WEST VIRGINIA'S BACK
TO-THE-LAND WORK
One States Experience Throws
Light on a General Movement
In This Country
By HAL CURTIS, In the Baltimore
Sunday Sun

By HAL CURTIS, In the Baltimore
Sunday Sun
For many years a "back-to-the-
land" movement has been urged in the
United States, but it has taken hard
times to make its argument effective.
Mr.. Farmers lot is still hard one,
but the powerful magnet of three
square meals day and comfortable
place to sleep has lured to the country
a good many people who lately have
found only mockery in the bright
light of the city. In the first three
months of 1882, for example, the net
farm gain of the United States was
263,000. Department of Agriculture
estimates placed the 1881 farm popu-
lation of the nation at 31,5O4,000, and
experts say if the gain made in 1882
should equal that of 1881 the total
would be 31,897,000, or nearly as great
at the peak figure of 100000, reach
ed by the nation in 1910. Figures
compiled by the Agriculture Depart
ment's bureau of economies show that
the movement to and from farms, by
geographic divisions, in 1918, the last
year for which complete and accurate
figures are available, was as follows:
To Farm From Farm
New England. ..... 10000 $4,000
Middle Atlantic go. $4,000 10000
East North Central. .265,OOO $4,000

The economy act, which resulted In

cowardly Congress"
1T is an insult to every one who

Nobody has been spared. A cruel in

GOOD TASTE TO-DAY

not matter whether ones ear for music,
ones eye for beauty ones sensitiveness
Of good taste has been unconsciously
acquired because one was brought up
in musical or artistic or DISTINGUISHED
surroundings, or whether one has
studiously acquired knowledge Of the
principles Of musical harmony or classic
beauty or the laws which govern good
taste
The most easily acquired branch OF
taste Gas have written in this column
before) Is taste in clothes. This Is be-
cause We all see clothes on people in
the streets and in public everywhere,
in every newspaper and illustrated
magazine. Moreover. we all have greater
or less practice in choosing-perhaps in
making-clothes for our children and
for ourselves every so often. knowledge
of perfect house decoration and fur
nishing Is achieved by lesser number.
because, first, far greater knowledge is
required, to produce a perfect room
than to produce a perfect dress; sec
ond, opportunity to study and COM
pare interiors is limited to the homes
of our friends and repeated practice in
decoration Is possible only to profess
sional decorators. The highest branch
of taste is that which. with infallible
instinct. chooses the perfect thing to
say. and do, and think in every situa-
ton that can be encountered In life.

ship, of duty through the work OF
their hands. Otherwise We have wordy
ethics, wordy codes and weak char
acterS.
AS the children advance in power to
gather ideas from words their need for
manual work is lessened, provided they
are the kind of children who are going
to be able to use symbols for their
thinking and their doing. This Is the
group who go to classical colleges. The
group who are to work with ma
terial things, with concrete ideas, need
manual work in some form through
out their secondary course and for
some time throughout their college
courses. The children in junior high
schools must have it in abundance.
The peak of the necessity is reached
there with the half-grown boys and
girls. Here we must have shops and
laboratories and studios that offer
varied opportunities of activity to
varied kinds of children.
We are not teaching trades. We are
not fitting children for work in indus
trial fields We are helping children
to clarity their ideas, to grow their
powers in the way nature provided for
their growth, activity. We lose great
part of the power of the younger gen.
erations by trying to train them in
opposition to their natures. 1t is easier
for us to make them sit still than
to teach them activity. We think 1t
is, but we are wrong. The children
slip away from us and we find. them
drifting across the world, an army OF
idlers. We are responsible.

Hand Training.

TO many teachers and parents hand
training In the schools Is an
old and accepted story. To others 1t
is still a questionable matter. That
is as it should be. I believe that all
educational activities in school or out
of 1t should be subjected to severe
questioning and when they cannot give
a good account of themselves. be dis
carded promptly.
Should children have manual train
ing in school? say "yes" because my
experience has taught me that chill
dren need to verify and clarity their
ideas by the work of their hands. I
believe that doing should be big part
of knowing from the kindergarten
through the junior high school courses.
After that it should be used In &C
cordance with the powers and trends
of the students.
Little children depend upon activity
for growth. They must grow the
muscles and the systems OF co-ordina-
tion which they are to use through
out their lives. They must feel things

can be no question about that.

SUMMERTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

REES droning; white clouds in full
- sail against a deep blue sky; and
the odor of clover, honeyed and IA
miliar and reminding one OF all the
other Summers-that is June. The
clover plant Is such a common thing
that no one gives it thought, or at
least not the praise that it deserves.
I'm aware that Irishmen have taken
the shamrock for their national SYM
boil, but as I understand it the word
seaman in Gaelic does not refer specif1-
cally to clover but to any three-lobed
leaf. I understand that the patriotic
son of Erin will put any such leaf In
his buttonhole, be it black medic leaf
or an oxaliS or wood-Sorrel leaf. They
all carry out the same motif, and sat
isfy him. 1t seems to me an excellent
symbol, for if Ireland were divided into
North, East, South and West, only three
out of the four quarters Is Irish; the
North-orange Ulster-will forever be
the missing leaf in green Ireland's four
leaved clover. So in the eternal mean
while she has taken In three-lobed
leaf for her symbol.
Out of II different sorts OF clovers
that grow around the District, just
one is a native plant, the rare little
Buffalo clover. All the rest of them,
all indeed that we're familiar with, have
been imported from Europe and have
naturalized themselves until now we
meet with clovers even in the woods,
and near marshy ground and In other
spots where foreign plants seldom pene-
trate But above all they frequent
lawns, vacant lots, roadside bitches, and
upland fields. There are yellow clovers,
mostly creeping in lawns; white clovers,
found everywhere, and red clovers like
wise; beside this there is the superb
Italian crimson clover, much cultivated
and sometimes lasting for short time
around the fields where it was grown,
though it does not persist like the 9TH
ers. I am especially fond CT rabbit
foot clover, with its soft silky paws"
and of the tall sweet-clover whose
delicious sunbaked odor is one of the
charms of our roadsides. where it grows
bravely in the dust and in unsightly
places, making them fair and filling
them with an odor that recalls vacation
to the mind
Clover would quite certainly have my
vote, if 1t were a question OF any wild
plants that combined beauty with use
fulress. For wherever clover grows 1t
leaves the soil richer and not poorer
than it found it, on account of the
bacterial colonies on its roots that re-
charge the soil with nitrogen as bat
terry is recharged with electricity. As
a lawn plant clover is in many ways
more beautiful, and less trouble. than
grass, and more effective in sitting
lawn weeds AS a forage plant for
animals it Is probably the best in the
world, anywhere. AS honey flower
there is nothing finer than plain clover
honey. Besides all this it feeds emu
merable kinds of butterflies, wild bees
and other lovely winged things. And
finally in its own right clover is a fair
little flower that would merit our af-
fection even if it were as useless as
/ the lilies.
