Ninifred Black Writes on Teaching by Stuffing

I'm afraid I'm hopelessly out Of
sympathy with the modern method
of stuffing children with a lot Of
knowledge they can't possibly as
simulate. and forcing their protest
ing and amazed parents to help at
the job.
How many hours did you go to
school when you were a child?
Weren't you tired when 8 o'clock
came? Didn't your muscles ache
for a chance to stretch and didn't
you feel as if you'd burst if you
couldn't yell at the top Of your
voice for a minute or two?
What did you learn at school,
anyhow? Reading, writing, and
arithmetic, history, spelling and
geography. Did you have a picture
Of the pampas in your geography,
showing men wearing tall straw
hats. and riding burros?
Were you really vitality excited
about what year so and so declared
war on this and that? And, to
save your life, can you remember
now half of the things you had to
The Washington times., 1917-09-29

But, somehow, 1 don't believe
you ever do anything with any boy
or any girl by stuffing them with a
lot of facts they do not and cannot
understand.
Six hours a day is enough time
for a growing child to spend in
mental labor. l do not think any
school board, school superinten-
dent, school principal or plain
teacher who tries to push my child
ahead so fast that that child has
to study at night when it should
be reading or playing parchesi or
sitting around the lamp telling
stories or listening to them.
Do you know what I'd do if I
were that policeman? I'd keep
my children from studying at night
and let them drop back a grade if
thev had to.
There's something in life besides
passing a grade" If l were that
policeman I'd try to see that my
children had time to find out what
1t was.

Backache

In spite of the best care one takes
Of ono ELF, any part of the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
"The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state of health, I"
says DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, ''is to
drink plenty of pure water and obtain
from your favorite pharmacy a small
amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist" Anuric is mex
pensive and should be taken before meals.
You will find Anuric more potent than
lithia, dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIlshness! Lift your corns

It's like magicl

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying 1t or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

TO NEED PLENTY OF BEANS
Some Should be Grown in Every
Home Garden in Kansas, Says
Professor Ahearn.

Beans should be grown in every
home garden, this year, believes NJ. F.
Ahearn, professor of horticulture in
the Kansas State Agricultural College.
Beans are a warm weather crop and
may be planted any time after the
ground becomes fairly warm and when
there is no danger of frost after the
plants are through the ground, point
ed out Professor Ahearn. The grow
ing season extends from May 10 to
September Is.
There are three distinct kinds of
beans-string, green shell and field.
The pods of the first type are used
While young and tender When they
are older the beans are taken out and
cooked alone. Any average soil is
good for the cultivation of this first
variety and a succession of paintings
should be made
The green shell or bunch bean, as it
is more commonly called, is planted in
hills and pole is placed by each hill
on which the vine may climb. This
variety is sometimes planted by hills
of corn, thus doing away with the ne
cessity for the poles.
Red kidney and white pea, or navy
bean, are the two varieties classed as
field beans, or dry shell beans. These
are never taken from the pods until
fully matured. These are more often
a field crop, the planting, harvesting,
and threshing being done by ma
chinery. There is much danger of field
beans rusting if there is a large
amount of rain and heat and if the
weather is dry, the pods will not fill,
due to imperfect pollination.
