Phebe Anna Thorne Open Air Model
School for Girls, a branch of the
postgraduate college educational
work at Bryn Mawr College, Bryn
Mawr, Pa. Warmly clad in their
"esquimaux," young girls are at
tending school In the "pagoda'
houses daily, learning to approach
the problems Of education, society
and life from an entirely new angle
They write almost as many books
as they read.
The innovation at Bryn Mawr,
which now is seeking an endowment
Of $2,000,000 with which to increase
professors salaries, shocked some Of
the staid old educators when the row
Of pagodas first began to rise out
side the Jacobean gates of the COL
lege. The Phebe Anna Thorne Open
Air Model School for Girls wasn't
like any Of the old methods. Where
was the discipline of the average
school curriculum?
When you visit the open air
school you find the answer that sat-
tsfied the doubters. You know why
teachers come from all parts of the
country to observe this new system
Of education-a system which is now
past the stage Of experiment.
Suppose you wander into the his
tory class, where girls between ten
and twelve years old are working.
Do not picture them as bending low
over dull pages Of facts, dates and
maps. They are making history live
again for themselves, in their own
words and minds.
There is no desk for the teacher in
this school. What, no teacher? Oh.
yes, a teacher, but she strolls among
the pupils, whose attention is TO-
cused on the girl reciting in front Of
the class.
and what did he look like?" the
teacher asks.
WELL" answers the rosy checked
little girl, as she talks to her class
mates, "he wasn't so very, very
large, nor so very, very small. He
walked gracefully, as a gentleman
should, and in his eye saw at once
that he had the determination to do
things he was told to do. Something
about him reminded me Of the sea.
and I could have looked all the way
across the street and recognized him

and successful association with tho

as brilliant and successful lawyer

the state.

the history of the year as he WAS
in that Of 1912 and 1915. He is
out with the same fixed determine
ton to win the Presidency this year
as he was to win the Governorship
IN 1910. He is making the same
sort of single-handed fight - the
entire johnson campaign fund be-
ing put at about $25, 900, and its
so-called organization being a fest
even to those who compose 1t. He
isn't actually ringing the cowbells
this year, but the Johnsonian op-
position to the league of nations
serves the same purpose. It draws
the crowds, and then the man from
California gets his chance TO tell
his message.
Whatever betide his Presidential
candidacy, there is no denying that
johnson is a virile power in the
Senate. His brief career in the
Senate has been rather triumnh-
ant one.
A Terror in Debate
In debate on the floor and in the
short-arm work Of tho committee
rooms he inspires respect and some
times fear. He does nothing In
moderation. His speeches are al
ways thunderbolts, and his commit
tee examinations are merc.less.
When aroused-and he generally
Is when speaking-his keen, graz
eyes glance is positively baleful
One look at him "eating up" Fl
witness or pitching hot shot into
the Democratic camp or the league
OF nations prompts one to hope
that Johnson may be on his side
always. If I were a public sinner
| would rather have anybody els
fay me than Johnson. He Is
quarterless fighter incarnate.
A johnson speech is can e.

bombs, fame projectors-all. In
stantly you are ardently for him or
bitterly against him. He seems
man OF burning temper to whom
there are no twilight zones of du-
oiety or uncertainty. All things are
thus and 80.

Out of Private Life

That day Hiram johnson ceased
to be private person and advocate
Of private causes and became a pub
lie man and advocate Of public
rights. Yet the real turning point
in his career seems to have been
when he succeeded the wounded
Heney In the graft cases, for though
in his earlier association with the
prosecution he seems to have been
concerned more as a lawyer earning
an honest fee, when he took up the
burden after Heney's assassination
it was without remuneration.

phone brought the news Of the trae-
edy in the courtroom Johnson was

came to him in 1910 the choice wasc
not an easy one. AS a lawyer he
had arrived. Big causes and LARGE
fees were his. Only forty-four
years of age, full Of life and vigor
and the zest Of life, the temptation
was strong to stay with the flesh
pots and enjoy the quiet distinction
and large emoluments that gravi
tate to lawyer Of record and parts.
The great decision was left to the
wife--or, rather, the decision being
made by Mr.. Johnson in accordance
with his inclination was cheerfully
submitted for her approval or veto.
After long hesitation she gave her
approval to the political venture,
though with great miseiyings

California in 1916

However, when he became a
straight Progressive in 1914, the or
ganization of the Republican party
was left entirely in the hands of
the old guard-and it was this hos
tile organization that was in charge
of Republican party affairs in Cali
fornia up to September 80, 1916.
The less said about the sad things
that happened IN that sad year in
California the better for all con-
cerned. Somebody blundered and
blundered completely, consecutively
and monstrously, the result being
that, though Johnson. running both
as Republican and as a Progress
sive, carried the state by nearly
100000, Judge Hughes lost it by
$500.
There seems to be no doubt that
johnson was loyal and vigorous in
his support Of Hughes, but the con-
ditions Of the strife within the new
ly reunited party were such that
neither the Progressives nor the reg
ulars threw their full strength to
Hughes. Roughly, it may be said
that because Johnson and Hughes
did not ride through California to-
gether on the same train, and be-
cause they were in the same hotel
at Long Beach without meeting,

Personally Gentle

And yet for all his fearsome DOS

poratlon meat raw--in getting along
famously and delightfully."- with Phi
lander Knox, who lives and has his
being in the atmosphere Of ths oc-
topi that Johnson fears.
Not tall man, being of medium
height, Johnson has yet the physi-
cal equipment of a giant-a great
barrel Of chest to turn air into
energy, a massive neck, pillar-like
legs, penetrating and commanding
voice, and the mien of charging
lion. His is the physical type which
can stand long years of abuse, over
work and little physical exercise.
Work is too absorbing and too
good game for Hiram johnson
for him to have much interest in
diversions He used to love duck
hunting in the tule marshes Of the
Sacramento, but has had no time for
1t IN recent years. He is a base
ball fan, but plays no outdoor games

cynic boss, to prison for fourteen
nominal and seven actual years;
but all the years his virile, aggres-
sive, forceful individuality had been
developing.
Born in Sacramento. September
2, 1865, of vigorous old American
stock, his parents on both sides COM
ing from New York State, he was
educated in the public schools of
the then sleepy capital and at the
University of California in Berke-

TO the bar, and though his father,
Grove L. Johnson (still hving), was

and family did not keep Hiram
from opposing the "old man." rather
