EDUCATIONAL SPECIALIST
SAYS CHURCH MUST EXPAND

Last Sunday at Ingram Memorial
Church DIR. Milton S. Littlefield
church school expert. of New York
City. gave two inspiring addresses.
On Sunday morning he spoke on THE
Educational Evangel" In the after
noon he held A conference with the
teachers and officers of the school on
church school problems. DR.. Littlefield
advocated following the methods of
the day schools as means of promot-
ing interest and efficiency. He said
that the academic year of the Sunday
school should be nine months, and that
summer schools be instituted. Yearly
exhibits of manual work done, to-
gether with regular promotion and
graduation days. should be held.
The night services were divided be-
tween the pastor, DR.. J. w. Frizzell.
and DIR. Littlefield. DIR. Frizzen spoke
on THE Educational Opportunity of
the Modern Church He stated that the
educational work conducted by the State
and church must be largely extended
TO include vocational work.
Both state schools and the church
should make more use of the social i'm
pulse. The companionships that people
make influence them more than the
study of mathematics and Latin roots.
intellect. rather than to the emotions
The exception to this is athletics. which
now hold such a large place in the
higher institutions of learning. The
modern church should give the people
the advantage of the best in everything
Lectures should be given on food. sani-
tation. physical culture, amusements.
art, literature, &c.
The church also should educate the
people in civic and patriotic affairs and
world policies
None of these lines, however. should
replace spiritual things. but should all
be interpreted in terms of spiritual value.
Dr. Littlefield specialized on The
Educational Opportunity of the Church
School" 1t should teach people obedi-
ence to law. to direct themselves. altru-
ism, and TO be constructors and builders

or green manure together with bone
phosphate and lime in some cases and
copious watering during the dry seasons.
The sandy loan soils make very good
lawns when well drained and well sup
piled with organic matter.
Since the lawn is intended to be a per-
manent feature of the decoration of the
place its endurance or span OF life is Of
utmost Importance. In general. grass
seeds are small, and the surface seed
bed for the reception OF these seeds need
not be more than one inch in depth: but
since the grasses as they become estab-
lished send out long lateral feeding roots.
1t is necessary that the soil area avail
able for these plants should be as great
as possible. This object can only be
obtained by deep cultivation and thor
ough preparation of at least eight or ten
inches of the surface soil. The soil to
this depth should be made rich and put
into an ideal condition for the develop
ment of plant roots.
Soil Must BE Rich.

ture. it is hardly possible to make the

1t has a very marked influence on the
kind Of grass or combination of grasses
and clovers best suited to the soil; on
its ability to hold sufficient moisture to
carry the grass through a prolonged
drought; on the ease of establishing good
natural drainage: on the account OF
aeration. and on other requirements.
Clay Soil the Best.
The clay soil usually makes very strong
lawn soils, giving a dense sod. The clay
loan soils. when well drained and care
fully handled. are well suited for the es-
tablishment of an excellent greensward.
The silt loan soils are ideally adapted
to lawn-making. but they must have good
drainage and be literally supplied with
organic matter. The loan soils. when
they have good drainage and contain
sufficient organic matter, will maintain
good lawns. The coarse sandy soils are
unsuitable for lawn purposes, although
certain grasses will grow upon them. A
fair lawn may be established on soils
of the fine sandy type by paying espe-
cial attention to the preparation Of the
soil and by the introduction Of manure

Soil Should Be Kept Free
of Debris of All Kinds,
and Should Be at Least
Eight Inches Deep and
Kept Rich.

This season Of the year when the resi-
dents Of the cities and suburbs are look

1t is well to examine the soil to a depth
Of from twelve TO twenty-four inches to

The Bureau of Soils. United States De-
partment OF Agriculture, says in a far
mers' bulletin that the reason that grass
does not thrive well on the average city
lawn is that the majority Of them have
a filler of this kind of rubbish and OF
course grass will not grow on such in
fertile material.

the girls do gardening, house cleaning
and sewing. The boys come more direct
ly under the eye of the man of the house
and care for the small farm, the stock
yards and garden and do in addition
certain amount of farm carpentry These
are all made real lessons just as much
as the blackboard exercises in the class
room. We call it "the model school,"
not meaning that it is a model to any
other school, but that everything in it
and about it is a model to the girls and
boys who are in attendance.
All this serves a double purpose. It
fits the child for life in the community
where he lives and it affords material
to give life to the exercises in his text
books. The boy not only constructs a
fence. but he figures out the cost-cost Of
nails, hammer. time-which makes a live
exercise in arithmetic. For his grammar
lesson he uses nouns and verbs from his
fence and writes short compositions on
his work.
The same is true Of the girl in her
cooking, bed-making. and table setting
The work is done and then used as
basis for the lessons in books. This gives
life to the classroom work. Both teachers
and children feel that they are writing,
talking and figuring on actual things,
which always lends enthusiasm to the
work.
Parents Themselves Help.
To make the school more real We fire.
quently invite the parents to be present.
They are made to feel that the school is
the center for their activities. Moreover,
they become interested in themselves. be-
cause the children in learning suseful
things are doing work that their parents
can understand. They go home with in
formation about cotton. corn, winter
greens: about the care of live stock and
of soils. They gain some idea about
washing dishes. setting the table. and
putting a room in order.
The effect has been highly gratifying.
A new light has come into the commu-
nifty, which shows in the face of many
of those old hard-headed black folk,
who used to be none too enthusiastic
about education. The change is a pro-
cess. OF course, but there are fewer rags
in the windows in that community, few
er toppling-down fences. This training
has taken nothing from the book side"
of these children's education. Their
teaching is thorough and they complete
the sixth grade, being admitted by GER
tificate to the corresponding class in Tus-
kegee Institute-and some, preferring to
take the written test. have made the
next higher class With this double train
ing the children of this community are
brighter and happier and are doing much
to add sweetness and ,contentment to
rural life.

room. the kitchen, the bedroom are all

shown how to clean and keep them, ac-

certain grade take turns in doing the
cooking. They leave home in time to pre-

Missionary leaders have in hand just
now the most comprehensive plans they
have ever put forth. These leaders are
both Protestant and Catholic. and the
former are cooperating in larger meas
ure than ever before. The plans have
two parts. the former intended to carry
forward work while the latter is being
perfected The earlier plan contemplates
a simultaneous canvass for money. The
dates that will probably be fixed upon
are March and April, 1914. and it is
certain that all forms of missions. local,

emphasis The unity of action and EN-
phasis has never been seen in America
Australia and Canada, in which coun-
tries a good many experiments in mill
tant Christianity have recently been sue

The second part of the missionary plan
is the organization of laymen by cities,
who shall be charged with missionary
responsibility, not for money only, but
for men; men for mission fields and for
the ministry at home. When organized
and trained, it is reckoned that these
