WILL CARE FOR CHILDREN 0f
 GERMAN CITIES
Empress Sponsors Plan to Provide Sustenance for
 Suffering Tots.

The Hague, Netherlands, April 30. -(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The town-bred children of Prussia are to emigrate to the coun- try this summer, not in parties but in veritable armies, if the latest move ment, under the patronage of the German empress, Augusta Victoria, is successful. From the back streets of grim, war-becloude.! Berlin, and other big cities, they are to be trans ferred for two months to the smiling meadows, farms and villages of the open countryside; from the gnawing want of the towns to the sources of Germany's food production.
 The Prussian ministers of the in- terior, of education and of agricul- ture have jointly addressed a procla nation to the population, where they declare that much greater efforts than last year must be made this summer to accommodate such chill dren. They sum up the advantages which the public interest derives therefrom. Fathers at the front and mothers at home are relieved of a crushing burden of care if they know thelf children are well cared for, and their own strength is thereby rein forced. The mothers and sisters of the youngsters get more opportunity to undertake work in the interests of the fatherland. The large towns are relieved of the care of feeding the children, so that there is more food for adults, particularly in the indus trial regions. These are some of the benefits enumerated.
 A society has been established in Berlin, under the presidency of the burgomaster of Charlottesburg, with branches throughout the country The empress is to be the patroness. Lists are being drawn up for persons who will take one or more children, either free of charge or on payment of twelve cents a day, for about six weeks. The children may be used for light field work"

The world applaudss the man or

The world applaudS the man or woman who does things, but rarely ever stops one minute to consider worth while anything one might. say unless that saying is backed up by concrete work. This is the one req son, more than anything else, why I have never tried to cultivate the art of speaking I rather feel that in going about the country, from time to time, giving the activities of my people of the higher sort to the pub lie through the columns of the great daily journals that I am doing the race more distinct service than if I were speaking every day in the year. So this one we'll grounded reason, coupled with my inane em- barrassment before an audience con- tributes much to my refusal time an1 again to make speeches when I am called to do so.
 So I have visited the Branch Nor nal college without even letting the head of that institution or anyone else connected with the school know that I was deeply interested in the work that is being done there.
 I noticed particularly that on th,, part of all of the teachers, there is a strain of sacrificial earnestness that, strange enough, one does not always see in most of our institutions of learning Another important thing I noticed was that the students get there one thing that is perhaps, best of all and that is the knowledge that they do not know. When one really finds out that he does not know: that he needs to know something, then he is in a pretty good way to find out those very things that he ought to know; some of the greatest mistakes we have yet encountered have come out of our educational system.
 Now, at the Branch Normal college the students are put into the direc- ton of finding out that they do not know, so that when they leave there, they will at least be put into the at titude to learn from their environ ment, their contact with others, from books, newspapers and magazines.
 There are many things that they will learn out in life that will never be taught in the school room. Speak CTS may come and speakers may go; teachers may instruct, lecture and philosophize, but with all that teach ing, with all that lecturing and phi- losophizing, there will come a time when the individual is left to his own power to get around difficult situ- ations.
 Education does not consist of so many years in given place, under given number of teachers. Educa- tion is the sum total ol all our past training and experiences applied to the adjustment of our present diff culties. Education is the force that

 Education ought to make it possi- jble only for all of our institutions. civic, religious, educational and fra ternal, to be managed and controlled by honest and upright men. Educa- tion should make it possible for all our homes to be under the guidance and direction of Cody women. When education fails to do this then it is failing far short of it's purpose. It is because of the belief in our schools to do these things that men and agencies are willing to pour out their money for their maintenance.
