Sense Centers Have
Been Discovered
And Verified.

While there is a large truth un-
DERIVING the science Of phrenolo-
gy, the brain building specialists
do not give their hallmark Of APP
provsl to that cult. and the sense
centers as now demonstrated by
science are located at quite diner
ent spots in the brain structure
from those assigned 70 them by
chronology. But sense centers in
the brain have been discovered
and absolutely verified. and In
more than one or two ways. It
has been established, too. that BY
exercising certain part OF the
body or one Of the sense we are
actually building up brain matter
A man who cultivates his hear
ing builds up or creates more
brain cells in the hearing part or
the brain than the man who takes
no training in auditory discrimi-
nation. II he cultiyates sight,
more raln cclls have been built
In that part Of his brain and so
on. Professor Elmer Gates, who
has devoted his LIE to these re-
riches. declares that develop
ment in any one sense not only
makes more cells in that part OF
the brain, but more riLd gener-
ally.

Resolve, Persistence and
Ambition Clear the
Way.


With only 10 per cent Of our
mental powers active, we behold
this jungle Of tangled vines Of
circumstances growing about
trees Of obstacles. and we hear
the snarling Of wild beasts Of
fear, and Incidence. and self-in-
diligence, which lnrk In the jun
giles. But with the weapons and
tools OF resolve. persistence and
high ambition, we can clear out
small space each day. pull up
vine, make an incision in one
tree. and frighten away or de-
stroy one dangerous beast or SER
pent.
This done the percentage Of
brain power is increased. and just
so much added strength is given
us for the next move. As the tan
gled vines, and the great trees.
and the wild beasts are removed.
we find space on which to build
a temple, and from the other
room II this temple we are en-
abled to see over and beyond the
jungle. to behold the beautiful
plains. and the undulatlng hills
and the bounding pillows of the
ocean where great ships ride.
And these plains. and these hills,
and these ships upon the sea are
our very own TO enjoy ours to de-
rive benefit therefrom, and to
share their benefits and Joys with
others, II we continue TO clear
the road through the jungle and
to increase our mental capital day
by day.

IT, FIFTEEN miles west OF the
city OF Knoxville is the
Farragut school. This is
country school. No place Of busi-
ness is in sight,
1T is school surrounded by
woods and fields and great, green,
towering hills Near BY stream

searching it's way to the sea,
six teachers are employed.
The Department Of Education

To build school in memory OF
a great warrior symbols the new
time in which we live.
But then Farragut was a school
teacher as we'll as a soldier So
Why not Farragut School?
1t is a grade and a vocational
school, combined. 1t 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, product Of the
Fredonia Normal School.
The methods at the Farragut
school might be termed "Modi-
ned Montessori," or a 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

month at this school, boarding
with some farmer in the neigh
borhood.
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. II
Spelling Bees and Debates.
In this country school there is
a system of modern plumbing.
shower baths form an important
part in the curriculum, and when
one realizes how much in need az
country district is Of bath facil!-
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
bees debates, cooking classes and
much good cheer with the help
of hickory nuts, apples and pop
corn.
There is a complete cooking
outfit here, with kitchen that Is
much more complete than IL
found probably in the homes
hereabouts.

By EBERT HUBBARD

this is a plain, everyday school.
supported by the people who live
in the vicinity.
1t 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-
lied, 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 SUI
perintendent OF Education Of
Tennessee. he told me that the
endeavor all over tho 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 a
number Of schools conducted
along the plan of the Farragut
School, and. as the years go by.
there will be great many all
over America.
Cooperation Must Prevail
Several teachers working to-
gethers can get up an atmosphere
which win permeate and dispel
the fog OF ignorance In CONF
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 indie
cency and disorder that are often
found around the. district school,
one is both surprised and delight
ed to find in a 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.
Ii 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 mountain boy OF
Scotch parentage. who had a
hungry mind. He entered the
navy as a lad OF nine years He
was an errand boy. a servant, a
midshipmap, lieutenant, cap
tain. a commander. an admiral
Well have the people of Ten
nessee done honor to Farragut by
naming after him a school. and a
school which is 50 simple, so nat
ural, 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 pity. not pride. in the
old time little Red School

BISMARCK TO HAVE
FLOUR MILL SOON

Bismarck, Sept. 2.-After being shut
down for several years, the Bismarck
mill of the Russell-Miller Milling com
pany will resume operations within
the next few weeks, according to the
superintendent of the western divis
ion, who was in the city yesterday
looking over local property.
The mill was purchased by the Rus
sell-Miller Milling company several
years ago, but: it has never been op'
Grated by them. 1t has a capacity of
$50 barrels day. rE
Plans have been made for over
hauling the mill and putting it in
first-class shape. A crew Of mill
wrights will arrive within a few
days and it is expected that the prop
erty can be put in shape within two
weeks. ~, ...AAy,~ "
Ever since the mill closed down,
considerable pressure has been
brought to bear upon the company
to resume operations here. Overtures
have been made to other capital to
build a mill, but this one has always
initiated against interesting new cap

Allenstein was occupied today and
Konigsberg, the strongest fortress in

Russians Claim Triumphant Advance, Ger

Evidence accumulates that the en-
thusiasm for the war is growing con
stantly. Only in 1872, when Moscow
was taken by Napoleon, were the Rus
slams as unanimous in their determine
ton to support their country's cause
by all possible means as they are now
The present war is declared holy one
and private persons, corporations, the
nobility and the clergy are subscribing
large sums for the wounded and dis
tressed. This is true not only OF the
capitals, but of the provinces.
One Of the most striking examples
of this national unity is the decision
of the nobility in several places to
work the fields for the peasants called
to the war. This example Is likely to
be widely followed. Jews and other
prosecuted nationalities are working
with the Russians.
