wealthy Scout Learns to Work

The problem OF earning the dollar
required for the second class examina-
I'tions for the Boy Scouts of America,
is often more difficult for the boys of
wealthy parents than for poorer
boy The wealthy boy seldom has
great resoIrcefulness and is all too
apt to get the money from his parents
without really earning It himself.

says: ~ boy from wealthy home de-

five cents an hour. and that right near

Some time later the boys father
asked me how had been able to get
him TO do it, He said that the fact
that his son had really earned the
money was worth thousands of dollars
to him, for the boy had been entirely
Indifferent to his own ignorance and
inability, and this had opened his eyes

Hunting Season Over.


The closed season for waterfowl and
cartridges in Wisconsin began on Dec.
LIST. under the new state and federal
law Tor the protection of migratory
birds. The only wild animals that can
be lawfully hunted after Nov 30, in
Wisconsin are rabbits, squirrels and
other fur bearing animals.
State Game Warden Sholts received
reports from deputy game wardens in
the northern part of the state showing
that Is, 600 deer were killed during the
open season. OF the number killed,
about 5000 have been, or will be,
transported on trains. The total num-
Der killed is little lager than that of
last season.
Since the opening Of the hunting sea-
son in September, It is stated that
thirty-four people have been killed and
thirty-tw injured by hunters, nearly
a score of deaths occurring during the
deer season.

Pleads for More Practical Studies

The Tribune can put the O. X. stamp
on the following taken from Milwau-
kee paper dated the 18th inst:
DR.. Warren b. Hill, speaking before
the Parents-T Teachers association of the
Washington High school Friday night
pleaded for vocational training, which,
he said, did not mean trade school
education, but an education that gave
the graduate foundation for any line
he might take up. He arraigned the
present high school system as relic
of one of the acknowledged mistakes
of the German system, which was train
ing for university instead of for life.
1.-THE old idea of German parents was
to give the boy or girl an education so
that he or she would not have to work I"
he said. "Now the idea is to give them
an education so that they will be better
and more intelligent workmen That
is the present status of affairs and the
whole curriculum and system should be
changed so that the boy and girl will
not be a barnacle upon the face of the
4 earth
IF we are to retain our place at the
4 head of nations we must be a nation of
Industrious people and not a nation of
drones. 1t is not proposed to prepare
boys to handle the pick, to be black
smith or any other kind of tradesman,
but to develop them so that they will
be safe beginners in any business.
Language is the road to understand
ing and every pupil should know at
least one language before he leaves
school. In America, of course, that
language should be English. But he
does not learn that in the high school.
''The pupil is not taught to reason
to concentrate his mind on a thing and
keep it there until he has reached a
conclusion. That is function of arith-
metic, but arithmetic is not taught in
school any more. The old intellectual
system of the studying mathematics,
the mental arithmetic. is gone. Seven
ty-five per cent of high school gradu-
ates could not pass an examination in
Robinson mental arithmetic that we
older persons studied as children.
Mr.. Hill also pleaded for plainness in
dress among high school students.
why, we have girls who come to this
school wearing diamond rings and gowns
that are real creations. This is the
parents fault. 1t would be refreshing
to see girls come to school in plain
blouses and the other regulations of
dress.

Lest You Forget.

"You have been busy planning
To spread your gifts afar,
To add your fair loye-tokens
Where joys and comforts are.
But have you in your gladness
Bestowed one kindly thought
On those who sit in darkness
Whose crusts are dearly bought ?
Your heart is full of kindness,
You hear the anthems sung
And gaze up at the windows
Where ribboned wreaths are hung;
You've heard the sweet old story
With reverence retold %
But there are hungry children
Where all is dark and cold.
Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who is blind;
Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks the world unkind;
Go down among the victims
OF chance and greed and crime
And cause them to remember
That this is Christmas time.

been greatly inconvenienced. No
trains were run into the city on
either the Panhandle, Cincinnati
Northern or D. & U. since Mon
day afternoon, while no cars
were operated on the Ohio Elec-
trio Railway since Monday night,
and on all of these roads there are
serious washouts, besides having
their tracks covered by from
three to six feet of water. A
serious accident, with the possi-
BILE loss of nine lives, occurred
on the Panhandle railroad be-
tween 8 and a o'clock Tuesday
morning, when a wreck train,
going to the assistance of trains
west of town, was thrown into
the raging stream at a. small
bridge east of town about 81
miles, at what is known as Walk
er's Grove, and not far from
Bears mill. This train carried
a crew nf twenty workmen, be-
sides the engineer, fireman, con-
ductor, and extra road master,
Jacob Henderson, sent out from
Bradford. The engine and three
cars passed safely over the cul-
vert, but the balance were plum
ged into the waters. Six of the
men were rescued and brought
on the engine to the depot in
this city about a o'clock Tuesday
and given medical at
tention, their wounds being most
ly about their heads, while one
a broken arm. Five
of them, who were thrown into
the water, succeeded in getting
hold of a tree, where they were
thrashed about in the water un-
til rescued about 10 O'Clock Tues
day morning-two of them being
brought to this city and three
taken to Bradford. Nine men
were missing up to Tuesday af-
ternocn late, among them being
Road Master Henderson, and it
is supposed they have met death
by drowning, being caught in
the caboose and a box-car like
rats in a trap. The residences
of Mr.. Shocky and Mr.. Hecka-
thorn, on North Vine street, a.
cross Mud creek, were both sur
rounded by water Tuesday and it
had reached to within an inch of
the first floor of each dwelling,
while there was no getting in or
