F. ]. Gould Gives First of a
Series of Demonstrations
in Kenosha on Monday.
USES CHILDREN FOR EXAMPLE

On Monday afternoon at the high
school j. F. Gould gave his first obser-
walton lesson to all The public school
teachers and number Of visiting
| friends. The Columbus school furnish
ed the group of children, eight boys
and eight girls, ranging in age from
eleven to thirteen. Tuesdays class
will come from the Weiskopf school,
| Wednesday from the Durkee, Thurs
day from the Balm, and Friday from
the Frank.
| Mr.. Gould S method is to take some
moral idea and by means of series
of short stories, varied in character
and in setting, teach the desired les
son. Kindness was the general
theme of the Monday lesson, the ethi-
cal thread upon which all the stories
were strung. Fable, personal incident
and historic tales were different forms
of story material used. Not only was
| the beauty of kindness shown, but by
means of ingenious contrast, the child
rem were shown the difference between
kindness that is unwisely, and kindness
that is sensibly, administered The
kind heart, misdirected by a stupid
head, and the kind heart acting under
the direction of wise, bright, thought
full head, were illustrated by the stories
and the answers of the children left no
doubt in the observers minds about
their appreciation of the point made.
! There was no "rubbing in' of. the
moral at the close of the lesson, pro-
cess resented by most moral boys and
girls. The story teller simply lodged
his suggestion by interesting, drama
tic, presentation, and having lodged it,
left it for the children to absorb.
Mr.. Gould is giving an exhibition of
the teaching art which is profitable for
all teachers of whatever rank, or
grade to see. Parents too, should see
it, and all who are interested are in
vited to come.
On Friday evening at o'clock, Mr..
Gould will give final lesson to which
the public are especially invited. This,
also, will be in the assembly room of
the high school.

Wisconsin street is to be the first
street in the city to have an ornamen
tai lighting system and the system is
to extend from Exchange street as far
west as Chicago street. The formal
petition, signed by more than two
thirds Of the property owners, on the

day night and the city attorney was
directed to prepare an ordinance pro-
viding for the installation of the
lights as provided in the new state
statute with the understanding that
one-third of the cost of installation
and maintenance will be paid by the
city and the remaining two-t thirds by
the property owners.
The ordinance providing for the es-
tablishment of a residence district in
Guiding all the territory bounded on
the east by Lake Michigan, on the
north by Deming street, on the south
by Park Row and on the west by Park
avenue, was passed by unanimous vote
of the council and in the future no
store or other business buildings may
be erected in this territory without the
consent of majority Of the property
owners residing in the district. The
ordinance will become effective by
publication on Thursday.

ance of bonds for the building of the
north side sewer and the addition to
the Balm school were passed and these

REFORMS URGED
BY AUSTRALASIA
Speaker at Business Mems Club
Would Abolish High Schools
and Coeducation.

Many young girls in California have
been wronSed by coeducation. accord
ing to DR.. George Hopford Cowles OF
Australia, who made an address be-
fore the Business Mems Club yesterday
afternoon ON the subject of taxation
He said he had been asked by Cali
fornia people to speak wherever he
could against the practice of mingling
the sexes in schools, which they be-
lleved had contributed to immortality.
DR.. Cowlcs's remarks were mainly
a comparison between the systems Of
government in the United States and
In Australasia. In his own land the
people do not believe in coeducation,
but they do believe In compulsory
education. Among other casual pro.
posals. he advocated the abolition OF
the high school, which he says is ad
mittedly failure in America, and the
devotion OF the money to the strengt tn
ening of elementary schools.
Another little proposition of DR.
Cowles is that America settle the Japa-
nese in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. by
sale OF the islands to the saucy little
country,
He explained the inheritance, absen-
tee, income and land taxes of Australia
The tax on land is placed on un'm

PARAGRAPH PULPIT

Religion and reason are not alien and
apart, but are most intimately related.
Religion is not n superstition OF the
past, from whose tyranny man has not
yet been able TO free himself And
reason is not 81 sin of the present.
whose increasing force threatens the
verify and vitality of the religious life.
Rather Is the one simply the avenue by
which the other is discerned and de-
veloped When God made us both re-
iigious and rational. 1t was not that
the influence or the one might nullify
the other. but that the reason might
disclose the deeper realities OF religion.
