inspecting the public schools of this
city for the last few days. departed
this afternoon for Cincinnati. Ohio
He spent this morning at the bureau

sioner of education on the work OF
the bureau. While here the visitor
was located at 2O09 G street north

American schools stand very high
and have a great deal to teach Euro
pean educators" DR.. Hertzberg said
today. Il have been to New York
Philadelphia and Baltimore, and am
starting west this afternoon. with
stops planned for Cincinnati, Chicago
Gary and other cities.
Impressed With system.
Il am much impressed with the edu-
cational system in use in this country
a system which gives the pupils ar
opportunity to develop their natural
faculties and select the courses best
fitted for their individual tendencies
The school schedule is of an elastic
nature, accommodating itself to the
personal inclinations of the pupils
1t introduces much material which, sc
far, has been comparatively unknown
in Norwegian schools-lesSonS III
civics and in various activities.
1.-The American method OF instruc-
ton is of particular interest. 1t makes
the pupils think for themselves. intro
duces discussions during school hours
and lays special stress on developing
the reasoning faculty in the pupils. The
old method of lesson grinding is COM
pletely abandoned.
Likes Student Government.
81 am MUCH impressed>alsd with the
success of student government in
American schools. The students them
selves attend to discipline, order, n.y.
giene and the like in the schools. This
must develop in them n social spirit
that will be of benefit in building the
society of the future.
81 find that America is leading the
world in experimental pedagogics. Here
is found a number of new ideas AND
ideals in the educational field which may
be determining factor for the develop
ment of the schools in the years to
come Many of these ideas ] expect
to make use of when l go home, in an
attempt to create a new school in Nor
way based on new and more liberal
principles of instruction and educa-
ton"

OLD BAT HISTORICAL RELIC

A note in a current American news
paper has peculiar interest for all
those American citizens who are in

doin college has come into possession
of the baseball bat, long In the keep
ing of the Maine Historical society,
which was used more than fifty years
ago In the first game ever played be-
tween that college and an outside
team. The old bat. made of spruce.
on the very day Of the game, is about
the size Of the bats still in use, and,
II the college had won the game,
would doubtless have remained ever
since in q collegiate atmosphere. But
the Sunrise team, made up of boys
from the town Of Brunswick, defeated
the collegians, In that day of long
scores, to the tune of 46 to AZ, and the
bat, inscribed with the names Of all
the players, went to the winners. Lat
er they gave 1t to the historical so
ciety, which now presents 1t to the
college. But in 1860 no one Of the
players could have foreseen a time
when what Is said to be the oldest
baseball bat in the country would be
an object Of national interest.-Chris-

young birds of the parrot family being

to feed the incubator-hatched birds by

SEEK TO SAVE
STARVING ELK

Department officials are making every
possible effort to procure the needed
feed despite the serious scarcity Of
hay and forage in the region. APP
proximately 10000 elk roam this Sec
ton of the country. They are divided
into two groups, known as the north
ern and southern herd, respectively.
The latter, which winters in the VI
cinity of Jackson Hole, to the south
Of Yellowstone park, is the one for
which the department of agriculture
is seeking to make provision.
Ranchmen Slow to Part With Hay.
Reports have recently been received
from government representatives in
the region of Yellowstone national
park stating that many elk are deS~
tined to starve If the present severt.
weather continues and tf no additional
supplies of feed are provided. On the
winter elk refuge in Jackson Hole the
department has in store approximate
ly 1900 tons of hay which normally
would be sufficient to carry the south
ern herd through the winter. But cold
weather and heavy SHOWS came so
early that there is grave danger that
the animals will be without feed be-

CARRIED THE sAvIoR's CROSS
Simon Of cyrene Pressed Into Service
Through Accidental Meeting on
That Dread Day.

There IL q more or less general be-
lief that Simon, who carried the cross
for Jesus, was a negro. While there Is
no direct evidence on this point, he
was probably a white man and Jew.
The city of Cyrene, from which he
came, was in northern Africa, but 1t
was a Greek city and the Jews were
settled there in large numbers. Simon
was a Jewish name and not likely to
have been borne by native African.
st. Mark speaks of him ss one Simon,
q Cyrenian, the father Of Alexander
and Rufus, both of whom were we'll
known Jews and white. The curious
thing about Simon's carrying the cross
on which Jesus was to be crucified
was that he had nothing to do with the
proceedings before Pontius PLATE, a2d
was forced into the service of carrying
the cross. Matthew, after describing
the trial and the surrender of Jesus to
the crowd, says: And they came out,
and they found man of Cyrene,
Simon by name; him they compelled
to bear His cross" Mark says: "And
they compelled one Simon, Cyrenian,
who passed by coming out Of the
country, the father of Alexander and
Rufus, to bear His cross" Luke says:
And as they led Him away they laid
hold on one Simon, Cyrenian, coming
out of the country, and on him they
laid the cross, that he might bear 1t
for Jesus" These accounts Indicate
that the crowd met Simon by chance
and that he was pressed into the serv-
ice of carrying the cross.
