When near the schoolhouse on

her head and seized the hat.

Two girl friends ran to her assistance
Miss Minnie Hartdorf reached her

wildly several times. striking Miss
Hartsdorf in the face and binding
her for the time being.
Miss McPhail was so frightened
that she sank to the ground BY that
time the hatpins had worked loose and
the hawk flew away with the head

ANIMALS At SCHOOL
Not to Learn, But to Instruct
Young Chicago Pupils.
Bugs, Frogs, Puppies, Kittens, Mice
and Other Dumb Candidates Ad-
mitted to IncuIcate Taste for
Nature Study.

Chicago. Kittens, puppies, pigeons,
chickens, rabbits, squirrels, guinea
pigs, Japanese mice, white rats, tad
poles, salamanders, turtles, toads,
frogs, birds, bugs, ants and bees are
some of the new pupils which COM
mittee of principals and district SUI
perintendents appointed by Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young has decided to admit to
the Chicago public schools.
At the head of "Alice in Wonder
land"-or was 1t "Alice In the Looking
?"-Lewis Carol describes a
court scene In which the jury box is
just, such a strange little mehagerie
as this. The idea was one which ap-
pealed powerfully to the imaginations
of children.
Acting on the same principle, the
school authorities have decided to give
the youngsters in the kindergarten
grades this strange conglomeration OF
school companions. They wish to In
culcate in the children taste for ma
ture study and they believe this the
best way to do 1t.
With natures living handcraft be-
fore them, they feel, the youngsters
interest will be quickened. In time
they will come to know their grotesque
schoolmates as we'll as they do the
little boys and girls who study with
them, and from this will come not
only knowledge that will be useful.
but humanity toward all living crea-
lures which will make the lives of fu-
ture generations of frogs, tadpoles,
4 mice, turtles and even salamanders
better worth the living.
The list of the dumb candidates for
kindergarten work has just been made
out and will be submitted to mass
meeting Of the principals to be held
with Mrs Young. 1t Is expected that
all of them will be allowed to matri
culate.
In a higher grade of the kindergar

ate kinship with all living things"
Short excursions should be taken
often, especially in the spring and fall
The purposes of these excursions
should be to see trees, flowers, grass
and to have motor and sense expert
ence in connection with them, such as
feeding the roughness Of the bark, the
coolness of the grass, and so on; to
gather pods If possible, to play with
shadows and sunshine, to watch the
clouds, to feel the wind and play with
it. There should be many plays with
lights and colors, blowing soap bub-
bles, using reflected and refracted
light and transparencies."

he could work and If he were willing
to do so could save enough money to

Bejlovec went to the farm. The

and that of the soldier. He receives
each week what the soldier receives
each month. He has little time to lay
hold ON the dollar, but is content TO

OTHER PATHS OF LIFE.
"Old reporters are, nowadays, scarce.
After the managing editor has told the
old reporter that he has outlived his
days, he enters other paths which Prov
idence has provided. There are many
paths which he may follow-into the
business ONCE, into the publishers
chair of a country newspaper, into the
position of press agent-and then he
may retire in a few years; into the
literary field, where he may write of
half of the things of life that he has
seen, and into politics, where there is
a very broad path. Many newspaper
men were elected, in the last election,
to Office in congress. And then the re-
porter may enter into business itself.
For while writing day after day of the
workings of some line Of business, he
is studying and Analysing that bust
ness and thereby secures a wide knowi-
edge of it. He knows the facts. Some
day, if we are lucky, we will all be
able to quit being reporters"
