PENNSY CLOSES DOOR
TO OUTSIDE MEN

Philadelphia, Oct. s.--For the first
time this season the University OF
Pennsylvania football coaches closed
the gates OF Franklin Field this after
noon TO everybody but players and
alumni. This is very unusual pro-
ceeding for so early In the season and
was probably caused by the very poor
showing that the regulars made yes
ierday against the scrubs and the fear
that the Pennsylvania state has
scout in Philadelphia.
Most OF the afternoon was devoted
to signal practice that included several
new plays. Up to now the Pennsyi-
vania team had not tried real trick
play. but today several were given the
men that are much OF It.

HOMES FOR RURAL TEACHERS
Communities Are Waking Up to the
Necessity Of Providing Adequate
Accommodations.

Teachers cottages are one of the
latest developments in education.
They are rapidly passing out of the
the experimental stage. however:
the state of Washington has more than
a hundred. apd Texas is approaching
that number. The plan has been de-
vised as result of the difficulty of
providing living arrangements for
teachers in rural sections. Board
ing round" is no longer popular with
either teacher or neighborhood Then
there are certain advantages connect
ed with the cottage. II gives a de-
sirable permanency to the position.
which is beneficial to the community
as well as to the teacher; and when
1t Is located near the schoolhouse it
affords opportunity for work in domes-
tic science. One county in = Alabama
has completed its sixth home for ru-
raj teachers. In one town the cot
tage was built by popular subscrip-
ton, has six acres OF land attached
to it. and is occupied by the teach
er at nominal rental. In some Of
these cottages several teachers live
together upon a basis OF cooperative
housekeeping. II Is claimed for the
cottage system by making rural life
more attractive the lack OF male teach
ers is being to some extent supplied

A Surgeon With Hsand.y

The doctor suggested that if could
let him have couple of men to direct
those wounded men who could walk he
would send them back to the Chateau
of st. Marguerite, where the ambul.
ances lay, three miles to the
rear.
He had been working at least forty.
eight hours, without cessation, but re.
fused to stop ministering to the
wounded, although by now his work
had been supplemented by the arrival
of two infantry surgeons. One of the
new medicos noticed that our surgeon
was in no condition to be on his feet
A temperature Of 1O3 degrees was
the record of the thermometer. Ex.
animation presently revealed bullet
wound.
Under crossexamination our little
doctor admitted he had been hit three
days before.-A Captain of Royal Irish

M HELPS
MOVE FOR HOME GARDENS
Widespread Idea to Interest Children
Of the Country in Econom-
ical Idea.

Any suggestion of introducing q
wider military training among
schools of this country Is bound to
meet with opposition. But one move
which will be almost as useful in
time of war is that being made by the
United States bureau of education to
make home-garden truck farmers of
the 100000 children who are now
in public schools in the United States.
OF course, the relation of such a
movement to war probably was far
from the minds of those who have
been fostering the movement 1t al
ready is being worked out in many
cities. On the statement of DR.. C.
D. Jarvis, Che specialist in charge of
the governments home-gardening sur
vey, the relation this movement. If ac-
complished thoroughly, would bear TO
war is strikingly shown. Doctor Jar
Wis estimates that If half the 100000
available school children were inter
ested in the work the increase in food
supplies would amount to S50,000000
annually This estimate is based upon
the supposition that $40 is the average
yield of a garden. though figures show
that many such gardens can earn s25,
$50 and even 500 yearly.
What such food supply would
mean to any European nation at this
time can easily be imagined. If war
called the young men from the farms
of this ration, even for a brief time.
these school gardens would be invalu-
able in supplying food to, cities which
otherwise might find themselves cut
off from ready supply.
Obviously the great benefit of the
work undertaken by the bureau of ed
ucation and its experts is planned for
times Of peace. But in a period when
many peaceful movements are viewed
from war angle, this plan cannot es-
cape the attention OF those who be-
leve preparedness is our best protec-
ton against foreign imbroglios.

Hungry Mans Mistake.

Prof. Sigmond Freud, the eminent

book, Psychopathology." AS an ex-

subconscious cerebration, he gives the
sollowing:
"A wealthy, but not very generous
American host, invited his friends to
an evening party. Everything went
well until about midnight, when there
was an intermission fer supper. To the
disappointment of many of the guests,
there was no real supper: instead,
they were regaled with thin sand
wiches and lemonade.

campaign, the conversation turned up
on the different candidates, and as the
discussion grew warmer, one of the
guests. an ardent Progressive, re-

Gardens for School Children.

There Is a strong economic truth at
the bottom Of the garden movement.
and its value has been recognized
long ago in European countries. which
have brought about different forms OF
development. Austria established ex-
perimental gardens In Its rural schools
as far back as 1869. Switzerland, Ger
many and England have a garden
course in their public schools, while
France goes farther and maintains not
only flower and vegetable gardens, but
includes orchards, forestry and bee
industry. The garden movement is
OF special Significance in cities where
large numbers OF children are turned
out on the streets to loiter, tease and
maraud.
Perhaps the greatest value OF school
gardens is in. teaching the child how
to make a garden at home and en-
couraging 1t to do so. 1t is here that
we are to attain the real value of In
struction and make It pay. The child
can materially reduce the cost of liv-
Ing by not only furnishing vegetables
during the summer but the surplus
can be stored for winter use. That
this can be done Is no longer a mat
ter Of conjecture, but many examples
can be given in proof.-Mrs. Alex
Caldwell, in Southern Woman's Maga-
zine.

HIGH STANDARD OF WRITING

the language he has used about the

he says:
Let me say, too, that since frequen-

tnan anything else, l count the newspa-
per men lucky because they are writ
ing all the time, and do not think so
meanly of their product as the present
popular disparagement would seem to
require. 1t is hasty work undoubted-
ly, and bears the marks of haste. But
in my Judgment in no period Of the
English language has there beeb so
high an average of sensible, V1vaciouS
and informing sentences written as
appears in our daily press.
with both good and evil results,
the distinction between book literature
and speech literature is breaking
down. Everybody is writing, appar-
emily in verse and prose; and IL the
higher graces of style do not often
appear, neither on the other hand do
the ruder awkwardness and obscur
ites. A certain straightforward Eng
