The Gary Schools
Considered Ideal
Tlio School System Adopted by
the New Indiana Town Ih
Conimciitcd On Children
Taught to l'lny.
Tho root trouble with our ontlro
cducntlonnl system, Including the
public schools and universities Is that
they are not democratic. Doing an
Institution, tho school Is clamped by
tho dead hand of tho monarchic,
caste-Infested past.
The school, In a democracy, ought
to preparo tho child to work; not to
bo a gcntlomnn, n scholar, or n ser
vant. The Idea of tho three D's,
doctor of law, doctor of medicine,
and doctor of theology, still hampers
all education. Tho public school has
no business preparing a child for n
"degree" It should prepare him to
be n useful citizen.
In n democracy, too, the school
ought to study tho child and devolop
his natural gifts; it should not seek
to make him conform to somo theo
retical standard. Tho nation exists
for tho Individual.
Thcro Is one town in tho United
States where they havo n real school.
It Is Gary, Intl. As far as I know
It Is the only place where- the public
school, by tho consent of tho whole
community, has been freed from edu
cational noneenso and adapted to
psychological truth and actual hu
man life.
Teachers, or, bettor, nchool trus
tees, ought to go there on a yenrly
pilgrimage.
Tho Oary schools nro under tho
management of William Wirt, n man
with lilcns, courago to stand by
them, and shrowdncss enough to get
them put Into practice. Ho ts helped
considerably by tho factB that tho city
Is only nbout four years old, tho citi
zens wldc-awnko and tho genus moss
bnck has not yet had tlmo to grow.
Hero are a few of tho features of
tho Gary nchool system:
Tho buildings nro open nil day,
from eight-thirty In tho morning to
ten at night. Of course children nro
not compelled to attond nil tho time,
but they may attend any tlmo. Pro
vision Is mado for nil of the child's
time. Tho "Street nnd Alley" hours
of tho average boy usually undo
what the six hours of school havo
dono for his character.
Gary hrs teachers on tho play
ground. Children nro taught to play
as well as to work.
The tlmo of tho child is reasonably
divided between work nnd play.
Tho motive forco In tho Hchools Is
tho child's own activity and not tho
Imposed will of tho Instructors.
About three hours n day aro dovot
ed to tl.o ordinary studies, such as
reading, writing nnd arithmetic.
Thrco nnd n half hours nro taken up
In manual training, scientific experi
ment, nuiflc nnd gymnasium work.
Tho rest of tho day Is for fun In tho
swimming pool, gymnasium nnd play
ground. Each department In under tho di
rection of nn expert.
Children of nil grades work to
gether. Thus tho youngor learn by
Imitating tho older, a much neglected
principle In tho common school.
Children nro taught to sow, uso tho
typewriter, and such things. Evory
on" learns somo useful work.
Thoso who deslro nro Instructed In
the various trndes under tho direction
of teachers who aro members of tho
trade union, nnd tho tlmo spent In
pchool Is applied upon tholr nppron-
tlcesMp.
While one set of pupils nro nt the
classroom' desks nnnthor sot nro busy
In tho playgrounds or manual train
ing department. Thus tho Bchool can
accommodate twlco tho number of
children that n school conducted In
tho ordinary way can look aftor.
There Is no threo months summer
vacation, n relic of tho days when
boys hnd to work on tho farm. No
child need attond school tho wholo
year and no teacher Is required to
work all tho tlmo; but tho school la
nlvpys open, excopt In August.
Tho Gary schools nro as full of
ldens as an egg Is full of meat. The
entire ensto pystem hns been abol
ished. Democracy Is Hiipromo. In
telligence has the right of way. Tho
qhosts of dead educational nations
havo ben banished.
And there Is not a town In tho
land where the Gary Ideas might not
ho anplled.

THE "LITTLE llROTIIKIt"
MOVEMENT AMONG ELKS
Tho following excerpts from tho
annual report of tho grand oxaltcd
ruler, August Herrmann, submitted
to tho grnnd lodgo of Elks nt Its ses
sion in Atlantic City, dcnls with tho
"Big Brother" movomont:
"I know of no subject which has
appealed bo strongly to mo, nor nny
that will appeal moro strongly to
you, my brothers, than tho Big Broth
ers movomont, which Inaugurated In
tho cast, nnd has spread to tho west
nnd which goes not nlono to works of
charity nnd bcnovolonco, but to tho
making of n hotter gonorntlon to fol
low us nnd to porpctunto tho work
of uplift.
"Tho Big nrothor movomont wns
brought to my attention nt Denver,
on tho occasldn of my recent visit
to thnt city, through nn address de
livered by Brother John Redding, of
Donver lodgo nnd his earnestness nnd
forcof illness In presontlng It, voryj
largely entered Into my determina
tion to present tho matter to tho,
grnnd lodgo.
"It Is a movement which involves
no expense. It Is n movomont which
Involves tho exorcise of that chnrlty
which lends tho boy tho Llttlo(
Brother who possibly, for Inck of
propor homo Influences, or hecauso'
of evil associations or becnuso of
what Is called Incorrigibility, has,
fallen nnd hns bitterness In his heart
to tho knowledgo of tho fact tVfit
ho Is an Integral part of humanity,
nnd that It depends In tho Inrgest do
greo, upon himself, whothor his fu
ture bo ono of rectltudo, making him
n vnliinblo oloment of society or oth
erwise. Tho work Is not dono by
severity, nor by distrust of his sin
cerity, but by kindness, shown to him
nnd continued to him by his nig
Brothers that Is to say by you my
brothers, who nro not calloused but
onco woro boys and know tho tomp
tntlons and tl'o dangers to which tho
boy Is oxposed.
"Tho Big Brother is not nn offi
cer of tho law. Ho Is nn offlcor of
Humanity, of Charity, of Gocd C.'tl-
zonshlp nnd of Kindness."

CIVIC IMFP.OVEMENT SOCIETY.
Every Progressive Community Ghoulf
Havo One,
Every community now without one
should organize n civic improvement
society.
At tho outset, or. Indeed, lit nil times,
it is best not to cumber the organiza
tion with tunny rules, else the restric
tions will be so many mid ho hard to
llvo up to that many members hecoinu
discouraged at tho start. But one tula
Is really uueded, and that Is that every
member agrees to devote some tlmo
personally to the work of the society,
cither In gathering fluids, superintend
ing work or other active committee
duties.
Thcro are plenty of opportunities for
ncttvo work In every small town, and
no resident need go out of his own
premises to note some surrounding
spot that merits more or less attention
In order to elevate the general tone of
tho neighborhood. Has your commu
nity a live society V If not. ennnot you
bo the organizer of one? Our best
communities, thoe that prove most
nttructlvu to home seekers, have each
had a live bocloty'for yeurs. Without
at least one uo place mnUes a health
ful growth.
