Kansas City, Aug. Michael T.
Thit, or "Wideawake,'' was known by
thousands of people here as we'll as
by many visitors to the city.
For many years his vigilance 2
cry, 'FWideawake,' saved the unwary
from death or injury. There were
remarkably few accidents while he
was on guard at the Junction. which
was a dangerous crossing during the
cable line days.
May "a, 1912, "Wideawake," wear
ing his faded suit of soldiers blue,
stepped from a Leavenworth car at
the Junction and went over to the
pavement in front of the ticket Of
flee. Hundreds of persons recog-
uized him and for two hours he held
a reception with old friends.
He was II years old.

canada,s Science of Government.

In some directions the science of gov
eminent is more highly developed in
Canada than in any other country in the
world. A notable instance of this is in
the administration and disposal of pub
lie land. Notwithstanding the vast
area to be given away to settlers, there
has been no prodigality or waste. The
home builder is the man that is wanted,
and he is the only one who can secure
title TO arabic land. The banking sys-
tenn is held to be superior to that of
the United States; tenure in admins
trative and judicial Office is based large
" upon good behavior; immigration is
restricted along protective lines; and the
customs are administered with the least
possible inconvenience TO the importer
or the traveler.-ln August Century.

Minor Government Clerk Who Became
Chief of a Great Service.

In the Interesting People" depart
ment OF the August American Magazine
appears an article about Sumner /. Kim
ball, chief of the United States life
saving service, who rose TO that posi-
ton from a minor clerkship in the treas
ury department by sheer ability and
imaginative power. Mr.. Kimball ere.
ated the life-saving service as it now
exists, and is still planning for it al
though he is now man seventy light
years old. Following is an extract from
the article;
away back near the middle of the
last century, namely in the year 1861
little curly haired. browne eyed, square
jawed man, still in his twenties, gave
up the practice of law as member OF
the Boston bar and accepted minor
clerkship in the treasury department at
Washington.
'The young mans name was Sumner
l. Kimball. He had been graduated from
Bowdoin college at Che age of twenty
one, had taught school for a season, and
served term in the legislature of his
native state, Maine. If any of his ac-
quaintances knew how little Uncle Sam
had to offer in the way OF advancement
to a young man of education and ability,
his change of vocation must have APP
peared to them as the sacrifice of prom
Using career. He was the exception that
proved the rule, however.
"By 1870 he had climbed up through
the several clerical grades to the posi-
tion of chief clerk in the Office of the
second auditor. While serving in that
capacity his abilities attracted the at
tention of the secretary of the treas
ury, and in the following year he was
appointed chief of the revenue marine
now the revenue cutter service.
Here was field of endeavor await
ing the talents of the new chief So
well did he succeed in his undertaking
that on June Is, lsTs,-by which time
he had established a total of 14S life
saving stations and extended the service
to all our sea and lake coasts. Con
gress divorced the service from the rev.
enue marine and made it an independ

with the title of general superintend-
ent.
To-day the organization mas nearly
800 commodious stations equipped with
the most approved boats and life-saving
appliances, and manned by more than
1900 men, who, under a system of semi
military discipline, guard nearly 10000
miles of coast.
"Since the year 1871, when Mr.. kim
ball took over the handful of boat shell
tiers that formed the nucleus Of the es-
Enlistment, the crews of the service have
assisted upward of $4,000 vessels, carry
ing total Of 100000 persons. OF these,
only 800 were lost a less number by
nearly 200 than persisted when the Ii

CRITICISMS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
System Criticized but 1t Is Better Now
Than Fifty Years Ago

Current criticisms of the public school
are discussed in a report just issued by
the United States bureau of education
Among other things, the contention that
the three RS" are neglected in the
modern school is answered with the en-
phatic statement that "the three RS
are better taught to-day than they were
fifty or sixty years ago.
"We frequently hear that there are
too many Subjects too many fads and
frills,' and hence neglect of the three
RS" says the report, 1.-THE critics who
utter this sort of criticism seldom agree
on exactly what the fads and frills are,
but they invariably look back to gold
EN- past, when the so.called 'fundamen-
tails reading, writing and arithmetic,
were taught in such way as never
to be forgotten. As matter of fact,
the system Of to-day is UNNECESSARILY
ahead of the school system of the past.
The growth has been steady. Whatever
may be said against the enrichment of
the course of study, its 'fads and frills,'
the contention that the essentials, So
called have suffered in comparison with
the past. falls fiat"
IN discussing current cTlblclsm gen
orally, the report finds that much of
the criticism of the public schools of
to-day is due to marked change in the
purpose of public education. THE charge
of curriculum behind the times and
the demand for vocational subjects, rep.
resent no mere call for different school
subjects as such, but complete trans
formation in the idea of what the pub
lie school should be.
'"Those who criticise the bookish cur
riculum of the public school, whether
elementary or high school, are really
striving for what they conceive to be
the changed purpose of education To
reach all the children of all the people
with the kind of training that will make
them not merely intelligent in respect to
things that are in books, but will equip
them directly for the kind of life, eco
nomic and social, which they viii lead
when they leave school; while those who
oppose the innovations do so because
they do not concede this broadened though
more specialized, purpose

The Lake Champlain Yacht club of

wears has been the only important yacht
club on Lake Champlain, has moved into

with its furnishings, will have cost
about $4,000, will be formally accepted

erected to replace that destroyed by fire
year and half ago and since that
time the club has been housed in tenn
porary structure.
Deer throughout this state and the
Adirondacks are very plentiful this sum
mer, according to woodsmen, who also
say that remarkable growth of antlers
has developed probably because of the
winter without snow. The deer came
out of the winter fat and well fed, with
the result that much nutrition could go
into the antlers. Contrary to most
winters, there were few deer TO die. In
winters with heavy SHOWS, only the
stronger animals survive.
John Celey, superintendent of the II.
r. Fletcher quarry in Woodbury., was
quite seriously injured July %, when he
was struck on the head by the pin from
a boom on a derrick, cutting cash
which it required several stitches to
close. He was thrown about twenty
feet, falling over ledge, distance of
six or seven feet into pile of grout.
He received other slight injuries on his
head and body Mr.. Celley has been
most of the time since the accident in
an unconscious condition and there is
