science are located at quite differ

the brain have been discovered
and absolutely verified, and IN
more than one or two ways. 1t

God created man in His own
image.
He meant man to develop the
Divine qualities and the Divine
powers.
He meant man to have and en-
joy every benefit. delight and
pleasure which this wonderful
world offers; he meant man to
form a partnership with Nature
and beadtify the earth, and to
make this life the ante-room to
larger worlds and fuller lives be-
yond by realizing his eternal part
nership with his Creator. In truth,
God meant man to be superhu-
man; a human demonstration Of
Divine possibilities.
There have been many great
men and women on earth, but no
man and no woman who have
been as great and as perfectly
rounded as they might be. That
complete development remains to
be done by the new humanity.
You who read these words,
however great and successful and
good you may be. are not as
great, as successful. or good as
you can be.

Professor Gates has demon
strated this brain building and
mind culture not only in children
and adults, but also in animals,
For one year, for several hours
each day. he trained dogs 10 dis

this by placing several hundred
tin cans painted different colors
in the yard with the dogs and by
placing their food In cans Of one
color and by sending an electric
shock to the dogs II they would
touch any can but the right one.
BY methods such as these, end
lessly varied, he taught them to
avoid all pans but the right one,
which they would discriminate
eventually from the hundreds OF
others OF all shades, colors and
tints. They could at last distin-
guish between seven shades Of
red and seven of green, and thus
in many ways exhibited more
mentality than any unframed dog.
In the light which these expe-
rlments and demonstrations have
cast upon the paths of life, each
one OF us ought to see an as
cending road lying before us, to-
ward unattained heights.

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 lurk in the jun
giles. But with the weapons and
tools of resolve, persistence and
high ambition. we can clear out'a
small space each day, pull up a
vine, make an incision in one
tree. and brighten 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 of this temple we are en-
abled to see over and beyond the
jungle; to behold the beautiful
plains, and the undulating 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. il we continue to clear
the road through the jungle and
to increase our mental capital day
by day.

Cold stones to charm content she flows
Midst somber, leafy shadows.
Their joyous thanks the bluebells nod.
New life she yields their mother Sod,

Till dusk's dark nantes fall.
Beyond, roaring river churns,
And pond'rous wheel Of labor turns,
All pridefuI of her deeds Of skill
She scorns the humble rill.

II FIFTEEN miles west u ehS
city Of Knoxville is the
Farragut School. This is
country school. No place of bust
ness is in sight.
1t is school surrounded by
woods and fields and great, green,
towering hills. Near by a stream
goes dancing over the rocks,
searching its way to the sea.
six teachers are employed.
The Department Of Education
at Washington has thought so
much Of the Farragut School that
a special bulletin has been pre-
pared concerning 1t.
Modified Montessori.
To build school in memory OF
a great warrior symbols the new
time in which we live.
But then Farragut was school
teacher as well 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, a product Of the
Fredonia Normal School.
The methods at the Farragut
School might be termed "Modi-
fed Montessori,' 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
ard his wife will come down
from the hills, 20, 30, 40 miles
away, and spend week or
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
Spelling 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 a 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 complete cooking
outfit here, with kitchen that is
much more complete than Is
found probably in the homes
hereabouts.
And just please remember that

this is 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-
lied, nor do they suffer from pa
ternalism. They are lifting them
selves, under the kindly guidance
of q 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 q
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 win permeate and dispel
the fog of ignorance in a COM
munity. They acquire an impe-
tus, as it 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 litter
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 50 re-
gard It.
1t is a center of light. a candle
throwing it's 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 farm near
Knoxville. Here his parents sleep.
He was mountain boy, OF
Scotch parentage, who had
hungry mind. He entered the
navy as lad of nine years. He
was an errand boy, servant a
midshipman. a lieutenant, a cap
tain, 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 degree, the atten-
tion Of the teaching world.
Anything is good enough until
you know OF something better.
To see the Farragut School is to
feel a pity. not a pride, in the
old time Little Red School
