The hearts of 1900 children, whose
Christmas would be otherwise sad,
will be gladdened on Christmas Day

citizen who for the past few years has
contributed enough money to provide
a Christmas tree and gifts at City
Hall. Last year the Christmas
tree was erected on the court
house lawn. but this year it will be in
the police station, where it had been
placed for fourteen years, except last
year. The tree was erected in the
Courtroom at the City Hall this morn
ing by City Linemen James and Da-
vid Gray, assisted by George p. Lyons,
trustee of the poor.
The tree stands seventeen and a
half feet high. 1t will be trimmed as
usual with vari-colored electric lights.
The tree was purchased from George
w. Dunlap.
In addition to the large tree, the
city's Santa Claus will have the po-
lice prepare 1900 bags each contain
ing a pair of stockings, nuts, candy
, and an orange. These will be dis
tributed by the police matrons and
the local police on Christmas Day, be-
ginning at nine o'clock
The children who will receive thcs'
gifts are those whose Christmas day
would be otherwise sadCened through
poverty, and the local police beginnin,

poor on their districts. The local polio

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-03-30

San Francisco, CAL, March 30.-It
is more interesting to call on an &C
tive governor than an inactive vol
cano.
Men of all nationalities are nice,
but some are nicer than others.
Japanese fortune tellers use
microscope, but even then they can
not tell white woman's age.
With such fragments OF wisdom,
gathered in a five years tour of the
world, Mrs. B. K Kisam and Mrs. NJ
H. Abbott, two widows of New York,
recently arrived here from Japan and
the Hawaiian Islands.
1--WE have been travelling all over
the world to study men and see ma
ture," said Mrs Kisam, who has the
knack of turning her observations in
to epigrammatic phrases.
I'VE Travelled alone and trusted
ourselves in the hands of all kinds of
men, and not once were we molested
or insulted

climb Mount Haleakala, an extinct
volcano, the same day. Well, inter
viewing live governor beats visiting
an extinct volcano any time; so we
chose the governor.
"In Japan," continued Mrs. Kisam,
"a fortune-teller examined my whole
neck with a microscope, but could not
tell my age" -
The globe-girdling widows are en-
route to Fallon, New, where they are
going to live amongst and study the
American cowboys.
Nevada is the only place in the
United States where the cowboy is
not extinct" said Mrs Abbott.

\ Miss Florence v. Cole, q metp-!
ber Of the faculty Of the Traini5
School delivered the followi
short but very timely and ti&s|
little address before the iaculy
and student body one day lent
week: I. a
"From the time thats Socrates
held his little intellectual court
until the present day, there has
been a feeling with the Student
Body that the Faculty 10 sitsnatu-
raj enemy. This has been particu-
larly true Of the small boy, to
whom the teacher has been an i'm.
placable foe whose greatest tioy in
life was to deny him the privilege
ofhunting on an ideal winter, day
or fishing when the spring breeze
called irresistibly.
'sSome Of these privileges are
inalienable and belong to q boy
by right Of birth. They are the
outlet for that tremendous ener.
gy Characteristic Of the small boy.
"The old time SCHOOL master"
gave little heed to these rights.
He stood on a high PEDESTAL Of
dignity, stiff Of collar rand OF back
bone, and swayed his classes with
the ferule. The school marin"
was even more awesome tina n
this; she has become a matter OF
tradition. She was always an old
maid, invariably scraped her
hair tight back from her face, and
exhorted her pupils inashrilland
nerve-racklng voice.
"The up-to-date teacher wishes
to avoid this sort of thingl Not
only does the exaggerated digni.
ty starch and dry the humanity
within him, but it is obviously
hurtful to the attitude of the stu
dent. It constantly reminds the
small boy Of his lost rights and
he esents having knowledge fore
ed into his head by q dignity &c
odious as the ferule.
"The Faculty members OF thu
world are beginning to realize
the wonderful method, opening
to them year by year, of making
friends OF the students and being
one with them. They are trying
to substitute interest in tn {
school for the loss of those privi
leges dear to the small boys
heart. They are trying to make
him realize that by meanness he
is not outwitting an enemy, bu'
injuring a friend. They are giving
him athletics. Fairgrounds ant
games OF all kinds. They are giy
ing him the Boy Scout move
lnent, that he may bore his bar
toes in the soft green turf OF tn
bank, gaze with fascinated eye
upon the shadowy water ant
wait with expectant thrill, tina
only a really, truly small boy
heart can feel. for the nibble c
the fish at the other end of tn
line; and do it in a way calcula
ted not to interfere with his edu
cation.

1nstead Of scattering efforts
over the entire county, the Nc
Dowell supervisor this year is de-
voting her time to ten schools,
seeking to- make them demon,
stratton schools, to show how
the country schoolscan be made
to train for practical rural liv-
ing when they have proper teach
ing and proper supervision. I'm
der her direction, and with the
cooperation Of the teachers in
these schools and the superinten-
dent, approximately two hun
dred boys have been studying
practical agriculture, while One
hundred girls have been doing
definite and practical work in
sewing. This kind of work has
been done before in the h ig b
schools, but it is a new thing for
the elementary schools.
Besides giving the children an
exceptionally efficient elementary
training, this plan is having an
effect on the community. The
people Of Ashford, one OF thecom.
munities in which this plan has
worked well, have petitioned to
raise the locsl'tax from 20 to 30
cents, in order to add a room tc
their two-teacher school, making
it an efficient school OF the three
teacher type. They also intend te
build q permanenthome for thei1
male principal, SO as to secure
his services for the community
for the entire year, instead OF fol
only six or seven months.
More than this, the plan is hav
