PROP. CHARLES
AND SlfLRASTOS
kAccocm
By B. E. POWELL of tho University
of Illinois.
HOW shall tho country boy and
girl be kept on th# farm? In
•pile of tho portcntouo anx
iety with which men of
weight and wisdom ask this question
-the answer .la simple. interest them lh_
tbo looming, dramatic life of the farm
and tt will be Impossible to drive them
away
Professor Charles of tho agricultural
department of tho University of Illi
nois thinks he sees the application. In
one of hla articles ho has said: "Since
tho attitude of tho country girl or boy
toward the farm life Is largely deter
mined before his high school days, the
Importance of reaching him early end
In tho best way Is apparent Teaching
ta perhaps the most difficult of all the
arte, but If tho results of modem sc1-!
entitle achievement can be placed be
fore the pupil while he still haa the
enthusiasm, ths alertness and the spirit
of Inquiry of youth the future of our
agriculture Is assured."
Note that last. "The future of our
agriculture la assured." No uncertain
statement that—rather the word of
a man who has seen his vision clearly,
and has grasped Its significance surely.
In other words, the professor believes
that. If the country girl can be brought
to see the solid fun there Is In sclen
tlflcally coaxing an unoctentlflc old hen
to lay two eggs where she haa been In
U»a habit of depositing one. that girl
will not have brain room to harbor a
desire to thump the keys of a type
writer. If the country boy can be
brought to exercise hi# martial spirit
upon a bellicose army of Insect ma
rauders be will become eo Interested In
the light that bo will graduate from
college an Insect expert Instead of a
football authority
Illinois Professor’s Idea.
As a coKuiequence of this belief Pro
fessor Charles Is planning a systematic
attack upen agricultural courses. They
no longer are to be the property of the
colleges. They are to be given to the
elementary schools as wefl. The most
scientific principles of agriculture are
to b# adapted to the younger rhlldren.
These principles are to be worked out'
before their eye* and with their own
hand* whenever possible. Plant and
animal life In It* varying phases Is to
be part of tho school curriculum. This
moans the addition of gardens and
even boos to the school equipment,
neither one as expensive nor *a* diffi
cult as might seem at first thought.
With both of them Professor Charles
has experimented, and the results have
been most satisfactory. The work was
done while he was head of the scien
tific department of the Northern Illi
nois State Normal school, located at
l>ekalb.
It mas found (hat boys will raise
corn In tho fields with ns much xest ns
they will raise the devil on the city
streets; that girls find more pleasure
In presenting friends at Christmas with
flowers grown by their own care than
they ever And In giving meaningless
"doodads“ to collect dust on dressers.
And scientific principles are taught
while the corn and the roses nre grown
that prove every hit ss absorbing ns
the principles of poker taught In hay
mows or of elaborate hairdressing
taught In hot bedrooms.
The results of the work with the chil
dren proved to Professor Charles what
be long had suspected—humans havn a
strong Instinct for nature which needs
only the chance to develop
Battle With Snout Beetles.
A few years ago the farmers in a
certain section of llllnola were annoyed
by Insert pests that ware destroying
the young corn plants. They were
“«nout beetles.” so large that on* exas
perated farmer christened them ele
phant bugs. They throve on poisonous
sprays; they were unmolested by the
birds. A flock of chickens was turned
Into one field, and the bugs clamped
their stout legs about the chickens'
bills so tightly that they could not so
much as squawk as they flew from the
fray To Dr. Forbes, head of the state
laboratory of natural history, located
at the university, an appenl was dis
patched. He sent assistants to the
scene of distress, who after months of
Investigation and experiment found
that the Insects bred chiefly on rushes
which were especially nbundant on the
untllled lands Joining the cornfields. It
was found also that, while ordinary
means of extermination did not affect
them, careful and thorough cultivation
weuld free the fields from the pests. It
wss a twentieth century battle with a
belligerent nnd determined foe, and It
called for all the keenness of mind,
alertness of spirit and scientific knowl
edge that could be brought to bear.
This Idea of Introducing the study of
agriculture Into the elementary schools
Is the natural development from the
older nature study. One cannot but
notice In the nature study productions
of Mr. Charles the emphasis that Is
placed upon the practical. Do not tell
the child facts merely—prove them to
him. Do not be content to teach prin
ciples only—make the child exemplify
these principles by his own work.
A few pictures and descriptions of
the work done at Dekalb will make for
—ay ?
the beit understanding of vhit Pro
fessor Charles has accomplished. One
shows the boys at work In the gardens
devoted to vegetables and field crops.
Records were kept of all difficulties
and how they were turned Into tri
umphs by the use of fertilizers, rota
tion of crops, etc.
School Flower Gardens.
The school (lower gardens demon
strated that the unusual and the ex
pensive In plants are by no means
necessary If one eovets beauty about j
him. The near at hand often will yield
the best result*. Transplanted wild,
(lowers grew to rare beauty wben cod
dled In captivity Into doing their very
best, as the apray of bluebells (or, as It
sometimes Is known, Jacob's ladder)
proves. The children were taught the
economical value of our birds, especial
ly the commoner varieties.
Our plctur> shows live young screech
owls sbout three weeks old. which will
be ready to fly In a few days. The
sign upon whtch they sre perched
originally read. "No Shooting on These
(.rounds,” but a mischievous wag of a
lad. noticing the Utile screechers' habit j
of perching upon It. went aside from
bis studies In nature tong enough to
dispense with the “8.“ Several young
screech owls wage kept In the Dekalb j
zoo for the purpose of studying their'
feeding habits. Observations as accu
rate as possible were made also upon
the free birds It was found that the
screech owl Is a very useful citizen—a
real economic asset. In fact, as he Uves
largely upon caterpillars, moths, beetles
and mice.
A part of the work In the study of
birds done by the training school chil
dren was the taking of a bird census
of the school campus This comprised
seventy acree and, counting the nesta,
noting the varieties, etc-, proved a
very valuable form of Held study. One
of the Interesting things found In a
field not far from the campua waa a
meadow lark's nest with a cowblrd’a
egg In It. It may be new to some to
know that the cowblrd. which te the
smallest of our blackbirds builds no
nest and has no fixed habitation. Her
eggs she lays by stealth In the nests
of other birds to which she delegates;
the unwished for task of bringing up
her offspring. The oowblrd gets-Us
name from lie habit of staying around
cattle pastures. Often a row of them
may be seen perched upon an old cow's
spins she apparently glad to get her
back scratched with so little personal
effort.
The Schoolroom Zoo.
A word about the roo which Pro
fessor Charles established at Dekalh.
Its purpose was to develop an under
standing of animals, a sympathy for
them and a realisation of their value
economically In the scheme of things.
There were pet dogs and several pet
eats, which did not regard themselves
as connected with the too at all, hut aa
part of the school. The animals now
are being transferred to the state uni
versity, where they are received en
thuslastlcally by various men of act*'
enea. The wolf, Katrina, has been an
inmate of the soo for nine years and la
as playful as a kitten. “Rastua, the
coon." perched on Professor Charles'
shoulder, also is an old and privileged
resident of the moo.
Buddhism Passing Away.
The flight of the dalai lama from
Laasa on the approach of the Chinese
army, which hna reasserted the sover
eignty of China, shatters the spiritual
Influence Rnd authority of one of the
world's great pontiffs, revered by 100,
000.000 of human beings.
The dalai lama at Lasrn, selected
by a strange mixture of Intrigue and
superstition. Is to the Buddhists of1
northeastern Asia the representative off
Buddha on earth, the Incarnation of
the divine, the Infallible and Inspired
ruler of the spiritual forces of the uni
verse known to man. From the utter
most frozen boundaries of Siberia,
from the rice fields of China and Japan
and from the tropical islands of south
eastern Asia men save for a lifetime
to go on the arduous pilgrimage to
Lassa.
Inviolable In that city, encircled by
frozen and lofty wastes, he ruled alone, j
But his day Is over. First English:
snd then Chinese troops have driven I
him forth. He led four yeara ago to i
Pekin. Now he flees to India
Buddhism Itself Is passing. In China;
Its temples are falling to ruin and Its'
yellow clad priests grow fewer. In
Korea ita followers are turning to >
Christianity. Tn Japan I* f"—" 1 ■Kf ||_
ritual and service men accept and sup
port because the women still believe
!n It and go to temples In whieh by a
mutual division of labor the men pay
the bills and the women pray.
Early divided from the Tibetan cult,
the Buddhism of Ceylolf and Slam la
unaffected, but the Buddhism which
spreads over Siberia. Chinese Tartary.
China, Japan and a vast Island world
to the south reveres the dalal lama.
His going will change no local rite or
worship, but It Is the beginning of the
fall and passing of a faith which for
2.C00 years has profoundly Influenced
the lives, morals, acta and religious
thoughts of hundreds of millions.
Advertising In China
Consul Henry D. Baker offers the fol
lowing trade suggestions: I was Im
pressed with the possibilities of pic
torial advertising as a means of pro
moting American trade In China The
Chinese appear to have a fondness.
mounting almost to a veneration, for
pictures, and foreign art especially as
cites their attention because of its dif
ference to what they are accustomed
to. The people have an especial fas
cination for calendars, and they never
throw away a well Illustrated one, but
always keep It In a prominent place.
In supplying advertising calendars for
China some attention should be paid to
the special tastes or prejudices of the
people. I was told of one American
company which bad made a serious
mistake In haring used pictures of a
dog In Ita advertising posters. Doge
In China are mostly distinguished aa
street scavengers and are not cher
ished family pets, aa In the Occident.
Pietorial advertising makes it easier tor
American manufacturers to popularize
their trademarks, and once a certain
trademark is popularised no article In
that particular line will be bought un
less it bears that trademark.
WHITEHEAD SUIT
Dispute Over Paving Commissions
Makes Sudden Exit from
Court
While the c«st* was still on trial in
the City Circuit Court a compromise
effected Saturday in the suit of
John WMtehead, of Norfolk, for $20.
•00 against the Atlantic llltullthlc
Company, which, the plaintiff alleged,
Was Indebted to him for that amount
as commissions on paving contracts
procured f,,r the company In Nor
folk.
Several witnesses hud been heard
during the morning hours and the
lawyers were arguing on a motion,
when they suddenly eeaaed talking
and gathered outside the court-room
for a conference. Soon afterward
they returned, announcing that a set
tlement satisfactory to both sides had
been reached. The case was then
promptly dismissed from the docket,
each party to the suit agreeing to
■hare the costs. The terms of the
oomprorrtlse were not made public.
Aaked later as to this phase of the
matter. President George O. Tenney,
of the Bltulithlc Company, stated that
while he had no special objection to
divulging the figures of settlement,
he jhad ivomlsed Mr. Whitehead not
to do so. and consequently he felt
that Mr. Whitehead was the proper
person to glvo out the figures. If he
cared to do so.
An Ineffectual efTort was made to
locate Mr. Whitehead and his attor
neys.
Following the disposition of this
oaae, trial of the suit of the Western
State Hospital at Staunton against the
General Board of Hospitals for the
Insane was begun in the City Circuit
Court. The purpose of this suit Is to
determine the right of administrator

PHY DAY OF G. & 0.
MADE RATHER LATER
Change Made So as to Let Pay

End of Month.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
i will not pay off Its employees on the
12th of the month, as heretofore, but
will postpone pay-day to the 16th or
16th, and notice to this effect has been
posted In all the shop*.
Up to this time the pay-rolls have
been closed on the 27th, and thus the
men received pay for parts of two
months' service, which has resulted In
some confusion.
Recently many of the men employ
ed by the road united In a request
that the pay-rolls be closed on the
last of eaoh month In order that each
man might get the full pay of one
month on every pay-day
This has Just been granted and Is
now in effect, but slnee several days
are always required to cotnplete the
pay-rolls, the day of payment will
have lo be postponed several days If
the rolls are closed several days later.
Employees of the roatb who have
not understood the new oondltlon,
have been led to believe that this Is a
forerunner of the establishing of the
"dual pay-day" system, whereby the
men are paid every two weeks, but It
was learned this morning that such
Is not the case.
