information approximately full or
correct. Why? For the reason that
there is a suspicion that the informa-
ton sought may be used as a basis
for increased taxation. Hence, when
one comes to deal with census ia
bles, he must add at least thirty per
cent in order to get the more exact
figures.
A Case in Point.
Suppose one has planted five acres
in water melons. The hills are 10
by 10 feet. The number of hills in
measured acre-43,56O square
feet, i. e, 220 feet front by 1913 feet,
for example, deep-can be ascer-
tanned by the simple process of
counting. This done, make a record
of the same; then, as the melons are
harvested, weigh the largest melon
from eacn hill and record the same.
Note also the price obtained for each
of the large melons. If you shall
have done your duty by the crop, the
average yield will astonish you, and.
If you market the large ones in a.
buslness-like manner, you will find
that the average price for the lead
eH~S5ili not be less than Is cents
each. That will show up right we'll
DO not be content with the separate
record of the large melons. Enter
on record also the number of wagon
loads marketed per acre, the number
OF melons in each load, and, of
course the total amount realized
from sales. Note the number con-
sumed from each acre at home:
value them as though sold. Use
dates. Remember that there is a
TRIO OF Importance: name, a place
and cate. When the season is
closed, sum up the record and study
1t. You will know, beyond the shad-
oW Of doubt, whether or not there
is money in melons. Of course, you
will have planted seed from the best
variety of melons.

of his business should he fail care
fully to note the actual acreage Civ

and especially to know definitely, by
weight or measure, what each acre
yields each year. That would put

ascertain the measure of progress

SEES FUNDAMENTAL TRAINING
Rules of the Game Being Taught to the
Boys in Their Play in Ball Games and
superintendent Sees Great Value of
This Training Tor Culture.
lBy Mrs. Mary D. Bradford.

Wy MIS-. ehdIN DJdNlOld,J
It is probably not known to many
people, unless they have boys in the
public or parochial schools, that a
most interesting series of ball games
IS now IN progress in Kenosha. Fewer
lyet have thought of the significance
lof the work that Mr.. Fogwell is doing
for the boys of Kenosha in organizing
and managing these after school
games. Such play is an important fac
tor in education and is preparation
for citizenship, just as much as reg
ular school work is.
DR.. Harry S. Curtis, a national or
ganizer of play grounds for children,
says that the unregulated play of the
streets and vacant lots tends towards
lawlessness.
Anyone who will observe this play
will see that the children are con-
stantly disregarding the rules of the
games that they play because there is
no umpire or referee, and no one to in
sist that they shall obey them, and
when a boy practices disoheying the
rules Of the games he plays, he is get
ting the most fundamental training in
lawlessness that it is possible to give
to boy; for there is no other place
where law is quite so real to him as
in the law of the game of baseball or
basketball, or any other game that he
plays. When boy takes part in these
games in the playground, it becomes
absolutely necessary that he should
play them according to rule, because
otherwise it is impossible to hold con-
tests with other grounds, and if there
! is the right sort of director in charge,
| he insists that the rules of the game
be obeyed as religiously as the moral
law; for, in fact, in it's ultimate out
come there is not very much difference
between dlsobey1ng the common law
of the country or the moral law itself
and disobeying the rules Of baseball
or football, for all of these tend to
produe a Iawless individual.
Perhaps the greatest need of every
country is that its citizens shall re-
lquire a community sense, that they
should be able to think in terms larg-
er than those of their own individuai-
ty, and should be willing to work I'M
selfshly for the city, the country or
the organization to which they belong.
In other words, that they should ac-
quire the spirit of loyalty. Professor
Royce says that loyalty is the most
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1912-06-06

fundamental virtue, more elementary
even than love in the moral code A
person who thinks only of himself and
his own welfare is a bad citizen. A
person who always conceives himself
as member of larger whole, to
which his loyalty is due, is good
citizen. How does boy get this
trainings There can be no question
but the easiest way to develop in boy
this community sense, this feeling of
loyalty to some organization larger
than himself, is through team games.
But the boy who is playing game OF
a vacant lot does not acquire this spir-
it, for the reason that the team has
no permanent organization, no captain
and no future. It is team game only
in name. There is no reason why a
boy should be loyal to ball team of
which he is chosen member for this
afternoon, and which is dissolved as
soon as the game is over. When, on
the other hand, the boy comes into the
playground, and becomes a member of
permanent team, he takes part in a
series of contests with other grounds;
Just so far as these contests become
Important to the team, all of the mem
bers of the team are practically COM
PEELED to acquire loyalty. A boy who
still seeks to play the individual game,
to make the long hit or throw to at
tract attention to himself in playing
the game, soon finds that he has all
the influences of the team working
against him., He must be willing to
bat out in order that the man on third
may run IN. He must be willing to
take the undesirable place on the
team, come out and practise when he
wants to go fishing, to do many things
that are unpleasant in order that the
team may be successful, and this spirit
of loyalty which the team creates is
exactly the same sort of thing which
we call good citizenship as applied to
the city, which we call patriotism as
applied to the country, and, if we
agree with Royce, it is the most fun
damental of all virtues.
