"A small country . school, twenty miles from a rail­ road in the midst of sage brush, j«ick rabbits and mad coyotes," to -which she drove six miles every day in every kind of weather, was Miss D'anielson's initiation in the teaching business. "Some stormy mornings," she writes, " I would bundle up and drive the six. miles to school thinking to find at least one or two pupils brave enough to venture out and find no one." Miss Danielson is now happily sit­ uated-in her hoixje town where she is* teaching the third grade. People who new "Sammy" can hardly imagine her planting gar­ dens, setting turkeys and hens and retting enthusiastic over her head lettuce. But Mrs. Mabel Shaef- fer Maus is very contented on the ranch in Okanogan county and finds farming even more delightful than teaching. - - - • Edith Myers is teaching in Lower Naches.

Miss Gru^e assisted by Miss Nell Mitchell, visit- ed all the schools in Roslyn giving the Otis tests to the High school and the Terman Intelligence tests to the Juniors and Seniors. They also visited the Normal girls who are teaching in the grades and examined some of the children for them. The Cle Elum High school was very much interested in Miss Grupe's talk on psychology and the Value of Mental Testing. Miss Grupe and Miss Mitchell tested the Sophomores in the morning r spent the afternoon in testing grade children. These tests will prove very in­ teresting when they have been tab­ ulated with the ages and school grades of the students. The super­ intendents of both Roslyn and Gle Elum are enthusiastic over the work done and have, urged Mis' Grupe to return. * Miss Grupe and Miss Mitchell ex­ pect to go to Wapato or Mabton in two weeks.

TIPS ON EDUCATION BY A STUDENT The relation of liberal educa­ tion to vocational education is such a' close one that it is hard to tell which is which. We are all re­ ceiving more or less of a liberal education from, the time we take our first breath until our work, in this world is over. The great pity of our school system is, that chil­ dren are hindered from getting more liberal education by the in­ troduction of too much subject matter for the sake of the subject, without reference to what its func­ tion ought to ' be, in life. , The elementary school should provide a great field for experienc­ ing. When this is true, the firm base is Established for vocational educatioji. With large opportunity to expedience, to make knowledge function, the child gets his first insight to\the fact that school life has to do with community life. Says Pai'sons, "A man with knowl­ edge only, without power of orig­ inal thought and the ability to put h's ideas into' "effective execution, is little better than a book he con­ tains a record of facts- but can not huild or execute." • • The elementary school must- sees, j to it that each subject. has - -a- lih— eral practical value as- well- as a disciplinary value. In the ele­ mentary school there must of neces­ sity be more liberal education than (Continued on" 4th Page) • ' '/'•* " • -• •
