vile, L. I).-German newspapers to-
day published articles expressing sat
isfaction that the British and Japan
ese attacks on Using Tau, the forth
fled position in the German leased
territory of Kiao Chow, have been re-
pulsed. They declare that the splen-
did defense of the Using Tau garrison
is an indication that the promise of
the governor of the colony to defend
the territory to the bitter end is be-
ing carried out.
According to official news today
the loyal conduct of the Polish sol
diers in the German army has made
possible the dissolution of the Ger
man anti-Polish union.
A great part of the German army
under General Won Hindenberg has
effected junction with the Austrians
on the Vistula at Ivangarod, in Rus
sian Poland, where the Russians are
concentrating on the right bank. A
small portion of Won Hindenburg,s
army remains near Suwalki. These
troops succeeded in preventing the
Russian advance in the direction of
east Prussia, in spite of the numeri-
cal superiority of the enemy.

Since the attempt was begun to In
troduce industrial education in the pub

been experienced in securing compe-
tently trained teachers for such sub

ried a story from New York to the eff

effort to secure teachers for the in

come from other cities, and the dearth

KNAPP SCHOOL Of :
COUNTRY LIFE
First Institution Devoted EX-
CIuSIVSIy TO Rural Life

When a school SITS out to be prac-
teal, to teach people how TO practice
best the things they must practice in
some sort every day of tier lives, the
thing that bulks largest before that
school is country life. At least, that
Is the view taken by the men who
worked out the plan of George Peabody
College For Teachers, at Nashville,
Tenn, when it began trying to be prac-
teal.
First, it Is named the Seaman A..
Knapp School Of Country Life; second,
it is the first school ever established in
the world devoted exclusively to the
study of country life problems; third.
it has enough money back of it, Sc
curely invested, to work steadily and
definitely toward whatever end it has
in view.
Those are the things that the Seaman
A. Knapp School of Country Life is.
The thing it proposes to co Is this:
The Knapp School of Country Life
is not an agricultural college. 1t teach
es agriculture, to be sure, but as a
part of the general scheme of life In
the country. 1t teaches the making Of
farm homes quite as much as it does
Ahn N Hinn oP farm prnnq II teaches
rural credits and rural culture. 1t
teaches how to get the biggest returns
from work in the country and then
how to apply those returns to get the
most possible out of living in the coun-
try. 1t seeks, in short, to put the peo-
PIE who live in the country In position
to enjoy to the full the matchless pos
sibilities of life in the country.
The physical ear of attaining that
result are to be a building on the cam
pus of George Peabody College For
Teachers, designed and equipped for
just this kind Of work, and a farm of
200 acres some miles away. 1t is not
an experimental farm. 1t Is a farm on
which students are shown how to do
the things they are taught In the class
rooms-the demonstration idea Of DR..
Seaman A. Knapp, III honor of whose
work the school Is named.
The farm buildings are not to be par
ticularly fine. They are intended to be
just the best type Of buildings econom-
ically possible on a farm of 200 acres,
neither more nor less than that. They
are the kind of buildings that can be
reproduced on the farms of the south.
A primary school-just a district
schools maintained adjacent to the
farm. It's pupils are not selected.
They are the kind of pupils the country
teachers have in charge everywhere.
The school building and gropnds are
not costly. They are the kind of build
ing and grounds a district school ev-
erywhere may have. But they are
made the NEST Of. All their possibili-
ties are realized. They can be repro
duced in any country community, CIV
ing the best practically possible in
rural school equipment.
Those are the physical means. The
mental means comprise a corps of prac-
