model, sing, and read music. Encourage all pupils who show unusual capacity in any of these directions to develop their gifts assiduously both in and out of school hours.
 Stimulate every pupil to active participation in every school exercise by looking, listening, speaking, drawing, and writing himself. Each pupil should be active, not passive, alert not dawdling, led or piloted, not driven, but always learning the value of cooperative discipline.
 Teach groups of subjects together in their natural and inevitable relations. For ex- ample, teachn arithmetic, al- zebra, and geometry together from beginning to end.
 Do the same for economies, government, and sociology, and for history, biography, geography, and travel. Associate reading, spelling, and composition day by day, and make sure that every child see the object of having his own compositions correct ly spelled and legibly written.
 Teach chemistry, physics, biology and geology all to- gether every week throughout the entire course (twelve years); because these subjects are generally found working in intimate association in most natural processes of growth, decay, creation, or extinction, and are separable only for ad- vanced pupils who need to un- derstand the man-made theories and imaginings which

THE SCHOOLS WE
 OUGHT TO HAVE

leaQ1ng UuS41Icoo III1IAuo 1o CO teach future Americans to think for themselves. The proposal for such an end comes from President Emerit- IS Eliot, of Harvard, who does not mean that. business men should turn schoolmasters themselves, but should apply their business brains to the reorganization of such schools as we have already. Writing in The Nations Business (Washington), he advocates Protection Against Ignor- ance," and brings to light some considerations that re- cent events have made inn perative. The war brought out the fact that many of Us are physically defective and that more of us are more il- literate than we ought to be. The first of these troubles Presidnet Eliot would cure by universal physical training, combined with medical in- spection and nursing service in all schools" The other, he fears, extends further than mere inability to read. Most Americans, educated or un- educated, rich or poor, young or old, can not, he says, see or hear straight, make an ac- curate record remember exact ly, or draw an inference from premises. How shall we bet ter this state of things? He says:
 Enlist the interest of every pupil in every school-publie or private, elementary or sec ondary-in bis daily tasks, in order to get from him hard, persistent, and willing work. Only through interest in work comes power of mental appll- cation, and in due course suc- cess and content in productive labor-labor which, however, can never be free from tire some routine or from oft-re- peated exertions. The too common opinion that there is no useful training except in unatttractive or repulsive sub- jects or practises is just the opposite of the truth for either child or adult. In this world, stern as we'll as beautiful, 1t is quite unnecessary to invent hardness or obstacles for any human being.
 Relate every lesson to Something in the life of the child, so that he may see the application and usefulness of the lesson and how it concerns hin.
 Teach all subjects, wher- ever possible, from actual ob- ]ects to be accurately ob- served and described by the pupils themselves. Cultivate every hour in every child the power to see and describe ac- curately.
 Make the training of the senses a prime object every day.

GARDEN ON EVERY FARM
AIM OF NEW MEXICO WOMEN,

Women In Union county, N. Mex.
are working to have on every farm o
garden large enough to supply the
family with vegetables the entire year
with sufficient surplus for each
housewife to can or dry enough vege-
tables for winter use.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture reports that the follow
Ing is a part Of what was accomplish
ed last year in his county under the
supervision Of the home-demonstra-
ton agent: A great many vegetables
new to the community were tried out
such as Swiss Chard, Chinese cabbage,
asparagus, and celery and fruits like
ever-bearing strawberries, rhubarb
garden lemons, and other varieties not
previously raised. These were grown
successfully. Grapes, peaches, plums,
apples, and epricots have been planted
by many people who had not drought
these fruits woul dgrow in their coun-
ty. This Is a dry-land section where
practically no attention has been given
to the home garden.
Everything tried, and given the
proper attention, brought good results.
Some failures weer reported, due to
lack Of moisture and lack Of care. Re-
ports also show that, besides all that
was used fresh on the table, from 25,-
900 to $4,000 quarts of vegetables and
fruits were canned in this county last
year.

Floodtide of Gold
Bringing Deflation

If the Fordney tariff bill goes
through as now outlined we shall
have a period of initiation in this
country. And this, in turs, may
have fundamental influence on
commodity and security prices of
much more far reaching extent than
the average investor will admit.
What is initiation, anyway We
take it to mean that the relation of
money and credit in the country
is rapidly exceeding the amount of
goods and merchandise. Here. you
oct the real reason behind the amaz-
ing rise in commodity prices during
the war, observes Sugarman's Indi-
Gator
Rising commodity prices mean
bigger profits to manufacturing
companies, as the stock of goods
on the shelves goes up faster than
wages. They have a bigger mar
gin of profit and cannot help hut
make money. AT present, production
is at low ebb, but meantime gold
continues to come into the country
in great volume. During the ties
days ended June 20 imports of gold
to the lifted States from all other
countries amounted to $14,704, 725,
making the imports of the yellow
metal since the first of 1921 reach
the huge total of 1898, 420. 406. The
imports during the same period were
only $6,3S6,38S. Our imports of sill
YER during this same ten days
amounted to $763,317. bringing the
total since January 21, 1921, up to
$25, 1854.

Green Corn Feed Will
Help Milk Production

In spite of the fact that recent
rains have broken the general drouth
in Kentucky, dairy cows in many
parts of the state will suffer for
want of green feed before dried-up
pastures can make a new growth,
according to dairy specialists. For
this reason it becomes necessary for
dairymen to use some other means of
supplying the green feed until pas
lures are recovered. Cows that are
allowed to go almost dry during the
summer from lack of such feed are
not apt to come back and produce a
large flow of milk during the re-
mainder of their lactation period,
the specialists say. Green corn is
being fed successfully by a numb err
Kentucky farmers to supply the
wants of their dairy animals.
One method of feeding green corn
is to chop up the stalks with a cut
ting box and sprinkle it with a gal
Ion of water to which tablespoon
full of molasses and a big pinch of
salt has been added. The fass should
be shoveled over several times and
added to with four pounds of corn
! meal and two pounds of cottonseed
meal. This mixture is fed at the
rate of pound of dry feed for
every four pounds of milk, which the
cows are producing. Farmers who
have used this say that it is one
of the best feeds for keeping up
milk production.
In some cases it will be advisable
to cut good corn for the cows until
pastures are green again, according
to J. J. Hooper, head of the dairy
department of the College of Ag-
riculture, who states that an acre
of ripening corn is doubled in value
if fed to dairy cows when pastures
are short. Cow peas also make a
good silage for the cows.

organization. ALL of the animals

ing from $50 to 500 pounds Of but
terfat a year while two of them
trace back to the famous Jersey sire,
Fairy Glen's Raleigh, through Allen
Dale's Raleigh and New Years
Raleigh. The association has AZ
dairymen as its members who will
receive equal benefits from the an
imals by mating them to the cows
on their farms. Use of the sires on
the dairy cattle of the county is ex-
pected to lead to the establishment
of high producing herds in that sec
ton of the state.

Red Mans Gift to Civilization Big
Factor In Development of
the United States

The statement that Indian corn,
or maize was largely responsible not
only for the independence, but the
early development of the United
States is a startling one, but let us
see if facts do not justify such
conclusion.
If the granaries Of the colonists
had not been filled with corn that
assured them food supply, the
Declaration Of Independence would
rot have been signed. The cargo of
tea would never have been dumped
into BOSTON harbor, if these cour-
ageous Americans had not realized
that their corn fields could feed their
army Independent Of stores from
abroad.
Corn continued to exert the same
powerful influence after the two
successful wars with England. Every
man with the spirit of the pioneer,
believed that with his courage, his
rifle and a bag of seed corn he could
conquer the wilderness that lay west
of the Allegheny Mountains, and 1T
was the failure of the corn crop in
the Atlantic states, due to late and
early frosts that started migration
toward the Mississippi valley soon
after the close of the war of 1879.
The pioneers had discovered that
the Indian tribes that cultivated the
corn in the rich sub-valleys and the
rlains of the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers had fuller measure of both
physical and mental development
than those who were obliged to pick
a scanty subsistence among the more
] frigid and half marine regions in

Lakes.

Those who have inquired into the
subject understand that the food
value of all cereals is about the
same. The Bureau of Chemistry of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has said that equal parts
of corn meal and milk--cup for cup
or tablespoon for tablespoon--make
what is known as balanced ration
that is, q ration that furnishes all
the substances that the body needs
in the proportions in which the body
can use them satisfactorily. Yet
we seldom hear of mush and milk,
the diet of our forefathers.
This country will always raise
corn. and as our prosperity is found
ed on agriculture and agricultural
prosperity is founded upon corn, il
behooves the government and other
agencies looking to the general well
fare of our land, to not only help
bring the Americans of today back
to the corn diet that gave the pio-
neers strength to convert this cOun-
try from wilderness to the greatest
