we sometimes boast as being superior,
what reason can we assign for the
arbitrary division of the educational
system, such as we have? Why do
we give four years to the primary in
struction, four years more to interme-
date work; why four years in the
high school, and why four years for
the university and college?
"The child is an animal it is true,
as G. Stanley Hall says in his writ
ings, but yet 1 think he made fund
amental mistake when he failed to
recognize that the child is more than
mere animal. The change that occurs
in the physical life of the child DUR
ing the adolecent age, must be met
by the instructor; but the teacher
should not overlook the mental meta
morphosis which also takes place.
why do boys and girls leave school
is asked sometimes. The reason is not
difficult to find. 1t is because the school
does not meet the life of the child. The
boy prefers to follow the pillow, where
he may be close to, and observe nat
ure than to be confined to the study
of those things which to him are I'M
interesting. Manual training is the one
best thing in the schools today to
keep the interest of the boy and girl.
Let education follow the activities of
the child's life"
Commercializing the Schools
eve have made the mistake of COM
mercializing our schools. We lay too
much stress on those studies which
relate to the problem of dollars and
cents, and forget that the humanizing
studies SUCH as literature and history,
are of equal, it not more Importance.
Fifty years hence the dollar will not
be the primal idea in the life Of the
nation. 1t will not be the man who
has studied things, but the one who
has studied people, who will be the man
that wins. We are on dangerous
ground. Today the nation is passing
from the industrial stage of develop
ment into a period of specialization;
that is, from henceforward it will be
not so much the commercial as the
social side of man which counts for
most

II. G.. HUNTS BROTHER
NOT THE FINANCIER
Report That the Roosevelt Expedition
Is Backed by S. J. Hunt Said
to Be Unfounded.

H. c.. Hunt. of the Cookery Under
taking company, has received a copy
of the Columbia City, Indiana, Com
mercial, containing an interview with
his brother L. S. j. Hunt, New York
millionaire, formerly owner of the Sc
attic p l., in which the gentleman
strongly denies that he was financing
ROosevelt's trip 60 Africa.
Mr.. Hunt, whose home is on Fifth
avenue, New York, last year spent
considerable time in company with
President Roosevelt, and it was due
to their intimacy that the statement
was made that Mr.. Hunt was furnish
ing the coin to pay for the hunting eX-
petition. Mr. Hunt, who is well known
in this state as former owner of the
big Seattle paper, owns extensive in
terests in Corea, and also in the Sou
dan. and this fact lent color to the
statement that he was interested il:
Roosevelt's African expedition. The in
terview was given by Mr.. Hunt to a
correspondent of the Columbia City
Commercial, and has been given muc n
prominence in the larger newspapers
of the country.

startled his listeners and advanced
thoughts which were, in substance,
that the educational system of today
is sadly inefficient in meeting the de-
mands of the times and that it falls
short of giving the child as well as
the high school and university student
the instruction most needed. Profess
sor Mathes advocated the readaption
of the present school policy to meet
the need of altered school conditions
brought about during the last quarter
of a century He also asserted that the
educational system of the day had not
kept abreast of the times, but was
wofully in the rear.
"The educational system of today
has no defined policy said professor
Mathes, with this as topic, he pointed
out that though the school heads have
some definite notions concerning the
up-bringing of children, they are very
few and what is known, soon gives
way to something that may only be
considered as a fad or fancy.
.'Yet with all this system OF which

due respect to the good things the

wish to live high 90 down to New Har-
mOny and those good people will feed
you on Plymouth Rock chickens, etc.

gia, was introduced and gave US a good
talk and told how the farmers of Serb

ford, was badly burned about the face,
hands and body Monday, and while his
injuries are not dangerous, he has suf-

to work for some time.
Mr.. Conner, from what we can learn,
had just stepped in front of the engine
when the blOwOff valve was blown from
its position, and the steam with great
force went into and through the fire
box, throwing the fire, ashes and steam
with such force into his face as to
knock him down. AS quickly as pos
sible he crawled back a few feet from
the fire and steam, and was there dis
covered. He was brought to this city
that afternoon, and is doing as well as
could be expected.
