SCHOOLS TO CELEBRATE FARM
LIFE

So fundamental is the upbuilding Of
rural life, in the opinion of DR.. P. p
Claxton, United States Commissioner
of Education, that tie observance in
the schools of one day each year as
Agricultural and Rural Life Day
should become a national custom, in
stead of being confined to few states
as at present I'VE can do without

given an opportunity to pause in
their regular work and consider the
Significance of agriculture and rural
life: the worth and worthiness II
tillage of the soil; and the beauty and
glory of simple and sane life in the
open country"
DR.. Claxton points out that in sew
eral states Agriculture and Rursi
Life Day" has already been introduce
ed into the schools, at the suggestion
of the Bureau of Education. In other
states exercises appropriate to the
purpose are held in connection with
Arbor Day, Thanksgiving Day, or
the Harvest Home celebration. In
order to aid in the proper observance
of the day, under whatever name it
may be celebrated, the Bureau OF
Education has just issued bulletin
containing material that can be used
by teachers and others in errangirg
an interesting program.
Fittingly prefaced with the County
Boys Creed" the bulletin includes
sections on mans struggle for food,

What we have tried to do" said
DR.. Claxton yesterday, "is to get to-
gether in convenient form material
that will help in the movement for
of the true calue and
beauty Of farm life among all classes
of our population. The wider observ-
ance of Agriculture and Rural Life
Day, both in city and country schools,
will give the coming generation
clearer insight than the past has had
into the fact that agriculture is the
basis of national well-being, and that
there is no more honorable work In
life than that on the farm"

?, 1914, to celebrate the seventy-ff fifth
anniversary of the establishment of
the worlds first reform school for bad
boys. A lawyer named Metz was the
originator of the novel idea that per
haps bad boys might be transformed
into good boys, if given the proper
environment and opportunity, and in
this unique project the barrister was
ably seconded and financially support
ed by Vicomte Courcelles, and with
the money of the latter the first re-
form school was built and opened on
Jan, 2, 1899. Before that time it was
considered that when boys were bad
it was because of original sin. and
that flogging, and, in extreme cases,
more brutal punishment, was the only
cure Jean Jacques Rousseau and 9TH
err humanitarians had suggested that
kind treatment and proper educational
advantages might work a cure in
cases of juvenile delinquency, but such
theories were long denounced as IN
godly and irreligious. The reform
school idea found speedy acceptance
in France, after the success of the
Mettray institution in dealing with
supposed incorrigfbles, and quickly
spread to Germany, England, the Uni
ted States and other lands Today ev-
cry country has it's reform schools,
junior republics, Juvenile courts and
other machinery for dealing with
youthful deIinquents. Reforma tory
schools, as a rule, admit only youths
who have been guilty of crimes, which,
when committed by adults, are pun
ishable by Imprisonment. The juvenile
courts have since been established to
bring about the reformation of youth
full offenders without recourse to the
reform school, and nave been highly
successful If preliminary plans are

JUST A FEW THINGS
YOU MAY NOT KNOW
ABOUT NEW YEARS

New Years Day used to fall in
March, not in January And there
was a good deal OF sense in this
For even as the worlds first year was
supposed to have begun in the sprout-
ing of leaf and grass, so each New
Years Dav was set for the season
when nature began to wake after her
winter sleep
julius Caesar, not content with cut
ting up the earth to suit himself, de-
cided to cut up the year in the same
way. So in as b c. he invented what
was known as the Julian Calendar,
and which served the world as a time
measure for the next 1000 years and
more. till the Gregorian Calendar took
its place in 1882. Caesar put his trade
mark on the job by changing the title
Of one of the months from ''Quintilis''
70 --JliIy,'' in honor of his own first
name
I'm to then New Years Day fell on
March / As the people of early times
lived in rather tropical climate
lEarch 1 was really the opening of
spring. and it was a good deal more
ike the real start of a fresh year
than was the mid-wfnter date of Jan.

some Of our months names date
hack to that old style of time count

il I'D. For instance, September, Oc-
tolDer. November and December start
with Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec, the
first syIIabIes of the Latin names for
seven eight nine and ten"
For when the new year began on
March 1 they were respectively the
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
The new year used to mean the
start of everything in nature and hui
man life Hence it was a time for
festivals, mostly sacred. As in our
own Thanksgiving Day, the sacred
element at length took a, second place
and it was a day of rather riotous
holiday making which was the start
Of our present New Years Eve revels.
In the East originated the custom of
going to visit ones friends on the
years first day, to wish them prosper
itv and happiness for the coming.
twelve months. And in time, like
many another Oriental custom, it
found its way to America in the shape
% New Years calls.
Cakes with cabalistic designs on
them and with a sacred significance
were given with much ceremony to
New Years callers in the Orient. And
the same idea at length reached Amer
lea in the form of the old fashioned
New Years cakes Also in the
other refreshments served to New
Years callers
BY the way. of course you know
that there is now difference of thir-
teen days between the Julian and the
Csregorian calendars The difference
is growing greater right along. That
means we would have celebrated New
Tears Day on Dec. 10 if we had
stuck to the old style of figuring our
time The difference was only eleven
