NERVE TO SPIKE MGRAW Dick Harle; Treatment of Qlant Manager One of Big Events in Baseball History. Dick Harley, old Cincinnati, Chica- 80 and Detroit outflelder, living ‘in Philadelphia, was the only player who ever had the nerve to spike Muggsy McGraw when McGraw played third base for Baltimore, and his treatment of the future Giant manager is one of the big events in baseball history as ball players remember fit. Players wore long, sharp spikes nine years ago. Basemen were cut and runners tripped In every game. Of the rough players McGraw was the rough- est, and all feared to try to get even with him, In a game between Baltimore and Detroit, McGraw got after Ducky Holmes, the Detroit outflelder. “How do you expect to play ball? Your Whole family died of consumption and you're full of it,” sald McGraw. Harley roomed with Holmes, and when he went to his hotel room af ter the game he found Ducky crying. “You leave McGraw to me,” sald Harley. Next day Harley slid into third base and cut a big gash in Mo Graw’s leg. After that Harley was the most respected base runner in the league. Basemen always gave him at least half the bag when he slid, and most of them gave him all the room be wanted STANTON FOR BIG SCHOOLS (Continued from Page 1.) portant,—such schools will have a far reaching influence for good from every viewpoint and upon every cit- izen, both old and young, in every community where they exist. They will constitute the centers from which will radiate the influences that go to make happy, contented, in- tellectual homes, so imperatively de- manded if we will perpetuate the great, free, independent republic of which we are all so proud. I am not unmindful of the fact that large schools cannot be maintained with- out good roads and I anticipate the objection by some that the roads must be first provided. True, to some extent, but permit me to sug- gest that a disposition on your part to establish the schools will be the greatest incentive to the construc- tion of good roads that your ingen- uity can conceive. One will demand the other, and together they will constitute the biggest boon to North- ern Minnesota that can be devised. Makes Practical Schools Possible. Such schools will make possible the advantages of industrial training in every community,—the teaching of manual training, domestic science and the elements of agriculture. These cannot be taken up in the iso- lated country school, and it is now generally conceded that our educa- tional system should have a practi- cal as well as a mental side; that it is the duty of the state to train the hands and bodily faculties of the children as well as the purely men- tal. Today, the idea of education along industrial lines is being thoroughly discussed and considered. It has passed through the experimental jstage and is now generally admit- ted to be wise and practical. All of our boys cannot become professional men. Probably not more than one out of a thousand would make a suc- cessful lawyer, and in any event, | that percentage of lawyers is all that we have any legitimate use for. Some of our boys must become business men, farmers, mechanics and labor- ers. Then, why not educate them so | that they will have the proper knowl- edge to fit themselves for the duties they will have to perform? Give our educational system a practical as well as a mental side. Putnam Law Proving Useful. The future prosperity of Minne- sota depends upon its agricultural and industrial resources. Our chil- dren are the men and women who must take up and carry on this work. Then how important it is that we shall educate them to do their part intelligently and well. The system is working well in Minnesota under what is known as the Putnam law enacted in 1909 and there is no doubt but that the state will sub- stantially aid in adding agricultural and trade departments to hundreds of country schools in the next few years. Farming is fast becoming a science, in which brain will count more than brawn, and we must give it the attention in our schools that it deserves. But to do this we must keep the children at home on the farms, and the only way to do this is to make the attendance of the ru- ral school large enough so that the required equipment and faculty can be provided. Prof. Aiton, state inspector of high schools, in his last annual report commends this department in school work, and says, “A common sense combination of academic and indus- trial work, the latter to include do- mestic science and agriculture, is the type of school that makes a hit with the public, and is the kind of school that will do the most good.” How to Keep Them on Farm I can express my own views no more clearly than to quote from an address before the Associated School Boards of Minnesota last November by Mr. George E. Perley, of Moor- head. Speaking of the tendency of the boys and girls to leave the farms and go to the cities,—and lamenting it,—he offered this solution of the problem: “Give the country good schools, where country boys and girls can be educated at home, at least through the eighth grade, edu- cate them toward the farm and not away from it, consolidate districts where practicable, build three and four room school houses, furnish free conveyance for pupils, establish grad- ed school work, furnish free text books, hire skilled teachers, buy a few acres of neighboring land and establish experimental farming, pur- chase an adequate school library, buy elementary scientific apparatus, provide a good gymnasium, add to the teaching of established subjects, as mathematics, elementary, science, literature, history, civics, oratory and debate; subjects closely related to country life, such as elementary agriculture and household and farm economics; provide schools, in short, where the country boy and girl shall be as nearly as possible on a par, as to opportunity for intellectual growth, with the city boy and girl; make the school, by the very reason of its excellence, respected by all, and an intellectual and social center, and you have struck at the very tap- root of the unrest and dissatisfac- tion, and the spirit of abandonment of country life. You may say, ‘Cer- tainly, but how is this to be accom- plished?” Probably it does demand the exercise of more brains and com- mon sense, and perhaps more money, than we have heretofore applied ‘to the problem. In many districts it would mean, first, the lengthening of the school year. Again it would mean the raising of more money. The rural districts are richer percapita than the cities and villages, but are willing to tax themselves for school support hardly more than one-fourth ag much as the city taxes itself. It will cost more brains, more common gense, more money, than we have been expending, to place the coun- try schools in Minnesota where they ought to be; but it will pay one hun- dred fold, and will, in my opinion, do more than all other means com- bined to make the cry‘ back to the farm,’ popular and a winner.” Day for Radical Change is Here. Improved country roads, the rural mail delivery and other ameliorations of country life are fast operating to stimulate the demand for better schools in the country. The small district system,—practically the same now as when you and I first began to toddle two or three miles to the little one room school house,—is behind the times, and the day for radical improvement is at hand. The feas- ibility of transporting children to and from school has demonstrated under different conditions in many states. When it is recalled that in this country about one half of eighteen million children in the ele- mentary schools are in the rural schools, it will be seen that the im- portance of this phase of school sup- ervision can hardly be overestimated. The recent keen interest displayed in Minnesota and by the federal gov- ernment in the construction of good {roads will mean great aid in the sol- ution of the problem. Our late state legislature, in the enactment of what is known as the Elwell law, provided for generous state aid for rural roads; and this same legislature, by submission of the “good roads” amendment to the state constitution has made it possible for the voters of the state to add a mil- lion dollars annually to thes tate highway fund. Don't forget to vote for the amendment. 1 am proud of the good, intelligent work that is be- ing done in our great state along educational lines, and it is a matter of keen regret to me that 1 cannot more actively prove my appreciation and do something worth while to as- sist in the work.

My system was filled with uric ‘acid that my kidneys failed to remove and I was often bothered by a shortness of breath. A few weeks ago I procured a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills and I am well pleased with the results I have thus far re- ceived from their use. I intend to taking this remedy.” (Statement given in August 1907). GOOD WORK Mrs. Kane was interviewed on October 6, 1910 and she said: i ¢ am glad to again endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills.
