REAL FIRE CHIEF
Finds Blaze on Judge Neville's
Roof and Has 1t Put Out.

Pass Christian, Miss, Dec. 26.-
President Wilson tonight found him
self the hero of the Gulf Coast Word

full eye of the Chief Executive had
spied blaze that threatened to de-
stroy one of the handsome homes
on the Southern shore and that he
Lad acted the volunteer fire chief in
n manner that long will be remem-
bered in this region.
The President was returning from
a quiet game of golf toward noon
and on passing through Gulfport,
eight miles from here, saw blaze on
a roof of big house. 1t was the
home of Judge j. II. Neville, who
won fame in 1891 by prosecuting
John l.. SULTAN for a prize fight at
Richburg, :. with Jake Kilrain.
Mrs. Neville, no was alone in the
building, had run to the window to
watch the President go by when sud-
denly two machines stopped and the
President himself alighted. Quick
as flash he darted up the front steps
followed by his physician, Dr. Gray
son, the secret service men and
chaufieurs, who had unstrapped the
fire extinguishers from their ma
chimes and awaited the President s

FINDS WAY TO FIRE.
Don't be alarmed" said the Pres
ident cody, your house is afire but
these men will put 1t out quickly If
you will show them the way to the
attic"
Mrs. Neville pointed the way up
stairs and Robinson and Fredericks,
the Chauffeurs, broke a window and
oil w To oc
Sloan and Jack Wheeler, the secret
service guards, tore away the shingles
and helped fight the flames. Mrs.
Neville did not know how to treat
her unexpected, distinguished guest,
who urged her to keep calm.
will you come into the parlor?"
she asked.
"No thanks" replied the President,
"but you might let me get a bucket
OF water" Mrs. Neville fastened to
comply, but just then the fire fighters
on the roof had descended with the
report that little damage had been
done and that the blaze was out.
"Well DONE" said the President
and the entire party left the house
for the automobiles. The local fire
department was just arriving with
hook and ladder and other apparatus.
"The fires over" announced the
President and added with proud
smile, my men have just put 1t out"
Judge Neville and his son came
running up at that moment and big
crowd collected. The judge was pro-
fuse in his thu and spoke ap-
preciatively or the Presidents
thoughtful concern for Mrs. Neville
ENJOYS WARM SUNSHINE.
The President took no motor ride
in the afternoon, resting after his
exertion at golf. He enjoyed the
change in the temperature and was
enthusiastic about the links, which lie
along the shore of the Gulf of Mexico
and were warmed today by balmy
sunshine instead OF being swept by
chilly winds like those Of Christmas
Day.
The President dictated a few let.
ters and read scores of kilograms that
poured in today as they have been
for the last few days, congratulatine
him on the enactment of the cur
rency bill. He took a nap during the
afternoon and again spent the even
ing with his family.

torks hard all day and he has to wait

know. In town he doesn't have to
get up until 6 O'Clock anyway, and at
six at night his work is done. Sun
days he can dress up all day and
spend what he has worked a week to

that if he is sick a day or week his

The Express, commenting on the
above adds:
| HIJnw has tho country how como tn
get such a distorted vision? Simply
because he hasn't been trained to see
anything better in country life. He
has seen his father and mother slave
their lives away and not have very
much to show for it as they near the
end, and in his eager desire to receive
the steady pay envelope of the mer-
chant or manufacturer, he fails to
catch the larger vision or to realize
that the country offers a better oppor-
tunity for an Independent living than
the city. The individual rural school
is an expensive proposition because 1t
does not educate the child for coun-
try life, and so he goes to the city
and the farms are thereby improver-
ished and the cities overcrowded with
people, many of whom are incapable
of making a living for themselves.
The community must educate the
youth toward the farm. Every COM
munity school should have at least
five acres of land in connection with
it, and as many more as its numbers
demand and can handle. Its teach
ers should know how to teach agri-
culture and domestic science, and
pupils should be taught how to do
things by the most advanced meth
DDS. And not taught abstractly, with
mere textbook knowledge only, but
by acutal observation and expert
ment Until the school teaches the
child how to live and how 20 earn his
living, it has failed of it's mission"
