Questions for Farmers to Solve.

Farming is rapidly becoming
more of a science. To insure
fair return upon the con stantly
approaching value of land the
amount of crop per acre must be
increased and the cost of hauling
it reduced. After the farmer has
solved the question of soil treat
ment and methods of cultivation
there still remains the movement
of the crop over the roads to the
nearest town or railroad station.
This expense the farmer must
meet, and 1t enters into his cost
of production just as much as
cultivation or harvesting. 1t is a
branch of expense on which a
greater saving can be made than
IN any other way. According to
government statistics the aver.
age cost to haul a ton of farm
produce one mile in this country
is twenty. five cents. A similar SER
vice on European highways costs
but eight cents. We have as
good teams as the farmers of
Europe. 1t is the condition of
the roads that makes the differ.
ence. AS the farmer uses the
roads more than any other class
of citizens he Is entitled to have
them IN proper condition to han.
die his business as cheaply and
promptly as possible, and should
see that he gets them by urging
supervisors to adopt more mod.
ern methods of road construction
and maintenance that will save
money to the township and TO
persons who most use the roads.

Startling Sign.

Though apparently it is intend

marians are really the persons
who would be shocked at sign

the people to watch this land
from trespassers, do hereby mott
fly all persons to keep off not ac'
cording to the law but before the
business end of a repeater or a

any one caught destroying this
will be liable to fine who don't
believe the above can come on you
having been notified can take
your choice.

Pupils Reinstated

The three High pupils, suspended
last week for their connection with ar
indecent note passed between them,
were reinstated by the Board of Edu-
cation, pending their good behavior.
Superintendent Gotham informs us
that our statement last week that all
but one of the Algebra class failed to
pass in recent examination, is UNI
true. Our informant was a member of
the second division of the class, and
more than half of them passed. Mr.
Gotham says that he does not hold
himself responsible for the morals of
children who are permitted by their
parents to run the streets nights,
where the foundation is laid for such
trouble as that of last week.
1t seems to be an impossibility to
impress upon the young mind that time
wasted in school is loss in dollars and
cents to the pupil, and when they
think they are deceiving the teacher,
they are only deceiving themselves.

"Come, let as live with our children
does not apply alone to children OF the
kindergarten age. The "child garden"
ideal must guide the grades, in order to
develop the child according to nature.
In the kindergarten the aim is free
expression, in drawing, painting, and
cutting. This should be carried on
into the grades. Sometimes this is
done. but there is usually too much
| initiative work.
We know child can be 'nagged'
into placing piece of parquetry IN the
exact center, pasting eaultlessly, ETC.,
| and as result seemingly perfect
thing is made, but how is the child
affected by this? He is tired, worried,
antagonistic, and depressed, and has
taken no independent step in self-activ-
| ity. On the other hand it is possible to
interest the child through play, his
ideas drawn out and the materials given
him with which to express his thought.
We ourselves know that our feeling
and freedom are crushed if we are
made constantly to initiate and 90
things. in another's way. The kinder
garten gives some hints for improved
physical exercises instead of the tire
some mechanical exercises, to count
which lack interest and significance, it
would be better to develop difficult
marches to music, requiring individual
responsibility, and obedience.
Grade teachers dealing with large
numbers found methods of discipline
which are quickest and the most effect
ual for the moment. These methods
do not build up self government. Dis
cipline should not be the opposing of
ones will upon another. In the kinder
garten the aim is to give the child
ideals which he will want to follow, to
build up desire to do the right thing.
Love rather than fear should govern
the child.
A great deal is made of excursions in
the kindergarten, then in the public
schools, they are often given up at the
close of the kindergarten year, just
when the child's senses have become
trained to see, hear, and observe, and
his thinking trained to interpret.
miss Bunker closed her paper with
a number of quotations from leading
educators, endorsing the kindergarten.)
