POSSIBLE

The Firemen.
CITY JAIL rs
OUT OF DATE

Repairs are to be made to the present
city Jail as soon as the police commits
sion and the city council can decide
what is to be done. Two plans are be-
ing considered and one Of the two will
be adopted at once.
One plan that mas been considered by
the police commission Is to vacate the
present police headquarters and erect
a new police building with a sanitary
and commodious jail in connection. The
other is to extend the present structure
to cover the ground in the rear of the
building and TO practically rebuild the
Jail
The present quarters of the police de-
partment are not large enough to ac-
commodate the force and the Jail is too
small for the number of prisoners who
are placed in 1t.
One of the first changes to be made
in the jail will be to add tier of cells
10 the present ones, doubling the cell
room in the jail.
Other changes Will be made in the
lookup, including sanitary plumbing
and a ventilating system.

The NEW EDUCAT TON
By
Ebert Hubbard

Do we know how much a bushel of
wheat weighs?
1 wonder what it is. TO be educated
Here was a man seemingly sore smit-
ten by the hand of fate, and yet whose
heart was filled with sympathy and
love. He had no quarrel either with the
world or destiny. He was childless that
he might love all children, and that his
heart might go out to every living
thing.
The trustees of the school did not
take much interest in methods, 1 found,
so they let the teacher have his way.
rare collection of birds eggs, fun
gi and forest leaves had been made, and
L was shown outline drawings of all
the leaves of the garden. This idea of
drawing a picture of the object led to
a much closer observation, the teacher
thought. And when l found, on ques-
tioning some of the children, that the
whole school took a semi weekly ram
Bile through the wooSes. and made close
studies of the wild birds, as we'll as in
sects, it came to me that this man. far
from any intellectual center" was
working out pedagogic system that
science could never improve upon.
Whether the little man realized this
or not, l cannot say, but L do not think
he guessed the greatness of his work
ana InelnOQS- IT was all 50 ple-1lS
did the thing he liked to do, and led the
children out and they followed because
they loved the man. and soon loved the
things that he loved.
Science seeks to simplify. This coun-
try school teacher doing his own little
work in his own little way. was a true
scientist. And he was also a great
teacher; he was holding human lives.

with beautiful and useful impressions.

er beds, he half apologized for them
and tried to change the subject
When, after a few moments he real
lied that my interest in his garden was
something deeper than mere curiosity,
he offered to go out with me and show
what had been done. So we walked
out, and behind us troOped the school
of just fifteen scholars.
You see," he said, ''in winter we have
sixty or more pupils, but the school is
smeSl now. l thought / would try the
plan of teaching out of door half the
time and to keep the girls and boys
busy 1 just let each scholar have a
flower bed. Some wanted to raise veg
etables, and, of course, let them plant
any seed they wished. The older chill
dren, girls or boys, help the younger
ones-it is lots of fun. When the win
ter is fine we are out here a good deal
of the time, just working and talking"
And that is the way this man taught
letting children do things, and talk. He
explained to me that he was not an
educated" man, and as L contradicted
him my eyes filled with tears.
Not educated? 1 wonder how many of
us who call ourselves educated have
disciplined mind, and can call by name
the forest birds in our vicinity?
Do we know the bird notes when we
hear them?
Gan we WITH peICll the lives OF
oak, elm, maple. chestnut, hazel, wal
nut or beech trees. so others familiar
with these trees can recognize them?
Do we know by nome or on sight the
insects that fill the summer nights with
melody? Do we know whether the katy

mouth. wings or feet? Do we know that
they feed upon, how long they live, and

The induction of the stereoptican into

methods of saving souls, marks many
people believe, an epoch in the history
of the church Less sentiment and
more practical work seems to be the
slogan.
Some churches have even gone so far

would have frowned upon as beneath
the dignity of the church, have been
