EUSTIS WANTS SIMPLICITY
Committee Chairman Says There
Will Be No OstentatlOn at
Inauguration.

Washington. December 26.-Major-
General Leonard Wood. chief Of staff
of the army. who has just oeen named
as chief marshal OF the approaching
inaugural parade. has begun to outline
his plans for military. naval and
civic demonstration.
The selection of General Wood to
undertake this task is in line with
presidents which. for the last several
administrations. have led to selection
OF the senior army officer on the active
list in Washington regardless OF po-
iitical afiliation. Thus it happened
that the military features Of Presi-
dent Taft's inauguration were In
charge Of Major-Creneral J. Franklin
Bell. while the late Leutenant-Gen-
eral Henry & Corbin performed a
similar function at the last inausur-
alton OF Theodore Roosevelt.
General Woods purpose Is to make

WHAT ABOUT TIE RURAL
SCHOOL?

Along with this demand for rural
centers comes the admitted need for a
new kind of rural school. The rural
school of today is apt to be in the main
bad copy of poor city school. 1t is
not related to the country life. u pro-
ceeds as If on the theory that farmers
sons should all become clerks or pro-
fessional men engaged in urban en-
ployment, and all country girls STEM
ographers, shop girls, factory employees
or the wives of such city dwellers.
This bias Of the rural school against
rural life is the one great scholastic
blunder of this nation. 1t has acted as
a powerful wind blowing the self same
way with the baneful tide of allure
ment and economic pressure which has
been for so many fateful years, and
still is, emptying the farms into the
cities.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1912-10-10

schools the very things their parents
are laboring with on the farm, the
habit OF thinking about things rather
than about words will give vigor TO
every phase Of thought. Ii desired
to produce generation OF poets, ar
lists, mathematicians and statesmen, |
would begin by giving to the minds of
the young the real grain of scientific
truth to grind, trusting to the Unsuitable
hunger Of the mind which grows 10y
every morsel of truth consumed by it.
once saw in one OF these new rural
schools boy sitting with "a rack of
agricultural bulletins at his elbow,
writing on raspberry culture. asked
him why he chose that topic for his
essay. "l'm growing raspberries for
the market" said he. Language for
this boy was a medium for expressing
thought, rather than for getting marks.
He was interested in the essay, but
more in neIS years crates Of berries.
Out of such conditions will come pupils
who will make the language glow with
meaning, as do Caesars Commentaries
and Grants Memoirs and for the
identical reason that gives Immortality
to these works as literature. In each
case the writer will have something to
say.

EDUCATIONAL.
(BY c. W. MEISNEST.)
Continued from Last Week.

Moreover, the church cannot do the
whole work. Many people do not be-
long to any church. Those who do
belong are divided among many de-
nominations, which if not warning on
each other are not cooperating, and
are in no position to cooperate. The
church cannot call in aid the powers
of taxation, nor the assistance of the
state. 1t may be social center for the
community, but it can never be, and
should not be the social center.
The neighborhood club and the CO.
operative organization are doing good
work in places. Woman's clubs have
worked great changes in some rural
neighborhoods. | know of someplaces
where clubs of farmers wives have
kept up for many years successful
meetings of character very similar to
the gatherings of people interested in
literature, current events and music in
cities. Some of these communities are
admirably served by these clubs But
on the whole feel that there is less of
this social activity than there was
thirty years ago. The clubs are better
perhaps, than were the old spelling
schools and "literaries," but they are
vastly fewer. The need for social cen
ters everywhere, as a potent force in
American life, as universal as the
practice of agriculture, has no hope in
these. The communities that most
need awakening are incapable of find
ing utility :" amusement in these
rather sophisticated and "highbrow-
ish" affairs. Something more element
al and elementary, more useful and
more profitable materially must APP
pear.

"RURAIIZE TIL e RURALSCHOOL"
Our eyes are becoming opened to the
destruction which such schools work
on our national life. The word has
gone forth that the rural school must
be ruralized. 1t must be correlated
with rural life. 1t must open the eyes
of the country children to the beauties
of that field of nature in which the
farmer acts with and is reacted upon
by scientific truth. Our arithmetic
must deal with the quantities of soil
constituents, farm Inventories, eggs,
poultry, cowtesting, and generally
with the computation of problems re-
lated to scientific agriculture. Every
problem in mathematics must be a
problem 10 scientific rural life. Our
nature studies must deal no more with
the koodoo, the mongoos, the toucan
and the ardvark, but rather with the
COW, the hen, the hog, the horse, and
the sheep. Our physiologies must
abandon the useless anatomies and ter
minologies OF yesterday, and become
comparative. The physiology of the
domestic animals must be considered
with that Of the human being to the
end that we shall know our animals
while knowing ourselves, and each the
hot fn L. IN, . hn La,
hygiene must take in the nutrition of
these friends OF the barnyard and
pasture.
Thus the rural school shall become n
school of animal husbandry Geography
must so far include the study of soils
that the child may know Of the plant
food in his fathers farm, whether he
knows the capital Of his state or not.
Reading and spelling must be related
to the life of the farm. History must
tell OF the movements Of agriculture,
rather than Of battles or political con-
tests. Pupils will do their language
work in reporting the results of exper-
iments in farming, rather than in the
diagramming OF sentences or the pars-
ing OF words. And where such work
in systematic grammar Is dcne, the
sentences chosen will be such as to
possess background In the real life OF
the pupils, rather than in mythology
or the classics, The schools will be
completely ruralized.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The regular session was held Monday
evening. Anderson was absent.
A resolution was adopted submitting
to the State Tax Commission the ques-
tion of whether or not the city had
lawfully assessed the car-ferry slips
and wharves. Railroad property, ex-
cepting few designated kinds is not
assessable locally. The question is
whether car-ferry docks are "merchan-
disc docks" II they are the local as
sessment is proper.
A resolution by Schellin that re-
port be made of the present financial
relations of the city with the water de-
partment was carried. The latter owes
lot of money for funds borrowed TO
pay for the plant. The mayor said:
"The water department borrowed
$1,000 from the general fund and is
ready to pay it back"
The sealers outfit was ordered. 1t
costs $685. Henry Mulholland was APP

Plumb sprung new one. BE sug-
gests that the council think over the
plan OF chapel at the cemetery en-
trance where cortege might stop
when deep snow makes it difficult to
get to the grave.
The resolution informing the police
that 10 O'Clock P. M. ought to be the
limit for electric pianos was laid over.
Many people in the city became excit-
ed over this $40 o'clock closing ordin-
ance." The liquor dealers are going
to adopt rule voluntarily squelching
the noise at midnight.
The sanitary committee recommended
that the anti-tuberculosis nurse be not
employed until necessary funds had
been raised by the city. The matter
was discussed. Frazier had an eloquent
written argument which he read while
the council politely listened. There
was an undercurrent of opposition to
mourning the expense, estimated at
$500, but Plumbs motion to raise the
money carried unanimously.
Several of Walter Bahr's sewer jobs
were accepted.

plans to be economical. Action was
