NEW YEARS DAY!

New Years Is a unique holiday, says
John A. Sleicher. in Leslie's Weekly.
1t is unlike any other. It mingles a
funeral and a festival. We ring out
the old and We ring In the new.
We bid farewell to the decrepit old
man with scythe and we shake hands
with the husky chap. rosy of cheek
strong of limb, fresh in the fullness of
hope and ambition. who comes to make
his bow and present his credentials as
The New Year.
We say goodbye" to the old year
with all it's memories and welcome the
new with all its aspirations. The old
reminds us Of pleasant hours, painful
lessons. gains and losses, lights and
shades. and thus it marks another mile
stone in life.
The new year reminds us that life's
journey must have an end and that the
end Is nearer than before. 1t is q time
for sober reflection and new resolutions.
1t Is the day that brings the children
back to the old homestead to greet the
white-haired father and bless the hap
Ply mother. Even the returning prodi-
gal Is sure of a welcome on New Years
day.
So let it be festival of renewed af-
lection, forgiveness and peace-a good
day on which to set aside the little ami
mosities. envies and jealousies that
mar the daily life
Resolve in the new year to live on
higher ground in a more healthful and
happier atmosphere, rejoicing in the
good fortune of others even If it be
denied to ourselves realizing that while
some must win and some must lose
| and some must rise while others fall
all must suffer. in the end, who sin.
Make this the happiest Of all New
Years by believing sincerely in the fel-
iowship OF men. the virtue of women
and the goodness of God.

A. FARM HOUSE SCHOOL.

Complete freedom from restraint is
the lot OF the children who attend the
experimental rural school at Winthrop
college, Rock Hin. 8. c., as described
by Mrs. Hetty Browne in a bulletin Of
the United States bureau of education.
There are no seats or desks in this
school: no class rooms: no rule OF ST.
lence: but a free activity guided and
directed by a woman who IL In COM
plete sympathy with country children
and country life.
In this and other respects observers
tessori schools, but Mrs Browne began
her work several years ago quite inde-
pendently Of the theories Of Madame
Montessori. Furthermore. the Rock
Hill school makes no claim to DELHI
crate scientific basis: 1t in essentially
an Experimental school. where 1t il
hoped to learn by actual experience
what kind Of a school is best adapted
to rural life.
The school building IL a farmhouse,
with rooms fitted up as sitting room"
kitchen and workshop. A large veranda
surrounding the house is used for the
midday meal, which Is served by the
pupils at the school. and for other pur-
poses. There is plenty Of ground about
the school, including space for a large
garden.
The garden Is the center about which
instruction revolves. 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 not taught 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 abb
sorbed by the children without effort.
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 possible.
The whole idea is for the children to
find out things. If possible, without be-
ing told.
not assigned to "classes' and periods"
as in the traditional school. A visitor
will see one group working in the gar
den. another group on the veranda
sewing, another in the kitchen at
cooking task, and still another doing
numbers or 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 bureaus
bulletin: 1.-The resolve was to make a
school that will train the farm chill
dren for their future work in the home.
on the farm. and in the social life
around them. Hence we began frank
ly with the activities Of the farm. The
aim was not a cut-and- dried plan. but
rather a working idea to enable the
teacher to create a growing agency for
the development Of farm life."
