METHODIST BISHOP
CR|T|C|sEs SCHOOLS
Rev. Francis j. Mcconnell
Says Things Are Made
Too Easy.
DECLARES METHODS LAX
Character Building Subject OF
Sermon at Tiff Methodist
Church.

The schools of today are not produc
ing the thorough scholars that the old
time schools did. Things are made toe
easy for the children They hardly
know when play stops and work begins
That may seem fine TO the children
but when they get ont in the world
they will find that it is hard work
that counts. and will wish they had
been given a more rigid training.
So declared the Rev. Francis ]. Nc
Conncll OF Denver. bishop of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, in sermon de-
lievered yesterday morning at the IL
O clock service in the Tiff church In
attacking the lax methods of modern
schools, he merely made comparison,
saving that the worst trouble was the
laxity of Christians. He said that II
.he average Christian had more diff
culties TO contend with. his character
would develop more strongly and his
faith would become abiding.
The theme OF the sermon was char
acter building, In part he said:
Trouble Makes Character.
There is plenty of trouble in
this world, and believe that with
out it we would not have strong
characters. Just when a man
thinks he has a good start with all
things moving right along comes
o calamity, such IA death or
business failure, and he has to start
over again or his faith is severely
Iol ho
planned except in one way. The
Rocky mountains are never appre.
ciated until after one has passed
over the long stretches Of dreary
plains in the middle west. It
makes my blood run cold to hear
some preacher try to tell -specifi
cally about some great disaster.
He doesn t know anything about
it, and it is useless to try to ex-
plain. Some try to quote the Bible
for causes Of such things. They
had better keep still, as they
usually misquote God.
Some persons have come to me
and said, "why preach about high
ideals and ambitions7 Hunger is
the only driving force. It is hun
ger that causes great migrations
and social revolutions But I
doubt that. Hunger drives cattle,
too. but men and women are some
thing more than beasts. We can
endure little hunger for awhile
if there is feast waiting for us.
Most everyone s life Is series of
long stretches OF monotony, If we
stand by our path faithfully dur
ing the monotonous stretches, the
beautiful mountains of hope will
seem AS the higher and better when
at last they are reached. The
flash of light after leaving a tun-
mel seems much more bright than
real daylight.

Much Gas Is Used.

The gas bag was filled to capacity with
$4,000 cubic feet OF gas. The gas was
by the gas company. especially FOR the
imitation and the cost was approximately
$50. Estimating 1000 cubic feet Of gas
as the monthly amount used by the aY-
erage family the balloon contained enough
gas TO supply forty families for an entire
month.
Although shorter than we had intend
ed. the trip was a thoroughly enjoyable
one" said Mr.. Mccormick after he had
arrived on terra frma once more. "There
were no misbaps and nothing out OF the
ordinary occurred. AS far as that is
much safer than any automobile, we
take the trips merely for pleasure and
may take another this summer The air,
while light. was invigoratin and ii was
much cooler and more pleasant than down

Physical Testing of Cotton Yarns.

Washington, d. c., June 24-The bu-
reau of standards, department OF COM
merce, has prepared brief monograph
ON the subject of the Physical Test
ing of Cotton Yarns" which is a report
of the results of an investigation that
has been conducted Aor the past three
years on the problem of testing this
material in its many forms.
The manufacture OF cotton is one Of
the largest industries of the United
States. Large quantities of raw cot
ton are made into threads, Irvine, rope,
fabric. etc. and these products find
their way to all parts OF the world.
Their value to the ultimate consumer
depends upon the quality of the raw
material and the care of manufacture.
The test by service is the ideal test of
quality, but such tests are generally
not practicable. II therefore becomes
necessary to have methods of testing
which may be applied easily and which
viii furnish reliable data for use in
agreements between producer, distribu-
tor. and consumer.
Only a limited number OF yarns has
thus far been investigated, but il is be-
lieved that the results already attained
and presented in this paper will fur
nish information of value to manuisc-
turers and consumers.

Washington. June 24.-The president
yesterday signed the sundry civil appro-

would have vetoed, if he could, the pro-
vision in it exempting labor unions and
farmers organizations from prosecution
under the certain 100000 fund desig
mated for the enforcement of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The president criticised this provision
but pointed out that it does not prevent
such prosecutions if they should be con-
sidered proper He also declared that
appropriation bills should be just APP
preparation measures, and all foreign
legislation should be kept out of them.

MAKING FARMERS OF CITY WAITS.
Interesting Experiment Tried by New
York Agricultural School.

Transplanting homeless boys of II to
l6 years of age from the crowded dis
tricts of the metropolis to the farms
of rural New York is the task attempt
ed by the Lincoln agricultural school,
of Dincolndale, n. u, according to in
formation received at the United States
bureau of education.
This school, which is charitable in
stitution, takes boys fresh from the
city streets, gives them practical train
ing in agriculture, teaches them proper
living conditions, and then finds places
for them with families of farmers, thus
helping the boys to better citizenship
and giving the state more and better
farmers.
Lincoln school is made as different as
possible from the traditional "institu-
ton" Groups of attractive cottages re-
place the old-time single, huge struc-
ture of the cities; instead of the big
common dining hall usual in charitable
institutions, number of small dining
rooms are provided; and each group OF
boys has a separate sleeping apartment.
Every effort is made TO produce a real
home environment, where the child may
develop under conditions as nearly as
possible like those of a normal home
The school has farm of 600 acres. with
model dairy buildings and herd Of
about $50 cattle. The boys are taught
to produce absolutely clean milk and to
grow fruit and vegetables by the most
modern methods.
Home and social training is empha
sized in the Lincoln school. Not only |
are the boys trained to be good farm !
ers, but they are fitted for entrance to
the better class of rural homes. I'VE |
feel that our training makes boy a |
very acceptable member of society," de-
clares Brother Barnabas, superintend
ent of the school. Our aim is to teach |
the boy to know and respect himself; |
10 give him the means whereby he may
be enabled to earn an honest livelihood
10 teach him habits of thrift and eco
nomy, so that some day from the saw
ngs of his industry he may become a
