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. (From St. Nicholas.) 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. For Eight is “Time-for-School,” you know, 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, ’* And Three O’Clock is “School-is Through,” And Four O'clock Is Play.” And Five O'clock, and Nine, and Ten, Eleven O’Clock and One. Why, nice, “Perhaps-Thlngs" happen then — (“Perhaps” is always Bin). I And Twelve and Six go very fast, With “Thlngs-upon-a-Plate." But soon as Seven hurries past. You hear the clock strike Eight! go when I’m grown and have my say, And help to make things go, From every clock I know ! I’m going to take the "Eight" away.

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 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 AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA. with tho fhtrirem of h*»r neighborhood.

COORDINATE HOME AND SCHOOL. We ahoulo make the home and the school coordinate, thu* making the aim* of both the same The school ahould bo An adjunct of the home, nn originally dcßlgncd, not a aupplatiter of the home. The three right * of a child are: Right to happlncA*. the light of nelf-lnlatlve, the right of self-control.

They ahould realise the value of understanding the instincts. impulse*, desires. Idea*, and n*ptratlons of little children, of knowing how to develop their sense perception. how to guide their Imagination, how to strengthen aright their will power how to beet lead them out of childish caprtclousness Into rational thinking, how to quicken their social consciousness, how to train them to respect labor, and desire to be of service In the world Parents may help teacher* in their school work; (1) By 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. att-nrtlng with thr highest degree of ef flcienry to the things that belong only to them; (2) by honoring at home, in every way. the tenehers o( their chil dren; (3) by protecting their child dur ing school days Irom Intert-uptlons und distractions of their work. Every Intel ligent person knows that the child’s vi tal Interests are fixed for life before ten years of age nnd that the work of school only supplements the teachings of the home, hence, the necessity of organiz ing a close connection between the home and the school.

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.

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.

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.
