II FIFTEEN miles west Of the
city of Knoxville is the
Farragut School. This is
country school. No place Of bust
ness is in sight,
It is a school surrounded by
woods and fields and great. green,
towering hills. Near by stream
goes dancing over the rocks,
searching its way to the sea.
six teachers are employed.
The Department Of Education
at Washington has thought 50
much OF the Farragut School that
a special bulletin has been pre-
pared concerning It.
Modified Montessori. =
To build a school in memory Of
great warrior symbols the new
time in which we live.
But then Farragut was a school
teacher as well as soldier So
why not Farragut School?
1t is a grade and vocational
school, combined. It is a school
for farmers, evolved out of the
minds and needs of the noun
taineers.
Superintendent Phillips. the
man in charge, is from Chautau-
qua County a product of the
Fredonia Normal School.
The methods at the Farragut
school might be termed GModi-
fed Montessdfi," or kindergar-
ten for the higher grades
Discipline is kept out Of sight,
Anyone is eligible to enter who
wants to learn. Right intent is
the only requirement. Some Of
the pupils have white hair; in
fact. the students here range all
the way from six years old to-
eighty
Occasionally mountaineer

from the hills. 20. 80, 40 miles

There are lectures on farming,
housekeeping, cooking, dairying,
dressmakIng. The three RS are
taught, also the pupils are taught
to live. They are taught to be
polite. active, thrifty energetic,
Clearly. healthy
Bees and Debates,
In this country school there is
system OF modern plumbing.
shower baths form an important
part in the curriculum, and when
one realizes how much in need a
country district is Of bath facili-
ties. you can guess the wisdom of
the mind who installed this mod
ern plumbing system.
This was something the farm
ers really hadn't thought Of. APP
plicants are merely expected to
bring their own soap and towels.
Certain evenings week the
school is open Volunteer teach
ers are provided. There are
night classes for those who can
not come in the daytime.
Days are set apart for social
purposes. There are spelling

much good cheer with the help
Of hickory nuts, apples and pop
corn.

this is a plain, every day school,
supported by the people who live
in the vicinity
It is not an endowed school.
Every part Of the equipment is In
use, and to some people who
know the lavish outfits that are
provided in certain schools OF the
North, the Farragut School seems
almost pitIful in its sparsity Of
equipment.
But you remember the words
Of David Starr Jordan, who said.
THE value OF college is in in
verse ratio TO the cost Of its
equipment" That is to say, the
people should provide things for
themselves, and that is the big
lesson in life.
Students here are not pauper-
ICED, nor do they suffer from pa
ternalism. They are lifting them
selves, under the kindly guidance
Of a most able, generous, simple
and effective teacher.
In talking with the State Su-
perintendent of Education of
Tennessee, he told me. that the
endeavor all over the State was
now to do away with the little
red schoolhouse and its lonely
teacher. and to combine several
schools In one.
In Tennessee there are quite
number of schools conducted
along the plan of the Farragut
School, and, as the years go by,
there viii be great many all
over America
Cooperation Must Prevail
Several teachers working to-
gether can get up an atmosphere
; which will permeate and dispel
the fog Of ignorance in COM
munity. They acquire an impe-
tus, as 1t were, a momentum,
which makes for progress. Co
operation must prevail in school
teaching as in other things.
When one thinks Of the inde-
cency and disorder that are often
found around the district school,
one is both surprised and delight
ed to find in so-called Hitter
ate district, in the mountains of
Tennessee. a school where good
order prevails and the rights OF
property are respected.
This is "our School," and the
farmers and their families SO re-
gard it.
1t is a center of light, candle
throwing its beams to a dis
lance.
In pedagogy, as in all else. we
work from the complex to the
simple.
Admiral F arragut, it is well to
repeat, was born on a farm near
Knoxville. Here his parents sleep.
He was a mountain boy, Of
Scotch parentage. who had
hungry mind. He entered the
navy as lad of nine years. He
was an errand boy, a servant, a
midshipman. a Lieutenant, cap
tain. commander, an admiral.
Well have the people Of Ten
nessee. done honor'to Farragut by
naming after him school, and a
school which is 80 simple, so nat
uraI, so effective that It has at
tracted. In a degree, the atten-
ton Of the teaching world.
Anything is good enough until
you know of something better
To see the Farragut School is to
feel a pity, mott pride, in the
old tirhe Little Red School
house"

new RATES
BULK OF RAILROAD PASSENGER
TRAVEL TO BE SOME
CHEAPER.

Sioux City, April 28.-Cheapening
of the bulk of railroad passenger
travel out of Sioux City to all points
north, east, south and west will be-
come effective Thursday of this
week at midnight when the new tar
if of passenger rates goes into effect.
Ninety-fve per cent of the fares will
be reduced. Five per cent will ad-
vance.
Reimbursement of passenger rates
On all interstate railroads in the
United States in conformity with the
long and short haul provision of the
law under orders of the Interstate
commerce commission made the re-
vision possible. The new tariffs re-
eeived at Sioux City railroad head
quarters indicate material reduction
in fares, particularly from important
terminals and rate basing points to
| intermediate points.
Only in fares to points east and
| south is a slight increase authorized.
| Travel to points north, west, north
| west and northeast is greatly cheap
ened.
Passenger rates between Sioux
| City and st. Paul will suffer the
| greatest reduction. The rates will
be cut from S7.05 to $5.40, in con
formity with the recent supreme
court decision validating the 2-cen'
fare law in Minnesota. As fares &c
all points north and northwest are
based on the st. Paul fare, passen-
ger rates, consequently, will be
much lower where the route strikes
through st. Paul. Both North anc
South Dakota are greatly benefited
by the rate reduction, and a genera
decrease in rates is made to al
points within the two states. These
cuts are made to comply with thu
new Minnesota rate and the 212
cent mileage measure that became
effective in South Dakota April is
An increase of 5 cents is made il
the Sioux City-Chicago fare, which
was formerly $10.25. To points cas-
of Chicago fares have been slight,
increased. As Chicago is the rat
basing point for that territory, fare
east of Chicago, including leading
Illinois and Indiana points, are cor
respondingly affected.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced BY Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of MothethooC iaatTy-
ing one to most Worscn atEi marks dis
tinctly an epoch il 4h.lc lives. Not one
womanin a hundred Is prepared or M
derstands how to pgc0criy care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment atsucn
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism united for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received q shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child birth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
| nerves and broken health resulting from
| an unprepared condition, and with m
| pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

When I left Mary, after telling her
that had told Dick of her secret mar
rage to his brother Jack, and also
that her baby was dead, l found that
Dick had made all arrangements for
the burial of the baby -.
Aunt Mary, Dick and followed the
little white hearse to the cemetery
and Aunt Mary placed a covering of
flowers on the white casket, and am
sure she murmured short prayer as
we turned away.
When we got back to the. hotel we
found Jack in our rooms walking up
and down like wild man.
Where is she?" he whispered as
he wrung my hand.
"She is over at st. Luke's Hos
pital, said Dick, and as Jack started
for the door he continued: Sit down,
man, and let us tell you about it.
Mary is very sick. Your baby is dead,
and your wife's one anxiety is that
you should not be called nome. l am
afraid that your sudden appearance
will make her worse"

it will do Nher all the good in the

Perhaps it will, - said Dick. And
knew the sight of Jacks drawn face
had turned all his wrath to pity for
the boyish' husband.
Perhaps it is all for the best after

will appeal to the whole family and
we can adjust matters so that Jack
and Mary can begin thsir life together
