Learn, and How.
bRcINe SYSTEM IS WRONG
|s...,ces Between Information,
Knowledge and Wisdom, and the
/ Value Of Experience as
Teacher Of Children.
av slponIE M. eRUENsERe.

IT not true that every parent
wishes to give his children the full
neiit of all the accumulated wisdom
the past2 And 1t is quite natural
norents to do SO, since they are
enough to realize how wasteful 1t
for the child to get all his expert
20 Mt first hand. To learn, and learn,
learn, while children are still
h,nr and capable of learning; to
rn while they are still young and
kte incapable of doing anything
Il worth while-thut would seem to
the ideal life for children. Yes,
all means, have the children learn.
But learn what? And learn how?
rbese questions do not seem to have
keiyed quite so much attention us
ey really deserve. We have been
oycrawed by the vastness of the
krld's learning, and we have been so
hscious of the fact that the heap is
Instantly growing, that we have al
ged ourselves to look upon the
'pwledge of the ancients as sacred
basury that must be preserved ut all
1t. and that must be injected into
lldren to the limit of their capaci-
:.
Without in any way disparaging the
lue of accumulated experience, it is
u to ask whether we have been al
kether wise in our pursuit of learn
k-for the children's sake. Is 1t
] true that we have too readily ac-
bted the written word as something
Srth while in itself? Have we not
commonly confused information
th knowledge, and knowledge with
bdom?
In recent years there seems to have
en wave of frantic fear among
)ny conscientious parents that the
kvailing methods of instruction are
J slow to give the children all of the
eded learning. Or perhaps 1t has
en a keen realization of the tremen-
bs store that has to be gathered in
|ew short years. At any rate there
been an eager searching for
thod of filling the chIldren's knowl-

sports hat de luxe. The shape Of its
crown and the delicate gray Of the soft
felt, make delightful background for
the fascinating landscape which ap-
pears to have lit upon the hat with
considerable force. Surely nothing
less than an earthquake could have
produced square clouds, rickety little
house and an animal that might be
either a sheep or a COW. A. road, such
as all five-year-old artists put in their
landscapes, wiggles across the fore
ground, while the background is given
over to bushes and birds equal in size.
These marvellous things are outlined
with colored worsteds and make an
adorable hat. whose only other adorn-
ment is n binding of fur.
An all-round hat-conservatiye and
becoming-belongs in every wardrobe.
Nothing could qualify better than the

native potato just at this time. Wash
and dry the potatoes, place them in
hole in Il bank of ashes, cover, and
then place shovelful of fine Goals
over the ashes. When the potatoes are
done. serve with butter.
Fried Sweet Potatoes.-Peel and
slice the potatoes rather thick, sprinkle
with salt, then pour hot water over
them and let them stand few min
utes before beginning to fry. Now put
them, two layers at a time, in an iron
frying pan with little hot fat which
is very hot before putting in the po.
tatoes Cover and let stand until the
potatoes begin to soften, then put them
over the direct heat with the cover off
to brown. Drain on piece of paper,
put into dripping pan and keep them
hot until ready to serve.
Sliced Potato Pie.-Line an ordinary
granite baking dish four inches deep
with biscuit crust, bottom and sides
Slice ordinary potatoes one-fourth of
an inch in thickness, better not too
thin, and fill the pan fairly full, on
each slice place good-sized piece of
butter, sprinkle with granulated sugar
and dust with nutmeg, adding a few
cloves here and there. When the pan
is nearly full, fill the spaces with wa.
ter, and as it settles add little more
to barely cover the potatoes. On top
of the potatoes place the butter, place
in moderate oven and cook until a
straw will pierce the potatoes. then
remove and put on latticed crust
sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg and
bake until the crust Is brown. This
is a favorite dish with the old-time
Southerners.
Sweet potatoes baked and pressed
through a ricer are used in steamed

Capt. David Doughty, age seventy
three, of Bailey's island, Casco bay,
Maine, recently went to his lobster car
to accommodate a woman who desired
two Holsters. He capsized his punt,
and in getting on the lobster car was
Obliged to abandon his rubber boots.
Then he happened to overturn the car

1t has been found that where chill

caught up on the learning side, and
were healthier and happier than the
