to most people is this apparent disre-
gard Of books. But, think now, where

Not so. Why go to a book for the
everyday things we can better learn
without it? Yet by occupations and
conversation, the child learns all that
necessary fundamental knowledge such
as weights and measures and counting
and computing, and is surprisingly
proficient at an early age.
Neither does this mean that only
material things are dealt with, and
that all the riches of history and
poetry are kept from the child. Story
telling Is a feature Of this school, and
the children are made eager for the
knowledge contained in books, instead
Of having the books forced on them
until their contents are abhorred.
The objection to the children learn
ing to read before about the age Of
ten is that 1t puts too much strain on

twelve cars, Summerdale, seven, Rob

Planting Sweet "Taters."
Mr.. Lister states that the ground
which has been used for cucumbers,
is being turned into sweet potato fields
for the purpose Of raising a later crop
than those which are coming into the
market at the present time. He states
that at present the early sweet pota-
toes are going on the market at good
prices. One of the farmers societies
has contracted their crop at $3.50 on
the track and 1t is reported that an
other has secured a contract for fifty
cars at $3.50 per hamper. The pota-
toes are reported in excellent condi-
ton but it is found that not great
many farmers are digging. The yields
of those that are digging at present
are from 100 to 175 bushels to the acre
for the white potato and $50 bushels
for the yellow.

We will do nothing that we know him

the other hand, we will do all we can
to help. So tables and chairs are
used, and removed at will. Desks are

younger classes, above the kindergar-
ten, are called life classes. The rea-
son is obvious. And why have such
long hours at school, when the home
has so much to give the child? So
five hours is the longest time spent in
the school.

To cover the farming news of South
Baldwin county in one short article is
rather presumptuous but here goes.
When I arrived here in the fall Of
1907, which was the year after the
Foley branch of the L. & N. was COM
pleted, this was as near Lonesome
hurst as one could get without being
marooned on deserted sea island.
Three or four trails leading into the
would be-town were the only evidence
that led one to believe that either this
plac or the surrounding country was
inhabited. AS a matter Of fact the
town proper consisted of a postoff1ce
and small general store, another gen.
eral store just completed across the
tracks, blacksmith shop and the sec
ton houses, and in the country were
Ave or six farmers scattered over a
wide range while over near Magnolia
Springs to the west were a few more
families and around alberta to the
east were some more, all struggling
to get out some stumps and in some
crops to see if things would really
grow. From such beginning to hum

Nearly every crop in the temperate

some instances even mansions rea

Three New Railroads.
Perhaps the best indicator OF the
county's material well being is shown
In the fact that besides the L. and n.
which has for several years travsrsed
the county north and south from BAY
Minette TO Foley, there are three new
railroads projected TO cross the ooun-
ty east and west. The Pensacola, Mo
bile and New Orleans railroad, which
Is well under way and nearing com
pletion, crossing from Muscogee
through Loxley and TO Park City; the
Peoples railroad projected to run from
Fairhope through Silver Hill to Rob
ertsdale, and the Mobile and Baldwin
County railroad which will enter at
Volanta and cross via Magnolia
Springs, Foley, liberia and Lillian.

edge attainable; and also by giving a
wider social life-an early association
with his peers which the home cannot
furnish.
An Important Point.
Another point about the freedom
that is SO much misrepresented or
misunderstood: While there are doubt
less cases Of minor misconduct at
times. the school as a whole is as per-
feet in discipline as the school where
discipline is enforced with a strong
hand. The children are free to move
about in a reasonable manner, but
early understand that they are not
free to disturb others. But repress-
ing themselves is very different from
being suppressed by an iron hand OF
outer force.
And the freedom of Judgment al
lowed Is a beautiful thing to see after
experiencing the suppression so long
extant in home and school.
In the manual training work the
children are not permitted to misuse
or abuse an instrument. I think they
had no inclination to do so, for they
were allowed to use them-to do things
with them, and so respected their
qualities. And any wear that came
from use was a matter Of course, not
matter Of discipline. And just as
soon as a child can handle enough
simple tools he begins to make some
thing of his own choice. No one tells
him what he must make and he is al
lowed to keep his completed product.
In all constructive work in the school
the child is made dependent on his
own Judgment after the teacher has
given him the necessary instruction.
Most Of the failures in life are per-
haps due to the too long continued
training Of children to depend on other
peoples Judgment, at least in the minor
matters that he early begins to feel
capable Of deciding for himself. It is
too often only the combative, stub
born youngster, who is at last able
to assert himself, and he is apt to be
hardened in spirit by the unnecessary
while the child who Is
easily led, is still easily led when he
reaches maturity.
Some Intimate Facts.
The school has been I'm existence five
years and some Of the pupils show
much promise, and they are devoted to
the school. Some pupils who have
and entered school elsewhere
were found to be in advance OF their
grade. 80 the experiment seems 10 De

Permanent Pastures.
Since II has been ascertatned that
good permanent pastures can be had

a marked tendency toward dairying

dramatization, beginning at the kin
dergarten and continuing in some form
in connection with the usual studies
on through the high school, connects
the school with the home in a way
that is a great advantage to the child,
in giving him the right conception Of
the oneness of life. AS the school has
limited appliances, these courses are
given in a simple but effective way,
as the work is thus made thoroughly
practical.
There are no examinations for pro-
motion. Examinations for other rea-
son there may be, either with or with
out books.
A child Is put in the class with his
proper mates, and is given the privi
lege of working and learning. And he
takes 1t just as eagerly, you may be
sure, as the child in the school where
he Is constant fear of failing, afraid Of
censure, or perhaps worse, working
for praise or high grades, instead Of
delighting in the joy of knowing and
doing. Do you see how the child is
helped, physically, mentally and spir-
itually by the absence of this one
thing, examination for promotion?
Children are given every incentive to
learn except fear. Do you see what

things. Thus the school with its
special equipment supplements the
home by making many sorts Of knowi-
