THE FINEST EDUCATION

a school teacher writes Of education as follows:
We are reforming our system continually.
but cannot eliminate the two great flaws
education and education by schedule. The
way TO educate children is to teach the lndlVld-
ua what he wants to know when he wants to
know il; and it will be many a long decade be-
fore the dear people will let go of the money
for that
Individual education Of the suggested does
cost money and is hard to fit into democratic pub
lie school system. Yet it is ideal worth aiming
ward and worth persuadng the public to pay for In
the meantime, the teachers message carries word 70
wise parents The home always has been and still
may be place where this finest type Of education IS
carried 1t isn't easy for fathers and mothers to
teach roWng boys and girls the things they want 70
know when they want to know them but it is possible,
and the sincere, intelligent parent accompshes good
deal along this line.

Would Shock the
Poor Young Fish

SEATTLE, Wash. 3. If it is poss-
iblr to shock fish, the Univrrsit '
of of Washington college of fish
cries plans to make il a regular
practice and thereby save millions
of Young fish from going to carlv
graves III the irrigation ditch.
Experiments are being conducted
to determine if electric screens
cannot be installed in the bitches
rs a warning to new born fish to
stop, look and listen when they
receive the preliminary tinelrs.
The theory is that the Young sal
mon, trout or other fish bent on cN-
pIoring the irrigation bitches will
turn back when it comes in contact
with the charged screen.
Many fish which swim into the
bitches never find their way back
and usually perish high and dry
when the water is distributed over
the land.
We are anxious To prove dcfm-
iteN whether this method can be
used successfully, said Dean John

 Mrs. Bennett was given five days jail sentenc. To the court before sentence was passed she said that she did net deem it necessary to offer defense. She said: II belong to a. disenfranchised class. I hold that I have light under the Con- stitution and the Declaration of h. dependence to do anything necessary to remedy conditions. I consider watchtires and the burning of Pres ident Wilson's speeches on dem- ocracy a very mild form of protest which I shall continue to make"
 Mir. Bennett is lawyer and had often appeared before the general assembly committees on bills af- fecting The interest of workers. In 1921 he with Mrs. Bennett. opened a labor college at Katonah, N. Y, the first of its kind in the country, and they moved from this city to be members of a colony which grew up around the college.
