BY Universal Service.

Washington, Aug. 5-Guided by
Mrs. Harding's wish that the fu-
neral services duplicate those held
for the martyred William Mckinley,
the national capital today completed
plans for paying final tribute to War
rem Gamaliel Harding.
1t is barely % years since the
heart Of the nation did homage to
that earlier leader who came in
modesty from a small Ohio town
to guide the affairs Of a great people.
As he came and went, so let it
be with him who followed.
The widows sad vigil in the great
white mansion, the imposing military
escort to Capitol hill, the simple SER
vice beneath the towering dome
through which will murmur the soft
strains of Lead Kindly Light
favorite Of both presidents-so will
pass the final hours.
And, as Nearer, My God to Thee"
closes the religious ceremony in the
massive structure where both first
began the service Of their country,
officialdom will be swept away and
the doors will be opened to the sad
dened thousands seeking to look a
last farewell at him they loved.
So beneath that same dome did
other thousands pass and bid good
bye to Abraham Lincoln of Illinois
and James A. Garfield and william
Mckinley of Ohio.
IL Men to Bear Casket.
Twelve men who have offered their
lives for their country-soldiers
sailors and marines-will bear the
body OF their commander -fn-chief
from the train upon its arrival in
Washington next Tuesday afternoon
at 1;3o. A detachment OF troops will
act as escort through streets draped
in mourning to the White House,
which was left so hopefully less than
six weeks ago.
There, in the center Of the great
east room where lay Lincoln and Nc
kinley, will the 12 stalwart men
place tenderly the casket containing
the remains OF the husband who is
no more. For there he will not be
president, suddenly taken away
from the people he governed, but
only Warren Harding. husband. The
White House grounds, which Presi.
dent Harding opened to the public,
will be closed except 10 relatives and
immediate friends.
Funeral on Wednesday.
The nation will do homage to the
dead president on Wednesday While
4 great military and civic escort
waits without, the IL bearers will
carry the casket from the east room
to the hearse which will take it to
the capitol. At the sound of a bugle,
the troops will move into column
ahead of the casket and the long
procession will wind It's way mourn
fully along the path which the presi
dent knew so well
First, under command of General
Pershing. will move a military escort

Changes Urged in
History Teaching g
Educator Says American His
tory Teaching Has Been
Lifeless and Formal.

Columbus, O.. Aug. 5.--Asserting
that teachers Of American history in
the public schools have failed, DR..
e. e. Kohl OF the Bowling Green
fOl State Normal school. in an ad-
dress here, said instruction in his
tory in the elementary schools is for
NAL and lifeless. He declared an
attempt should be made TO furnish
pupils with more OF the records of
social problems.
American history teaching in the
grades has no worthy. paramount and
workable objective. specifically de-
signed for the interests and capacities
Of the children they serve" said DR..
Kohl at has been formal and life
less, mere matter of words. Books
on the teaching OF history have. for
the most part. dealt with the objec-
tive in a purely philosophical man

far more real character continued
DR.. Kohl, than does the concept that
It illustrates social evolution. 1t be-
comes the task OF the teacher and
text to place the pupil in n situation
where he cannot help feeling and
thinking and adjusting.
"Ths very simplest view OF history
is that it is the record OF what men
and women and children do and think
and feel as Of the past. 1t is almost
an enigma that the school got human
beings out OF history. To get them
back Is the big objective just now.
Teachers will have TO know moro
both OF history and current life.

Moose Keeps Ahead of Auto

A peculiar incident is related by r.
N. Tibbetts and his associates, Athens,
when they come upon three
year old moose in the road north
of Coston's Corner, at East Athens.
Instead of stalking to cover in the
woods he evidently preferred the
highway and for a distance of four
miles kept ahead of the auto taking
an easy gait of 40 miles an hour. This
distance led thru the four towns of
Athens, Cornville, Hartland and Har-
mony. The same animal approach
ed to within the village limits Sunday
evening following the road from the
Fox Brothers where he was known to
cross their field and again Monday
morning early he was seen peacefully
grazing in a pasture near Joseph
Barkers. Another evidence of wild
game was seen by Mrs. Thompson
and her daughter last week when a
red fox crossed the road before them
while on their way to Skowhegan.
