UTILIZING ALL THE
GROUND

This country is so new and so Civ
en- to thinking of farms as huge areas
for cultivation that the idea of utiliz-
ing every bit Of land as Europeans do,
makes little Roadway here. Inten.
sive cultivation is practiced, but on
the outskirts of eastern cities, where
some farmers are making good liv-
ings by intensive cultivation OF small
tracts of land; there are other tracts
just as good lying idle which at least
could be made to yield vegetable sup
rlies for several families and at the
same time pay a small rental II cul-
tivated by a few workmen in their
spare time. School childrens gardens
On vacant lots in various sections of
this city show the possibilities Of
such ventures. The old American
idea that every family with access to
a bit of land should have its own
garden was an excellent one. It
would be good to have 1t revived -

CHlLDREN'S READING

The modern school teacher hands
out an arithmetic book in one hand
and a standard novel in the other.
Teachers conventions have much to
say about intoxicating a taste for good
reading. A ninth grade boy who was
visiting here the other day said that
in his school they had to read DIV
er Twist, in week. Then they had
TO write a composition about 1t. In
many schools books like Cooper's nov
els are substituted for the old time
reading books.
In many ways this works well.
Children become familiar with the
printed page. They read easily and
get in the habit of using newspapers
and books regularly. In this they ac-
quire a superiority to many Of their
elders.
There are a great many people do
ing excellent work in the world who
never look into a book. They buy
magazines that advertise easy read
ing. Books look too formidable. This
works against mental alertness and
breadth Of intelligence. The schools
are doing their best to avoid turning
out this type of mind.
In some cases this emphasis leads
children to read too much. Many
boys spend most of their spare time
over story papers. They are absorb
ed in the improbable adventures OF
impossible herbes, becoming little
dreamers. Instead of doing things
themselves, they give attention to
now their favorite characters did
things. This makes them mere spec
tators in the game of childhood. 1t
is a passive life, and not merely dulls
initiative, but may impair health and
eyesight.
Here is a great problem for the
teacher Che bookish boy needs to
be drawn in the direction Of sport
and hand work. The boy of nonin'
tellectual tastes needs to become In.
timately familiar with the printed
page. The ideal school is the one
where this distinction Is recognized
and the tasks are fitted to the indi-
vidual pupil.

TUNA FISHING MAKES
 BLOCK ISLAND SPORT
One Party Landed Dozen Fish Aver
 aging 60 Pounds Each.

| If there is one fish more than any other that devotees of the rod and reel | love to go after, it is the tuna. called
 by some the horse mackereL This is the gamest of all deep water fish caught with rod and reel, and until
 about five years ago the tuna was pe- | culiar to the waters of the south, es- l pecially off the Florida coast and the \ warm currents of the Pacific off San | Francisco. About five years ago, how ever. the fish began to appear off Block | Island, and they evidently found the region to their liking, for they have remained there since.
 Block Island has ever been a favor
 ite summer resort for those seeking | relief from the heat and turmoil of the I city, and a favorite haunt of fishermen.
 Now it is even more so, and tuna. fish, ing is becoming one of the most favor | ed pastimes.
 Hardly day goes by but some fish
 ing smack sets sail from the island with a party of amateur fishermen on | board. equipped with rod and reel, and | seldom does that party return to the | island without a catch and tales of plucky fights put up by the fish before they were finally laid Tapping on the deck. Last Saturday Capt. Norman l Dodge took a party out in his boat
 and when the fishermen returned, after
 a fine sail and an exciting trip, i1 | which much sport was erammed, there were on the deck 12 big tunas, averag- l ing 60 pounds each.
 | The big catch inspired other fishing parties this week to go out and equal | the. catch. The sensation of catching | such big fish with rod and reel, and the | excitement of the combat which ensues after the big fish is hooked, is a sport | open to all who like fishing. Fisher men from other parts of the east are
 also arriving daily at the island to en- ! joy 1t.
 1 The weather at Block Island has been all that could be desired during l the present month. The bathing, which | is the finest in the world, was never better and the beach is thronged morn- l ing and afternoon.
 | The island is so far removed from ! the mainland that that fact may have f been the reason for its escape from l the big storms which have visited the 1 mainland in the past two weeks. The
 storms did not touch the island, a fact | which the vacationists, enjoying every
 minute of their stay there, appreciate l fully.
 Sailing parties leave the old harbo, | daily and with the weather that has | been prevailing a short cruise over the 1 face of the ocean is something which | everyone. even those prone to seasick- | ness, must enjoy.
 | The fishermen are reaping big har- I vest this season. as large hauIs o1
 mackerel bluefish and swordfish land- | ed each day indicate.
 | The season has been a good one witt | the hotel men. too. The hotels are al l thronged with merry parties, booked | for long or short periods, but no matter | how large the crowd or how big the | rush to the island, the hotel men there | know how to accommodate all corners I and all who seek a vacation on land | completely surrounded by the ocear l can find accommodation at Block Isl | and.
