' Society Is beginning to return from Us

will find the majority who have spent
the last few weeks out of town back horns
gain. The opening of school will bring
people home with a rush, for tha young
folks must be gotten off by the middle of
Bp ember at tho latest.
While they have .spent comparatively lit- ,
tie time In town this summer tha departure
Of the college set wllj.be felt, for these
energetic young folks have way of fin
ishing up in a whirl and things will seem
the quieter for this Inevitable finale.
But the autumn always brings pltnty of
Interesting things to command fashionable
timo and attention. There are debutantes
to be Introduced, several fashionable wed
dings are In prospect and then there Is
tha Ak-Sar-Een ball and the queen.
Prospects are now that there will be no
horse show In Omaha this1 fall and, while
Society will doulHltss ' be disappointed at
. the omission there will be other things
to take Its place In a measure, at least.
' 1 One of the Interesting 'weddings sched
uled for the autumn Is to be that of the
daughter of a prominent Jurist snd a young
attorney. The wedding haa been set tor
the second week of September and. It Is
to Include several unique features. The
( bride, who is one of the most stunning
' ' (iris In the younger set, will wear her
, mother's brldsl g6wu and veil. The wed
, ding guests will lncludo few outside the
' family circles. Among the wedding gifts,
, which have already begun to arrive, was
a request from a. bschclor uncle that his
niece purchase her flat silver and fill In
On, the blank check accompanying the re
quiist whatever the amount might be.
The gift, as It now rests at the home of
( the prospective bride, includes thirteen
iloien pieces. A complete dinner set of
(oalport china and a completely equipped
linen chest are among the other gifts
already arrived from uncles and aunts
of tho bride. In addition to these gifts,

NEW. WAY TO TEACH YOUNG
Edwin Collins Fight with
London County Council.
EDUCATION FROM ASSISIILATI03
Inatraetor's Children Taosht Aleaa
Theoe Maes Ahead of Peblle
School Paella of the
Same A are.
LONDON. Aug. I9.-Speclat.) There ts a
man In London who has beaten the London
County Council Educational committee
after a tight lasting seversl years. He has
compelled the court to sdmlt that his
system of education, which the education
authorities say Is all wrong, 1 all right,
and In a few week he is going to open a
high class school within thirty miles et
London where his theories will be put
Into practice. The man Is Edwin Collin,
a university man. a writer and a teacher
who does not believe In teaching st ail
that Is, In the ordinary acceptation of the
word "teaching." His motto Is that "child
ren should be taught little and should
learn much." His theory snd practice are
that no child ahbuld be asked to undertake
formal tcsaons until it I 9 or 10 years old
and that until It reaches that age It should
be allowed to run practically wild and
assimilate knowledge aa a flower gather
Its sweetness from the sunshine.
Aathorltles Defied.
Mr. Collins haa been at war with the
education authorities over the education
of his own eight children. The law of
England says that every child must go to
school. If a child does not attend the pub
lic schools the school attendance officer
calls to find out why, and If the parent
can satisfy him that the child Is being
sufficiently educated elsewhere all Is well.
If not the parent Is summoned to appear
before a magistrate and If he cannot sat
isfy the magistrate he Is fined, snd If the
offense continue he Is fined again as
often as the attendance officer finds time
to summon him.
Collins has been fined many times for
not sending his four older children to
school. The British magistrate Is Impatient
of new Ideas snd when he learned that
Mr. Collins' idea of education was to al
low his children to grow up as plants and
flowers grow, he became Impatient and re
fused to listen to more. Collins Insisted,
however, and he ha Just ueceeded In
forcing; the unwilling admlaslon from the
magistrate that his children were far In
advance of the public school children of
the same age. The sequel to this decision
la the opening of the Collins" school, where
he will teach children on the same line
that he has taught his own.
Collins Well Edacated.
Collins Is a graduate of the University
of London of the Borbonne In Paris, and
of Heidelberg university In Germany. He
ha been a tutor In high class educational
Institutions for years and he has prepared
students for university examinations. From
(his It will be seen that he haa no preju
dice against the ordinary learning. All that
he contends is that the average child is
stunted and weakened by being compelled
to tax Its brain and body by beginning Its
formal education too early.
"I do not believe in beginning to learn
the formal things too early," said Mr.
Collins to mo today. "Children should be
encouraged to ask question, to learn rather
than to be taught. My eldest boy could
not read a line until ha was years old.
Then he learned the alphabet In a Week
and he learned It without any difficulty.
He Just asked his mother or me what
the letters were and in a week he was
reading for his own pleasure. Before that,
of course, w had read to him poetry,
Shakespeare's plays and many other things
which were suitable to his understanding.
Since then he has read all of Shakespeare,
several of the English poets and a great
deal of the finest English literature."
Young; Boy Proves Marvel.
This boy, Ivan Julius Collins, was exam
ined by the magistrate, and It was his
proficiency that forced the London magis
trate to decide In favor of Collins' system.
He Is now 14 years old and his upbring
ing 1 evident both In hi physical and men
tal equipment. He Is as tall and sturdy
a an ordinary English lad of 17 and he
can converse intelligently on most subjects
that would do credit to many grown men.
He has written article on the current po
litical and educational problems which
have been accepted on their merit by
leading English newspapers and maga
xlnes, und he ha also written verses which
display considerable merit.
Collins explained to me that he had been
asked to open a school In the country by
a number of person who wished him to
undertake the education of their children
and he will start with enough pupils to In
sure the financial success of the under
taking. "We will have children from 5 to 15
years old." he sai l, "and pia tlcally all our
teaching will be done out of door and by
the peripatetic method. No clsss will have
more than ten children, for no teacher can
give Individual attention to more. We will
have our classes In the gtrdens and fields
which surround the fine eld country house
that I have taken and we will adopt the
kindergarten method as much as possible.
I do not mean by this the formal kinder
garten method which would sheck Froebel
almost as much as the old system did, but
we will adopt his principles to our sur
roundings. Our class girdens and fields
will be well supplied with large black
boards at which the teacher can stop In hi
walk and illustrate his talk.
Sonietblua; of the System.
"The children will be encouraged to ask
questions. I want to encourage the natural
development of I leas. For Instance, If we
are having a history lesson and come one
suggests a gpograp':il al finest inn Rrowlna;
naturally out of the histrry, titer? Is no
reason why we shoill nit rrop the hlatnry
and follow th it line of thought. Ge-israphy
nay lead us Into mathematics and so on.
Tim rea:ort for this Is that the children
rhnuld rra'tzc the essential relation of all
branches cf knowledge to ienl life. In the
old-fa "hloned schocl each sub.'ect Is taught
by rote and th children seldom realize
that one lias any relation to .annther.
"For the same reason I have always
taught n-y children both arithmetic and
geometry by means cf matches or little
sticks. They Warn by laying two sticks
beside two othr sticks that two and two
make four and that simple addition and
multit lication have some reference to real
thing. The geometrical forms and their re
latcn.tci rcallt'ea cn le taught In the
same way. After they have mastered the
principle! In this way the formal learning
come) easily to them. It Is simply teaching
them to express In words what they al
ready fully understand.
"Ths religloua teaching In my schntd will
be very broad. I believe In giving each
child the essentials of religion and letting
the patents themselves fill in ths details of
whstever creed thy believe In. My prln
clial as-i.tart will be a cl-riymin In holy
orders, but I will not object to Noncon

PRATTLE OF THIS YOINGSTKR9.
Spectator (at roller skating rink) Llttl
boy, do you know who that handsome
young woman Is that skated past us just
now?
Vrrhir. Vrs, sir; that's my hlg sister.
She's the whole smrnr, ain't rife?
I.lttln Miss Margaret Is nothing if not
literal. To her a woil known sound upon
lr rnr, a himple sound is unto ner. tnd
It means nrthing in-re. Consequently
when she was asl;cd In a store whither
she and a small friend had heen taken
for a treat. "Will you have a chocolate
sundae?" Miss Margaret replied with de
cided emphasis:
"No'm; I'll have It now."
There Is a member of the faculty of
George Washington university who. to use
the word cf a colleague. "Is as rotund
physically as he is profound metaphy
sically." One day the professor chanced to coma
upon his children, of which he has. a
number, sll of whom were, to his aston
ishment, ensacid in an earnest discussion
of ths rnenir.g of the wird "absolute."
"Dad," queried one of the youngsters,
"can a man be absolutely good?"
"No," replied the father.
"Dad," put In anc-ther youngster, "can a
man be absolutely bad?"
"No."
"papa," ventured the third child, a girl,
"can a man be absolutely fat?'
Whereupon father fled Incontinently.
"My boy." said Popley. "it should be
your ambition to curve your name some
day upon ths temple of fame."
"Bay. pop," replied the boy, "thut re
minds me; you sin't never gev me that
Jackknlte wu promised me."

A Purchaser Remembers
Quality Long After She
Forgets Price.
Prices mesn nothing. It's quality that counts. Price making Is the least
of merchandising arts. Quality at a bargain price Is supreme evidence of super
iority. In this latter respect I excel. You buy something at La Book's, you
know the La Book guarantee la In It. through It and back of it. It means much
to be able to say "I had this marie at La Book's." It's the evidence of shrewd
merchandising on your psrt and its a positive proof of depenriablnness. I
fuarantee everything I make; as a njptter of fact I will not make anything
cannot guarantee.
