can those problems be studied
better than right among our
selves. We meet them every day,
in the daily life, by observing
the world through the modern
means of communication and in
the books we read. AS far as
studying the life problems is con-
cerned can high education be
of any essential benefit?
How are the life problems
solved? The solutions are found
by creative thinking and hard
work-often both physically and
mentally. Is thinking taught in
our high schools? The students
are trained how to draw con-
illusions which may be in either
constructive or destructive
thoughts. 1t demands creative
thinking to solve a problem of
life. Can creative thinking be
taught in a public school built
on the principles that our school
is built on? The individual
teachers may by their person
atty be of a great help along
this line. But | dare say: Our
system does not teach creative
thinking, and | do not know OF
any system used in public schools
under government supervision
that can do it. And furthermore
| do not believe such a thing can
be accomplished in a common
public school.
If we will try to solve the ccm-
mon peoples life ploblems we
must be in close contact with
their daily life, understand their
way of thinking and living, and
last but not least, we must love
the common people and feel in
our heart that we are one of
them. These are the require
ments and the most perfect AGA
demic education will only be of
little if any help. 1t will give: us
a vocabulary whereby we can
more explicitly express our
thoughts, but if we have the abili-
ty, the desire and can find the
right solutions we will also find
the words demanded to communi-
cate our ideas to our fellow
beings. The common people do
not understand the elaborate
language so many of our highly
educated men are using and if
we want to do something for the
general public we must use a
language that is understood.
To illustrate this let me give
just a couple of examples. We
farmers have seen some VI those
self-appointed sayiors of "the
poor down-trodden ignorant
farmer. Have they succeeded
in solving our problems?
They had education enough,
their vocabulary and ability to
express themselves were nearly
always without a flaw. They
can not succeed because they do
not know our needs and do not
love us.
Young men, look at Abraham
Lincoln! Some will say: "cut
that out, we have heard it so
often, furthermore he was a
great man, an exception" Let us
not forget that he was a human
who himself had no more than
human power to accomplish his
almost super human deeds. |
want to compare you young
people of today with the great
president. l will compare my
self with him, but listen: | COM
pare my little self with him as
the flicekring light of a candle
may be compared with Gods

fray. Bill got on after the first two
batters of the round had been retired,
being franked to the initial sack. He
promptly pilfered second and, after
Falk Strolled, swiped third base with
ease. That put Bill in position to
score when Spencer Harris scratched
a measly single past Myer.
The Nationals were unable to touch
Thomas until the third, and the single
that Ruel began the frame with then
was wasted, for Reeves drilled into a
twoply killing. But they knotted the
count in the fourth. without getting a
bingle. McNeely pried open the frame
with a walk. Thomas threw to get
Earl off first, but Barrett let the
sphere slip through his paws and the
speedy National raced to third. Rice

put the Nationals in front for the

BASE BALL SECRETS

When a runner Is on second and
the batter grounds to the short
stop. this runner should watch the
play carefully and stay just off
that bag until the shortstop makes
his play, like the player on the left
in the illustration. Some runners
start for third on such a hit and
are easy meat for putout there
by a throw from shortstop to third.
