A PRosPEROUs FARMER.

CEDAR VALLEY, Chase Co., Kan.
DDAR News: Peaches in this
valley are certainly all killed. Have
not yet found one fruit bud good.
Fall wheat sowed early and well
put in, good. Late sowing badly
hurt by the cold.
Immigrants are coming to "pos-

room for thousands more.

EMPORIA NORMAL sCHOON.


We call the attention Of our rea-
ders to the following extract from
the report OF the board Of visitors.
the whole of which may DO found
In the report of the Superintendent
of Public Instruction: e-~
Hence they (the eommittee) feel
constrained TO recommend that
there should be no preparatory
work, so-cailed. done In the Normal
School proper; but that the entire
attention of the faculty be devoted
to purely normal work. High SAL
aFied professors occupied with mere
children in knowledge, is . fraud
upon the State and sn imposition
upon the faculty
The prime object Of Q Normal
Schoolis to teach the pupil how to
impart to. others the knowledge he
himself possesses. This may be
done In two ways. First, by exper-
iment In training or model school,
Second, by having each pupil teach
the class of which he Is a member,
under the guidance of the regular
teacher. The latter method We be-
lieve Is the true one. This is done
but partially at the Normal School,
and simply because It cannot BIZ
done while SO many OF the scholars
are possessed of such meagcr scho-
lsstic attachments.
The only argument set up In de-
fence of this preparatory depart
ment lie, that inasmuch as those for
whose benefit this literary "feast"
was originally provided do not ap-
pear In sufficient numbers to over
flow the building, that we should
90 out into the "highways and
hedges" and invite .the lame, the
halt and the blind" simply that the
'shouse might be dlled."
Your committee disclaim that
numbers should at all control the
standard of qualification for admis-
sion to the school.
Better, far, for the credit of the
and certainly better for
the public schools of the State, that
it send forth one full grown, prop
erly trained teacher, rather than n
tyros.
To recspitulate, we make these
points
FIRST, That no preparatory work
be done in the Normal School prop
er.
Second, That the school should be
separated into two departments, at
the earliest possible moment. The
one wherein only students of good
attainments-those seeking and pre-
pared for normal drill-aro admit
ted; III tine, the Normal School.
The other common school, well
graded, pupils being required TO pay
where the normal students
may be exercised under the guild
ance of q competent teacher critic;
This would constitute the model"
Dr. "training" school. -.-.
Third, The curriculum of studies
should be so arranged that no pupil
sf1all receives diploma until he has
passed a thorough examination in
the .TttR normal course. If . student
cannot atteud the full course with
out interruption, then let a hnlited
be given, IL found COM
oetent. ars W
This would be an intlucement TO
he holder 10 return and complete
he full course; thereby securing to
he State superior ella IS Of teach

THE DOCTRINES OF swEDESBORs.


EDITOR News: In an article on
the above subject In the News OF
the 7th inst, / directed attention
to the many and divergent deduc-
tons which have been made from
the apparent teachings of the
Sacred Scriptures. These differ
ences are too we'll known and I'M
derstood by the thoughtful stu
dent of theology to need more
abundant proof. By me, of their
existence. The problem, how to
solve the various discrepancies in
the letter Of the Word, is next in
order, and of vital importance.
On the FIRST publication, by our
author, of his writings. they were,
as I stated before, put before the
world anonymously; and the world
might have remained forever in
ignorance as to who the writer
was, without in the least degree
impairing their force as 3 power
the power OF truth for good. AZ.
ter time, however, some readers
saw them co be what he proclaim
ed them to be-a revelation from
Coda new light breaking forth
from the Divine word, and sought
him out and induced him to place
his name to his works; and this
name vas that Of Emanuel Swsd-
enborg. Although the truth OF
his writings can be, and Ii, well
attested to by ali the external evil
dence usually considered satisfac-
tory in such cases, those who have
become receivers OF the doctrines
therein set forth place but little
Importance upon that kind of evil
denee, resting, as they do, their
convictions upon the intrinsic
truthfulness, or internal evidences
contained in the writings them
selves, es may be readily seen
when viewed IN rational light.
Seen in this way they cast their
efulgent beams upon ell thingn.
They shine IS the tightening .sfrom

things. Imposition and deception
are simply impossibilities in the
case. The teachings Of science.

seen to be ia harmony With each
other; and the hitherto unfathom.
able chasm between them, which
has been supposed by many TO be
impossible, is bridged over.

Strange it surely is that our repre-

to be thus dipped into passing an
unjust law. Perhaps, however,
some of your readers may think
that this is presenting the matter

TOBACCO vs. INTELLIaEEoE.-At
the nearest recollection the in
ternal revenue report of last year
showed that the United States
consumed about 100000 600 cigars
during that time. Many old
smokers prefer the pipe to the
cigar, and probably as much to-
bacco is consumed in that way as
in cigars. However ont OF the
way numerically the previous
statement may be, il is true that
there are IN this country 1924
manufacturers of cigars, and they
employ u, 491 men. Wherever to-
bacco can he raised the farmer
finds 1t one OF the most profitable
crops, and consequently is very
apt TO cultivate it. Its use in
creases from year TO year in a
greater ratio than the population.
People differ 50 widely as to its
effects that it is only just, when
ever q candid statement is made
OF any test, to give it publicity.
Recently, at tho Polytechnic
School in Paris one OF. the PHofes-
sors inquired into the habits of
one hundred and sixty students
there, and then made a compari-
son between their tievotious to
study and TO smoke. He found
that 100 were smokers and So
never used, or said they never used,
the noxious weed. He then found
that in each grade OF the school
the students who did not smoke
outranked those who did smoke,
and that the scholarship or the
smokers steadily deteriorated as
the smokers contin ued. On ac-
count Of several Trustworthy re-
ports Of such q nature the Minis
