The Tribune Fresh Air Fund is still
running at top speed.
At the beginning of the summer IL
WAS announced that the work OF the
fund would be started up at full speed
and continued at that pace as long as
the contributions received seemed to
warrant it. General unsettled condl-
tions at that time demanded that the
question of how far it would be wise
to attempt to carry the work this sea-
son be carefully considered.
This week the fund is sending 1,lO7
boys and girls away to the country to
begin fortnight outings. The number
for each day and the places to which
the children are being sent are as fol-
lows:

The House of Childhood.
"Of course, reading and writing are
TIE great highways through which
though, passes from one man TO many"
,,,d Miss Meredith Smith, director Of
the House Of Childhood in the Uni
vsrsjtv Of Pittsburgh. "But reading
and writing are not natural means Of
,ompur cation in the ehild's world Of
the home and the school.
Whatever ideas Jack wishes 70 con-
vsv 70 hts mother or his chum he can
usually express in spoken words. The
vovngs,er who has something to say
saws it. Fe doesn't write it unless

The need for reading and writing
develops when children begin TO rec
orrize their relationships outside the
home and the school, when they become
conscious Of themselves as members
Of A larger group than the family or
the class. Then they want TO be able
70 read and write. because they want to
reach people who are not in their i'm

1T is this larger social conscious
ness that l believe we should try TO
develop in the children during their
early years in school. So I give the
little folks blocks instead Of books.
They build houses, stores, a church, a
ros.ofce and a railway station.

suggests making a road from one house

ha- developed. They must have roads

SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY
The House of Childhood" Experiment in Education
Under the University of Pittsburgh, Makes Its
School a Miniature Village.

"Aud you must advertise insists
Daisy of the teahouse
eve must have newspaper they
decide. and at this point the children
come TO me because they have discov-
cred use for reading and writing.
$50 we set TO work TO learn how TO
make signs for the stores and the
wagons, how TO write advertisements
and news items for the paper.
1.-THE proprietor of the teahousc
nearly drowned at the beach last Sun
day wrote Daisy with great care and
profound satisfaction. She was COM
municating a matter Of some impor-
lance to her community.
This dramatization Of community
life goes on for months. The planning
and building become more elaborate.
A fire company is organized. car
line is run out TO the farms.
Local trips stimulate the children's
interest in the city outside the scnool.
We visit a furniture factory, and when
we return | begin TO read them story
of lumber camp. l leave it purposely
unfinished, and several children ask 70
borrow the book.
"As their interests widen their desire
for books increases. There is difficulty
in holding attention during the reading
lessons. The youngsters are as eager
TO learn TO read as they arc to build
tables and chairs and street cars.
"You see," Miss Smith explained, two
have regarded school studies as ends
in themselves, and we have not both
cred to connect them with the chill
dren's aims and purposes.
"In the community play which have
described, reading, writing and arith-
metic become means by which the chill
dren can reach their ends. Therefore
these studies become as vital and de-
sirable to the youngsters as learning
to swim or ride a bicycle.
"Our colossal blundeI in formal edu-
cation has been that we have not al
lowed the children TO bring their inter
ests, their aims and purposes into the
school room.
For Demoeracy's Sake.
eve have prescribed their conduct 60
the most minute details, and the re-
suit has been that we have developed
in the pupils of the public schools a
passive, receptive type of mind which
is not effective in a democracy.
Successful democracy demands the
active, reasoning type of mind which is
developed when we are free to choose
this way or that, and pressing forward
toward our goal which we must over
come. The struggle to advance in a
chosen direction, to surmount the bar
riers in our path, is education in its
profoundest sense.
"The aim of the public school should
be not 50 much increase Of information
as the development of the active rea-
soning type of mind-the only type
which has ever contributed, or can ever
contribute, to civilization.
knowledge is of value to adults only
to the extent that it helps us to real
ize our purposes. The same thing is
true in the case of children.
THE noblest individual is he whose
purposes are the most social, and on
this theory | have based the community
study for little children which ! expect
to conduct this year at the University
of Pittsburgh"

BULLET AND BIBLE.

 the Other Saved 1t.
 To illustrate the bullet resisting pow CTS of papers, veteran war core spondent brought for the inspection of some of his journalistic colleagues a pocketbook filled with photographs and papers and Bible, each of which. on separate occasions had been instru- mental In saving his life in the course of the Russo-Turkish war
 Tn one instance he was knocked off his horse by the impact of a bullet and became unconscious, only to find on re- gaining his senses that the friendly wallet had prevented the bullet enter ing his body. On the second occasion, at Plevna, the Bible, which he had placed in a side pocket, de1ected a heavy piece of shrapnel that threaten ed to end his existence.
 He had kept the wallet intact as memento of his escape, and one of the journalists who was examining it's contents came, by curious coinci- dence, upon letter which he himself had indited to the war correspondent some thirty or forty years ago, the very existence of which he had en tirely forgotten.
 In the letter he had expressed the hope that his friend would return safe and sound from the seat of war. The words "safe and sound" had been al most cut away by the bullet. which. but for the providential interposition of the bundle of papers. would proba, bly have ended the war correspond, ent's life.-Nottingham Guardian.

Microscopic Handwriting.

It is possible to possess certain ele gance of penmanship and yet be al- most undecipherable as writer. A distinguished literary man. whose name mercifully withhold, writes q microscopically small hand, almost fairylike in it's outlines and possess ing quite elfn eIusiveness-almost every word can be read as some other word. Wagsish friends who received from him letters on commonplace mat ters would sometimes affect to regard them as descriptions of his exciting adventures in the Alps. the burning down of his house or something simi- larly sensational and reply according ly.

A Tardy Act of Justice.

Marriages between English actresses and men of high social position be- gan in the eighteenth century, if no earlier. There was Lavinla Fenton, the Polly Peachum of Gays "Beggar's Opera" who became Duchess of Bol- ton; there was Miss Farren. who mar. ried Lord Derby; also Miss Brnnton became Lady Craven not long before Lord Thurlow married Miss Bolton. Earliest of the list, though, comes the Earl of Peterborough. who married Anastasia Robinson, the singer. and kept the marriage secret until a few days before his death in St. James palace. when he assembled his relatives and friends and publicly acknowledged the woman ito whom he owed the best and happiest hours of his life" a tardy act of justice that caused the lady to swoon away.

First Crude Attempts to Illustrate
 Events of the Day.
 1t is a lit. .le surprising to learn that the first journal to give illustrations with any frequency was the Mercu- rius Civilius, which came out during the civil war in England with portraits of Charles l. and his queen, Cromwell and his officers and Prince Rupert. More elaborate pictures dealing with the war were, however, left to the pamphlets of that time. The frost fair on the Thames in 1883 was made the subject of an interesting broadside. and so also was the funeral of Queen Mary II. in 1895.
 With the eighteenth century the art of Illustrating actualities grew. Car features abounded, now of the Jacob ites, now of the south sea bubble or similar exciting events. The Daily Post of TAO afforded an example Of daily paper attempting to illustrate current event On March 20 of that year it published a detailed diagram of Admiral Vernon's attack on Porto Bello.

VOICE CULTIVATION.
1t Is Said That the Average American

1t Is Said That the Average American
 Needs 1t Badly.
 The American voice lacks cadence. The touch of harmony is lacking. In depth or shrillness it's strongest quail ty is monotony of tone.
 In conversation it is colorless, and half of the resources of the vocal cords are unused or undeveloped. A strident, high pitched, nasal voice fails in say ing any good thing well.
 Every one has the power of speaking with sweet infection. Every one can attain a reposeful utterance and clear enunciation by training the ear and voice to work together in avoiding harsh tones and cultivating the middle and more mellow register in every voice.
 Excitement sends it up to scream ing pitch. but self control will lower it again, and it's playground should be through the varying harmonies or ca dences of five notes.
 According to Thomas Wentworth | Higginson, our English cousins put more cadence, more up and down. into an inquiry, What time is it?" than Americans would into the announce ment that a president was shot. A crowd of baseball fans will pitch the cheering on a high note and yell It self hoarse. In the same number ol Europeans the shouting would be full of undertones and cadences. They would sing their enthusiasm.-NeN | York Sun.

Tho Luxury of Sugar.

Sugar was considered an article of luxury in Europe until tea and coffee became usual articles of diet. Sugar was then used to sweeten these bev- erages and so gradually came to have a prominent part in the daily diet Be- fore the days of sugar much more meat was eaten and the drinking of alcoholic beverages was much more common. The fair maiden who could not with impunity drink pint of ale for breakfast was unusual. Perhaps, in spite of the fact that most of US eat too much of it, sugar is blessing. Even oversweetened coffee and cereal covered with sugar sound more bene- ficial than pint of ale and half pound of beef for breakfast.-Bo Boston Herald.

An Embarrassinq Moment.

Sir Edward Chandos Leigh tells this anecdote in Bar. Bat and Bit" It was told to him by the Dowager Lady Cowper apropos of the days when all the joints were carved on the table:
 She was debutante, very shy, and her old host, who was about to carve a sirloin of beef, turned to her and said, Lady Anne, will you have upper or under?" Lady Cowper said to me that she had not the least idea what he meant. so in a weak moment she hazarded upper" Whereupon the host turned to the butler and said in a loud voice.
