goose chase after the phantom of Pro

1t would seem to be Inevitable, under
existing circumstances, that the Repub-
lican Presidential ticket viii be chosen.
The disaffsetiOn toward Democracy
created by its candidates and platform,
is not confined to voters who favor But
Ter. There are thousands of Democrats,
as is VVell-knOwn, who aVOw a purpose
TO emphasize their displeasure with the
attitude in which their puFty has beea
placed bY the machine bosses by voting
directly for Blaine and Logan Electors,
and these greatly Outnumber the paltry
squad of treache-Ous - Independents "
who, under the guise of administrative
refOrmers. are supporting the Democ-
racY with a view to the promotion of
free trade and the cheapening Of home
labor. The prospects of Repubicanism
were hardly ever better at the present
stage Of a Presidential canvass than they
arc now, and improvement is far more
likely than deterioration. Our Demo
cratic brethren are whistling in the
graveyard Of hope, trying to keep their
courage up Troy (N. - Times.

Education, Here and Elsewhere.

Education Here and Elsewhere.
A matter consisting principally of
statistical statements is not very inter
esting at best, and when roughly
handled as this is likely TO be, much
Ofthe little attraction lingering around
the subject may be extracted. Be this
as it may. however, it is my purpose
to compare statistically Kansas with
some OF heI sister states lying north OF
Mason and DiXOn's Line, y and one
or two lying south Of the same. These
comparisons will be made to cover
the general condition of the schools;
teachers and their support
Kansas, in moulding her system Of
public schools, attempted to embody
the exCeliencies of other systems and
profit by their defects. Her OppOrtu-
mites have been good, her citizens en-
ergetic and public spirited and thus the
ground work for a fine educational
system has been laid.
We, as citizens Of Kansas, are apt
to point with pride to our system Of
public schools, and the pride IS par
dOnuble, but we must not forget that
there is no observable standstill IN
nature-we must advance or retro
grade. we must not, ia cur faith,
think all is well and drop OF into a
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep,-fOr all Is mo
ton.
We are surrounded by as earnest
and active cOmmOnW eaIths as our
own, and it Will be in sha ne that we
open our closed eye lids and IND that
changes have gone on, and advance
ment been made to which we are not
party,
But this may be the case for faith
must give way to fact.
Kansas has many things of which
she may be justly proud. The edu-
catiOnaI institutions are active, the
interest good and the support liberal.
But we must remember that we said
with the tide. we have no bitter OPP
position to overcome, no caste TO live
down. Kansas has had her struggle
TOR free soil, aid popular education
and freedom won. No Berkeley has
been permitted TO declare: II thank
God that there are no free schools nor
printing presses here, and 1 hope We
shall not have them these hundred
years"
Here, as elsewhere, much depends
upOn the teacher. LAS is the teacher
so is the schOul' is often quoted and,
in many instances, truly, but a good
/ teacher, no matter how excellent, can
! not make a coed school in some com
munities. Public sentiment CONTROLS
education ana forces the employ meuL
| of good teachers. Because kansas has
/ been so liberal in providing for her
/ schools, and her people so ready to
/ make sacrifices for their support is the
/ reason that we take our present edu-
! cational rank among States.
while it is possible to succeed in
t spite Of legislation, it is much more
/ certain and easy to succeed in con
! Torrance with it.
In the article which succeeds this
! we will review our system and by
/ comparison with others, show where
! it might be prO6tably amended.

Many persons speak depreciati ngly
Of Young teachers and Of the work ac-
eomplished by them. They have no
words Of encouragement, no kind assist
aDcs to render. Dlating particularly
on the young teacher is ineXperience
and educational needs They do not
remember that many and many q slime
these young teachers make mp in enthu-
eiasro and earnestness Of work (nPces-
sarv qualifications for the successful
feachel) what they mag lack in educa-
tionaI advantages and at times riValng
