As the big Y. NJ c. A. clock moved
gradually forward from one thousand
dollar mark 10 another the interest
grew intense: some predicted failure
when the hand seemed TO be moving
slowly but when the clock moved up

the object had been accomplished.
Mr.. Collins was due in town On No.

drums to the train to escort him
home. They gave him cheer after
cheer and his estimation OF his boys
and OF his older friends in Canon was
awakened to sense Of realization
that nothing hut an assurance of a
new 7. n. c A. home could possibly
have aroused.
Anyway the winding up Of the CAM
paign for a beautiful new home for
the Y. NJ C. A. was a most successful
one and. as the gratitude due. canno,
easily be placed evactiy where 1t be-
longs IL must go through the press as
a tribute to the enterprise and public
spiritedness of the entire commun-

The Scouts deserve some particular

work OF the older boys and 1t goes on

Canon City can well be proud o.
what has been accomplished within

No greater project has ever been
credited to a city anywhere than this
is for Canon.
>Mr. Pratt and Mr.. Wade both say
that the boys of this city will never
regret what they have done and the
gratitude shown by them to the men
who were at the head of the campaign
is generous.

Do You Ever Give Up?

Every working man has times in
his life when it just seems as if
everything goes wrong. The little
bank account dry. and it is hard
work to keep from giving up.
A man who owns one of our
Home Plot tracts will never have
any such experience. His land will
produce enough to make money for
a living, and to spare, and beside
the land itself is growing into
money very rapidly. Land that is
farther out than our tracts, which
sold for $3.50 per acre three years
ago, is today worth 800. You
wouldn't give up with a few acres
of such land behind you. Well,
you can easily get one Of these lit
tie farms now il you care to. The
long time. easy pay contract makes
il easy for you. Home Plot Co.,

The Practical in Education.

%. r. Taylh. Superintendent City
School, Deming)
For some years past the tendency
toward the practical has largely in
fluenced the direction of educa.
tional thought. The desire to
make the work in school fore.
runner to the life of the child has
been one of the influences shaping
this tren d in educational life.
Along with this aim that education
may assist the individual in some
way to solve directly the problem
of practical living. This natural eff.
fort is nothing more than an at
tempt on the part Of man to adapt
himself to his physical environment
thru the aid of the intellectual
part of his being. This is no new
manifestation of the longing of
the human mind to subdue or con.
troll the physical side of the world
in which he lives. The domination
Of matter by this mind has been
the one great struggle in the world
life, and at different stages of the
race development manifested itself
under different phases. 1t has been
only short time since our educa.
ton began and ended with the
development of the mind. Every
effort was made to increase the
thought power. Now the tendency
is develop mind and hand. Skill is
sought for, as well as mental
power. II is now realized that the
technical school the industrial
school, is the outgrowth Of a long
felt want in our educational system.
1t is not an ephemera phase of
school work come to disturb the
surface of educational thought for
season, and then die the death of
an ordinary phase, but it is phase
that will remain as long as it
attempts to make our educational
system better and more rational.

ingly. Already we have sold 80
little farms and are selling them

Much of this land is under in
