~schooIboys Must Be Good or Saw Woo,

Somebody's Must Be Good or Saw Wood.
Principal A. G. Fay Of the Bridge
water (Mass.) high school recently in
troduced a new course in the high
school for some of the boys who were
bubbling over with exuberance. He
got a saw and a sawhorse and a cord
of hard oak and put these into the
basement. When the boys began to
transgress the rules the principal sent
them downstairs to saw wood. The
boys thought it was q big joke at frs,
but the punishment kept on, and they
were kept saving wood until their
backs cracked. They broke a number
As saws and sawed the sawhorse
through. But new ones took their
places, and it was soon found that the
wood saving industry had become a
recognized department in the curric:
ulum in the Bridgewater high school.
The ours in wood saving did not
prove popular at all, and of late there
has been little wood sawed there.
There is still plenty of hard wood on
hand in case Of emergency. This plan
will make better citizens for the small
towns and tend to keep the country
schools in firewood, thus saving the
expense of hiring q mar to chop it. 1t
Is a good example for all towns to fol-
low.

THE CITY OF THE FUTURE.
One Described by Professor ZuebIin
During a Recent Lecture. :

In a recent lecture Professor Charles
Zueblin said regarding the city of the
futures" eff we consider the expert
nee of the chief cities of today we
can choose from their successful mu-
nicipal undertakings examples which
would enable us to construct a compo.
site city and while unsatisfactory as
an ultimate goal it might furnish a
convenient working ideal for the con-
temporary city.
THE streets of such a composite
city would be broad. we'll paved and
clean. free from telephone and tele-
graph poles and lined with trees.
There would be a comprehensive sew
erage system and a method of garbage
disposal. a public water supply would
include special provision for fire pro-
lection. fireboat and pipe line system,
for street and ewe flushing, for baths
and swimming pools.
THE public school buildings natural
~ form the chief architectural adorn-
ments of the city. They should be To-
Gated in the midst Of lawns and trees,
with provisions for Fairgrounds and
swimming pools. The curriculum
would include in addition to literary
and scientific branches kindergarten
and manual training, technical and art
instruction, trade instruction and CON-
mercial preparation.
ITO these Improvements would be
added a daily lunch. The community
would provide public libraries, Of
which Massachusetts cities are the
chief examples.
"These possibilities manifestly make
some demand upon the imagination,
which may prove bewildering to the
hard headed citizen. The spasmodic
advance of today is due largely to the
occasional triumph of the imaginative
official or public spirited citizen over
his shortsighted associates"

PLAN SUGGESTED TO MAKE AN
NUAL PICNIC DAY FEATURE
OF NEXT FAIR.
ARRANGEMENTS MAY BE
MADE TO ARRANGE FOR 1T
The Idea Will Be Taken Up For Con-
sideration at the Meeting of the Old
Settlers Association to Be Held Sat
urday-Fair Can Not Afford to Give
Free Use Of Grounds.

A plan has been suggested. as re-
suit of which there is chance that the
annual gathering of the old settlers
of the county, held each summer under
the name of the old settlers picnic
may be held at the fair grounds during
county fair week. The idea put for
ward is that instead of making the
gathering distinctive picnic that one
dav of the fair be designated as old
settlers day
The plan, if there are no Objectionable
details that would prevent it being
carried out. will probably be taken up
and considered at the meeting of the
Old Settlers Association, which is to
be held next Saturday.
Would Be Feature Day.
Such a day could easily be made one
of the feature days of the fair. and a
part of the afternoons program could
be easily arranged especially for the
cid settlers. in a manner very similar
to the way in which the annual picnic
programs are managed
Secretary W. Nj. Clark of the Mar
shall County Fair Association, said
this afternoon. that SO far as he knew
there was no serious object in the way
of making such an arrangement. ex-
cept that he believed that the fair
could not afford to give free admission
to the grounds to the old settlers for
that day. AS far as is known this
would be the only obstacle in the way
of such plan.
Picnic Burden to Few.
1t is a known fact to the few
who have kept the Old Settlers Asso-
citation alive, and who have managed
its annual picnics, that all the work
devolves upon a few of the willing
ones These few have given their time
each year when some of them could Ill
afford to do so, because they did not
want the annual gathering of the old
people of the county to fall thru.
1t is expected that a meeting of the
executive committee Of the fair asso-
citation will be hell on Saturday. when
it is possible that this question vii
come up.
