Point was the high far aerie from
which we took that first comprehen-

the man-made platform overhanging
its bewildering dazzle and depth.

Looking up the gorge from Inspira-
ton Point, between the walls of rent
sulphur cliffs, we could see the foam
ing descent Of the great falls-nearly
400 feet of frothy white, viewed
through a dazzle of prismatic lights.
Down the gorge there were green
peaks covered with pines, and beyond
them one tall mountain wrapped in
deep violet mist. Below the wall, up
on the rim Of which we were frailly
perched, tall needles of rock thrust
up their points, colored like the gar
ments of Cleopatra, and upon one or
two of the pinnacles the ospreys had
found them nests where they might
lay their young. Even now the soar
ing birds fioated near the nests, black
specks in a golden sea of air far be-

1t was from Artist Point, on the OPP
posite side, that we were best able to
study the bewildering canyon color.
At varied hours of the day the eff,

did not alter. Here the walls were
nearly 1000 feet high, and every foot
of the way dabbed with lengthwise

spray rose in clouds, swept by some
continuous air-current against the
north wall of the canyon, which was
covered with plush of emerald moss

School Influence in the Philippines

The influence which the large number of school
trained children in the Philippines will have on the
political body Of the country is great. In no less
degree than the boys do the girls contribute to the
general intelligence of the country, though they do
not become voters. In that rapidly developing coun-
try, a primary graduate-as soon as he becomes OF
age-shoud possess such educational qualifications
as may enable him to meet the requirements for
becoming a voter: Intermediate graduates should,,aip
view Of their greater opportunity for study, be quail
fled for leadership in their respective communities.
High school graduates, cen if they do not continue
their studies in the university, are educationally'
qualified for leadership in a rather broad way. The
influence Of the public schools is even now being felt
in. governmental affairs.
The report of the attendance Of the public schools
just after the opening of this school year has reached
the authorities at Washington. 1t shows a very ma
terial increase over last year. During the school
year 1912-1913 there we're graduated from the primary
course 1929 boys and 4,102 girls; from the inter.
mediate course 2,643 boys and 1862 girls; from the
secondary course, 2S4 boys and So girls. The present

without q playground, and again: III
I had to take my choice for my own
child. in n of our large cities. between
a school without a playground and q
playground without a school. would
choose the playground"
The Observation-Disclosures are, comrar-
atively newNtn America and not very old
anywhere--ssventy cities having opened
e for the frst time during the past
year-while there are 342 cities main
tanning regularly supervised Fairgrounds
averaging about seven for each city.
The new activities for the school re-
qnire, in the first place, q large yard;
secondly, a yard which is in condition to
be used. which is not often the case ct
present: and, thirdly, a yard with a
certain amount Of equipment for play and
someone in charge for organized pla!
and physical trainig both during the
school day and after school. on jsatut
days. and during the simmer vacation.
1t Is unfortunate that any school needs
to be built IN the city, because it Il lis
1 uaily impossible to get enough land for
baseball. football and the other games
that the children should play. Tho past
10 years. however, have seen the inven.
ton or Introduction of several new gam IS
such as volley ball. basket ball, indoor
baseball and tether ball, which are more

Wherever the play ground has been

has been a notable reduction in failures.

cn.e people admit there IS d necessity
for the children In the city to have a
playground. bltlsthcre is NO such need
in the country. OF course. children in
the country get considerable exercise BY.
simply doing the chores and other light
work. but these movements are of such
a nature as to produce developments Of
the body which need t be corrected
through play activities. This constant
work tends to make the movements slow
and clumsy, rather than graceful.
City children need a good sized schco.
yard because thsres isf no other place sto;

Women Farmers Make
Science Produce Crops

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 27.-Kansas has
1900 women in the active management
of farms, and there IL not one who has
not made a success. These women are
scattered over fifty-four countries in a
little more than one-half the counties In
Kansas, OF course many women oWn
farms but do not take an active, part
in the management Most of the women
owning farm lands rent the property, and
generally they have an agent who looks
after affairs for them.
But there are 1900 women who are
known rs active managers OF their own
farms. and some are renters. There prob
ably are, a few more than this number,
but according to the records Of the Kan
sas Agricultural college this is the num-
Der who are actually enrolled in the
farmers Institutes as active farm man.
ayers. There arc several thousand women
from the farms who are active members
OF the farm Institutes as housewives but
not as farmers, and their husbands man,
age the farms.
The Kansas women farmer is a scien-
tifc farmer. Most women are not active
in farm management, SO when they take
over the handling of a. farm inc farm
crops and stock they realize the necessity
of study and work to be successful. II
is estimated by the agricultural author
tiles that % per cent OF the women in
the active. management Of the farms are
: members OF the farmers institutes and
enrolled on the mailing list for farm bull.
letins Of the college.
About so per cent OF, the fen farmers
have-.not been regular members of the
farm extension work. This year has seen
a great change throughout the state
among the men, as the dry weather gave
would do. Those who farmed scientific
ally. who had attended the farm inst
tutes and studied the farm bulletins, arc
able to show some corn in their fields
while those across the road who neve,
paid any attention to farm study had nc
corn. The attendance at the farm insti.
,tutes thus far held this year has ~increas,
= ed TO per cent over those OF a year ago
Most OF the Kansas women farmers
are In central and.western Kansas. There
are about thirty women school teachers

lands, some through direct purchase, and
others have taken up homesteads N tn,

lands. Sixteen women made the race In.
to the government forest reserve in Ham
ilton and Kearney counties last summer
when 10000 acres Of the reserve wa,
opened to settlement. Each n got g

Most women farmers are widows lef,

the husbands died. Most women would
consider a farm q incumbrance, but
the Kansas women generally took thu
other view and became active managers
