factors more of a general nature that
do WELD broad influence on the pro-
gress Of the school population.
One of the most important of these
is the course of study
What do the children study at
school? Are the books interesting and
practical2 Are the children interested
in what they are doing. or is the work
of formal nature calculated 10 pro-
duce wooden" instruction and lock

The answers TO these question have
an important bearing on the age-grade

the course of study is of formal type.
so many pages of arithmetic. so many
definitions in grammar, so many words
of spelling, TO be transferred from the
book to the childs memory, we lose
sight of one of the most important
functions of the school, which is, to
train child to think clearly. to form
good judgments, and to use the in
formation gained from the books.

SCHOOL CHILDREN DO NOT
PROGRESS THROUGH GRADES

The graph. figure 3. shows the per-
eentage Of children remaining in each
grade as calculated on the average
number in the first three grades. AS
we go up in the grades the numbers
grow less and less, until in the seventh
grade but "a per cent remain.
These figures prove beyond a doubt
that children do not progress regular
ly through the grades. That elimina-
ton is heavy and begins early, and
that reorganization is necessary at
once il our schools are ever to be put
on the plane of other efficient systems
OF America.
While there are a number of factors
that may influence the progress of
pupils in school system such as, lack
of use of English speech: backward
ness or low mentality; bad home con-
ditions; malnutrition, weak eyes. ade-
noids. poor hearing, and other physi-
cal defects; these are more or less of
a local nature and should not influence
a widely distributed system such as
ours TO any considerable extent

learning supposed uses of tools. for
which there is no use outside of the
school room itself: weeks. months. and
even years are spent in drilling on
problems of type no man in practi-
cal life ever solves. and which can be
OF no use TO anyone except a school
teacher.
Arithmetic and formal grammar are
greatly over-emphasized in such
courses; reading is taught as an end
in itself, instead of as tool TO unlock
biography. history. and literature, and
to lead TO pleasure and enjoyment;
the composition work is dull, formal,
and unproductive: geography is book
geography. while the world before the
eyes OF teacher and children remains
unread and almost unknown.
Anticipation of the examinations
dominates the work of instruction;
fact reviews are frequent: teachers
keep lists of the questions for years
preceding. and carefully coach their
pupils on the points it is thought may
be asked for, and the standing of

EXAMINE YOUR INNER SELL
Possibly There May Be Machinery
There That Can BE Utilized to
Good Purpose.

Strange forces give men purpose and
Jar them into action. Love, pride, sor-
row, fear-all sorts of hidden feelings
are responsible for the shaking of men
out of ruts and into fields of undream-
ed of achievement. More than one
big success finds its real origin in the
personal disappointment Of some man
perhaps over college education he
couldn't get, or toy he couldn't af-
ford, or trip he was not able to make.
OF course some men are downed by
such emotions, but others are made
by them.
Most men have perfectly good boilers
in them, and fine equipment. But so
many never get up steam and go any
wherel They don't want to go any
where. They just stand still-waiting
for call from within to "get move
on" The call is likely to come any
time. If your call is late in coming,
why not ring up your inner self and ask
him If he can't think of some place he
would like to go? It's shame to have
all that expensive machinery and not
use it.-American Magazine.

FEW PERSONS REALLY HAPPY
Whatever the Cause, the Great Major
Ity of People Fail to Make the
Best OF Their Lives.

The other night we Glanced to ask
an eminent physician of New York city
his opinion as to the number of people
who were truly happy. His rather
dogmatic reply was:
"About one in a hundred"
And this was not the opinion OF q
pessimist, but of a most radical OPP
timist.
We wonder If this opinion is shared
by others. 1t does not mean, of course,
that ninety-nine people out of a hun
bred are deeply unhappy-that would
be absurd. But there is no doubt that
q great many people are quite unhappy
O good deal of the time, perhaps not
half the time. but enough rather to
cloud their lives.
We should like to know the opinion
of physicians generally. More aud
more people go to the doctors to teii
them their troubles. The physician of
today takes tile place of the confess
sional of yesterday.
Then, too, there is the new applica-
tion of psychology to the field OF inedi-
cine-the so-called psycho-analysis,
which is so rapidly taking its place as
an important part, literally, of the
medical pharmacopeia. This new
science has given a wonderful insight
into our subconscious selves and re-
veais how far that subconscious self
really dominates our lives and deter
mines the amount of happiness which
we really get out of this confused well
ter of existence.--Ncw York Tribune.

Sand Dunes in eascony.

One of the most interesting and re-
unarkable of the many regions for the
observation of sand dunes lies between
Bordeaux and Bayonne, in Gascony.
The sea here throws every year upon
the beach, along line of 100 miles in
length, some 100000 cubic yards of
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface parti-
cles from the westward slope, where
they are again deposited. and the en-
tire ridge by this means alone moves
gradually inward. In the course of
years there has thus been formed a
complex system of dunes. all approx
mately parallel with the coast and
with one another and of all attitudes
up to $50 feet. These are marching
steadily inward at rate Of from three
TO six feet a year, whole villages hav-
ing sometimes been torn down TO pre-
vent burial and rebuilt ar distance.

the schools and teachers is in a large
part determined by the promotional
records. The almost inevitable result
is that both teachers and pupils lose
sight of the real aims in school work
and the purposes of education; the
important ends of instruction are sub
ordinated to the examining of facts;
the real abilities of teachers and chill
dren are in no way measured by the
results; the retardation and elimina-
ton OF pupils in the system is high,
and the paralysizing effect OF such an
administration of instruction extends
through all branches of the school
system and is evidenced in the charac-
ter of the final output of the schools .
public School Administration by E.
p. Cubberly)
The course of study as heretofore
administered in the schools of the
county greatly over-emphasized tech
nical grammar and formal arithmetic
Little children on my first visit to the
schools were reciting long and difficult
definitions. the meaning of which few
understood. while the written and
spoken language of the grades
were far below standard, and
the primary reading was un-
usually poor.
Children in the third and
fourth grades were working,
or trying to work, fractions
and decimals of such denom-
nations as are seldom ever
encountered by the best bust
ness houses in Baltimore
City, while they were COM
PEELED to count on their fin
gers or with their pencils to
add simple combinations.
Almost everywhere TIL e
children were below the
standard in the four funda-
mentals and seldom were
children found working the
kind of problems. that the
average man has TO work
daily.
The first year high school
(106 presently when given the
eight-minute test in addition,
now accepted everywhere as
a standard, made score of
four right, while over so per
cent of the problems worked
we're wrong. The standard
score for an eight grade is
eight right with 23 per cent
wrong. But three children in
the first year high school
class were up to standard,
while six were unable to add
a single problem right.

OBJECT TO MEATLEss DAYS
Men Become Indigant and Leave Res
tauTant When Denied Meat.

Objection of patrons to the practice
of the Imperial Hotel and the Silver
Grill to not serve meats on Tuesdays in
compliance with the request of the U.
5. food administration, has been regis
tered by certain patrons of these places.
These persons evidently feel that ,hough
the country asks that no meat be eaten
on tuesdays they are privileged charac
ters, and that their cases are excep-
tions.
The cafes of Grangeville. recogniz-
ing the government IS appeal have re-
fused to serve meats on Tuesday since
the food administration program was
outlined. Every Tuesday, restaurant
men say, some Of their patrons become
indignant when they are refuss meat,
and last Tuesday several patrons left
the eating establishments
Recently a man thought he would de
feat the meatless day program by carr
ing a raw steak to a restaurant in
Grangeville. He asked that it be cook
ed, but his request was denied He was
told that the restaurant had plenty of
meat in the kitchen, but as patriotic
duty would serve none on Tuesday. The
man took his steak and departed, and at
another place, where he sought to have
the meat cooked, it is said he met with
similar results. If he ate meat on that
Tuesday, he either cooked the steak
himseI or ate it raw.
