FOR
ALL is URGED
BY UNDER wool
UpIift of Masses to Make
Most of Modern Age
I Held Purpose.

1.-THE aims and purposes of educa
ton never have been agreed upon
by the leaders n educational
thought" says G. c. Underwood
director of elementary education OF
the Indianapolis public schools, In
an article to appear Wednesday in
"Our City Schools" house organ OF
the school system.
Aristotle said: 1.-THE true aim Of
education is the attainment of hap
piness through perfect virtue"
Comenius said: Education is q
development of the whole man."
James said: Education is the
organization of acquired habits OF
action such as will lit the individual
to his physical and social environ
ment."
Training for All
"And according to Dewey: Educa-
ton is the process of remaking eX-
perience, giving it more social
value through increased individual
experience by giving the individual
better control over his own powers
Each of the authors felt his con-
ception would insure success tC
those who complied with the re-
quirements," said Underwood. INC
one has attained the goal of educa-
ton. 1t recedes constantly before
him in his climb upward.
1.-The fundamental object of a
Democratic education today is to lift
the entire population to a higher
level of intelligence, conduct and
happiness. But it is only during the
last few years that we have caught
the true spirit of the meaning in
a democracy.
Democratic education in action is
relatively a new thing in the world
Education Must Change
1.-THE schooling that trains the
imagination and inculcates III the
minds of the pupils taste and love
for good reading will contribute
more for the happiness and uplift
of the masses than any other one
thing that the school may attempt
to do.
Every one should be taught to
think and to get the facts out of
any situation. In the present day
we are thinking faster and doing
things faster than ever before
Greater wonders are being accom-
plished.
Education must change to meet
the needs of a changing world"

Browns Boy had thrown a stick that
had landed very close to where Whitley
was squatting. He had Jumped and
run, But no harm had come from this
and presently Farmer Browns Boy and
Bowser the Hound had tramped away
across the Green Meadows.
1t was the very next day that Whitley
saw Farmer Browns Boy again. AT the
time little Mrs. Peter was taking a nap
in another part of the dear Old Briar-
patch and Peter Rabbit was over in
the Green Forest, Whitley kept himself
hidden. In fact, he kept himself so we'll
hidden that he couldn't see Farmer
Browns Boy and what he was doing
after the latter reached the dear Old
Briar- patch But he could hear him
doing something over ON one edge.
Finally all was quiet and after little
Whitley ventured to crawl out where
he could peek out OF the dear Old
Briar-patch. Farmer Browns Boy was
tramping away across the Green
Meadows.
Whitley watched until Farmer Browns
Boy had become a Speck in the dis
lance. Then he started for the place
where he had heard Farmer Browns
Bow at work. 1t was right at the Ell
trance to one of Peter Rabbits private
little paths that led out near patch
of sweet clover. When Whitley reached
the end of the private little path he
discovered something queer. At least
ii was queer TO him. 1t was like little
house.
For long, long time Whitley sat STAR
ing at it. As he sat in that little path
looking straight at 1t he seemed to be
looking straight into 1t, for 1t seemed to
be open at one end, He hoped little

tickled his nose. 1t was the smell of
carrot. Yes. sir. that Is what 1t was!
And right at his feet he discovered
little piece of carrot. He nibbled 1t. II

Pretty soon that piece of carrot had

enough of 1t to make him want more.
and inside that queer little house he
could see some more.
