MINIATURE COLONY
SCHOOL
Making the school grounds a minia
ture colony, with the pupils busily en
gaged In hll kinds of productive occupa
tions, Is the device of the Bliley House
school, an open-all- school In England, as
described In a .bulletin just Issued by
the United States Bureau of Education.
Various minerals—coal. Iron ore, cop
per ore, lead ore, and gold quartz are
buried In different parts of the school
garden and the children go out “pros
peettng” for them. The finders become
captains of Industry. To work the mines
the captains of Industry engage labor
ers at the labor exchange, which Is mna
aged by one of the pupils. Boring is
then proceeded with, shufts are sunk,
winding apparatus Is constructed, and
the mineral is brought to the surface.
Here arises the need of coal, and a
system of transportation In the form ot
a miniature railway is organized, turn
aces are set up, factories are planned,
the possible markets for the product are
consldfved, and the importance of a
meichant marine Is recognized.
In close connection with the industrial
side of the colonization scheme the ag
ricultural plan is developed. A portion
of the garden Is cleared, a miniature
farm of six fields is prepared, and the
different methods of fencing are ap
plied to these fields. The ground is
plowed and crops ave sown in rotation —
wheat, potatoes, barley, oats, clover and
cabbage. A thatched log hut Is bui t
and furnished to serve as a homestead
for the farmers, and the necessary out
buildings—barn. stable, wagon shed, plg
strj, poultry house, and dog kennel —
are built around It.
All the school work Is done in close
relation to the community activities.
Practice in woodwork and carpentry Is
obtained by making a rabbit warren, an
aviary, insect cases, garden frames,
cases for weather Instruments, etc. The
use of ••puddling'" play and the mixing
of concrete and cement are illustrated
by constructing a pond, drainpipes, and
other mason work. There Is practical
arithmetic in the measurement of
lengths and distances, In estimating
costs and quantities. In finding heights
by means of simple instruments, in mak
ing records of rainfall, bafomter, ther
mometer. sunshine, etc., and In other
calculations required in garden and
manual work.
EIGHT O'CLOCK.

Of all the things the clock can say,
The one I do not like s
Is "Eight O’clock." that, twice a day,
The clocks and bells all strike.

And Eight is “Tlme-for-Bed";
And when it strikes, you have to go—
There's nothing to be said.
Sometimes it’s “Circuses" at Two.
And sometimes "Matinee, ’*

COLORADO UNIVERSITY
WANTS POST-SEASON GAME
New York.—The University of Colo
rado Is negotiating with the University
of Washington for a post-senson foot
ball g*mie to br played early in Decem
ber. The Colorado team won the champ
ionship of the Rocky Mountain confer
ence last season. Colorado teams have
made trips to the California coast and
are now anxious to play In the noit 11-
west. Dean Roberts, chairman of the
faculty committee, thinks there is no
valid reason why Washington should
not play Colorado. He states: ? 'lt would
be much better if we could play the
game earlier. However, I am in favor
of pkiying Colorado the first week in De
cember if the coach and players are
willing to keep In training that long."

The teacher had noticed something
queer about the rendering of a certain
line of a hymn frequently used In morn
ing school. One morning she deter
mined to get to the bottom of .the mys

peculiarity to Johnny.
•‘Ring it by yourself. Johnny," she
commanded. Johnny did so, and In
stead of the line "Weak and sinful
though we be.” he gave as his render

as evidence of the probability of his as

“The Essential Requisites of a Successful School”
By Miss Sadie Reese
Discussed By Rural School Teacher* of Richmond County in Regular Setaion Hare Yesterday Morning
Kite's lost her little boy today
eyee are tnolat mid aweet
And tendiT. as he went away
To hurry down the street
Bhe stood there for the longest while
And watched and watched him, then,
she Wild, and tried to force a smile
lie'll not come hack again,
•
Inside the house her tear# would come,
She sank Into a chair
And wept over the pattered drum
And trumpet lying there.
The sunshine stole Into the place
It only made her and
With thinking of the pretty grace
His baby tresses had.
She thought on alkliis little waya
She went to sec his crib
Up In the attic, then she d gace
On platter, spoon, and bib.
And all the trinkets he had that
So far to look upon
Each one of them the murmur brought
My little boy has gone.
She wandered through the house ail day
To come on things he'd left
And O she missed his noisy play
And felt herself bereft.
When he came running home at noon
To tell of schools delight
She hugged and kissed him mother
wise
With something of affright.
This is the pain in mothers' hearts
Now school days have begun
Each see the little child depart
The baby days are done
Each mother fain would slop her ears
And hush the calling bell
For somehow In its tones she hears
The sounding of a knell. .
THIS unecessnry suffering of the
average Ameriean woman would
be eliminated could she be made to
realize that: (1) In a land where educa-
tion holds a supreme place In the Ideals
and aspirations of the people the work
of the school becomes of Intrinsic Im
portance from the kindergarten on. The
child should receive an education which
is manifold In Its relations and which
must take account of all forms of pro
gress and invoke the realm of discovery
of man. (2) That the school she sends
her child to has the requisites that tend
to make a successful school. A mother
can Judge whether or not a school ’s
successful by discovering the following
essentials:
THE ESSENTIALS.
The teacher should he intellectually
fitted, well trained for her work; of an
equable temperament, energetic, enthu
siastic, should have an attractive per-*
sonality accompanied by physical stami
na, and last, but not least should lave
children.
'•Trust the children, do not doubt them,
Build a wall of love about them."
The successful teacher must love chil
dren, even naughty and troublesome
children. In fact, I think, she must
love the naughty ones best. The spirit
of love outpouring from tbs heart of the
teacher wins the confidence of children.
Affection is the means by which we de
velop character. She may be stern, but
she must never be Irritated, never lose
patience. Strive to interest the child,
for interest Is everything in a child’s
life He plays harder than he works
siinplv because play Is the greatest of
his instincts. He will work just as bard
i.h he plays if be Is Interested in it The
temperamental qualities of the teacher
have much to do with the economical,
or un-economloal, use of nervous energy
on the part of the children. A class of
children taught by a highly nervous, ir
ritable teacher will show much rnoro
fatigue than will a clasrf of children of
the same age. studying the same sub
ject under a teacher characterized by
poise and an equable temperament. She
must love teaching and not be bored and
wearied by it’s ever-recurring monot
ony, but must be Interested rather bv
Its ever-changing variety. Only what
comes from the heart can reach the
heart and what the best teacher and
only the born teacher can Impart is en
thusiasm. Hysfcms may teach facts,
but they ran never educate.
STABILITY.
Another exigency of a successful
school is stability. By stability Is meant
a certain school policy, upon which the
teacher, the parent and pupil can feel
the*t they can safely rely. There must
be stability in the course of study, In
the text bfKiks, in discipline, and attond
ance, in fact, all that gives permanency
to a public school. Stability in s course
of study means that each grade suc
ceeds the / one preceding It by gradual
degrees, so that when the ninth grade Is
concluded tlie* pupil has reached that
point in bis education where he has ac- j
quired the necessary foundation sor 1
citizenship. Stability of discipline means !
three things: even-tempered teachers, a
normal child, and a parent endowed with i
common sense.
Stability for a teacher means that she I
becomes familiar with the ways of h»*r .
fellow teachers, she becomes familiar

THE VACANT LOT
Nothing is more unsightly than the vacant lot. Ordi
narily it is a neglected spot, except for the casual use of
the small boy and his games, the browsing cow, or the
scratching hen. The owner does not clean it up, the city
says it does not belong to its departments, the neighbors
refuse to interfere, and so the vacant lot is given over to
waste paper, trash and weeds. On both sides are we!l
kept houses and yards, and the passer-by wonders why
the people tolerate an unsightly spot in a prominent place.
Why not ask the owners of vacant lots to allow the
children of the town to use them for school gardens, both
flowers and vegetables? We can well imagine how lovely
some of the vacant lots will look if they are plotted into
walks and beds, each section given over to one or two
children to plant and care for, seeds and tools supplied
free of cost, and a prize of $lO offered for the.best bed,
and smaller prizes for other well kept beds.
This exhibition of flower and vegetable garden keep
ing will not only beautify the vacant lot, but will also
have its influence on the home lots and yards.

years of age nnd that the work of school
only supplements the teachings of the
home, hence, the necessity of organiz

and the school.

WHAT IS POSSIBLE IN
CO-OPERATIVE WORK
The work of Mr. Hliuford, of llhkorp 9
N. C., was strong enough for the Coitg*
try Gentleman to use a story In two in
rudiments, which created much com
ment and was entitled, "The Uutterf.it
Uplift." It seems that Catawba coun
ty, N. C\, bad stopped growing and Ilka
most localities that stop growing. It was
slipping down hill. A great amount of
cot ton was being raised and marketed
end many of the children were being
pushed Into the cotton mill* Instead of
being In school.
Walter J. Fhuford begin to see things
In the future, things that were dimly
possible. At last he found 111 Field
Agent Conover, the man who could real
ly help him. These two men worked
for a long while against the distrust and
skepticism of the farmers and growers
of Catawba county, but at lust they pc.-
minded a number of these men to sign
a Joint note for $1,500 that a co-opera
tive creamery might be launched. This
creamery began operation In June, 15*10.
La si October the sales for the month
amounted to more than SIO,OOO. At no
time has the Increase in business been
tremendous, II bus been a steady, con
serve five growth that means eventually
tlist Catawba county will be rich both
in fertile Isnda and Lank account*.
Tho interest tn co-operation In Ca
eggs have been added to the butter AS
tiiwlm county lias become so great that
eggs have been added to the butter as a
selling proposition and eventually It Is
planned to handle dressed poultry In
fancy paokuge*. In tjie old day* before
the creamery wos launched, farmer*
were able to sell butter from 12 to 20
cents per pound. Today the avrfrago
price Is 33 cents In cash and not In
trsdo at the store us It was originally.
The of Farmers and Busi
ness Men which 1* to meet In Doutavllle,
Ky April 7, K, V and 10 has arranged
to have Mr. Hhuford demonstrate what
Is possible tn co-operative work. It 1*
ii foregone conclusion that a man who
l as been able to do what he has dons In
Ids own heme, will be able to ideate
enough Interest and enthusiasm to or
ganize those present at this meeting for
similar enterprises at many points *n
