hatched fall chickens that We are COM
PEELED to keep shut up in close quar-
tiers during this snappy weather, and
they are not paying for the food let
alone the care.
Raising poultry demands considera-
BILE attention. and some times We get
considerably vexed.
If there is any animal that hasn't
one bit of sense. ii is a chicken out in
the cold, We speak of people being
crazy with the heat or of going bugs
from the cold. and this latter can sure
ly be applied to the poultry family,
That first cold night. the writer was
compelled to drive and carry about
fifty chickens to their houses, Some
were sitting on the fence with their
heads tucked under their wings. others
were sitting bumped up in wind shell
tered corners of the building and 9th
ers were out behind the barn afraid to
brave the cutting wind and go to their
quarters.

A lean. worn team Of horses was
hitchsd to . heavy truck nlled with

The tired animals thrust their necks
into the collars and strained hard to
keep the load moving. The street led
up q sharp incline. There had been
q slight snow, and the street was slip

The load was heavy enough without
q hill TO contend with. There must
have been hard hearts at tho coal
yard where this truck was loaded.
The team tried to get start up the
hill and failed.
The driver brought his heavy whip

down. and the harness dragged the
other one OF his feet.

PERSONALITY.

Personality is the thing that dis
tinguishes man and sets him off
from the crowd. Thousands drift in
the known channels unnoticed. But
the man who is original and can step
out and blaze a way for himself usu
ally gets acquainted with the top
most rungs in the ladder of success.
Personality is a great asset in this
age of commercialism. Somehow the
man who has a striking personality
easily wins way to anyone whom he
approaches.
Many a man is jeered and turned
down in the business world because
he hasn't a commanding personality.
1t is in the advertising side of the
newspaper business that personality
counts. and counts strong.
Personality comes through being
original.

since he became president of the
normal school. Todd Kirk who had
two years work at the University OF
Missouri and three at Illinois is the
only one of the family to leave the
field of education. He went in the
railroad business. Victor, 22 years
old, will teach mathematics in a Utah
high school this year. The twins of
the family are Miss Pauline and
Mary. They will complete their
course at the State Normal and will
teach this year as directors of music
and art.
This normal school president who
has materially advanced the educa-
tiOnal interests of the state is a
Methodist. He is Free Mason and
an Odd Fellow. He is also sought as
a. lecturer. Mr.. Kirk has lectured in
practically every Missouri town and
in several towns of other states. He
is an orator and always has some
thing to say. Many times when the
proceeds of his lectures were turned
over to him he in turn paid out of
his private lecture fees the expenses
of some normal teacher to give the
teacher chance to study some new
idea to be put in the Kirksville Nor
NAL School. REX b. MAGEE.

SEEKING AND KNOWING.

1t is said that not long ago a man
strolling around the University cam
pus questioning a number of stu
dents in regard to certain familiar
objects on which he wished infOrma-
ton, and was surprised that many of
the students could not give him the
information he sought. That the
students are not familiar with every
thing on the campus and around the
University is not surprising. The
University is big institution. To
see ell of it and to know all about it
are things one could hardly expect of
the students. They have enough in
their own particular lines to take all
the attention of which they are ca
pable.
Persons with no other motive than
to see everything and to know some
thing of everything that comes with
in their range of observation are
accumulating a lot of mental junk
interesting only bee; use it is junk.
Junk collecting takes time and the
collection occupies room. Most per-
sons would prefer to use the availa-
BILE space in their craniums for the
reception of material stored up for
some specific purpose.
When there is reason why things
should be seen and when there is an
evident purpose for getting infOrma-
tion. seeing and knowing will follow
as natural sequence

ucatiOn. He is now the president OF
the State Normal School in Kinks
vile and has been at the head of that
school a longer period than any OF
his predecessors.
A man of education and for educa-
tion he, Mr.. Kirk. has dreamed
of education, talked education, OBJ
tained education and has dispensed
education. But regardless of the fact
that he has always been a lover of
education. this man has not had an
easy way. He got what education he
could in the public schools and was
graduated from the Kiiksville State
Normal school. Since. he has OBJ
tanned some education at various col
leges in regular sessions, summer
terms and extension courses. If
something new comes up today he
goes after it as he does in going af-
ter a new and more efficient method
of educating the new generation.
Mr.. Kirk is not a native Missouri
ian, although he expects to remain a
citizen always. He was born in Illi-
nOis. Bureau county, in January
1851. Five years he spent in that
state. Five years as a teacher were
spent in Iowa. Then came the move
of his parents to Missouri where he
has become a genuine citizen inter-
ested in the welfare and especially in
the education of Missourians.
A Teacher Forty Years.
Forty years he has spent teaching
and attending school. His cervices
as teacher have not been limited to
Missouri alone, however, for he has
taught from Iowa to Mississippi. His
first school of which he was principal
after he was a graduate of the State
Normal School of which he is now
president. was at MOuIton, Iowa.
Then, for four years he was school
commissioner of Harrison county. In
1884 he was admitted to the bar and
decided to draw away from the field
of education and devote his time to
legal fights. He has law degrees
from Park College and the Missouri
Wesleyan College.
But that everlasting desire to take
a part in the education of the young
people was too strong and he needed
the call again in 1883 ct which time
he became the principal of the Adams
School of Kansas City. Then he be-
came a teacher in the Central High
School and afterwards was the super
of Westport High School
there.
1t was while in Kansas City that he
became a student in the Kansas Uni
versity extension course. Then he
took up the extension course offered
by the University of Missouri. He
then became the lecturer and con-

| that the electric power can Ue Hlduc,
the house can be heated by steam;
modern toilet rooms including the
shower bath are available; there is a
room for domestic science-all OF
which make it the better for practi-
cal education of the rural pupils.
Even the attic is used for education
al purposes for there the manual
training room is made. In this man
ual training room a bed which rolls
through a door in the attic wall is
ready for the unlucky pupil who
should suffer from an accident.
Now if all the official titles of this
aggressive MissOurian educator were
enumerated, the list would be tire
some. So the fact that he has been
president, state director and commit
tee chairman from president of the
library department of the National
Educational Association down to va
riOus other educational associations
will be sufficient 20 show how high
he stands in the educational world.
This year. as he was last year, he is
State Director of the Southern Edu
catiOnai Association.
But previous to his place as presi-
dent of the kirksville State Normal,
Mr. Kirk. was with the University of
MissOuri.He had taken the Extension
course and had enrolled in the sum-
mer school. Immediately after his
term as State Superintendent of Pub
lie Schools, he was selected as in
spectOr of schools for the University
of Missouri. This place he held un-
til the presidency of the normal
school was offered. This recOnstruc-
zionist liked his place at the Univer-
sity. He sought the advice of the
University president. Richard H.
Jesse. When the facts were told, DR.. |
Jesse said: Kirk, you can serve the |
people. Resign here; go there. Build |
something"
Mr.. Kirk did and has been build
ing something for fourteen years. |
The board, which is composed of
Democrats and Republicans, have en-
dorsed the methods of this Republi-
can normal president who is not a |
but a progressive, and |
nave practically given him free reign |
to develop and direct the State Nor
NAL CO!le0e in his own way. He does,
and the college has shown a wonder
full development since he has been
placed at the head. This president
attributes the success of the new
ideas and new ways of instruction to
teachers under him.
His ideal of pedagogical education
is to train city high school teachers
side by side with the village and ru-
raj teachers in college atmosphere
where city and rural students ell
bows touch day by day, and to en-
phasize the rural department. He
believes in pedagogical agriculture
and is an ardent supporter of practi-
cal education in this as in other
things.
Most of the children of this edu-
ratOr are getting their share of edu-
cation and in turn are following the
footsteps of the father by entering
The educational field. The mother of
this family of educators, before her
to Mr.. Kirk, was Miss Re-
becca |. Burns of Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Their Oldest child Robert L. Kirk,
is graduate of the Kirksville State
Normal, the University of Missouri
and the University of South Dakota.
He is now president of the Salem,
Ore. High School. Miss Elsie is the
to her father and has been
