ENTHUSIASM IN SCHOOLS.
some Teachers Have Originality OF
Thought That Keeps Young
SterS Guessing.

A member of an old time school
committee was once coaching his
young teachers as to how they coulG
make success of school work. "All
You have to do is to interest them,
he said. Yes said the teachers,
but how would you go to work to
interest them?" The committee man
concluded that teaching school was
a bigger human problem than h , had
supposed.
The worst old fashioned uneraded
school turned out many excellnt pm
pills. Amy child that wants to Learn
will do SO, given a decent text book.
And our superb modern schools
turn out many dullards. They are
equipped with the best text books
and equipment. Physical conditions
are carefully considered. SO that the
children shall always be aided by
fresh air, good light, and all condi-
tiOns making toward mental alert
ness. Yet all these fail with great
numbers of students.
Some teachers have an origina lily
of thought that keeps the youngsters
constantly guessing. Internationally
the ways Of learning are made to
seem novel and fascinating, But the
majority of teachers have no such
exceptional gifts.
In the old time school the cnildIen
stood in a row ard the one who mis-
sed word in the spelling lesson Us;
his place. The head of the 1858 was
a highly priced distinction. Probably
this old time spur of competition IS
the best reliance for the average
teacher.
Some children car 3e stirred by
appeal to the money motive. They
can be made to see thai thc educated
man earns better pay tran the IN
educated 1t is a coarse moti re but
legitimate to some extent BIT there
are little dreamers who live only in
the present, and care nothing for
such mature Indictment Probably
you can arouse their interest only
by a desire to compete with their
Schoolmates. The old way Of plac-
ing the best pupils at the head OF
its class had a tangible appeal to the
most sluggish mind

Tourist Registers
On National Forests
Becoming Popular

Early this season tourist registers
we're installed at the main road en-
frances to the Intermountain Nation.
al Forests. The registers are con
veniently placed in mounted, wealth.
erproof boxes, over which notice is
found offering the assistance and co.
operation Of the local Forest Service
organization to those who, upon en-
tering the forest, register their name,
address and destination.
The travelling public has made very
extensive use Of the registers during
the summer, extra books having be.
come necessary on several of the
more heavily travelled national fer
est roads.
An incident occurring on the Cache
forest, in northern Utah, illustrates
the beneficial use to which these reg
listers are put. On August Is an EN-.
Urgency telephone call for people OF
Tremonton, known to be spending an
outing In the mountains, was receiv'
ed at the Tony Grove Ranger Sta
tion. These people had made use of
the tourist register, and 1t was thus
possible for the ranger to quickly
determine the location Of their camp.
Ranger Henderson was at the time
unable to travel, but fortunately Mr..
Hendersons father, Mr.. Chandler was
visiting at the station, and rode up
the canyon seven miles to deliver the
urgent message.
The extensive system Of Service tel,
ephone lines and its wide spread but
close knit organization make 1t pos
sible to render many services OF this
kind. which not only are Of consider
able benefit to the traveller and camp
er, but also bring home more forcibly
the advantages OF the national for
ests as recreation and vacation
