T.—UP—A school in which no grades or marks or promotions are used is conducted here to minister to the growing child, It s the Fairhope 8chool of Organic Education. The s:hool, directed by Mrs. Ma- rietta Johnson, is 21 years old and is free to the children of the town. The children are grouped accord. ing te their chronological age, the teacher providing for the group the activities and exercises suited to that age ind giving individual attention wher needed. No lessons are as- sigmd in the elementary school. ‘The group may gather around the teacher for a period of geography, hisory or literature. S8ome project miy be worked out or stories told. “The children are not hurried in tielr work, are not obliged to reach my external standard, but each day ¥ sufficient unto itselt,” Mra. John- son explained. “Instead of reading. writing, spell- ing and arithmetic the children un- der eight years of age are given a great deal of creative handwork, music and dancing, storles and nature and ample time for free play. “There are no desks at which the children must sit, but the tables and chairs being provided where the children may work. It is not a do- as-you-please plan. The children are obliged to follow the directions of the teacher in every respect, but the teacher is controlled in what she demands and endeavors to sustain thess demands on the basis that these are best for the child rather than merely convenient for the school. “The children pass from room to room automatically. No child may ever fall; no child may languish. The school must be a building process, never a breaking one. “At 14 years of age the young people enter the high school, not be- cause they have been specially pre- pared for the high school, but be- cause life indicates that they are ready for another process, that of the adolescent. The fundamental condition of growth for the adoles- cent is social. At the Fairhope school every effort is made to pro- vide a scholastic and social envi- ronment which will iead these young people into a larger life. Science and mathematics, history, literature and language are pursued. “In the high school there is some work assigned which the young people may do out of school. Much attention is given to creative hand- work, dramatics, folk dancing, sing- ing and sports in the high school. After four years of as serious, ear- nest work as can be obtained the students i the high school auto- matically quate.” GOTTON IS USED T0 MAKE HIGHWAY Carolina Product Makes Base of Roadbed Columbia, 8. C., Sept. 7 (P—South Carolinians, whose chief farm pro- duct fer many years has been cotton, now are riding over cotton roads. A heavy strip of the vegetable fibre is placed between the base and surface layers of the highways to make the concrete pouring more durable. The idea of using cotton as & binding originated with Charles H. Mooreficld, chief engineer of the South Carolina highway depart- ment and. has been put in practice by N. 8. Anderson, assistant to Moorefield. The plan has attracted widespread attention and inquiries congerning it have been received from all parts of the United States und from foreign countries. Re- cently highway engineers from Peru visited the state to investi- gate the method. A strip of coarsely woven cotton fabric is placed on top of the gravel or wrought concrete base of the highway and the asphalt is poured on top of the fal The experi- ment was first tried on a country highway two years ago and proved sugcessful. The heavy cotlon fabric (0 keep the asphalt from cr: It is especlally useful in prevent- ing breaking at the edge of the pav- ing. Although engineers are opti- mistic as to the use of the fabric they declare that a test of several years must be made before a for- inal statement is issued as to its merit. Utal’s Love of Sea Gull Changes to Bitterness Balt Lake City, Sept. 7.——The sep gull, once esteemed in Utah, is not so popular now. Bome thirty years 4go when Mor- tends mondom was threatened with a crop devastation due to an invasion of crickets thousands of the gracetul birds swept in trom the Pacific ccean, devoured the insect pests and averted a possible famine. To show their, appreciation Utah- ans erected a monument in honor of their winged friends. A great gull, sculptured with spread wings, is perched at the top. Now, the farmers complain, flocks of the birds make their home near Salt Lake and sally out into the fields to gorge themselves on cher- ries, other fruits and grain crops. They are so ravenuous and bold they can scarcely be shaken out of a truit tree. There is growing demand that the 1aw protecting gulis be repealed, and the bitterness of some farmers is such that they advocate tearing jown the sea guil monument.
