Whence Came the Alarm

Chicago, Dec. 26.-Miss Grace
McArron, of Calumet, arrived in Chi
cago from her home today, and said
the story Of the man coming to the
head of the stairs and shouting fire
in italian hall, where more than u
persons were trampled to death, was
not true.
"The alarm was given right in the
hail." said Miss McArron.
"A little blaze started on the
Christmas tree. and some one cried
fire. Then there was a mad rush for
the DOORS"
Miss McArron was former proof
reader in the Michigan senate, and is
now stenographer for the Houghton
county grand jury investigating the
copper miners strike.

SEEKING man Who
RAISED FALSE ALARM

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 26.-On the day
Christendom sets aside as one of re-
joicing over the birth of the Saviour,
Calumet, stricken to the heart by an
almost unbelievable catastrophe stands
mourning by the side of it's dead-the
u victims, most of them children, OF
the frightful panic on Christmas Eve,
in the Italian hall. This panic fol-
lowed false alarm cry of fire during
the progress of a Christmas tree en-
tertainment arranged for families OF
the copper strikers.
All bitterness and ill-feeling that
has existed in this strike ridden COM
munity for months past is wiped away
by the one great, common affliction.
Today the people of Calumet only can
see their neighbors, their brothers,
their sisters and their little children,
staggering under an almost unbeara-
BILE burden of distress and grief.
A mass meeting of Calumet citizens
was held this afternoon to express
sympathy and devise ways and means
to ameliorate the suffering and sorrow
of those families on which the hand
of death had fallen. A committee Of
twelve vas appointed to visit each
home and ascertain what financial as
sistance was needed. Funds are as
sured and no outside aid will be
needed.

Rather heavy selling by one of tn

Calumet, Mich, Dec. 26.-There was
dispute over whether the offer of the
citizens alliance, an organization that
has been considered hostile to the
strikers, to defray all the burial ex-
penses would be permitted Officials
of the Western Federation of Miners
declared that the offer would be
spurned.
1--WE will care for our own dead"
was the response to the alliance.
The feeling of hostility was not SO
marked today when it was seen thai
the citizens Of Calumet, and other
cities in the mine district were n
earnest in their efforts to raise funds
for the stricken families. Almost IN
limited amounts of money were
pledged by mine owners and merch-
ants who have been opposing the
strikers.
The committee representing the
operators went from house to house
today comforting the surviving mem
bers of families whose dear ones
were taken from them in the unneces-
sary panic.

l.. Is hoped to learn by actual expert
ence what kind of school is best
adapted to rural life.
The school building is farmhouse,
with rooms fitted up as sitting room"
kitchen, and workshop. A large YER
anda surrounding the house is used
for the midday meal, which is served
by the pupils at the school, and for
other purposes. There is plenty o.
ground about the school, including
space for a large garden.
The garden is the center about which
instruction revolyes. From the study
of soil and seed in the winter time to
the actual planting, cultivating and
harvesting at the other seasons, the
garden remains the center of the chill
dren's interest and activity. Arithme-
tic, spelling, ETC., are taught not as
subjects, but only as the need for
them arises in connection with the ac-
tivities OF home and garden. Laying
out the garden involves arithmetic,
and even geometry, both of which are
absorbed by the children without eff
fort. The making of towels for use at
the school naturally develops new
words having to do with sewing and
many other things. And so on. Words
and numbers are given the children
only as the need for them develops,
and then with, as little formality as
possibility. The whole idea is for the
children to find out things, if possible,
without being told
The children in this rural school are
not assigned to Glasses" and per
RODS" as in the traditional school. A
visitor will see one group working in
the garden, another group on the YER
anda sewing, another in the kitchen at
cooking task, and still another doing
numbers" o reading with the teacher
in her room.
The aim of the Rock Hill school is
thus summarized by Dr. A. P Bour-
| land in an introduction to the bu-
reau's bulletin: "The resolve was to
make school that will train the farm
children for their future work in the
home, on the farm and in the social
life around them. Hence we began
| frankly with the activities of the farm.
The aim was not cut-and-diied plan,
but rather a working idea to enable
the teacher to create a growing agen
cy for the development of farm life

Crisp Bill Still Causing Com
menf

The following editorial, headed "The
Nation and the District" from the
Washington Post, will be of interest to
readers of the Times-Recorder, as 1t
has for it's theme the proposed bill OF
Congressman Crisp, of this district, TO
remedy an evil, by which the states q
the Union are made to bear half the
expense of running the government d
the capitol CITY,:
with its thousands of members
throughout the country, the American
Civic Association can perform a pa
triotic service by explaining to the
people in each congressional district
the real meaning of the half-and-half
system of appriproations that prevails
in the District The association,
through it's president, ]. H. Mcfarland
| of Harrisburg, Pa, intends to ask all
its members to throw the weight of
their influence in each district against
the Crisp measure and other insidi-
Gus attacks" on the welfare of the Dis
trict
an the letter which has been sent
out to the members Of the association,
| it is pointed out that the people of the
country realize that the District, as
the home of the Federal government,
] is the property of all the people; that
the people want this great Capital
faintained, and that the members of
Congress should carry out the public
will Mr.. Mcfarland says that the
proposition of Representative Crisp If
applied to any other city in America
would provoke resistance equivalent
to that which caused the dumping Of
tea into Boston harbor many years
ago.
1T has been announced that the
fight for the adjustment of the half
and-half principal will not be revived
until after the holidays. In the mean
time, the civic association can perform
useful service by educating the
people of the country to an under
standing of the principal involved in
the fight.
Nearly all the people of the country
understand that this city is their Cap
ital. They understand that the city
wos founded as home for the govern
ment; that no manufacturing concerns
were induced to come here to make
this a commercial city; that most Of
the improvements were designed
chiefly tor the benefit Of the govern
ment, and in order that the peopla
might have a Capital in harmony and
proportion with the greatness AMI
wealth of the nation.
The people of the United States
know that the residents Of the Dis
tIict have no vote and no hand in
the election or appointment of Off
cials who govern them What the
people OF the country generally do
not know however Is that the tax rate
here is higher than in most cities OF
the same size; that the most valuable
properties are owned by the govern
ment whose buildings cannot be taxed
for the support of the District govern
Iment and that extensive improvements
are necessary to maintain the dignity
of the District as National Capital,
the people here paying half of the ex-
Ipense of all such improvements.
There is no doubt now that the SEN
timent of the country is in favor Of a
generous attitude toward the District
The civic association can do good work
, lby transplanting that sentiment into q
! movement that will be felt by the
House of Representatives

Between
Ourselves

How much POETRY do you
read?
Stop moment and think how
long it has been since you last
read REAL poem.
Poetry reading is almost lost
art. People do not like poetry
any more. They are too busy
with the PROSE OF LIFE-with
sordid things such as business
and money making.
Someone once said that poetry
is the romance of the SOUL" and
it is true. Poetry reading makes
US more romantic and kinder TO
our fellow men and to OUR
SELVES. 1t makes us dream,
and dreaming is good mental
exercise.
1t is a safe hazard that not
more than one person in fifty
LOVES poetry. And more is the
pity.
Read a short, GOOD poem to-
night-one of Longfellow's or"
Whittier's gentle verses or one of
Lord Tennyson's gems. Do this
and see if it does not make you
feel little more like living.
