Oh. Seaman A. Knapp, the founder
of the Farm Demonstration Work in
the South, of the Boys Germ Club:
and of the Girls Canning Clubs, died
April l, 1911. His work mas grown
until there are now in the South one
thousand agents demonstrating bet
ter methods of farming and home
making to fully a hundred thousa I'd
farmers, seventy-five thousand boys,
and twenty-five thousand girls.
Immediately following DR.. Knapp )
death numerous suggestions arose
throughout the South in regard to a
memorial in his honor 1t was argued
that we are prompt to build monu-
ments and pay tribute to the heroes
of war, and why not build one for he
TO in arts of peace. DR., Knapp's work
and teachings made it well nigh inn
possible to erect a manument of cold
marble or dead bronze 1t was feit
that there must be living memorial.
A Knapp Memorial Committee was or
gained with representatives from
every Southern state.
After careful deliberation it was de
cided to place this memorial at Nasn
vile in connection with George Pea
body College for Teachers as a part
of the Seaman A. Knapp School of
Country Life, which had juse been en-
dowed with $250,00O by the General
Education Board, in May, 1912. The
Knapp Memorial Committee decided
that the most fitting and effecti.c
memorial they could create would re-
suit from this union effort. 1t was de-
termined, accordingly, to erect the
Knapp building on the campus of
George Peabody College for Teachers
and to purchase and equip the Knapp
Farm within a suitable distance OF
Nashville The Committee has under
taken to raise $4,000 throughout the
South for the building and for the
farm.

the work of an experiment station.

pies discovered by these workers III

knowledge of scientific farming al

| Another important work of the
school will be to conduct experiments
in agricultural pedagogy and in the
Organization Of the social units and
forces which are to build up country
life. While due regard will he had for
the development of pure-bred seed and
animals, for illustrating the best de-
vices and implements to be used in
farming, for working out crop rot2
tons, the main emphasis will BE-
placed upon discovering, testing, and
applying those principles which will
teach the jewellers in the country how
to improve themselves and their modes
OF living even to a greater extent than
they improve their crops Bigger
crops, larger income, increased wealth
will be regarded as the necessary
means toward producing more efic-
lent men, women more interested and
happy, children blessed with their
proper birthright.

SPECIAL CLASSES FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN

That IL out of every 100 pupils at
the threshold of the public schools are
mentally unusual" and need special
treatment, If possible apart from other
children, is the conclusion reached by
DR.. Arnold Gesell, of Yale University.
in a publication just issued by the
United States Bureau of Education.
Take the ordinay kindergarten and
first grade, with a combined enroll
ment of 100 pupils" says DR.. Gesell
Among this number we may expect :,
find at least one child feeble-minded;
one child who suffers; two or three
who seriously lisp; another extremely
anemic; badly spoilt child anoth r
babyish-a year or two retarded in
mental or moral growth; and still an
other morally weak. There will be one
negative child-passive, colorless; one
oyer-sensitiv nervous child; one
specifically precocious child; another
distinctly superior-eager, ardent, i'm
aginative, sociable.
The Special Class
For some of these children there is
no better disposition than prompt as
] signment to special class, the special
class method having been put into
successful operation for 13 different
types of children. But even the spec
ial classes-particular the so-called
ungraded classes for backward chill
dren that have been established in our
larger cities-are greatly in need OF
inventory.
THE diversity of the ungraded class
membership is often pathe@cally pic

such class in large eastern city:

POWERFUL RADIO STATION.
Believed Its Waves Will Reach Buenos
Aires From Panama.


One of the greatest naval radio sta
lions in the world, even eclipsing in
size the new station at Arlington, Va,
is to be constructed by the United
States at Caimito, In the canal zone.
1t will be known as the Darien radio
station, and. whereas only one of the
Arlington towers reaches the height of
COO feet, all three of the towers at
Darien will be that height
The Darien plant, it is expected, will
be able to communicate with San
Francisco, as well as with Arlington,
and to reach into the southern seas
as far as Valdivia, Chile, 421 miles
south Of Valparaiso, on the west coast
Of South America, and as far as
Buenos Aires, Argentina, on the east
side. Throwing its waves across the
Atlantic. this new station should COM
municate with the island of st. Vim
cent, 500 miles west of Africa.
The Darien station will be used ex-
clusively for government business,
principally as a relay station for COM
municating with naval vessels In south
ern waters, and the present wireless
stations at Colon and Balboa will con-
tinue to handle messages for ships
using the canal

LIFTING WATER CAUSES
INJURY TO FARM WIVES.
Special Federal Bulletin Gives College
Professors Views on Drudgery.

Water handling, not its use, is the
reason why the wives of farmers lose
their figures, their color and the spar
kle of their eyes, according to Presi.
dent Joe Cook of the Mississippi Nor
NAL college, whose discovery is con-
sidered of sufficient Importance by the
United States bureau of education 10
make it the subject of a special bull
letin just issued.
In the presence of water handling
President Cook declares the rural
school has little chance to improve con-
ditions. He declares the average farm
er's wife lifts a ton of water day in
conducting her housewifely duties.
1.-THE getting of the water from the
source of supply to the point of appli-
cation requires more manual labor
than any other item in housekeeping"
says Professor Cook. 1.-THE water for
The kitchen has to be lifted from the
WELL carried to the kitchen, poured
into a kettle poured out OF the kettle
into the dishpan and from the dishpan
out of door. This makes six times the
water is handled, and a bucket of

containing vessel, Will weigh twenty
pounds.
when this is handled six times the
total lifting is 120 pounds. The cook
ing of three meals n day on meager
allowance of water will necessitate ten
buckets, which will make cooking alone
1900 pounds of lifting per day.
when to this is added the water
necessary for bathing. scrubbing and
the weekly washing it will easily bring
the lift a day up to a ton, and the lift
ing OF ton n day will take the elias

All this drudgery, says Professor
Cook, could be obviated at an outlay of
$3.50, even on the most isolated farm,
through the installation of a pumping
system.
