That was the theory of “formal discipline”; and on the strength of it pupils were urged to study rigorously precise subjects like mathema- tics and Latin, even when it was conceded that these were not likely to be used very much di- rectly in everyday life. Nowadays psychologists do not believe that separate mental “faculties” exist, and many \ex- periments have shown that the “transfer” of the effects of training from one field to another is very much less than everyone used to suppose. And so‘the object of well-directed school work today is not so much to “cultivate” or strengthen minds and faculties as to teach the thing that is worth while to know, to satisfy natural curi- osity, to give larger points of view and broader sympathies, in short to enrich the life of the pupil and help him to adapt himself to the world of things and people in which he will have to live. This is simpler and more human, and the change of object gives a more dignified place in the school to things like music and dancing, which overcome social awkwardness and add to the joy of living{4o domestic science and manual train- ing, which give skill and courage to face the ma- terial world; to nature study and the social sciences, with all their human interest. 7 Mitch Palmer is investigating the ouija board. Hasn’t Washington a coroner? q EXAMPLE Carlyle had labored for months gathering ma- terial for his great work, “The French Revolu- tion.” He had much of the Mss. completed, written’ in those biting sentences, for which he afterward became famous. fo } Written’ in long-hand, the mere phsical labor of penning it was not inconsiderable. A careless servant destroyed the precious Mss. | Carlyle was in despair. He flung his pen aside, | thinking néver to take it up again. For weeks , he moped about, unable to oversome his discour- | agement. One day, he watched a man laying bricks. He was eg a common workman, except that he was in love with his work. He tapped every brick, he laid, and leveled it, and the stroke of his trowel was a caféss. Every little while he stepped back and took a survey of his work, with the gratified | eye of an artist. j Being in love with his:work, he. did not count the hours or limit the number of bricks he was to lay and his work grew rapidly under his hands, Carlyle was thrilled with the man’s attitude of mind and shamed by his earnestness of pur- in a few weeks had recovered his lost ground. The book was completed and ranks as one of the world’s masterpieces. As the cost of living does down, the under- - takers reduce prices so you can’t enjoy both ben-|" efits. THIS IS FOR BOSSES Some newspapers are conducting “Good Boss ter the names of employers who have earned their respect and affection. ; Now what is a good boss? For one thing, a good boss is one who cares for the good opinion of his men, and tries to earn it. There may be extant some survivors of the old- fashione@ type of boss who was fond of saying he didn’t give a rap what his men thought of him. still obtain that the most efficient boss is the one who is most cordially disliked. This theory springs from the false notion that it is the function of a boss to drive and crack the whip and, by earning the dislike of his men, prove that he is a good, hard driver. Men work under him, but never with such a boss—and unwilling labor is not efficient labor. A boss gets no more out of his men than what of friendliness he puts into their hearts. f “Give me a boss,” says a writer in The Lamp, “who has worked hard and accomplished much. “who has met the challenge of adversity with a glad smile, and listened to the flattery of suc~- cess with a doubting ear. “Who has never belittled the labor that gave him his bread, or fawned on the hand that made up the payroll. j “Give me this man for my boss and I'll not work under him, but with him.” Such a boss is the ideal of every worker. The yearning to work WITH, to be more than a cog in a machine, to play a man’s part is in the heart of every toiler. It is a foolish boss, an inefficient boss, who fails to give effect to this wholesome yearning. Z j Spaghetti broke, up an Italian hunger strike. What would break yours, liver and bacon?, THE BIG WIND When elderly Irishmen are assembled for friendly discussion, they frequently refer, in fix- ing dates, as before or after the night of the big wind. Many younger people take that phrase as a mere figure of speech, without much real mean- ing. They are mistaken. e The fact is that “the night of the big wind” was a real occurence. It occurred in Ireland start- ing on the night of Jan. 6, 1839. Its force was so great that hundreds of houses were razed and ruined. And after the wind had accomplished a part of the destruction, fire, fanned into a roar- ing tempest, did the rest. Dublin was a terrible sufferer. 4 It was a storm of herculean proportions. Yet all old Irishmen knew it by no other name than the big wind, and they, and their sons and their grandsons, still so refer ,to it. j Of course, the great-great-grandggns of these kindly sires might ifeferi to it as “Some blow!” just as same fellow described the Grand Canyon as “Some Hole,”;but not the old folks. csi Doctors advise a diet of sour milk and potato skins. Serve ’em in a trough. The Turkey Gobbler has one chance for his life —they may keep his price too high. Maybe stealing second, robbing batters of hits and “throwing” the ball dsetroyed the morals of some players. Spain’s new premier promises a program of social reform but one wonders if Spain’s inten- tions are like her castles.

ALSO IN ILLINOIS North Dakota is not the only state in which party lines are being shot to pieces when the con- sideration of state questions is reached. j In Illinois, at recent primary election Small was nominated for governor on the Republican ticket by a small plurality over Oglesby. Small had the support of the radical element of the state, and his nomination was hailed as a victory for the radicals, and for Mayor Thompson, of Chicago, whose pandering to that element’ has been notorious. Law-and-order Republicans in large numbers have repudiated the nomination of Small and; have declared themselves for Lewis, the Demo- cratic nominee. Ilinoig)Republicans are not great- ly. enamored of Senator Lewis, as a rule, as" he has been too closely identified with the. national Democratic administration forthem to be very enthusiastic over him. But they will go a long way rather than have their state fall into the; clutches of Socialists and Communists. | While this is going on in Illinois, the same spirit is exhibiting itself in the opposite party manner in Montana. There the Socialist. candi- date, nominated directly by the Townley forces, bears the Democratic label. ‘And for this reason Montana Democrats who are opposed to Social- ism are supporting the_Republican nominee for governor.—Grand Forks Herald. THE SOCIALISTS’ RECORD , Four years of Socialist rule in North Dakota have brought: Wheat prices that are below the vost of pro- duction ; State flour mills which pay the farmers 50 to, = 75 cents less for their grain than it costs them to grow it; i State flour mills. which charge the consumers $2 a barrel more for flour than the privately owned mills which compete with it and have to pay taxes from which the state mill is exempt; A state owned bank which keeps $10,000,000 of North Dakota public money on deposit with ; the big city banks outside the state at a time when the money is most needed in North Dakota, and which refuses to deposit that money in North Dakota banks for fear they will lend it to the farmers and “not be able to get it»back” ; Tripled taxes which add still another burden to the high cost of living in this state, which high cost of living the state administrator has done nothing to lower. “ Yet the Socialist gang which has been respon- sible for this four years of misrule, now seeks re-election as the friend of both the farmer and the consumer.—Fargo Forum. 4 ee | The Experiences i | Of Hiram Wise & “fe INTRODUCTION “Hiram Wise” is a farmer of | the old school who believes in the “emancyashun o’ humanity.” Be- \ ing a forward looking man, he is one of the first to join the Non- partisan {league when its organ- izers visited his community.
