REAL EDUCATION.

To boost education without debating
its form is the aim of the educational
bureau which has recently been organ
lied by the civic development department
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. Its purposes are given
as follows:
ITO assist in securing for all Ameri-
cans a common school education at least,
under competent teachers and in a
wholesome environment, to the end that
our children may receive not only mental
training but guidance in character build
ing and instruction as to the privileges,
duties and responsibilities of American
citizens"
1t has become evident that American
schools are failing to keep pace with
the tasks confronting them. There are
many reasons, of course, the most obvious
of which are insufficient pay for teachers
and lack of public understanding of
school problems. A less obvious reason
is that somehow people have lost sight
of the real meaning and purpose of edu-
cation and have come to substitute what
one prominent educator calls mere train
ing. A horse or dog or other animal can
be trained to do marvellous tricks, but it
never is able to go on from those tricks
and work out for itself any new adapta-
tion to its environment or mode of liv-
ing. OF late years the majority of
schools have taken to training the ma
TONS children, teaching them to go
through certain tricks of hand and brain

In the quiet little village of Essex June

fore YOU can get into it, the place where
Guy w. Bailey used to occasionally hold
receptions in the headquarters" for the
benefit of the state house gang, and where
Linn" Hays stays long enough to vote
for road roller at the annual town meet
ing, an event of great Importance took
place last week when ex-Gov. Allen NJ
Fletcher talked to ''Linn's'' class of the
mems forum in the church there. His sub
ject was increased state expenses. The
News is giving what he said elsewhere
To our way of thinking he hit a popular
topic, and one the taxpayers are very much
interested in. Governors may come and
go, have economy platforms, and print
columns of stuff in platforms what they
propose to do. Anybody with the least
little bit Of sense knows this is all bunk

You all want TO live to be big hens
or roosters, don't you? l know you
do" he said, without waiting for an
answer.
Now, I will tell you what to do
tomorrow when you are out. Just you
all creep under the gate by the road
and run as far away from the barn
yard as you can and l will save you
from this unhealthful place and take
you where you can grow up big and
fat--I mean big and strong"
The next morning after breakfast all
the chicks ran for the gate and some
of them crept under it and ran down
the road, but most of them were seen
by the older hens and made to come
back.
I'VE want to live to grow up big and
strong" peeped the chicks that were
brought back. I'VE can't grow in that
unhealthful place we sleep in"
"Who told you that silly story?"
asked Mrs. Old Hen.
"Oh, nice, kind animal who came
to our window last night. He wants
to save US and we were going to live
in a nice place he has. Peep, peep;
we want to grow up
Il think you will find that it will
be better for your health to live here"
said Mrs. Old Hen, "for if / am not
mistaken that was Mr.. Fox who visited
you last night and gave you health
hints, and those chicks that got away
this morning viii never come back"
The next night Mr.. Fox returned to
urge the other chicks to run away the
next day. Your friends are in more
haalthful place, my dears," he said.
Il want to see you all happy and well
cared for"
I'VE have decided that this place is
healthful enough for u.s." said the
chicks, grown wise since the night be-
fore, "but it will be very bad for your
health if you do not run away at once.
Peep, peep, peep" they all cried so
loudly that Mr. Fox did not stop
second.
NOW, who has been giving them
health hints beside me, l should like
to know" thought Mr.. Fox as he ran
for home.

Should ex-senator George Sutherland
of Utah be named to fill the next vacan-
cy among the associate justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States, as
is reported among the probabilities, he
would be one of the first English born
members of the highest tribunal. Brought
in early life to Utah and educated in the
public schools, Mr.. Sutherland decided
on law as a calling, and to secure that
end studied in the law school of the Uni
yerSity of Michigan. Returning to Utah
he began practice in Salt Lake City
and speedily established a reputation for
unusual intellectual capacity and breadth
of view in dealing with public affairs.
Choosing the Republican party as his
agency for civic service he has been hon
ored by il in repeated nominations to
office He made his first appearance in
congress as representative in 1901. In
1905 he was elected to the senate, and

The Butterfly

When summer days are sunny,
And bees go seeking honey,
And every hour is golden,
The spangled butterfly
OF every pleasure tasting,
Each golden moment wasting
EXultant spreads her shining wings
And never thinks to die.
But when the summers ended,
And autumn has descended
And autumn frosts have chilled her,
Say, does the butterfly
With pitiful persistence, repent he
vain existence
Lament the nothingness beyond
And dread that she shall die?

BEAUTY.

"TAN and haggari was her face,
" Gone was every hint of grace,
But a flash deep in her eye
Told of inner spirit high
That to those who walked in stress
Spoke of truest loveliness-
Beauty of the rarer kind,
Beauty of the heart and mind,
Unto service given-she
Held the Soul of sympathy.
