7. R. FALLS FOR AUTO
The Colonel Now Sits Behind the
Steering Wheel.

New York. Jan. 19.-Theodore
Roosevelt. colonel of the Rough Rid
ers. has at length yielded to the tend
ency of the times and sits behind the
steering wheel of his automobile.
Residents of Oyster Bay on several oc-
casions recently have seen Colonel
Roosevelt driving through the town
with his hand on the wheel steering
the car as though he We're thoroughly
familiar with the mysteries of the
levers and pedals which must be
manipulated.
The sight was a surprising one, be-
cause of Colonel Roosevelt's love of
horses and aversion to automobiles.
When he was at oyster Bay during the
summer while he was president he for
bade automobiles to enter his grounds
in their machines.
In spite of Colonel ROosevelt's pref
erence for the horse, he found an au-
tomobile Indispensable when he began
to make regular trips between Oyster
Bay and his editorial offices in New
York If he went by train he was be-
sieged by persons who wanted to talk
with him. Gradually he picked up in
/ formation about the mechanism of the
car. but it was only recently that he
began to drive it. The colonel still
prefers the horse, however, and takes
daily horseback rides.
As a concession to the automobile,
Colonel Roosevelt recently built a
broad macadam road from his home
on the crown Of Sycamore hill to the

JENNINGS PLANS FOR RACE.
No Startling Changes for Tigers Likely
This Year.

Scranton, Pa, Jan 19.-On his way
to Detroit from Providence. r. L, F. J.
Navin of the Detroit American league
team dropped off in this city and got
Hugh Jennings name to a one-year
contract to manage the Tigers in 1912
The terms were not disclosed, but
Jennings admitted the figure fell lit
tie short of John McGraw's $4,000 sti-
pend.
Jennings and Navin had little or no
difficulty agreeing on salary and after
the papers were all signed the two
Tiger leaders arranged for the tram
ing triD Of the team. The youngsters
leave fer Monroe, La, on February "A
and the veterans leave on March
Navin poohpooed the new outlaw
league. He says the promoters have
not chance to gain foothold in the
major league cities.
Il can see where they might have
fair chance in New York because there
are enough people to patronize dozen
clubs. but they show their hands when
they try to bluff into such towns as
Reading" said Navin.
Among other things the Detroit
magnate denied was the reported trade
of Third Baseman Moriarty to CIeve-
land for Graney and StoVaH. He VIII
not ha e any use for Stovall, he said,
as physicians assure him that Gaynor
will be in fine shape and 1t is settled
that Moriarty will be seen at his old
place at third base again next season.
Jennings is consid ering the adVis-
ability of taking a chef and a corps of
walters on the training trip. in order
to condition the Tigers on proper diet.
He will quarter his men in one large
building near the grounds If the train
ing table plan is adopted.

THE LITTLE WIDOW A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to
 Have.

"A little widow, neighbor of mine, persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when my stomach was so weak that 1t would not retain food of any other kind," writes a grateful woman. from San Bernardino Co.,, Cal.
 q had been i'll and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostra- tion for three long months after the birth of my second boy. We were in despair until the little widows advice brought relief.
 q liked Grape-Nuts food from tn. beginning, and in an incredibly short time 1t gave me such strength that I was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals day. In 2 months my weight increased from 95 to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to see me gain so rapidly, and still more so when they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had brought the change.
 My 4-year-old boy had eczema very bad last spring and lost his appetite entirely, which made him cross and peevish. put him on a diet of Grape Nuts, which he relished at once. He improved from the beginning, the ec- zema disappeared and now he Is fat and rosy, with a delightfully."- soft, clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did it. will willingly answer all inquiries.

dunces by their teachers. That was merely because the teachers were try ing to make them learn things for which they had no taste.
 q told one of my old professors at | Harvard recently that the university men who had made great successes in life had done it in spite of, and not be- cause of what they learned at the uni versity.
 When I sent my three sons to Har- yard l told them to disregard marks and to study what they liked best. One of them went through with hon. ors, the other two were, from the col lege standpoint, failures, but this does not mean that they may not achieve as great success in life as their broth CT.
 Tt Is just this principle that we are applying here. It is an experiment in education. It may fail for lack of support, but do not think 1t will. The school has been open only ten days, but we have 15 pupils, few of whom have not yet come, but are expected in day or two. They pay nothing for tuition. Their parents subscribe or not, as they like, to the support of the school. AS matter of fact, they all do like, for they are all persons in- terested in the cause.
 "The experiment is worth trying, for the older method Is failure. Our public school teaching, or lack of teaching, is largely responsible for the increase in crime. The most intelli- gent school teachers know this and many of them are watching this ex- pertinent of ours with deep interest"
 How would it be possible" MT. Coryell, was asked, "to put such a sys- tenn as yours into effect in the pub lie schools? Would 1t not require vastly larger staff of teachers, more and smaller class rooms and many million dollars more every year?"
 Sees Saving of Millions.
 Certainly" was the reply. But we should save more millions than 1t would cost, for it would largely de- populate our reformatories, prisons, jails and hospitals. We had far bet ter take the millions these now cost and devote them to education of the sort that fits men for useful careers along the lines for which they are most suited"
 The Ferrer school is not yet fur nished. The walls are bare save for a few striking pictures; the floors are almost bare; the furniture is of the cheapest, but there are flowers on the tables and mantlepiece and brightly colored picture books for the smaller children, and everything is scrupu- lously clean.
 They would not send child home to wash its face or hands, but they would try in some way to give it an object lesson in the virtue of clean Illness; for instance 1t would not be allowed to handle pretty book with soiled fingers, and then 1t would be up to itself to decide whether it preferred to be clean or dirty.
 So cleverly are such lessons in stilled that the children prefer to be clean.

 mer should be made into neckties.
 Methods of Mrs. CoryeII.
 A group of small children sat around Mrs. Coryell at a table playing a game. She had distributed brass rings among them and asked them to see who could make the prettiest pattern with them. Instantly all the heads were bent over the table and in few minutes stars and circles and geomet- rtcal designs were taking shape The little ones were unconsciously learning form and order and were adding and multiplying in their heads before they even knew figures. Picture books with animals, flowers, letters, and so on are scattered about the table and the chil- dren take them up and ask questions about they just as they please.
 One day when a visitor called to see the school at work he was told the children were playing. In any other school it would have been les son hours. In this school lesson hours are those in which the children want lessons, play hours are those in which the children want to play. It being inn possible to have any unanimity, some of the children play while others have lessons, and vice versa, just as the children please.
 They arrive when they like and go home when they like. But the teach CTS try to make the school so attrac- tive a place that the pupils will come early and stay late.
 Defense of the Project.
 'Radical?" said MT. Coryen, when asked if this was not a radical depart ure from the ordinary school Yes, radical in the method of teaching, but not radical in the things taught. For we teach the same things that are taught in other schools. We go upon the same principles laid down by Her. bert Spencer and by Froebel, which amount to this, that 1t is useless to try to teach children about matters in which they have no interest.
 We believe that every child inher- Its certain abilities and tastes from its parents, and that 1t is our duty as teachers to supply such environment as will best aid the child to develop itself along the lines to which 1t is best suited We never teach doctrines or opinions. We teach facts and their meanings. We try to show the child how to think for itself and to form its own opinions.
 "This can only be done in very small classes, for the work involves careful personal study of each individual child. The large classes of the public schools make 1t necessary to system atize everything and to teach children certain prescribed subjects, whether these be useful or beneficial to them or not.
 We agree with Dr. Saleeby of Eng land that modern educational methods are like cramming a child's stomach full of variety of indigestible foods and then giving him an emetic to find out what he has retained--the emetic, of course, being the school examina- tion. We give the child only that which his appetite craves, then we need no examination emetic to find out what he has retained.
 From Ounces to Great Thinkers.
