TaB9y Bells and TOst Examinations.
EDIPoBs NEWS .-Fhe article in yes
terday's News from the Wichita Eagle
touched a chord in my heart. The ner-
vous little ones. our love aud care need
an earnest plea. Two things in our
SCHOOLS are constant breads: "Will l be
tardysi' and Scan I PISS my exawiua-
ton and not be degraded s. The Eagle
we'll says: unjust the lives Of our ner-
y0us ones be harrassed by the Changing
tardy bells? From the moment they
are ont of bed their worry commences.
Food is half eaten-their delicate and
tender organizations are put to an eter--
nal strap. There is got day passes
that these little tender Eonls may not be
seen rushing in every direction with tears
streaming down their cheeks for fear they
mGy be late" and meet the frowns
OF strict teacher We add then, the
worry of examination week. The ana
ieties, nervousness and headache, fer
the larger ones. Truly, it is refined tor:
ture and it makes our blood boil within
US. Can these things be remedied? We
think they can. A teacher who is fit to
teach can soon learn which pupils are
tardy of their own accord, and need
watching. Some honest little faces
never lie. Again, teacher who has
charge of room for any length OF TING
ought to be able to tell by daily stand
ing and advancement whether pupil
is entitled 10 he advanced to higher
grade or retarded. l claim that if
teacher cannot tell which pupils should
be advanced at the end of
of each tsrm-oF month if necessary
without test examination she is not
fit to hold the position she occupies,
How much more does she know about
the standing of her pupils after the ex-
animation than she did before? Abso-
lutely no more. How much are the pu-
pills benefited by the examination?
Have not the scare and excitement in
jured them more than tbs exercise of
memory has done them good? l give
these reflections for what they are
worth, hoping that they may do some
one some good. If this article should
provoke discussion we are ready.

While the results of the liquor cases

count this term have not been such as TO
encourage the friends of temperance in
this they have atleast demon
strated the power of tine liquor interest

shameless methods. The demoralizing
influence of the rum traffic is nowhere
more noticeable than in our courts and
the course of certain witnesses and in.

demonstrates the great danger 10 the
peace and order of society which
