Charles F. Paris, attendant State

Representation Applied to the League

Representation Appi'eo 70 the League
The League Of Nations is very hu-
man and therefore it is funny: also If
everybody connected with it has ev-
crything just as he wants it, the.
. League won't amount to anything.
One act of the Geneva meeting was
= decision to form six commissions to
which certain weli-defned questions
should be referred. and in order to
avoid offending any of the smaller
uations attending. it was further de-
cided to have each of the AZ nations
represented on each of the six COM
missions. 1t is also understood that
NIL the ~ nations approve the perma-
aent court of international justice

court is based, demands that cases be

any attempt to inject the national
cement would be fatal to the pres

Elective operation.
from the pettiness of some things

ocsy with which the several nations
guard their individuality, it IS quite

Teachers and Systems.

Dr- PdySOn smith, AdSSdCnuSettS
commissioner Of education, and for
mer superintendent of schools for
Maine. questions the infaliibility OF
systems. standards and uniformity in
the teaching profession. and rather
discounts the theory that they are
among the chief things to be attained
in the successful school. Speaking at
q recent meeting of educators in Bos-
ton, DIR. Smith admitted that these all
have their place. but their Office is to
be the tools which accomplish re-
suits.
How often one hears teachers sigh
YEARLY over the multitudinous slips
they must fill out, the reports they
must file. the blank forms and ques-
tionnaires they are required to an
swer. These take up SO much time
and thought that there is no time left
and no energy left to put into the
strenuous business of teaching.
Amy person who has the making of
a good teacher. possesses the qualities
of originality. imagination and en-
thusiasm. Nothing will kill these
qualities SO quickly as to force a mind
possessing them to bend itself to the
routine of file clerk. Good teachers
often leave the profession in disgust
because they feel that they are get
ting lost and becoming atrophied
in a maze of system that inks them
and does their pupils but small good.
In one of the New England states
the pupils lessons for the entire State
are prescribed from a central office
and the methods by which they shall
be taught are minutely specified. In
dividual teachers are allowed scant
latitude and almost no chance for
initiative in presenting their subjects.
Such a system must necessarily be a
drag on both teachers and pupils and
make for stilted and dreary educa-
tional processes at best.
In theory and nowadays pretty
generally in fact, our teachers are
highly educated persons who have
taken special training for their pro-
fession. 1t seems then, that they
should be considered capable of some
individual judgment and should be
expected to be somewhat Independent
Of routine. 1t is not wholly the SAL
airy question that has depleted the
ranks of teachers. but the very
fact that the systems under which
they are obliged to work tend to
narrow their activities and limit their
opportunities . for achievement. If
teaching is to become a mere matter
OF following a set program without
deviation. anybody can become a
teacher, and the less individuality and
enthusiasm one has, the better teach
or he will be. Reductio ad absurdum

hardest, slowcst, and most expensive
way. The men are working constant
ly, but the horses are doing nothing
most of the time If a loader is used
the hardest part of the work is done
by the horses and the men can handle
about 30 per cent more hay.
Save Labor on the Stack
The push rake furnishes the most
economical method of hauling hay to
the stack, barn, or hay press if the
distance is not much more than one
fourth of mile. One man, or boy,
with good push rake and team
used to the work will handle three
times as much hay as two men with a
small rack on a high wheeled wagon.
Stacking hay with push rake and
an overshot stacker mounted on
wheels eliminates nearly all of the
back-brcaking work Of the old pitch
fork method. With a yield of one to
one and half tons to the acre, two
men on the stack can easily handle all
TIE hay brought in by three push
rakcs, accomplishing vast saving in
labor and hay over the pitchfork
method. Another method not so good
but still vastly better than the pitch
fork method is stacker equipment
with double harpoon fork. The out
fit can be made at home and will cost
very little compared with the labor
it saves, but harder work is necessary
to get the hay on the stack than with
the ovcrshot stacker.
When hay is to be balcd from the
field, one man by working in the after
noon, can round up enough hay which
has been punched by push rakes to
keep the press going next morning un-
til the dew is gone from the hay in the
wlndrow. When the hay is not thus
rounded up the crew vii lose two hours
or more on mornings when there is a
heavy dew.
CarcleSSncss in setting the press
may result in loss of labor When
the press is properly set two men can
get plenty Of hay to it from the stack
