THE REAL SANTA
The Macon Telegraph had a timely, occasional editorial the other day
touching the reality of Santa Claus. It seems that somebody down in Ma
con had been impersonating the good saint of the Christmas time—days be
fore the 25th. The impersonation was not good—when the impersonator turned
round there were evidences of deception.
And the little boy of three and the mother of the little boy were hurt—
when the little boy discovered the deception and the mother of the little Woy
discovered that the little boy had discovered.
There is, of course, a real Santa Claus. He has regulation features and
standard costume. There are, it is true, some make-believes and shams and
counterfeits. But the real old saint will come to the homes of good girls
and boys on the evening before Christmas—and not before.
The imitations for commercial purposes, the impersonations for adver
tising effects, are all wrong. After the children grow up to be shoulder high
to daddy—they catch the unbelief and Santa Claus does not appear to them
even in dreams—though be is just a veritable Santa Claus, glimpses of
whom in far-apart intervals some of the tots have professed to see. .He is
real to them—because they believe in him.
Beware of unbeliefs—in a Real, Sure-enough, Truly Santa Claus.

BE A CRUTCH, NOT A CRIPPLE
A well known business man of Georgia has in a stated communication
to the press given some sage advice in these words: ...
"Be a crutch, not a cripple. Be an apostle of thrift in, your community.
Save! Make it good form in your section to take two good looks at a dol
lar before spending it”
This business man says that the heart of practical patriotiism just now
is to conserve cash, and the point Is well taken.
In most sections of the country and in most lines of business it is easy
to make money. It is up to the wise and the prudent to save some of the
money which is now easily made.
The opportunities to make money come occasionally; the opportunity to
save is ever-present. The American dollar was never more valuable than in
the good year, 1915. Despite the fact that the dollar purchases less of many
commodities just now than in some former years, the real value of the dol
lar, viewed in comparison with coming values, is greater than ever.
The real patriot Is the man who invests dollars where they will bring
in-larger sums; the true American is he who saves as well as makes money.
The opportunities for unusually profitable investments are more numerous
now than at any time in the history of the country.
Save dollars! Invest them in good enterprises!

REPORT IS A PROSPERITY NUMBER
The reports of the heads of the various departments of the federal gov
ernment, made to the session of congress which has just begun, nearly ail
sound like prosperity numbers, booster editions, good-times literature.
The report of the department of agriculture, for example, with its sta
tistics showing the value of crops in the United States this year to aggregate
five billions of dollars; the report of other departments, Indicating progress
and prosperity along all lines of agriculture, mining, manufacture, and
finance, are bright chapters in the record. .
As a fair sample of the “ring of good times” in the reports a few. para
graphs from the report i of the secretary of the treasury, Mr. McAdoc, will
be interesting: v
"Prosperity has been- firmly established throughout the country.
"Our financial resources are the greatest in our history, and our hank
ing system, through the -creation. and operation of the federal reserve sys
tem, is now the strongest In the world.
"We havH at last, a system of elastic credits responsive to the demands
of legitimate business.
“As recently as June 1, 1915, there were 300,000 idle cars; now there are
no idle cars or idle locomotives In the country, and the railroads are buying
new equipment
“Our stock of gold coin and bullion is $2,198,113,762, by far the greatest
amount of this precious metal ever held by any one country."

City Dwellers andJPneumonia
In the January American Magazine
Dr. Arthur R. Reynolds, former
Health Commissioner of Chicago, has
an interesting article on pneumonia,
showing why city people are peculiar
ly susceptible.
“The total deaths in Chicago from
all causes during the calendar yeai
1914,” he writes, “were 33,952; oi
these, 4,07|7 died from all forms ol
pneuomnia, and 3,908 died from all
forms of tuberculosis.
“Why use the figures for Chicago?
Because there aro no records for the
entire country, and the records of oth
er large cities are not at hand, but
will be found to follow very closely
the same relationship as those of Chi
cago,-varying, of course, from year to
year.
“Is mortality from pneumonia in
creasing? Yes—especially In cities.
“What change in human habits are
coincident with the increase of penu-
monla? A large increase in the num
ber of city dwellers compared with
the rural population. How does the
shifting of population to cities affect
the incidence of pneumonia? By in
creasing the number 'whose vigor and
resisting power is lessened by Indoor
life; by Increasing the number who
take Little outdoor exercise; by favor
ing over-indulgence In eating and
drinking; by increasing the facilities
for contact with Infection, and last,
but not least, by increasing the pollu
tion of the air that is breathed both
of the medical profession. Men must
learn what their daily need of food is,
and avoid excess. They must learn
that a fat man Is a vulnerable man
each man must learn what his weight
should be, and. keep within that
weight, while alcoholic beverages can
be eliminated as intelligent under
standing of human welfare advances.'
The father of one of the prize “bet
ter babies” in Atlanta has been held
by the courts for desertion. Eugenics
will have to take another step.

By FLORENCE PATTON.
Chicago.—A day in the Gary (Ind.)
schools and a half hour with William
A. Wirt, ^educational wizard, has just
been my privilege.
The day began at eight and ended
at five, the regular school period of
a Gary child, and I came away filled
with an almost reverent admiration for
this quiet, simple man of accomplish
ment. I could understand why his
revolution of Gary schools had urged
his name for superintendent, of Chica
go schools to succeed Mrs. Young, and
why New York city begged his advice
to the tune of $10,000, recently.
. Standing in the warm family atmos
phere of this Gary model place, I know
that I had hated the stereotyped school
day; the stiff standing shoulder to
shoulder in line to march to class; the
everlasting sameness of that morning
assembly; the clang of the bell; the
depression of that watch upon whis
pering—I always did have so much
to say to Mary or Sadie or Rose—;
the “sit up children—straight”—(it
was so comfy to lounge a bit—1 could
think better) and all the rest of It that
still endures and irks a child unmerci
fully.
How can the grade teacher with her
smattering of information expect to.
compete in interesting a child, with the
tutor, who, through specializing, is
thorough, Introspective, intuitive and
resourceful?
It isn’t the grade teacher who is to
blame. It’s the system.
It came over me so suddehly, so re
freshingly in the Emerson trip, that
I confess I was rattled when William
A. Wirt, superintendent of schools of
Gary, said he, was ready for a talk..
“What is It? What is it about this
place, that fit&pne like a rocking chair,
made to order ?” ! wanted to know.
And the quiet answer came pat; “It’s
the family spirit.” •
No Overworked Children.
I mentioned: the long period from
eight until five o’clock. Let nobody im
agine there are overworked children in
the Gary schools. Primarily, the extra
two hours from three to five, are
meant to keep-the hoy and girl ont of
the street It is a crime,, according
to Mr. Wirt, to let those two hours be
wasted, when they can he put In with
interesting play in the school.
For there is no work in the Gary
schools. It is all play, meant to be so.
And by the appearance of the children,
yon know this to he so.- The Emer
son, like the bigger Froebel school, ac
commodates the high school pupils,
the grade children and the kindergar
tens, all at the same time. Again It is
the family Idea. The younger ones
have constantly before them the ex
ample of the older children.
For instance, a'kindergarten room
may be placed next to the botany room
or the physics laboratory. How the
big eyes stare into those more digni
fied quarters, how the little imagina
tions plan to reach there someyijay
And I saw a high school pupil racing
along a corridor wiUi a little tad In
tow, when classes changed one hour.
As to changing there Is not set or
der, no rule, no stiff lining up. In class
and out, pupils are not subjected to the
constant “Sh!” admonishment The
teacher is more-like the mother of
the flock or the big sister, and down in
the shops the boys appear to be work
ing with father. , It is just because
there are no set prisonlike rules, that
there'is no noise and no disorder.
Some Group Always Playing.
And some group is playing all of
the time. There are about five acres
of playground about the school and
wading pool and garden for the spring
and summer. And the auditorium,
gymnasiums and swimming pool are
seldom empty. Some group is always
playing. When one of three groups
returns for arithmetic or drawing, an
other group goes out to" romp or to
music in the auditorium or down to the
city market And things are so ar
ranged that, it. the parents of a child
so desire, r play nour may be put in at
the family church for religious instruc
tion. The churches have co-operated
with Mr. Wirt in this.
Beeping into the cla^s rooms 1 saw
arithmetic pupils sitting about as they
pleased, whispering if tney chose, han
dling objects freely. In the Shops,
in most cases, presided over by
union man by the way, nobody ap
peared to oe instructed by the instruc
tor alone. A boy appeared to be learn
ing rorge work, for instance, as well
by consulting with a "more advanced
student, as from the teacher.
in drawing class, seventh graders
were lined up at easels with fourth
graders and one hign school boy was
working there with charcoal. This
whole room by the way, had been
painted by the painting boys, had been
stenciled and filled in by others;
window that offended by its stark ob
long, had been changed to stained glass
and its -casing was made in the shops.
At the Froebel school by the way,
all the tables and chairs, the cup
boards and cases, were made by the
boys. A boy working in the shop gets
his time card and is paid 60 cents an
hour. At the end of the week, he is
given a check which he deposits in the
(school hank and when he has saved
$80 he has made a credit toward gradu
ation.
Aloof Dignity of a Teller.
I went into the bank, which is run
by the pupils and one of the clerks,.
boy of about sixteen, showed me
around. He had all the aloof dignity
of the teller. He unbent a bit to tell.
me things, but when I inadvertently
wondered whether 1 could borrow ten
dollars or fifteen dollars he froze
again. I could monkey in the zoology
class, it appeared, but not in the bank,.
By the way, there is a .real zoo at
the school, the tenderer members are
inside and the tougher ones outside.
Cy De Vry of the Lincoln park zoo,
Chicago, has sent them a pair of hawks
and there are foxes and coyotes and
hens and pheasants and groundhogs,
and there was a bear. But he sickened
and was sent away. None of the ani
mals shows the slightest animosity to
ward the children. Both pupils and
animals have been trained to an un
derstanding of each other. The boys
may go into the foxes’ cage and pet
them and the coyotes yowl jealously.
We teach no sex hygiene here,”
said the zoology teacher, “but in our
classes the approaching motherhood of
a guinea pig and the birth of baby rab
bits, and so forth, are taken, quite as
a matter of course.”
I’d like to have lingered longer in
the zoo, the inner one particularly,
where I became an interested pupil
myself. The teacher has a skunk
there, deodorized, and in process of
taming. She claims that skunks are
fast displacing the Angora cat as a pet,
and those who have tried them say
they are more playful than kittens.
Every teacher in the Gary schools is
specialist. Classes visit her room
for what she can particularly give
them. Thus their interest is stimu
lated by the expression of a mind
skilled in one especial subject, instead
of dulled by the smattering out-and-
out driedness of the grade teacher’s
imperfect equipment.
Grown-Ups Attend School.
The question of lighting reminds
me of the evening classes. It is esti
mated that some 10,0W> people are in
structed daily in Gary, for the schools
are open to men and women until nine
at night, for any line of work they
choose to follow. In the art craft
'room I saw some of the silver work ol
a woman who intends making use ol
the teaching for a livelihood.
This interest of the pacenta Is one
of the particularly wise points in the
wise administration of Mr. Wirt. In a
mill city such as Gary the children
frequently are taken out of school at
fourteen and put to work.
Getting the parents to come to
school is stimulating their interest in
keeping the children there. And as
far as the children’s volition is con
cerned, they are not dashing for the
school exit by any,means.
The Emerson school has about 800
pupils. With its careful scattering of
class work and play time It could ac
commodate more. The Froebel has
1,900 day pupils and more than that at
night. I saw a girl In the cobbler’s
shop there mending her shoe under the
amused eyes of her instructor.
“She wanted to know how,” said the
cobbler teacher, “and so I let her. Lots
of the girls come to class here.”
I went to the Jefferson school, too,
the first school put up by the steel
mills people when they assayed the
sand waste and named It Gary. Mr.
Wirt speedily made an attic into
gymnasium, put in his special teach
ers and equipped his playground, and,
barring the elderly aspect of the place,
it is as model as any.
For the model of the Gary schools
consists of opportunity, extravagant
opportunity for work and play, work
made into play. And the running costs
no more than in any other city, pro
portionately, while the “attractions 1
are far ahead in number and in the
method in which they are presented.
