What IL Really IL.
No, the organic school Is not oppos-
ing in spirit the public school, but is
a constructive criticism of a system
that Is SO inf7exibIe that the child
must bend to the system, as metal to
a mould, instead of the system giving
to the child's needs. So this school is
becoming a Informative agency affect
ing the public school.
To return to our proposition that
the body must be strong, we all agree.
Then most Of us submit to the custom
of putting young children in school to
sit for long hours at desks, porting
over books from which they obtain a
minimum of knowledge, at best, in re-
turn for the time spent. We do this
regardless OF the fact that that period
of a child's life should be spent in nat
ura1 activity, in order to give him a
strong body. How does sitting at a
desk give him a strong body? In no
way. 1t hinders. Doctors parents
teachers all agree. Very well; the or

Mrs. Johnson was rather pleased
than otherwise with the appellation

ing founder of the school. Mrs Mariet-
ia L Johnson. She has been a prac-
tical teacher and is yet a more prac-
teal teacher. Besides having taught
in public schools, she was for some
time a teacher OF teachers in the state
normal schools Of Minnesota. But be-
coming dissatisfied with the old way
and it's results, when her own Child
became Of school age she began ex-
pertmenting with what seemed to her
a better way. Starting with six pu-
pills in her own home the work has
grown until there Is now a school home
with space for gardens and trees and
games, and three buildings containing
room for kindergarten, domestic science
and manual training, besides the regu-
lar school room.
Funds have been contributed by
many people interested IN the expert
ment, and the work is TO 20 on. The
is being much improved at
present. Mrs. Johnson conduc ted a
summer school for teachers this year
at Greenwich, Connecticut, and the
education society Of that place became
so interested in the Fairhope school
experiment that they contributed funds
for the next school year.
Mrs. Johnson herself has been asked
to become the principal Of the public
school at Fairhope, and so she will
superintend both schools and as much
rs the state school laws will permit,
will use the organic principles In the
public school.
There are several organic educa-
lion societies at different points, and
ID the idea spreads we believe the
public school will adopt Vt gradually.
There are many similar forces at work
among our educators, and we hope the
lime will soon come when the public
school will be made a larger power
r the good OF our citizens than Il has
ret become.
The work Of the combined public and
organic schools at Fairhope will be
eagerly watched, and one can prophecy
hat with Mrs. Johnson's leadership
md the cooperation of the patrons
md teachers, this Will be a most sue
,essful session that will foretoken a
eft brighter future.

he had intended to. He had left Mrs.
Dolby washing up the dishes and sing
ing to herself. and she had said that
she would have some grease ready for
his boots on his return.
He arrived to find an empty kitchen,
the fire about out and no grease. He
was not greatly surprised. however.
He lighted the lamp. stirred up the
fire and then passed into the sitting
room to find Mrs. Dolby lying on the
door on her back with her eyes rolled
back in her head. Some husbands
would have picked her up and placed
her on the lounge at least. but he sat
down to the table and picked up a
photograph of Niagara falls and began
studying it. He had just finished a
mental calculation Of the number Of
quarts Of water going to waste when
Mrs. Dolby fetched a long drawn groan.
No use.
Mrs. Dolby Faints.
Three minutes passed. and the groan
was longer and more lugubrious.
The deacon paid no attention.
Then Mrs. Dolby sat up and looked
around in seeming establishment and
said:
THAT you, Samuel: l thought l
had died and gone to heaven! l must
have been in a faint for the last half
hour"
He made no reply. and she struggled
up and dragged herself to the lounge
and began to shuttle. Three or four
minutes passed before she said:
Samuel. about three minutes after
you left heard a dog howl and knew
that something dreadful was going to
happen. 1t happened. Mrs. Britt came
In to see If l could give her a little

and then she told me all. Yes. Samuel,

when reeled and staggered and my

decent funeral and weep a few tears
as l was lowered into my last resting
place."
She Knows All.

had worn away o~ne-siXteenth Of an

ing to figure out how many million
years it would take to wear the brink

GOOD SERVICE

During the steamboat days on the Monongahela
river . wizened little rishman applied to the mate
Of tho side-wheel steamer Geneva for q job as
deckhand. The mate thought he was too small
for the work, but tho Irishmsn begged, so he was
taken on. He wasn't on the boat very long until
he was carrying heavier loads than any other man.
One day, while the boat was landing at Believer
non, the mate loaded the Irishman with two big
anvils, one under each arm. When he was half
way down the plank it broke. and the lrishman,
with the anvils, fell into the water and sank.
With great splashing he came to the surface and
yelled, "t'row me a rope" The crew was so ex-
cited, seeing him in the water with the two anvils
under his arms they couldn't get together to
throw him q rope. He sank again, and az he came
to the surface be spluttered the water out of his
mouth and h%ollered, ''say. if one NV you fellers
don't hurry up and trow me a rope I'm going to
drop one of these damn things"
Can you beat that for faithful service? You'll
be travelling some of you. too. By the way, ser
vice is one of the main points in business nowa-
days, and in no business is it more needed than in
