FEDERALs TRAIN HERE,

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 26.-It is prob
able that the Brooklyn team of the
Federal League will have its period of
spring training at Browns Wells, a
health resort hotel several miles from
Hazlehurst, and about forty miles be-
low Jackson. Arrangements with this
end In view are now being negotiated,
and If carried out, 1t will offer some
thing new and rather unique in the
training of baseball team.
The hotel at Browns Wells is sew
eral miles from the railway station,
located in virgin pine forest, and the
Brookfeds will have no opportunity to
indulge in any of the ordinary forms
Of dissipation or recreation that man.
ayers regard as a menace to success
full spring training. for the simple rea
son that they will be conspicuous by
their absence at that isolated spot
The only pastime that will be possible
for the players will be the customary
evening games of draw poker, under
the surveillance Of the manager.
Arrangements are being perfected
at Gulfport for the spring training OF
the Detroit Tigers, and Manager Jen
nings and his crew will reach that
point early in March for an exhibition
game at Gulfport between the Tigers
and the New York Giants for April
6, just before the Tigers leave for the
North. 1t is possible that the Cubs
and Tigers will also play game at
taht point.

MILITARY TRAINING
IN BRITISH SCHOOLS.

London, Jan. 26.-The question OF
military training in the schools is now
live one over all Britain. and the
chief agitators are not army men but
teachers. Lack of proper material for
officers to take the place of those
killed and injured at the front and to
supply Kitchener's huge new army
and the inadequately differed terri
torial force. Is one of the most serioun
problems of the war. All of the high
or schools have been called on fol
subalterns. as the British Tommy" Oh
jects to serving under any officer no,
born a gentleman. The teachers feel
that they were In sense to blame
for not having given their students
some elementary training further thar
that Of the small student officers
corps.
At a meeting of the Incorporated
Association of Headmasters in the
London Guildhall. F. H. Templar said
in regard to the New Zealand system
of universal military training in tn,
schools: while conscription produces
militarism military training destroys
1t. The citizen soldier is man whose
every interest is bound up with the
maintenance of-peace."
Another speaker pointed out thai
military drill and rifle shooting wer
compulsory in the Swiss schools, vel
he asked who could accuse the Swis.
of militarism.
A resolution declaring that military
training in the schools would save the
country from having to improvise an
army in war time by providing a reser
voir of partly trained men, was passed
with only few dissenting votes.

BRITISH HAVE WILL;
GERMANS DECREASE

London, Jan. 26.-The Lokalanzieger
of Berlin, discusses the fighting quail
tiles Of the allied armies. According
to Reuter- TRANSACTIONS, it considers the
Walloons to be of slight military value
but says that the Flemish regiments
have proved themselves to be worthy
descendants of their ancestors who
won the victories of Egmont and VIII
liam Of Orange.
Great Britain's efforts" it adds, "al-
though accompanied of course by bluff
regarding the creating of big army
proves will to conquer which we
honor in an enemy"
The French soldiers, the Lokalanzie.
ger says, have proved a surprise. 1--WE
have seen," 1t proceeds, little of the
supposedly French theatrical heroism
and reckless bravery Of every danger.
On the contrary they have displayed
estimable and praiseworthy military
qualities. Their field artillery consists
of good guns and performs excellent
work and at their heads stands an
army commander who though he has
won no decisive victory has secured
name in the list of most famous
generals"
The Russians, the critic said, had
displayed an unexpected capacity to
utilize the terrain and an accuracy in
artillery. "The fact that we found
none of the $4,000 enemy wounded in
Lodz, they all having been removed In
good time and transported to Warsaw
and the further fact that Immediately
after we compelled them to retreat
they offered such a stubborn defense
are proofs that the Russian command
has learned much from celebrated re-
treats of Kuropatkin In Manchuria."

A Country Editors Experience
By w. E. PAXTON

NJ OF long ago | attended Gospel Team
| " meeting. AS l sat and listened to the
experience of the men who were
talking heard of what they had missed as
children, because they did not have the OPP
pOrtun1ties for soul development that is
corded the boys and girls of today, | grew
reflective. | thought of my own boyhood on
a farm in Marion county, near Burns, still
occupied by a mother who endured priva-
ton unthinkable to keep the boys in the
old district school. | remembered how that
mother would do without a pair of
shoes to keep white bread in the dinner
bucket, when enjoyed cornbread for the
farmstead dinner and mush and milk with
potato soup occasionally for the eventide
meal.
| remembered the endless number of
terms of school from which myself and
others received little benefit, because
the teacher poor disCiplinarian, or be-
cause the teacher, being round faced, gold
en- haired doll would have love affair on
her hands and perform her duties in an
distracted manner. Then L would remember
how a teacher came to old district No. "a,
who made everyone hit the ball and of the
wonderful interest we took and the progress
made And through it all, through the
few good school terms we enjoyed, | was
awarded a Kansas Common School Di-
ploma, which | have framed and hung In
my room, it marking the end of my school
education; for l am among the countless
number of those who never went to
graded school a day in their lives.
AS listened to the members of the Gospel
Team tell Of how they regretted their mis-
spent youth, there arose in my heart a de-
sire to arise from my seat and tell the peo-
pie of the state of Kansas my story; of what
l missed in my youth, because of the wrong
plan of country schools then and still in
operation. And 1 going to do it now,
with the sole and only hope that what l
may say will be received in a kindly spirit
and be the cause Of many districts shaking
off the shackles of the established order and
emerging into a new day of school work
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-09-11

For 1 know whereof 1 speak, when I say
that no school district in Kansas need work
under the old plan.
There is no legitimate reason why every
school should not be at least a graded school
and in most cases, have a high school in
connection.
l visited my mother the old home
stead not long ago. She had the same well
come smile to receive me, and during the
evening we talked of the old days of snow,
mud, slush and school. The old home

country districts. "
Among the many objections to doing
away with the rural district school for the
consolidated township school we find
these: 4 do not want the township plan,
because the school house is within a mile of
my farm. To replace it with big school
building would hurt the value of my land
Rather selfish objection, but good? 81
think it would be hardship to have a child
ride six seven miles to school; it would
be so long on the road Yet the child
is allowed to walk a mile two miles to
school through mud and snow, or miss
school on account of bad weather and the
lack of a closed, warm, coy carriage with
competent driver.
Il am afraid it would increase my taxes
Here you have the real, sole and most
hard headed of all the objections to consol-
idated school-fear of expense.
1t is the most foolish of them ALL
The man who will not hesitate to increase
the expense of farming with gang p1ows
traction engines, silos and other good and
useful articles, because they increase his
profits, does hesitate to increase his school
tax, slightly, when the child would get
more than fifty per cent better training in
the new form school than he does in the old
district school. The farmer, apparently
would prefer to go on spending dollars for
which he gets less than fifty cents in return,
to increasing the amount of the expendi-
ture that he would get one hundred per
cent the whole amount.
The day of the little two-by-four school
house should have passed in Kansas long
ago. 1t is passing slowly. 1t has out
lived its usefulness. Muddy roads are not
conducive of education; building without
pictures, without books, without 1abora-
tory, where some girl just out of high
school, with ideas or special training,
burdened with a multiplicity of duties, acts
teacher, has economic claim public
expense to justify its further retention.
In the Burns district the consolidated
school was obtained because good men
backed and worked for it G. w. Durham,
Methodist minister, J. w. Barker, leading
stockman, ]. L. Crawford, old country
teacher and hardware dealer, and hundred
others worked for it.
Ministers, business and farmers owe
it to their community, their boys and girls,
to that they have the very best educa-
tiona1 advantages the age offers. If they
do not strive. to obtain better schools they
are not measuring up to the highest stand
ard of good citizenship.
You do not find good churches where you
do not find good schools.
You do not find good business houses
where you do not find good schools.
You do not find good, unselfsh men
where you do not find good schools.
And a good school is the most modern
conception of the time in which you live

IN SCHOOLING

School District The children growing up
on the farm which l was reared will be
picked up at the farm home door of morn
ing, hauled four miles to school in a
cred wagon, with a driver under contract,
the the teachers, to maintain order,
deposited at a magnificent school building,
enter the grades and go on through high
school, with their health conserved with
more attention from teachers than 1 ever
received with better class spirit, with ath
letics with many departments of training of
which I have heard but never experienced.
And they will be enabled, however poor the
family may be, to finish up high school and
at an age when they can, by their own eff
forts, go on through college.
l feel the loss of what those farm boys
now have attained. l am now country
editor. Is there living who will say
l do not need the high school education
denied me? Most high schools have domes-
tic science department. l served in the
Philippine Islands and many times the boys
were forced to do their own cooking. L
think it IS conservative statement to say
that nine out of ten of those Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Nebraska boys in the SD Inf.
u. S. " had no notion of how to prepare
digestible meal of bacon, coffee and hard
tack and that many of them were discharged
as incurably i'll because of lack of knowl-
edge relative to eating. Today this nation
is facing possible wars. And this very lack
of preparedness will be one of the most dis
astrous factors our government will have to
contend with. 1t is not economy to
little school tax, maintain poor school and
have your boy die a result of your false
economy.
Consolidated schools should be universal
in Kansas.
We have made more rapid strides in Kan
in most lines of human endeavor. Our
minds have been open to conviction most
important questions, but have lived up
to our possibilities in the advancement of
educational work?
Our best educators say Anyone
familiar with conditions cannot say other
wise. Fifty years without progress is too
long.
On the higher institutions of learning in
Kansas have expended much money, but
not nearly what could afford, not near
1y what we really should. When should
spend freely and without question, stop to
investigate, to wonder if it will prove profit
able investment for our boys and girls.
And where, pray, is the woman
in the whole state of Kansas who stops and
figures if modern methods of farming will
pay, if modern methods of stock raising will
pay?
True we should be more concerned about
the boys and girls than the live stock;
but when thing has been demonstrated in
a stock growing way agricultural way,
we accept it without question and make the
investment the same way.

efficiency 1iOht heat and ventilation has
