SENATOR AvERY's NEW HOME
Equipped with all Modern COnven-
iences-Latest Architecture

Senator Avery IS building new
home that would grace the much
talk of country club district OF any
large city. The new home, located on
the Avery farm, two miles north OF
Wakefield, in the valley of the Re-
publican river, is being built OF
kledo matface tapestry brick with
the upper floors of ivory stucco'
The architect, Mr.. Arthur E. Fair
man of Manhattan, has planned q
house of simple colonial character
Although the home Is In the
country, far away from modern con-
yeniences, it will have a modern
lighting system, hot and cold water
lot water heat and a complete sew
er system.
The woodwork throughout the
home will be of the best quality
oak, and the ceilings in the dining
room, hall and living rooms will b'
beamed in a uniform style. TIT
roof of the home will be of greer
tile, and the color scheme through
cut for the exterior of the place ha
been selected with artistic taste.
This beautiful home is down in
little valley several miles from
Wakefield, but when one reache
the site he realizes that it is a beau
tiful location overlooking as
does the wide valley Of the Repub
lican river.
The Avery farm is one of the flu
. est in this part of the state an
, comprises over TOO acres. For al
, most forty years the Averys hav
, resided on this place and the ne'
home is not far from the origins
ste where the senior Avery home
, steaded many years ago.
1t is expected that the new HON
) will be ready for occupancy D
/. Christmas and when completed wi
. have cost in the neighbOrhood 9
$4,000.

life. In short, the school was a
strange and alien note in the pu-
pills life, disconnected with all the
interests of his early years, and
having little in common with the
work that he would have to wake
up when he was through school.
This inconsistent and unnatural
teaching is to be found in most
country high schools today. We
know that the very life of the
country village depends upon the
agriculture of the surrounding
country, and that almost every
business in the village is connect
ed with or dependent upon the
farms. We know that the high
school could not long exist if it
were not for the support Of the
farmers.
Still we find nothing in the
high~schoOl course of study in
sympathy with its rural surround
irgs. 1t draws its raw material
from the country and sends its
raw materials from the country
and sends its graduates back to
their homes without much help
with which to meet the problems
most of them will have to face in
Newark post., 1915-05-19

the people are beginning to recog-
nize this mistake and are taking
steps to place the educational en-
phasis where it belongs.
To be sure the curriculum is too
full. Pupils trying to do so much
can do nothing we'll. The trouble
is that we have set up course of
study for each pupil without re-
gard to that pupils particular
abilities or talents. Colleges have
demanded foreign languages and
higher mathematics for admlS-
sion, hence these subjects must be
pounded into the head OF every
high-school student, regardless of
that pupils talent, sex, race, or
previous condition of servitude. It
would be just as reasonable to try
to make the mall become lawyers
or doctors.
If the student is going to col
lege. we'll and good. Let him take
the foreign languages, for that
work is all right in its place and
should be in the program for all
those who want it. But it should
not be required of the great major
ity who need work that will be of
more practical good in later life.
Newark post., 1915-05-19

LIE.
On the contrary, there seems 10
be something in the spirit of mod
ern education that gives boys ana
girls the impression that learn
ing is to help them to get a living
without work. They seem to think
that because of their education
the homely tasks are beneath their
dignity. If it falls to their lot to
do those tasks their education has
been such as to make them disap-
pointed and dissatisfied with their
life work.
1t would appear that if the
school draws most of its boys and
girls from the country it should
send most Of them back to the
country better equipped to do
farm work and better prepared to
appreciate country life. Less than
two per cent of the pupils go to
college; the other ninety-elght
per cent drop out Of school some
where along the line. But the
average high school is spending
all its time preparing its pupils fol
college. The introduction of vO.
cational and agricultural courses
into the course of stury shows that
