A GREAT LEADER GONE

Every time a man of the cali
Der Of John Mitchell dies, he
whole world loses. John Mitch
ell was more than a union labor
leader. lie was a leader of civ
ilization.
The former president of the
United Mine Workers Of the
World was a dynamic type Of
Americanism, who led in a cause
he knew to be right but who fur
thered his cause by only methods
that were fair to his opposition.
His first devotion was to the men
he led and not one Of those thous-
ands but can say that his devo-
tion never tagged, says the Me
Alester News-Capital.
Mitchell did not please the rad
icals Of the country. lie had
nothing in common with them.
The organization he perfected
was built upon justice to all and
even those who had other views
had to admit that they could
trust him to do the square thing
at all times.
He was opposed to strikes as
general thing and resorted to
them only as a last resort.
Through his efforts much infiam-
able dogma was slain in its in
ceptiop in his own organization.
Mitchell knew his men for he
came 9nSiwitll them. His alma
mater Was the broad school of ex-
perienec annA Tie ,honors he car
ried off were of The highest.

mourning the loss Of John Mitch

THIS IS EDUCATION

We had read in the paper
about some sort of teachers meet
ing being in progress at the ar
mory here and County Supt
Shepard had invited us to take a
peep at the bunch. We under
stood that a course of instruction
on the teaching of agriculture was
being given and when we went
to the armory we naturally eX-
pected to see somebody giving a
lecture or conducting a class
Imagine our surprise when, on
entering the ROOM we saw what
appeared to be a very busy work
shop. We saw two or three doz-
en benches, all supplied with ear
penter' s tools, and company Of
men and women were vigorously
welding saws, hammers, chisels,
etc.
What's this?" we inquired, |
and we were Informed that it was
a part of the course in agricul- |
ture that was being given under
the direction of DIR. p. G. Holden.
1t was explained that the teach
ers were learning the lessons
which they are expected to inn
part to their pupils.
A new kind of education? Well,
it did seem so, but of course the
principle of it was one that has
long been advocated by educa-
tors. DR.. Holden had simply put
into practice the idea of learn
ing to do by doing. Instead Of
telling the students how to do
.he thing, he was having them to
10 it and when these teachers 90
1ack to their school rooms they
will proceed to use the same
Methods with their pupils.
The carpenter work which we
saw going on was only one part
# DR. Holden7s course for teach
rs. The plan is to give similar in
in all the lines pertain
ng to agriculture. 1t certainly
ooks like real education.

that they can readily find jobs in the

thousands of ex-service men have
gone there, thereby taxing to the ut
