''PARK LIFE"
An Experiment By An Iowa School Principal His Boys Want. Q 12-Month School Year-A Suburban School for City Boys.
Robert B. Young. Jr.,

(BenJanain John Horchem- principal of school in Dubuque, Ia., as the result of running a vacation school camp for five seasons along novel lines is an advocate of a twelve months school year What is more other beliefs are that our city schools should be in the suburbs, that desk work should not be featured so nations are unnecessary and unwise. The following article is by one of the first members of<Park Life in 1soSo Exclusive Service The Survey Press
 During Prof B. J. Horchem's exper- fence as a teacher in country and city and as principal of a public school, he was fond Of outdoor work for his pupils As county superintendent, he was jealous to see that Arbor Day 1907 he purchased a, neglected form of a few acres near Dubuque, and in 1908 eight or nine of his boys went out to it two or three times a week to work in the garden a few hours. After they had finished their labors, they sat in their tent and debated, sang and learned of things that would be use full to them in after life. Their arith- metic meant something practical to them now commercial problems came I'D: their board measure became useful to them in the shop; their physics and chemistry had a part in their every day life. Agricultural prob 1erns sharpened their wits Every boy at the end of that summer was healthier wiser and happier
 The good results of that first year led to a continuance of the work 4 few acres on the top of majestic bluff overlooking the Mississippi river was secured. Here forty or fifty boys attracted by the glowing stories of the older members, pitched their tent and stayed all through the summer weeks except Sundays. They experi- enced a summer Of happiness and joy
 of optimism and hope. They learned more than ever. Professor Horchem induced lecturers to come from var ious progressive educational ceaters.
 They opened to the boys realms which
 heretofore had been nySt tories to them
 The boys were told of the stars above

cultural experts explained the good points of fine cattle and gave lessons in cultivating the great staple crops. The members of the group learned to govern them mse1ves-the lecturers and professors marveled that there was such good order without discipline. The school was conducted for all, rich or poor, and it taught faith in the integrity of fellow associates.
 Then came educational trips. The boys were taken on short excursions to points of interest in the country surrounding Dubuque On these jauntS the boys camped out

 Park life" anticipated nature-study with large domestic animals. It teaches the youth to learn to do by doing, to know by seeing. It gives then knowledge. It teaches the boys to appreciate a home with park-life grounds for ornamentation and econ omic purposes. Park Life'' instills

Rapid transpor- tation will enable them and others to do this By this means the slums, the fostering sores of our cities. will be done away with. Every third genera tionn should return to the land, or it will degenerate. With Park Life'' laborers living near the soil, and combining city and country life, this danger will be eliminated Park Life is as yet only in a transitional period But in time these things must come about; and Park Life'' will be supported by the state. just as the public schools are, in order to maintain the integrity and wholesome ness of that state.
 This year Park Life'' has secured a large tract of 400 acres near the city of Dubuque along the Missis- sippi as a magnificent location for continuing the work
 Park Life looks to 8 happier, more wholesome education of the physical. the intellectual. and the mor ment of the social structure of Ameri- ca; and it takes into account the rap i'd change Of conditions certain to come in the mode of life Of the popu- Iation of this country-something that our time-worn education system of the present cannot do. Park Life will prepare the pupils to enjoy more. and to be Of greater service to their fellows under the new social condi- tions to which, a people, we are ropidIy tending.

A COMIC EXPERT

The police expert who was called into Bridgeport belongs in opera bouffe. His recommendation for a hundred extra policemen for Bridge port is comic. He proposes one po- Iiceman to every 500 population, a bur den that no small city in the United States carries and that none ever will carry.
 What can Bridgeport do with a hun dred policemen more? The Bridgeport crime record is the lowest in the state How can a hundred more policemen improve that record? Are policemen also an aid to the fire department, and is part of their function to see incipent fires? But Bridgeport has the lowest per capita fire loss of any New England city.
 The Bridgeport department is a. high grade, honest, efficient body of men. The Bridgeport police depart ment has no alliance with crime, no Rosentha1 murders, and no $2OO0O po- lice captains. The head of the depart ment has been it's head for a score of years. No scandal blemishes his rep utation. The officers of the depart ment are men of whose honesty there can be no doubt No Bridgeport po- liceman has ever been found guilty of a serious offense
 Bridgeport needs no assistance from police experts trained in New York.

towns The parade will put an end to the assertion by the stand patters that there is only a handful of Bull Moosers in the town and that they would all come back to the fold be- fore election. It puts a different com plexion on the politics of the town and it is dawning upon the minds of the politicians that the Bull Moosers will be the real antagonists of the Dem mocrats at the coming election and that the old line Republicans will have to be satisfied with third place in the race if they are not distanced.

Many of the charming dresses are trimmed solely with buttons covered to ma tch.
 Pumps are no longer the fashion when walking. but high shoes, with broad, rather low heels
 Shaggy felt hats in beige and nat uraI tones are immensely stylish worn with tailored suits.
 Many of the new tailored suits have braiding in colors and broad silk ga lon as trimming
 At present fashion demands that al- most every gown shall have it's partic- -ular pair of shoes.
 In the newest coiffure the hair is dressed in coronet style This is very charming and Ricturesqus.

DYNAMITE RIVALS
BID FOR THE JOB
Of Blowing Up a Chicago
Iron Works, Ortie Nc
Manigal Stated.
(NationaI News Association

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Nov. 22-Or-
tie McManigal, the king of the dyna-
miters, testified today that Herbert
S. Hockins underbid some Chicago
dynamiters, led by Ed Clancy, and
got the job of blowing up the Iriquois
steel works for $500 for local No. l.,
Chicago Ironworkers.
J. B. Mcnamara and l did the job
the night of February "a, 1911. J. B..
Wanted to blow UP the Waterman, but
/ objected. Local No. / had sent out
word that it wanted the job done and
Clancy said he would have it done
for $500. Hockins went up to see the
local and offered to make a four ex-
plosion job of it for $500"
McManigal testified that he and J..
B. Mcnamara pulled off the explosion
at the Iriquois steel works with dyna-
mite. which they took to Chicago on
the fast night train from Indianapolis.
1t was on this occasion that the dy-
Mantle became frozen at McManigaps
home in Chicago and they put it on the
radiator to thaw out. Later McMani-
gal discovered his two children, a lit
tie boy and a little girl, playing catch
with a couple of sticks of the dyna-
mite. McManigal said he then told
Mcnamara to take the entire outfit of
dynamite and clocks over to his hotel
and make the Internal machines there.
McManigal also testified that after the
Times explosion in Los Angeles they
decided to avoid publicity by buying
explosives. and subsequently stole
their supplies. Over 1900 pounds Of
explosives was procured by theft and
used in subsequent explosions. At one
time. McManigal said. they had fully
1900 pounds in the vault on the fifth
floor Of the Central Life building IN
the heart of Indianapolis.
Joseph Schwartz, of Chicago, was
arrested this afternoon charged with
interfering with the administration OF
justice. Schwartz was seen by govern
ment agents talking to 25 or 80 govern
ment witnesses and they declared he
was trying to persuade them not to
testify by telling them the government
could not compel them to do so.

POLITICAL MERGER
is HIS SUGGESTION
Kennepohl Believes Republi'
cans and Progressives
Should Join Hands.

President Kennepohl of the board
of works believes that the Republican
and progressive parties should unite.
These two parties are so closely
united in principal and purpose that
they should be united or the Demo
cratic party will step in and take
charge of city affairs, as it has in ma
tional affairs, when the election of mu-
nicipal officers take place next fair
said the president of the board of
works, speaking of the election of city
officers next year
In discussing the probable candi-
dates for mayor, Mr.. Kennepohl said
he expected Dr. Zimmerman would
probably be the lucky candidate next
year, but would advise him to run on
an independent ticket. Zimmerman
can be elected easily if he runs indie
pendently," said Kennepohl.

The Bloodhound.

The bloodhound is sometimes called
the sleuthhound. and 1t Is the largest
variety which hunts the scent. The
male weighs from s. to 100 pounds
and the female from 95 to 10 pounds.
They vary In height from twenty-thres
to twenty-seven inches measured at
the shoulder The color Of these dogs
is black and tan. brown or liver col

white or badger colored hairs It Ii
popular impression that the blood
hound Is ferocious and savage. He
probably owes this reputation to his
having been used TO hunt men. A pure
bloodhound when he has caught the
man does not worry him to death, but
runs up to him to be fondled or bays
at him-that is. stands and barks-
