October, Brixht Blue Weather

O suns and skies and clouds OF
June,
And flowers OF June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather.
When loud the bumblebee makes
haste,
Belated, th-iftless, vagrart,
And golden-rod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fra
grcnt.
When gentians roll their fringes
tight,
To save them for the morning,
And chestnuts fall from satin burrs
Without sound OF warning;
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves OF woodbine twining /;
When all the lovely, wayside
things
Their white-winged seeds are
sowing,
And in the lields still green and
fair,
Late aftermaths are growing
When springs run low, and on the
brooks,
In idle, golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink noiseless in the
hush
OF woods, for winter waiting;
When comrades seek sweet coun-
TT yhatusn
try haunts,
BY two and three together,
And count like misers hour by
hour,
October's bright blue weather.
O suns and skies and flowers OF
June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best OF all the year
October's bright blue weather

PAPER BAG COOKERY

\ friendly reader OF the Post
recently attended the Pure Food
Exhibit in New York City. Be-
coming interested in the lectures
on and demonstrations of Paper
Bag Cookery" notes were taken,
which are herewith given to our
readers-Ed.
Before some OF us have had an
opportunity to- test the hreless
cooker a new and seemingly prac-
teal fad for saving the house
keeper has been offered to the
world.
Nicolas Soyer, the French chef
cC RrookFt Club, Dondon, -has
proved that the paper bag cook
cry is a means OF annih!lating
sciliets, pots and kettles, and
where is there a woman who had
not rather burn a few charred
paper bags after each meal than
wash kitchen utensils?
The French che: claims that
nearly everything except soup,
tea, coffee, cocoa, etc, can be
cooked in bags OF clean, crackly
white paper. The use OF the bag
is said to be more economical,
Newark post., 1911-10-04

more hygenie and more labor
saving than the oven and to do
away with all smell OF cooking as
we'll as make the dishes more saw
orv.
The inventor claims that the pa
per bag has advantages over the
open oven in the following re-
spects:
I. 1t retains all the Juices and
all the nourishment.
2. 1t prevents burning, drying
up and toughening.
3. Saves time and fuel, as it
takes one-half the time required
by the old methods.
4. 1t saves labor.
Marion Harland and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Virginia Terhune Van
de Water declare that the new sys-
tenn will become popular with
housewives all over the country.
Paper bag cookery is already very
popular in England.
The idea while quite modern,
takes us back to the time when
potatoes and similar foods were
cooked in bed of hot ashes
Paper bag cookery is simply a
backward progressive movement

Modern Educational Tendencies

ter are eternal.
The combination of varied for
ces is already strong in many To-
calities to promote the play in
stinct and make more morally safe
and truly cultural the leisure OF
children and youth. 1t is SO easy
to mistake hilarity for fun; aban-
donment for a good time. All that
the young people need in order to
set them right, is guide. 1t is an
opposition deserving slight atten-
ton which rails at the existing
forms o: amusement. without any
effort to substitute better ones.
Again, the rural districts lag be-
hind. The hours of recreation too
seldom come in for a share of the
country educaF0rs plans. Is there
any factor which is more respon-
sible for the lamented movement,
"cityward" than the indifference
with which this phase of education
is treated. All humanity Graves
social life. How much of an ele-
waiting nature might center around
the rural school!
The third OF these lated educa
tional tcndencies-that of moral
instruction, is as yet directed by
only few OF our leading educa-
tork. All the born teachers,
the highly expert instructors of
children in every land, have ever
timed at the making OF We true
man.. The present, however,
marks a more conscious period OF
the growth OF educational ideals
when the character aim is kept de-
fnitely in view. The cosmopoli-
tan population of present day
America makes the instruction ur-
gent. We no longer have a COM
mon creed to give us ideals o: right
living. The family traditions sep
arate, the social groupings differ
entlate. the vocations classify into
economic differences, the mother
tongues suggest varying folklore.
We turn to the one great unifying
influence in the common life Of
America-the tax supported pub
lie school. The child may gain
only minimum OF that training
in ideal which different people de-
sire for their children. but it is
one element OF moral training
(which all people may hold in COM
mon, as that foundation OF moral
rty on which must be built the
right ways of living together in a
modern State.
Many OF our educators now feel
that this is the most important OF
all new movements in education
the development OF system OF
character training. suited to sthe
special needs OF cosmopolitan
America. and so detached from re-
hgious forms and creeds that il
may be installed in the public
schools.
Such an innovation demands
teachers OF fine and noble person
ality. In order to enlarge thei,
experience and prepare themselves
for the work demanding such
breadth of ideas, a School O
Ethics" has been held for the las,
four years at Madison. Wisconsin
| AS an outgrowth of this summer
session the teachers OF Wisconsin
have united in a Moral instruction
League for and to one another ir
the work. They fix their attention
upon a right life as the suprems
aim OF culture
SO the movement for definite
systematic. moral teaching is al
! ready started. To serve well th
) great social need it must be KEEP
) free from all religious monopol,
: and held true to the universe

, life.-"The Power that calls a

r altar OF the true, the beautiful an
: the good"
Newark post., 1911-10-04
Written for the Post.)

1t has been said that ours is the
century of the child. We study
childhood scientifically and ration
ally: we realize that reform not
only begins in the home, but IN
the nursery or cradle we see that
to neglect childhood is to breed
disease, delinquency, poverty, in
efficiency. What has been done
to improve the conditions which
we deplore, is only a beginning.
There remains yet stupendous
task. Conscientious men and wo-'
men are lending themselves to the
work, and the result Of their in
vestigation and experience is
working radical changes in the
educational methods OF today.
Among the increasingly evident
educational tendencies which have
come into practice during the last
decade in the American schools
are three; the ideas of vocational
training. supervised recreation and
moral education.
The demand Tor vocational
training in the cities comes as the
natural result OF the change in in
dustrial life. The old handicraft
and hand-machine work, with its
personal association of apprentice
with master, has been replaced by
the pdNer driven machine and
specialized factory labor. The new
way OF industry offers little
chance for the experienced work.
man to guide, much less train, the
beginner. Hence the need has
arisen for manual dexterity in the
school. This new function thrust
upon the school will demand the
experience of years before the
correct method has been threshed
from the heap OF experiments. We
can only hope to solve the prob
lem by holding firmly on the one
hand to the spirit of democracy,
which DEGREES the right OF every
child to receive an eplcation that
shall show what he was meant to
become" and on the other hand,
clinging firmly to an effort to min
5sten to the practical needs OF
children who must get their work
ing papers" as early as the law
allows.
The responsibility OF such task
has been generally accepted by
the city school, and at least a be-
ginning made, but the rural dis
tricts have grasped the idea more
slowly. The adaptation OF the in
struction to the needs o: rural life
is seldom found in the easteren
country school. Delaware's new

come a part OF the country life
of America. The idea again mani.
tests itself in the action of the
Federation of Women's Clubs o
Delaware, when they announce
their intention to work for an affil
lated college for the girls where
domestic science, ETC., shall b,
taught.
The second tendency, that to
ward supervised recreation, Otter
called the playground movement
is an extension OF the kindergarten
ideals of later lie. Unborn in hu
