THE FAlRHOPE IDEA
BY DR.. Frank Crane

Few names stand higher in the education
al world than that Professor John Dewey, OF
Columbia university.
He went to Fairhope, a little town in Ala
bama, where Marietta Johnson has a school
Although this school is in an out of the
way place, it illustrates what Emerson said
about the man who could make better rat
trap than anybody else. The world has worn
patch to the door of Mrs. Johnson's school
Because she has an idea. She has dug
down through the debris of tradition and ex-
pertinent and found the Rock upon which the
right school can rest. What that Rock is
may be expressed in John Dewey's words:
"In my judgment this school has demon
strated that it is possible for children to lead
the same natural lives in school that they
lead in homes of right sort outside of school;
to progress bodily, mentally, and morally in
school without Fictitious pressure, rewards,
examinations, grades or promotions; while
they acquire sufficient control of the conven-
tional tools of learning and of the study OF
books-reading, writing and fguring-to be
able to use them Independently"
In other words, the Kock is Nature.
And the real secret of Nature, which is
open to all men, but few see, is Growth.
The Fairhope idea is not to Teach chill
dren, that is, not primarily. 1t is to enable
them to Grow.
That is why the plan is called Organic
Education
This idea is not the sloppy, cheap and often
cruel plan of making the child fit pre-
conceived system, not measuring the poor
young one on Procrustean bed, looping it
off if too long, and stretching it out if too
short, but in adapting the system to fit the
child.
There are no rewards, no punishments, no
promotions, no grades, none Of the frightful
devices of competition, which wreck the polit-
ical world with wars and the Industrial world
with strikes.
Instead there is wholesome Teamplay.
The teacher is not a Kaiser or Won Him.
denburg, enforcing obedience and turning out
stunted little Prussianr She is a silent,
watchful leader, not driver; sympathizer,
not regulator.
There are Life Glasses, not algebra
classes.
Children are taught through Play and
shown how Work may be made Play.
In a nutshell, the watchword is EXPOSE
ton, not Repression, Depression or Sup
preston.
The child is not orammed with what adults
think he Needs, but is trained to Want the
right things, and shown how tC get them.
In other words, the Fairhope idea seems
to me an attempt to stand the pyramid of
education on it's Base, which is the nature of
tt child, and not on it's Apex, which is the
demands of somo artificial curriculum
All teachers would be helped by looking
into the Fairhope idea

THINK SUCCESS
BV H. Addingtpn Bruce

i by n. AQQUlSLNl DTuCG
TN ODAY you lost your job In your pay
| I envelope you found slip notifying
you that your services would no long
er be required. The NOTICE came with the
shock of an unexpected blow.
SO tonight you are indespair. Over and
over you say to Yourself mot merely What
shall [ do?" but What a failure | ami"
| This thought of failure, let me tell you
for your good, you must rasolutely put out
of your mind. Instead of thinking failure you
must think success.
You will find there are many things you
can do. But also you will find that you can
do none of them we'll so long as you are OBJ
sessed with the idea of failure 1t will ham
per you, cripple you in every undertaking.
| Brace up. Say to yourself, with convic-
| ton:
'The loss of my place today is only a
| temporary setback. 1t shows that somehow
II was on the wrong track. But it doesn t
mean that | will always be on the wrong
| track.
! Success, the highest possible success, can
be mine, and will be mine l am not dub,
but potential winner. All have to do is
to make myself more familiar with the prin-
| ciples of succeeding.
| eff do this there is nothing to which I
cannot aspire. 1 have health, brains, energy.
No man can have better assets Success can
| be mine, and will be mine; ! know 1T. | do
not doubt it for single moment"
| Say this repeatedly to yourself. Say it
with fervor. Go to bed with the idea of sue
! cess in your mind. Keep thinking success all
day tomorrow.
Monday, of course, you will start looking
for another job. Don't spend the whole day
looking for one, even if you imagine you
cannot afford to do otherwise.
| Step into your public library some time
during the day and look up in the card in
dex books relating to success. Make note
also of the library numbers of biographies
or autobiographies of eminently successful
men.
If you have a library card, take one of
these biographies home with you, also one
of the books charting the road to success
If you have not a library card, apply for
one. Until you get it study these books in
the library itself.
This will have the double effect. of help
ing to keep in your mind the thought of sue
cess and of helping to teach you how sue
cess may be yours.
You need such teaching-that you readily
grant. And [ promise you it is not too late
to learn, even though your present dismiss
sal is the climax of series of dismissals that
have come to you since first you undertook
to make your way in the world.
Don't become a gutter now. Don't let
yourselef glide into the unhappy class of
incapables who are incapable chiefly because
they take it for granted they can never
amount to much Let 81 can make good and
will make good be your slogan.
Long years lie ahead of you, years of mis-
cry or years of happiness as you yourself
determine. Your future is yours to shape.

ing how to succeed.

1T is interesting to hear the Boston Tran
script pleading for larger measure,
(. not precisely of State rights, but-what
comes to much the same thing-of State
responsibility in the high Iabors of forest
conservation. Remarking that the federal
power may conceivably undertake too much
in that line the Transcript goes on to ar
que: 1.-THE object is to preserve or create the
forests by the most likely means, not merely
to expand the functions of the general gov
eminent. There is such thing as the prop
er cultivation of State pride and proper
sense of State interests in this matter
Seasonably said, State interests, State
pride, and State responsibility must be fos-
tered and kept functiOning if things are to
go we'll with the country. 1t Is no longer a
theory of certain rights, but condition OF
certain affairs that calls the component COM
monwealths of the Union to self-rellance
and initiative in realms which, if the easiest
way is taken, will be left almost exclusively
to federal tending. There are tasks and du-
ties, of course which only the national gov
eminent, with its Incompatible reach and re-
sources, is capable of performing. In mat
tiers of forestry for example, State unald,
ed can take care of it's own interests much
less those of the common country. Ii Geof-
gia's neighbors fail to protect their God

increased; and certainly the federal govern
mcnt should go forward with surveys and re-
searches, at once extensive and detailed, into
all phases of the forestry problem.
But let it be borne constantly in mind that
there is work for each and every State to
do, work which must be done if their indl-
vidual and collective interests are to be con-
served In all fields of governmental duty
and enterprise save those which in their

Stacking Of Middle Names
N interesting glimpse into Europe

= A interesting glimpse into European
y translations of American names is
given us by the Paris correspondent,
ewho forecasts that the next chief magistrate
sof the United States will be known on the
continent as President Misunderstanding. The
hyphenation he infers from the fact that when
Senator Lodge is alluded to in the French
press, it is never as IN. Lodge but IN.
Cabot Lodge" or, rather frequently M. Cabot
Lodge One prominent Paris daily writes it
~ssM CabOtlodge." This leads to the obserVa-
4ion that the use of the middle initial is al
most an American idiom. AN Engllshman
NAV call himself John James Smith, but prac-
tically never John J. Smith. Frenchman
may be baptized Auguste Charles Jesus Marie
Georges Dupont, but he will be known to the
world as Georges Dupont, and probably will
sign, himself c.. Dupont" Most of our pres
idents, it may be noted, have possessed, or
have used, no middle name or middle initial.
Since Rutherford B. Hayes, only one, Will
liam Howard Taft, has boasted a middle
name And where, from the first to the latest
! of the ilustrous roster, is there anything
., quite comparable 0 William Gamaliel Harding?

Not Wanted Here

More than 500 Russian radicals remain
to be deported, it is said at the department
of labor. All except forty of these are at
liberty on bail, but the others are held in
confinement at Deer Island, Boston, and
Ellis Island, N V as they are regarded as
too dangerous to be allowed at liberty even
temporarily
Delay in deporting the Russians was ex-
planned at the department to be due to a
refusal of the Scandinavian countries to re-
ceive the depoPtees and to the closing OF the
frontier between Finland and Russia.
