BUTTE MINERS RECEIVE
ANOTHER PAY INCRE EASE

The 10000 miners OF the
Butte district have received an
other increase in pay of 25 cents
per day. They are to receive
$4.75 per day as long as cop
per remains above ~ 1-2 cents.
Employees of the smelters at
Anaconda and Great Falls also
get a 25 cent raise. The raise is
voluntary on the part of the min
ing companies. Butte now has
the largest pay roll in the world,
population considered.

There is some wild news flying
around about the farmer. Jo-
seph Tartigan, an official of New
York state, charges the farmers
of the west with a conspiracy to
understate the crop returns.
"KnOwingly concealed at least
Is per cent of their wheat CROP"
is the language used, although,
he adds, II do not charge the
farmers with being dishonest"
The ethical views of Joseph Harti-
gan r of small concern to the aver
age western farmer, but he should be
put in his place. He also charges
farmers with having secreted all sorts
of vegetables with the idea of dump
ing them on the market at inflated
prices. He says he travelled through
20 states and secured information SUI
perior to that obtainable by the grain
men with their large and mobile or

1t is probable that most of his in
formation was secured through the
plate glass of a Pullman a window,
and the idea that the farmer( like the
little red hen, can set and incubate
prices from August until November,
on a setting of rutabagas, onions, cab
bage and bread staples is a .chimera,

1876 Bushels of Wheat in Load,

The largest single load of wheat
ever hauled to Roundup was brought
to the Roundup Elevator company
recently by j. A. Roberts, a farmer
living near the old experiment farm.
1t amounted to 1876 bushels and 20
pounds. Roberts refused to sell it at
the market price, which would have
given him $4,000, but placed it in
storage to await a higher figure.

Here is one OF several revolution
airy" ideas expressed by Judge Brown:
"a boy today is submerged by too
much supervision. He is bossed in
the home, commanded on the street.
instructed in the schools, prayed over
in the church, guided in his play, un-
til about the only way in which the
boy can find himself is to violate some
law or tell somebody to go to hell"
There are at elast 450 things in
Keokuk that q boy or girl can do, but
you can only put about twenty or
thirty Of these things in trade
school. A vocational school binders
from the fact that it can only contain
about per cent OF the possible
avenues of effort in the school. The
possible efforts are selected by men
and women, not kids. The kid is put
to selecting one out of five things
then, instead of one out Of $50. Our
system Of education is misnamed. 1t
is a system of instruction only. Edu-
cation consists in the application of
principles learned through the accom-
plishment of a specific thing. No child
is educated until it performs a task
as a result Of instruction, or rather
as a conclusion Of instruction, so the
greatest fool on earth is the person
who possesses intellectual knowledge
with inability to perform an achieve
ment.
II don't care to be classed as an
tagonistic to the school system. The
basic fault OF the school system and
the reason why it can't be made flex-
ible enough to include this larger
achievement plan, is because OF its
senseless grading of pupils in first,
second and third grades and SO on. In
vocational and trade schools which
have been inaugurated, the people
who are Instructors are themselves
products of the grading system, and
the very moment they make vocation
al or trade schools or manual training
part of public school grading sys-
tenn they lessen its efficiency and
make it as distasteful to pupils as the

Different Ideas on Education,
Stopped Here for .
Short limo.
HE TELLS OF HIS IDEAS
Thinks Boys and Girls Should be
Given Something Practical to
DO In Their iii
Schooling.

Judge Willis Brown, head of the
boy city at Bay City, Nevada. was in
Keokuk today on his way from Mus
catine. Judge Brown stopped over
here to view the power plant, and al
so TO meet the local educators. He
left Keokuk this afternoon after hav-
ing had short conference with SUI
perintendent William Aldrich of the
Keokuk schools.
Judge Brown is head OF the Human
Achievement movement. Associated
in this movement is Perry G.. Holden.
formerly Of Ames, and other men
who have been making close studies
of the educational systems.
That a boy should learn to do some
thing besides getting lot OF memory
tests out OF school, Is the idea on
which Judge Brown works. In his
boy city, the boys do everything. A
group Of them form the electric light
company, and by the time they get
through their business they have
everything that the second year high
school can teach them but Latin, the
judge says. He insists that the school
should be the laboratory, and that the
boy should not be taught just a lot OF
memory tests. He thinks the public
school system is one Of instruction
alone.

CHILDREN
Government May Take Some Action,
Similar to the Plan in Force
In Sweden.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The case
of the children of unmarried parents
will be soon placed before the people
of the United States. The children's
bureau of the labor department is
now tabulating statistical reports
from all parts Of the country, bearing
on the problems Of illegimacy and a
comprehensive report will be issued.
"It will then be up to the public,
said Mrs. Helen l.. Sumner, assist
ant chief of the bureau, today. "Our
bureau will make no recommends
tons; it is purely statistical in char
acter"
The statistics will not include the
number or even the approximate
number Of illegitimate children in
the United States. Such figures are
impossible of attainment, the bureau
has found. But a great deal of In
formation on the subject designed to
make intelligent consideration OF the
subject possible, has been gathered. !.
While recommendations for special
legislation are not within the scope
of the bureau, the feeling exists, it
is understood, that some legislative
action such as the Swedish system
to bestow full legal rights on name
less children should be in force in
this country. Children born Of I'M
wed parents, often of love matches
and therefore, according to promin-
emit hygienists, very superior to the
average offspring of the marriage
state. bear the heavy burden through
no fault of their own, of the social
stigma, it is felt, without the bare
sinister of utter disregard by the
state. The bureau report will also
deal with the relation of illegitimacy
to dependency, infant mortality. priv
ate and public guardianship and men
tai deficiency.
