Methods of Education Too Much a Cramming Process Everyone admits that the methods of modern education are far from per- i feet; that the whole system is too j much a cramming process, too little j that "leading forth" of the individual ! mind which is implied in the etymol- j ogy of the word, declares a writer, j Too often the creative Imagination of ; the child is not only not developed?It ' Is deliberately snubbed and stifled. ; And even his critical faculty is dis- j couraged by the average teacher's au- j thoritative attitude, which repeats day > after day: "Your opinion is of no im-, portance; So-and-So (Addison, for ex-. ample) has been admired by two cen turies of competent judges, and it behooves young people like you to accept their opinion." j ?????????

Savages develop a better race than do civilized nations?because savages do not wear garters. Dr. Augusta Rucker of New York made this claim recently before the international conference of woman physicians, held in New York. She condemned children's garters and elastic shoulder straps, at the same time urging looser clothing for women, and thejabolishing of pointed toed shoes and high heels. if DOYOUKNOWTO \\\ The apple crop of 1919 in the \\\ Jj: United States is estimated at jf| |j| 25,000,000 barrels.

By breaking matches?that is, of course, matches one uses in lighting cigar, cigarette, pipe or gas stove? many fires that annually cause a loss ] of approximately $35,000,000 will be eliminated, according to a statement > by fire prevention authorities. And to spread the gospel of breaking matches and preventing fires, a nation-* 1 wide picture campaign of education is , to be started. i "Under existiLg conditions Amen- , ca's fire losses are increasing year by ] jrear," said Harvey Levey, educational director of a film company that is to produce the pictures. "There is only j one way it can be outdoue?that is by ( education. The fire departments are doing the best they can. Until the . people are educated to back them up America* will continue to pay?not only In money but iu lives, and that must be placed first." 1 The campaign will be put on in co- 1 operation with efforts of the bureau 5 of forestry of the department of agriculture. Films showing every phase of destruction by fire and of methods j to defeat heavy fire losses will be exhibited in theaters in every community in the country. Levey said. The first essential, Levey said, is the f breaking of lighted matches before they are thrown away. Much less chance will be afforded for a match to ignite adjacent combustible materials. < * i Use Two Hooks Instead of J One in Hanging Pintures 1 Neyer fasten picture wire to a pic- * tore so t>at, beginning at either side T of the picture in the back, it comes up to the hook on the molding in such 1 a way that a triangle is formed. While * not exactly a part of picture framing, the fastening of the wire or cord is f most essential, for even the most beau- < tifully framed picture should be so 1 hung that the actual mechanism of hanging is as inconspicuous as pos- ( sible. Therefore use two wires, fast- 1 ening them so that they are parallel i with the sides of the frame, and use j two hooks at the molding instead of ! one. If you can use cord or wire 1 which blends in with the wall itself < so much the better. j1 First in Pea Industry. jj Wisconsin supplies 49.7 per cent of Via pnmTnnr/tiol rioo r\ar*l- n-f fVi/i TTn?foit V.AA V- WUilAiV I V4. 111^ VS&AllV'l* States.

MULISH RECORDS If Arir.ial Committed Suicide He Is the First of His Tribe Thus to Shuffle Off. We are not prepared to accept without mental reservation the story from Brooklyn, that a mule, perhaps an exservice mule, committed suicide by plunging through the plate-glass front of an undertaker's office, after imbibing freely of 2.75 per cent beer. We know the mule; have known him from an early age. and we know the decimal stuff that passes for beer. That is to say, we have .heard about it. No self-respecting mule-^particnlarly if he came from Missouri?would drink 2.75 in the first place, and in the second place, if he did drink it it would not go to his head. It might go to his legs, his hindlegs, which are naturally of a nervous temperament, and likely to reach out at any time. We can Imagine no better way to put a "kick" in the brew than by first putting the brew in a mule. The average mule is looking for an excuse for kicking, anyway. Feed him up on the beer of commerce and leave the rest to his natural predisposition. He will register disgust in the obvious way. And then again mules never commit suicide. We have heard .of men committing suicide by twisting the mule's tail, but the hybrid himself is much in love with life. There's even a rumor in the South and Southwest that mules never die; that, barring accidental dissolution, they live forever. Be that as it may, Ave do not recall that we ever saw a mule suffering from age, or that was feeble in his right hind shoe. ?New York Morning Telegraph. MAGIC IN GOLD AND HUMOR How Happy Combination of the Two Put End to "Run" on Famous / English Bank. A story is told, with some reservation, by a London paper, concerning the grandfather of the well-known Quaker peer, Lord Peckover. The story goes that, during a run on the bank of which he was a principal, at one time known as that of Gurney, Birkbeck. Peckover & Co., he exhibited. within sight of the counter, bags full of gold, surmounted by a peck measure, also filled with sovereigns. "You see," he explained to the depositors anxious to draw their bal- j aDces, "that there is enough money for you all, and a peck over." This Is said to have terminated the run. Such is the magic of gold, and, of humor. One feels by ho means certain that stacks of "fivers" would have achieved the same happy result Or, to revert to the time of George III, when the sum of twopence was represented by a solid two-ounce coin, would a large pile of these weighty "cartwheels" have allayed the fears of the small depositor? No! Not even a warehouseful !?Christian Science Monitor. Hope Not All Abandoned. Miss Threeyears was watching the grizzly bear in his new cage to the northwest of the lion house. A reL-ently constructed chain of bear and pther auiinal cages there has added immensely to the attraction of the place. Somebody threw the old grizzly a peanut, and then another, hut both nuts hit the bars and fell just outside he caa*\ The bear reached his paw J hrough and tried to scoop the temptug; nuic in. but his long:, yellow claws seemed to he in his way. He had to use his claws as a sort of ake. and the spaces between the )rongs of his rake proved too wide, ;o the peanuts slipped through. Mi to Threeyears was most sympathetic. The poor bear couldn't get his >eanuts. But there was yet hope. The ceeper would be around shortly with j he bear's dinner, and then? "Maybe he can get it wif a fork or i 'poon," she said.?Washington Star. Didn't Work Out Right.
