The Hard First Round
BY TONY BIDDLE.
Millionaire Athlete and Society Man.

. The first round of a fight is al
ways the hardest round. Our body
is like an engine. 1t takes time
to get up steam. Just as the heavy
hywheels and massive moving
parts of a great machine gain
speed only slowly, our heart and
lungs respond slowly to the orders
from the brain for quick and stren-
uous action. Effort performed
before the heart and lungs are
moving at pace rapid enough to
supply US with blood and oxygen
enough to keep pace with our ex-
ertion is done on nerve" as the
graphic slang expression puts it.
1t requires great mental effort and
is accompanied by a painful feel
ing of physical and organic strain.
As the organs gather speed and
catch up with the demands of the
brain, there seems to come a re-
adjustment. Our breath comes in
long, easy inhalations, instead OF
short, strained gasps A greatly
increased blood supply circulates
through our muscles, lending a

TEACHING IS GIVEN
ONLY WHEN NEEDED

Words and numbers are given the
children only as the need for them
develops, and then with as little for
mality as possible. The whole idea
is for the children to find out things.
if possible, without being told.
The children in this r. raj school
are not assigned TO Classes and
periods as in The Traditional
school A visitor will see one group
working in the gardon, another
group on the veranda sewing, anofh-
er in the kitchen at a cooking task
and still another ,1oinR "nu1nbers''
or reading with the teacher In her
room.
The aim of the Rock Hill school Ia
thus summarized by DR.. A p. Bour-
land: THE resolve was to make a
school that will train the farm child
ren for their future work in the
home, on the farm, ard in the so
cial life around them. Hence we be-
gan frankly with the activities Of
the farm. The aim was not a cut
and-dried plan, but rather a work
ing idea to enable the teacher to
create a growing agency for the
development of farm life"

The garden is the center about

IRKSOME WORK is
LACKING IN SCHOOL.

All the awesome and itkSome fea-
lures of ordinary school discipline
are lacking, and, instead of study
under a firing grind, the pupils of
this school absorb knowledge
through doing interesting work, In
a manner that gives opportunity for
development and individuality.
They are not Cogs in a knowledge
machine that must turn whether or
no, and that must turn out so many
pieces, cut according to die
stamp. All of this Is done away
with. Things are not done by the
abstract, but put upon a basis of
reality in familiar surroundings that
lead to individual assurance.
More attention is given to useful
pursuits, mechanical or industrial,
and less to the so-called higher
branches.
In the matter of absence of desks,
of silence rules. and in many other
respects, observers have noted a
resemblance in the Rock Hill School
to the widely known Montessori
schools. but Mrs. Browne began her
work several years ago, quite inde-
pendently OF the theories of Nine.

Abstract Studies Are Discarded
Applied Learning New System
By RALPH A. COLLINS.

Things are undergoing metamor-
phosis in the "old red school house"
The rod and the restraints of other
days are passing-in Rock Hill, S.
c., at least. In this rftle Tarheel
town new idea in rural educational
work has been started by Mrs. Hetty
Browne. There at least, the farmer
lads are free of the irksCme re-
straint of long hours under the rod
and rigid discipline.
Boys and girls go TO the Rock
Hill school on willing, tripping feet.
They are interested and enjoy their
work. No more do they lag in the
fields and look upon the building
as prison and a barrier to theiS
hopes. This condition is due largely,
to a few commonsense ideas in rural
education, worked OTt by Mrs.
Browne.
Complete freedom from restraint
Is the lot of all those who attend the
experimental school ar winthrop
College, Rock Hill. There are no
seats or desks in his school: no
class rooms no rule of silence, but
a free activity guided ard directed
by woman who is in complete sym
pathy with country children and
country life.

Senator West, Of Georgia, who
was the first to speak yesterday In
the Senate on the proposition to
have the government lend $780,
100000 to the Southern farmers on
their cotton, takes the same view OF
the subject that the Telegram does.
He says that relief should come from
action taken by the various cotton
States and individual citizens and
that the federal government should
not be called on. The precedent
would be a very bad one and would
not only divert the government from
its true and only function, which is
to govern, but would distinctly dis
courage the spirit of self-depend-
ence in the people, which is one OF
the most valuable moral assets any
nation can possess.
