NEW WORLDS FOR OLD.

In their efforts to put into the curriculum
something vital educational authorities turning
more and more to the subject Of geography Not
merely IN the grammar grades do we find it now
receiving more attention than it used to get; but
even In the high schools and colleges 1t is being
made attractive feature Of the course of study.
But the material which is being offered
in the geography class is not the uninterestng body
Of facts it was in the days when the chief OBJ
jcct Of the teacher seemed be to have her pupils
know the length of all the rivers in the world,
and the altitude Of all the mountain peaks. 1t is
small wonder that the children often wearied Of
this sort of educational setting-up exercise. Why
bother at the age of u with bounding" Utah. and
make the cornering of this fact momentous
educational process in the life of the child? Utah
will always stay where 1t is now, and If for any
conceivable must know what state is
to the east of it, that information is to be had
any time for the mere turning of a few pages
The geography Of today is a more humanzed
study than was its predecessor. We are coming to
see that foreign countries in addition to harborns
mountains and rivers and lakes filled also
with people. These people busy making things
and they want some things that other peoples
make. These people who live in other countries
believe things which in some cases are different
from things which believe. They follow customs
which seem to very strange at times. Some Of
them speak language which is not like the one
we speak.
More and more it is to be this material which
is to be used in the study of geography, il some
educators who have looked into this question are
to have their way. 1t will bring about they say
a better understanding among nations 1t will make
for sympathy and a liberal outlook the part of
the student The emphasis is to be put more on
the people and their ways of living and thinking
than their physical environment, which was
once about all there was to the study of
geography. And it will come about in the end
that instead Of finishing his course in geography
in the seventh eighth grade, the student will
continue it through the high school and even in
college, For when it is looked at in this light,
there Is no end to the educational material Of
fered by the study Of geography.

STARS.

Stars add variety to the sky.
They also add lite If there was
ent eny stars and moon in the
sky it would be SO dark nobody
could See weather there was eny
up there anyways.
For all we know nobody lives
on the stars, but for all they
know nobody lives on the erth
either, proving ignorants don't
prove enything.
Some people admire the stars
because they twinkle, not being
enything to be dissatisfied about
on account Of the erth would
proberly twinkle too If you got as
far way from it as wat you are
from the stars, ony its not werth
vile taking a chance going that
far just to find out.
The stars ony come out at mite,
but they are up there in the
morning and aftir1oon jest the
same. This groves nobody awt to
werk more han half a day.
If you see the ferst star that
comes out and make a wish on
it you are Supposed to get your
wish, wich you are proberly more
libel to do if you take a easy
one like wishing You're going to
have dizzert for suppir than if
you take a hard one like wishing
you will find a hyyickle that don't
belong to enybody.
There are so meny stars alto
gether that nobody knows jest
how meny, but You would be
lucky if you ony lad a cent for
every one.
One of the main uses of the
stars is so you can tell for sure If
its stopped raining
