Washington. Mother and father have gone back to school. The urge for education to keep apace with the younger generation of today has Infected adult according to Miss E. Ruth Pyrtle, president of the National Education association. "People don't have to work as many hours each day as they did years ago and therefore more leisure time is devoted to study, Miss Pyrtle said.

"And there. Is no age limit to education;" the elder set learns as rapidly as the youth. Miss Pyrtle pointed out that a sur-vey made in 3,000 communities showed 300,000 adults had enrolled in schoolrf or-various--eeurses-thls-win-ter. These grownups are taking subjects ranging from homemaking to medicine and law. Meantime the younger generation is moving ahead, educationally speaking, at a rate much, faster than did their parents.

Youths of today have profited by the experiences of their parents and grasp what they are taught in a shorter time than was necessary a decade ago. Miss Pyrtle said. Better Discipline. Youths of today are more easily disciplined nnd have better habits and have brighter ideals. Miss Pyrtle said.

"The younger generation really appear more Intelligent than their forefathers. They are keener and visual ize 'an entire world, while 40 years ago they could see but a community. "But the three It's are still the fun damental basis for education of both the old nnd the young. More time Is consumed teaching, reading, writing and arithmetic in schools than is allocated to other subjects. "Art, music, science, literature, geography and history are also essential In the curriculum, for youths must have at least a smattering of these to cope with the modern problems of today.

"Character education and vocational training are also coming to the fore" as essential subjects of education. Teachers are realizing that in many cases it is we! I to specialize on some subjects for individuals best adapted to them." More Prcfceme to Meet. Miss Pyrtle pointed out that youths of today have more problems to meet than those of a generation ago, and, that they must face, more 'problems and attractions that break Into their studies. The educational exjiert said youths of today had many "foolish habits," but these did not retard" their ability to learn. "The use of cosmet'es in a classroom often causes the pupil to lose an Important point while applying a tip-stick or powdering the nose.

Itut such habits can be overlooked, as they are natural and teachers remember that' they, too; had habits while attending school. "All in all the younger generation must be modern to keep apace with the times. They are quicker think ers and better observers than the youths of yesteryear. With the airplane, telephone, radio and other modern devices they Just have to be."

Bartells, who left his home twenty-eight years ago and whose monument has stood in the Alma city cemetery with the Inscription that he died in liMH), came back to Alma especially to visit "his" grave. Now wants to know who is burled in Bartells grave. One of the pallbearers at Bartells" burial wns J. U. Thompson.

Iist week, ns Thompson walked down the street, tie "met Bartells, Tace to face. "My God!" exclaimed Thompson. "What are you doing walking down the street here? You're buried out here In the graveyard." "I came back to see my grave," answered Rat-tells. "Come out to the eemetery and show me where I'm buried." They visited the Bartells' family lot and there was a gravestone witli the engraving: "John F. Bartells.

185G-, 1WH." In the same lot were the graves of Bartells' mother anil father ami three other memiiers of the family. Bartells Walks Out, "If it isn't you in this grave, who is it?" demanded Thompson. "I don't know who It is, but I know It Is not my body tliat's in there," replied Bartells. Barteils was nn "old timer" in Alma. He came here in 1877 and is now seventy-three years old.

He married Miss Etta Hunter in Alma in 1SSS. Some years later Kartells nnd his ivife moved' to Neosho, Mo, renting out their farm in this country. But Bartells and his wife didn't get along together very well. Bartells picked up his hnt and walked out of the door. "I'm leaving for good," he called to Mrs.

Bartells, "And I don't care If you never Come back," answered the wife. Under the Missouri law, after a husband has been away for seven years nnd nothing heard from him in that time, he may he declared "deud" by tire courts, even though lie be alive somewhere. So, in 1908, after Bartells lmd been gone the required seven years, Mrs. Bartells went Into court and had her husband declared "dead." Hi8-rstnte was probated and. the Ne- arm W1S Mven to Mrs.

But the wife still held a regard for the missing husband, nndxwlien. in 11W0, she read the description of st man found (lead in Illinois, and that description fitted her husband, Mrs. Bartells made a trip to that stale to view the remains. Hiie identified it as' the body of her husband aiid had it brought back to Alma for burial in the family plot.

In the time. Bartells was llv- Ing ItiChicago. Ho rend in newspa per of that clfy that his liody had been Identified by Mrs. Bartells, and he let It go at that. Later Mrs.

Bartells learned her husband was sttll living. There was a knock" on the door of Mrs, Bartells' home, in Neosho, one morning In 1010. She opened the door. There ood her husband -who she thought she had buried in Alma. But It didn't faze her for a minute, "Come back, have you?" ulie said, without batting an eye, "Well, you'd 'better be on your way again." So John 'Bartells-.

turned and left the place. He didn't get inside the door. He left Neosho nt once and went to Baltimore, where he has been living ever since; Mrs. Barte.ls and her daughter soon left Neojsho nd moved to California. John p9novan of Boston Now Is Superstitious Boston, Mass.

Literature, reference books and works on natural history contain numerous references to the "crushing embrace" or "deathly hug" of bears.

Fope, for Instance, says, "'Tis a bear's talent not to kick, but-hug." Nearly all careful observers are agreed that this notion Is erroneous. It probably arose from faulty observation, Br. W. Reld Blair, director of the New York Zoological park, says on this subject: "In regard to the proverbial hug, the story is apparently devoid foundation.
