who was from a portion of
Canada more remote from the United
States than the section she was In.
was on one occasion preparing for a
little celebration of empire day. Call
ing one of the boys. she gave him a
coin and said to him:
Take this, please. and go out and
get US the prettiest flag you can find"
She had no idea, Of course, of his
procuring anything else than a British
Tag, and her establishment was great,
therefore, when the boy came back
with a small edition Of the stars and
stripes.
What have you therey' the teacher
asked sharply. Did you suppose
sent you for anything else than the
flag Of your country
Why" answered the boy, you told
me to get the prettiest flag could find.
and there was nothing else so pretty as
this,"
The boys judgment was unpreju-
diced. at any rate. for he was Cana
dian.

San1oas Talking Wan.

Samoa's talking man, or tolafaH, Is
a character. All the affairs of state
of the village in which he holds office
are carried upon his shoulders. In Or
binary he is the chief adviser, per-
suader, convincer and restrainer of the
leading chiefs. Having the gift of elo-
quence, he makes the most Of it. He
enjoys immunity from many things.
He cannot be spoken of in ordinary
terms. If it should be necessary to
speak Of his eyes or his mouth or his
limbs, special honorable words must
be used, words which attach to him
alone and have never been applied to
the personal parts Of ordinary men.
AS he stands to deliver his soft, per-
suasive. mellifuous oratory, with staff
of office in his hand, any one can see
that he is man of great importance,
or If this is not apparent from his at
titude it may be gathered from the at
tention paid to bis utterances by gray
haired chiefs and by youth and maid
ems. If the talking man Is a clever
fellow and understands his business.
he is the chief ruling power in his
tribe, although the nominal headship
is always vested in a chief or patri-
archal figurehead.

A Rich Woman's Closet.

THE SUN A PUZZLE.
We See Only the Outer Shells of the
Great Blazing Orb.


The great ball Of fire which we call
the sun is not really the sun. No one
has ever seen the sun. A series of
concentric shells envelops a nucleus of
which we know absolutely nothing ex-
cept that it must be almost infinitely
hotter than the fiercest furnace and
that 1t must amount to more than nine
tenths Of the solar mass.
That nucleus Is the real sun, forever
enveloping shells is about 5000 miles
thick and is called the chromosphere.
1t is a gaseous fluid, tinted with the
scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furi-
ously active that 1t spurts up great
tongues of glowing gas prominences)
to the height Of thousands of miles.
Time was when this agitated sea Of
crimson fire could be seen to advantage
only during an eclipse. Now special in
struments are used which enable as
tronomers to study 1t in the full glare
Of the sun.
Beyond the chromosphere, far beyond
the prominences even. lies the nebulous
pallid corona visible only during the
vanishing moments Of a total eclipse,
aggregating not more than seven days
In century.
No one has ever satisfactorily ex-
planned how the highly attenuated
matter composing both the promi-
nences and the corona is supported
without falling back into the sun I'M
der the pull Of solar gravitation. Now
that Arrh hoa o0cnofoal1v annliaH
the effects Of light pressure a solution
is presented.
How difficult it is to account for
such delicate streamers as the promi
nences on the sun is better compre,
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful Is the grip o.
solar gravitation.
II the sun were a habitable globe
and you could transport yourself to it,
surface, you would find yourself pulled
down so forcibly by gravitation tina;
you would weigh two tons. assuming
that you are an ordinary human being
Your clothing alone would weigh
more than hundred pounds. Baseball
could be played in a solar drawing
room. for there would be some diff
Guilty In throwing a ball more than
thirty feet.
Tennis would be degraded to a form
of outdoor pingpong.
From these considerations 1t is plain
that gravitation on the sun would tend
to prevent the formation of any lam
bent streamers and to pull down to its
surface masses of any size.-Harper'i
Magazine.

How Wvckoff Was Revealed,

The late Professor Walter A. Wyck-
off Of Princeton had a passion for
knowledge at first hand and will be
best remembered as the college pro-
fessor who studied labor conditions by
becoming himself a laborer. Starting
in 1891 In Connecticut with no money
and with a suit Of overalls. he worked
his way through nearly every state in
the Union after the fashion of the
floating laborers of this country, so
many Of whom ultimately become
tramps. Wherever there was a posi-
bility of work he applied for it. wheth-
er it were digging bitches. wrecking
houses or factory work. For awhile
his incognito usually worked we'll, but
as soon as his fellow laborers saw him
at table they at once began to suspect
him. His manner of eating. his way
of holding knife and fork, at once set
them specializing. Once he was seen
drinking tea at a fellow laborer's
house in Chicago. He lifted the saucer
from the table, held it in his hand and
forgot himself so far as to drink with
out noise. 81 knowed then" his host
afterward said. that he was swell
masquerading." -Harper's Weekly.

Nature and the BarnacIe.

In the barnacle we have a unique
and wonderful case of a creature that
can afford as age comes on to dispense
with the eyesight that was so useful
In youth. For the young and old
barnacle are as different one from the
other as fishes from seaweed. In the
heyday of life the barnacle swims
about the sea, seeking its food with the
aid of its eyes and generally leading a
roaming existence. Later in life, how
ever. 1t grows tired of this aimless
wandering and settles down to worry
ships captains by attaching itself to
the keel Of their craft and defying the
much advertised powers of various pre-
ventive paints. Once. then, the barna-
Gle has become a fixture, whether on
ships or sharks, its eyesight is OF no
more use. 1t cannot seek Its food, and
it cannot shun Its foes, for 1t never
more will move. Therefore its eyes
become superiuous and, according to
natures invariable rule in such cases,
disappear.

Lived to Eioht Another DAY.

Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at Molwitz. his first battle. Had
he not been a king 1t is safe to say
that he would have been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat Of the
carnage he got an idea that the army
under his command was being over
whelmed, SO he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlong among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild flight Late at
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill. awaiting. as he thought, cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discov-
cred that the army he deserted had
won the battle. AS Frederick was a
prince. everybody tried to forget the
incident just as quickly as possible.
and after that. when the king went to
war, he was just as brave as any 9th
