STUDYING DENMARK's SCHOOLS

Folk high schools" that really
 reach the people who support them;
 special agricultural schools for small
 landholders; eleven-day courses for
 grown-ups who wish to keep in touch
 with new things in their particular
 line of work; these some of the
 fea lures of the Danish system of ru-
 ral education noted by Harold W
 Foght, of the United States Bureau
 oe Education MT. F'oght accompa-
 and L. L. Friend, of West Virginia, Is
 now in Denmark Investigating the re-
 markadbIe rural development in that
 country.
 The American educators have been
 particularly impressed with the elev-
 en-day courses for adults provided by the Danish schools. New courses open on the first and third Tuesdays of ev- cry month throughout the twelve months of the year Husbands and wives frequently attend these courses l together. The schools for small hold 1 CTS (1usnaandsskoIer) appeal to a more
 restricted class; they offer a good six | months course in Horticulture and
 other subjects for the sons and daugh- l ters of people having the smallest farms.
 1 MT Foght and his colleagues have
 already visited typical folk high | schools at Lyngby, Roskilde, Valle- | kIlde, Fredriksborg and Haslev; agr1- cultural schools at Lyngby, Tune,
 Rirgsted, and Haslev; and number 1 of one, two and three teacher schools | in the open country. Everywhere they report government and local author1- | ties keenly interested in their visit
 an.l anxious to extend every help and | courtesy Before the America ns start
 for home they expect to examine rural | high schools in all parts of Denmark, with a view of ascertaining the inhu- | ence of these schools on Danish coun- l try life, and the possible lessons that may be learned from them for the ru- raI problem in the United States. Mir Foght's f1rst-hand study of Den mark is part of a comprehensive m
 vestigation of rural schools which the Bureau of Education Is making.
 Three other field specialists are at work: J. C. Muerman, formerly Of the Philippine Service. who is 6pow studying the rura1-school problem in the Northwest, with headquarters at
 Salem, Oregon: J. D. Eggleston, for merly State superintendent of schools in Virginia, who Is contributing to the problem from the point of view Of the South, where it is an especially press ing one: and A. c. Monahan, of Mas sachusetts, who gives special atten- ton to the northern and eastern sec lions Commissioner Claxton hopes In this way to bring together a body of fundamental facts about rural educa- ton that will aid immensely in the task Of betterment.

When you're up against a trouble Meet it sQuarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders Plant your feet and take a brace When it's vain to try to dodge it, Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer. See it throughI Black may be the clouds about you And your future may seem grim. But don't let your nerve desert you, Keep yourself in fighting trim. If the worst is going to happen, Spite of all that you can do, Running from it will not save you, See it through! Even hope may seem but futile, When with troubles you're beset, But remember you are facing Just what other men have met. You may fall, but fall still fighting, Don't give up, whate'er you do, Eyes front, head high to the finish. See it through!

ACCUSE KRUPPER OF
 ATTACKING GERMANY

JsInoo eQ4 SuIInd-6I IIIdV uIII7d
 of the debate in the Reichstag yester- day on the army appropriation bill o1 $26O, ,OOO 900 Dr. Lebknecht made an amazing statement to the effect that he had learned some weeks ago tha: the Krupp works and Deutsche Waf- fen F-abriken have been resorting to illicit methods to induce French news papers to arouse an anti-German sen
 timent in France, with the object of creating an atmosphere which would facilitate the increase of armaments. Germany, he added, soon as it had received this information communlcat- ed it to Herr Von Heeringen, the Sec retary of War, who promised to make
 a thorough and immediate inVest1Sa- ton.
 Herr Heeringen, said pr. LdebkneOtaE-
 had done his duty and the investiga-
 tion had verified the truth of the
 story. Several eminent persons" at
 Essen have been arrested and were held pending the result of further In quiry.
 Dr. Liebknecht also said that the Krupps until recently had maintained an agent in Berlin, whose business it was to bribe officials of the War Off, flee and the Admiralty to obtain se-
 cret documents and enable them to an ticipate competition by other firms. Secretary won Heeringen said that pr. Liebknechts statements graVely exaggerated the facts. The facts were
 that a subordinate official of the Krupps had caused several non-con- uissfoned officers and an official to communicate several documents.

HEALTH OF CHILDREN
 IN COUNTRY SCHOOLS

That 80 per cent. of the children in country schools drink tea and coffee; that 40 per cent. of them suffer from almost constant toothache: and that 19 to 23 per cent have frequent head aches; these are some of the surpris- ing facts brought out by pr. Ernest B. Hoag, of Minnesota, in a personal visitation of the rural schools Of that State, according to information re- Ce;ved at the United States Bureau of Education.
 To find exactly what health condi- tions in the Minnesota rural schools are. Dr. Hoag asks the simplest kind of questions, with astonishing results. When I ask those who drink coffee to stand up,' says Dr. Hoag, nearly all the children arise. When I ask how many have a toothbrush, nearly all say they have, but when I ask, Did you use it this morntng?' there is little response."
 Many of the children assumed that headache, earache, and other ailments were perfectly natural things, and seemed surprised that anybody should be curious about them. Why, I al- ways have headache,'' they would say Dr. Foag found that by simple ques- tions about the children's eyesight, the teacher, without any optical tests at all, would discover that 20 per cent. of her children suffer from eye strain.
 From 12 to If per cent. of the coun- try school children suffer from ear ache, and 4 per cent. have discharg- ing ears. "Adenoids, earache, dis charging ears, deafness; that's the or der we find over and over again. g says pr. Hoag. -Four or five per cent of the children simply do not hear what is going on and are there fore put down as stupid when they are not.'
 The commonest principles of hygiene are frequently neglected. In one school visited by Dr. Hoag an oId-fashioned unjacketed stove had sent the ther- mometer to the sizzling height Of 90 degrees, while it was 10 below zero out-of-doors, difference of 100 de- grees. The children in the country are generally plentifu1Iy fed, Dr. Hoag finds, but they do not eat the right kind of food. People in the country do not breathe pure air, because, with abundanc of 1t all about them, they by keeping the windows tightly closed These are some of the things that have caused the country to lose it's reputation for good health as compared with the city.
 In order to remedy conditions, thor ough medical inspection IS desirable where it can be had, but much can be done by the teacher herself without any elaborate medical methods, ac- cording to Dr. Hoag. Teachers in the Minnesota schools are provided with a health survey containing simple but fundamental questions about health, by means of which tbey keep informed as to the condition of the children intrusted to their charge and are able to point the way to healthful living.
