THE NEWER EDUCATION.

The relation of the larger UNIVERSE
ties Of the United States to the practi-
cal problems of existence is being en-
phasized In an astonishing degree
nowadays. says Chicago Tribune. II
the notion of clustered halls where
pale-faced students pored over musty
tones once held sway, that idea has
entirely disappeared. The dominant
thought appears to be. how can the
training of the schools be made most
useful in lettering the conditions OF
human life. The University of Wiscon-
sin, for example, has been rendering
great service to the people of our
neighboring commonwealth through its
municipal reference bureau. Recog-
MIXING the activity in the field of city
administration, 1t has collected infor-
nation from all available sources, and
is now ready to send out material on
such subjects as sewage disposal, wa
ter supply and publication. street
sprinkling and cleaning. the smoke
nuisance, parks and Fairgrounds. care
of trees. the commission form of gov
eminent. public utilities and public
service rates. civic centers and art
commissions. The statement that one
mornings mail brought inquiries from
city officials in nine different common
wealths indicates the importance of
such university work.

took upon his shoulders the task of
securing statehood for Arizona and
New Mexico. He conferred with sew

URGED TO COME SOUTH
EXODUS TO BRITISH NORTHWEST
AND TO CITIES DEPLoRED.
Louisiana Congressman Sounds Ring
ing Note for Opportunity Afforded
In South's Sunny FieIds.

Washington-Wit GO South. young
men and immigrants as his key
note, Representative Ransdell, of Lou
isiana, addressed the house, as a sort
of advance agent for the Southland
general and Louisiana IN particular.
He based his remarks on the exodus
of many of "our best citizens into the
British possessions north Of the United
States, and the rapid congestion OF
our cities, caused by the growing un-
popularity of life on the farm, and by
the large influx of foreign immigrants,
many of whom settle in cities" AS a
remedy for all those problems, he sug-
gested to the house that the persons
concerned should be induced to come
to the South.
He showed that during the last five
years 312,614 citizens. carrying with
them material wealth In money and
property, valued at over $312,000,009,
ito say nothing of the immense poten-
tial value of each of these splendid
people" emigrated from the United
States into Canada.
1.-The Southern states would gladly
furnish homes to every one of our own
citizens" said he, who have gone to
Canada or contemplate such move,
and would welcome all the boys ana
girls who have left or expect to leave
the hardships of northern farms to
seek unfamiliar work in congested
cities.
Then he entered into a description
of what the South offered
"a few years ago" he remarked,
the Southerners were nearly all farm
ers, and the one crop was cotton"
Its scepter was seized some time ago
by King Corn and is now firmly held
by that monarch he added.
But corn and cotton are not the only
crops grown in the South. Mr. Rams.
dell gave the house to understand. He
told of great change that had come
over it and the present practice of di
versification Of crops.
The farms were not the only things
she South had to offer, Mr.. Ransdell
Informed the house. He suggested that
an inspection of mining, mercantile
and manufacturing statistics would
show that.
He challenged the statements that
the South was not healthy section.
The whites, he said, were just as
healthy as whites In any other portion
of the country. "The negro race is not
healthy" he admitted, "for reasons
which the scope of this speech pre-
vents me from discussing"

: Advice by an energetic. efficient
business man to man now going
back to work after a tired out spell:
Take things easier and get more
fresh air. No worry. Do the most i'm
portant thing first and then the next;
generally the things you don't do
aren't worth doing. What you think
you ought to do you want to do up to
the handle and do 1t quick and. then
forget 1t. Don't putter. The way TO
get along, in my Judgment, is to work
up to the limit for certain number
OIL hours and then stop. A man can get
further in the long run walking three
and half miles an hour for eight
hours out of each twenty-four than he
can going two miles an hour for six
teen hours in twenty-four. The first
way he can keep going and improve;
the last way he will deterioriate and
finally have to quit"

Washington.-The house committee
on rules Wednesday voted to report
the bill prohibiting dealing in cotton
futures. and the Weeks bill for protec-
ton of waterways of White mountains
and Appalachian mountains, known as
the Appalachian forest reserve bill.
The committee had decided positively
not to report the anti-options bill, but
reconsidered. 1t is believed the Appa-
lachian bill will pass both houses, and
while the cotton futures bill will pass
the house, it is not certain to get
through the senate.
