Opportunity Is
Always On Job
REV. ALEXANDER kARR FINDS
FAULT WITH DOCTRINES OF
GREAT WRITERS IN SPEECH
At FARGO.

The doctrine that opportunity comes
but once in mans lifetime is false
Poe must have been drunk when he
wrote The Raven" and Shakespeare
rambled when he spoke Of opportunity
knocking but once at mans door,
declared Rev. Alex Karr of Valley City
during the course of his address on
"A Second Chance" at the Y. NJ. C. A.
mems meeting yesterday afternoon.
opportunity refuses to be so de-
fined as coming but once in a life
time said Rev. Kari "We have had
rail splitter, canal tow path boy
and wood chopper for president of
the United States"
Rev. Karr pictured what he referred
to as one of the greatest scenes in
the world, the arrival of immigrants
at Ellis island He said that wnen
immigrants are asked why they have
come to this country they reply that
they want second chance, chance
to begin anew.
There is no such doctrine as being
unlucky, declared the speaker. If a
man slips, he may keep from falling
if he falls, he can get up again and
if he falls a second time he can still
! arise. The Lord has mapped out a
work for each.
Opportunity coming but once is a
doctrine for the pessimist and the
pessimist is one who looks for failure
on all sides.
Rev. Karr named over a long list of
men who have succeeded over OBJ.
.stacles. Some spend too much time
preparing for opportunity, he said, and
opportunity is coming to them every
day.
Everyone should go to college, but
some who 60 never earn or experience
an education. They 60 because their
fathers foot the bills and it is some
place to fill in time.
There is daybreak after darkness
and rainbow after the storm" said
Rev. Kari. ''The second chance Is
every mans savior. Christ is knock.
ing at the hearts of every one. When
He IS refused, He returns"

The value Of different kinds OF bread
has been discussed for many years
and from various points Of view since
the days Sylvester Graham. This tenn
perance reformer OF the early part Of
the nineteenth century based his cure
Of alcoholism on certain radical chang
es in diet, laying special stress on ab-
stinence from meats, and the use OF
bread made from unbolted wheat meal.
Hence the names graham -four" and
graham bread"
Wheat deserves the widespread
consideration which has been given It,
because Of its superior value as a food
It easily ranks first among the food
products at our disposal. although rice
probably forms the staple food for
larger proportion of the human race.
The wheat kernel is made up of
number of parts which experience diff.
ferent treatment in the various mill
ing processes in the preparation of
flour. .
When the grain is crushed the meal
contains coarse particles of bran, the
outer coverings of the seed. Bread
made from such wheat meal will con-
tain all of the nutrients of the origina,
wheat; but the bread will be coarse in
texture, dark in color, and rather
strong in flavor. Graham -four or
wheat meal is usually made from soft
winter wheats. Sitting wheat meal to
remove the coarser particles was the
first step toward the making of white
flour, the use of which has rapidly in
creased with the progress of the
years. The advent Of the later roller
process methods of milling has contin-
ued the essential feature of the earlier
schemes in separating the bran from
the interior of the grain; but it has
materially improved the bread flours
in common use until the standard
flours from hard wheat carry more pro-
tein than almost any graham flour in
the market thirty years ago, and as
much as many now offered for sale.
Newer methods of agriculture have
assisted in increasing the gluten con-
tent OF wheat flour through the alter
ed composition of the newer varieties
of the cereal.
The most reliable experiments
made from the different types of flour
show that standard patent process
flour contains more available nutrition
and energy than either graham or
whole wheat -four These facts have
lately been supplemented by English
statistics. They show that with re-
spect to the availability of their total
energy the breads differ little; with re-
gard to the protein there is slight
advantage on the side of the white
bread. So far as digestibility is con-
cerned, says The Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association, there is no
justification for extreme statements as
to the advantages or disadvantages
possessed by different kinds of bread
OF the commoner types. The crafty
ing fact is that flour of all kinds is an
economical food even at the present
prices.

ART IN K. H. S.

The first year of High school draw
ing is direct continuation of the
grammar school work. The three
branches pursued are object drawing,
nature study and design. The second
leads to the east, for when the pupils
have drawn the object as it appears
in nature they make conventional de-
signs from 1t. At the end of the year
the principles of design are reviewed
and illustrations made.
Drawing is optional after the first
year. The different lines of art that
may be taken up are general drawing,
which is like the first years work,
dress design and commercial drawing.
The work in commercial drawing con-
sists of printing and jewelry designs.
Besides these regular courses there is
an arts and crafts class. The pupils
in this class make their own designs,
cut the stencils, some in stencil paper,
others in wood. and paint them on
the cloth. Others make designs on
leather.
One of the important branches Is
the normal drawing. The pupils who
intend to take up teaching take this
in their senior year. The course in
cIudes a general review of the grade
work and paper-folding and cutting.

EXHIBITION OF WORK IN
KEARNY HIGH SCHOOL

A very interesting exhibition of
drawing, sewing. cooking and manual
training of the Kearny public schools
was shown in the Kearny library last
week
The lower primary grades showed
great skill and ingenuity in their
drawing and free cutting. Their COM
posite cutting work, in which differ
ent pupils cut the various parts. rep
resented stories and events, no doubt,
told to the children by the teacher.
The higher class showed some re-
markable work in sewing and bask-
etry. The girls made very servicea-
BILE aprons, sacks and other gar
ments, and the boys wove baskets,
picture frames and boxes with raffia,
and caned several chair seats very
neatly. The feature of this depart
ment was a large dollhouse made by
the boys of the fifth grade. The house
was completely furnished, the boys
constructing the miniature furniture,
and the girls making the bedding
table linen and designing the wall
paper and rugs.
The eighth grade boys cut numerous
designs out of wood and made the
mould and made the castings with
babbit metal after which the castings
were electroplnted by use of the
gravity cell and copper sulphate
bath. The designs on these We're all
original and the castings serviceable.
The girls in this class studied cook
cry, and exhibited several of their
cakes, pies, meats and vegetables
which they made in class. Beside
each dish was the cost of making
the food for four people
The work of the High School
showed great Improvement over all
former years. The boys in the manual
training department exhibited chairs,
tables desks and boolSracks, which
they had designed, constructed and
stained in their classwork. One of
the boys exhibited his wireless apra-
ratus, which was well made, and had
received messages over 1000 miles
Under favorable conditions. The High
School girls set a very dainty break
fast table for four people with the
food which they prepared in class
The girls in the art department did
some very pretty stenoiling and de-
signing. Tho costume designing was
not only beautiful and original, bur
49, very practical.

TS HE activities Of the Senior Glass
have been for the purpose of
obtaining funds for a trip to
Washington. as well as for giving
pleasure.
During the last two semesters the
class have done much in forwarding
its plans In 1912 the girls took adj
vantage of the year and gave a leap
year dance. and. judging by the at
tendance that evening. it was much
appreciated A vaudeville was pre-
sented in the latter part of the year.
As a climax to the enjoyment of the
entertainment there was a minstrel
by FIVE boys" who reveled in the
fun as much as the audience. The
final social event of last term, given
by our Senior Glass, was a whist
party held at private residence.
The beginning of this term was
marked by the production of q play
in three acts. entitled, THE Sophie
more" 1t was enacted to large au-
diencs and was very successful.
The Junior class have been very
successful in their social life. They
have to work hard because they rea :
lie that it will take considerable
money to pay for their Washington
trip and the junior reception.
In the beginning of the leap year
the class gave a leap year dance. at
which all the bashful boys were
given the time of their lives. During
1913 they rendered very successfully
a sketch. Cupid in Politics. which
was written by one of the members
of the class, and minstrel show
which would have done credit to any
Kentucky company.
The junior reception was their
browning event. The hall was very
artistically decorated with the colors

Basketball.
IN HE basketball season just passed
was the most successful one in
the history of Kearny High
School. Kearny losing only eight in
a schedule of twenty games.
Our team was much lighter than
most of those of our opponents. but
team work and speed, developed un-
der the careful coaching of Mr..
Finck, made up for our underweight.
The team consisted of Roberts. Fair
service and Carpenter. forwards;
Ross. centre. Edwards and Best,
guards. The second team was one Of
the fastest in the vicinity, losing only
Ave in a schedule of twenty-two
games The prospects for a fast team
next year are very bright
The girls Of Kearny High School
made a very creditable showing for
their first season on the court.
Baseball.
The baseball team of Kearny is one
of the best ever turned out. The
schedule for this season is large. and
1t includes most of the high schools
around Newark East side and Cen
trail High schools were the only large
schools in Newark to play Kearny.
Both East Side and Central won out
on errors. In Louis Baker, Kearny
has one of the best schoolboy play
ers in the State. All the defeats reg
istered against him were due to the
errors of his teammates. Baker Is
also the best batter and the fastest
man on the team. Schumacher and

Perhaps you know her name.
We have one strong and trusty guard
The folks all think her fine;
To beat her others found it hard,
Her name is Lillian Klein.
One of our forwards. let me say,
Is very fond of dancing,
And when the ball is packed away
On the tennis court is prancing.
Our second centre does good work,
Her name | need not tell;
We always know she will not shirk,
We depend upon Adele.
We have another guard. you know
An easy one to coach;
She never is the least bit slow,

OF her it may be said
She's always there to take her stand,

MANUAL TRAINING SYSTEM

m EFORE entering upon detailed
II description of the methods used
~ in the High School I will de-
scribe the preliminary training which
Is acquired in the primary schools.
The work which has direct bear
ing on the future High School work
is first taught in the 5A grade, where
the pupils design toy furniture, after
which they construct 1t with the
use only of coping saw and knife.
In the 6B grade the pupils receive
their first taste of shop work and
here they incorporate their elemen-
tary shop training in the design and
execution of mechanical toys. In the
ga grade the instruction in foundry
methods and practise rather relieves
the monotony of the first year and a
half of Woodworking. In this grade
the pupils are taken by the in
structor to some foundry. where the
methods are seen in practical APP
plication. The pupils then write es-
says on what they have observed
and learned. Now they are ready for
the real work, and here they show
great ingenuity in designing, cary
ing, casting, finishing and electro
plating their models When they are
in the seventh grade they are taught
the value and applications of diff
ferent building materials and apply
their knowledge in practical concrete
construction. the favorite model be-
ing a concrete flower pot with some
design which is original with the pu-
pill.
AS the pupil finally reaches the
eighth grade he is taught cabinet
construction individual and class
problems being made through the
term. The latter method teaches the
value of extreme accuracy. for each
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-06-11

pupil does some particular part OF
the model, and in the assembly each
part must fit properly together. The
work of all these grades is under the
direction of Mr.. Harry I. Westervelt,
a man who has had twelve years Of
practical foundry experience. For
the coming term an electrical course
has been added to the eighth grade
work.
The pupils are now in position to
continue their course in the high
school and here in their first term
they are given individual models,
each of which embodies some i'm
portant principle of design or con-
struction. The following years In
high school. if the pupils wish to
continue the course, are spent in max
ing some large model which they
themselves design. Mr. Corcoran, who
is supervisor of the manual training
branch, takes charge of the high
school work personally and by Civ
ing at various times talks of his own
varied experiences conveys to the
pupil an idea of the real value and
purpose of this work. Mr.. Corcoran,
who also has charge of the mechani-
cal drawing department. tries 20
have pupils take both subjects AZ
one time, so that the value of draw
ing and general draughting roon
methods and shop standards may be
seen to be closely related.
From the above one can readily
see that if the pupil has at all ap-
piled himself, he on leaving high
school takes with him something
more than merely the book knowledge
which he generally regards with more
or less dislike.
