health
This is a severe indictment. Can it
be proven? We feel sure it would not
stand against the schools Of Ohio, AMI We
do not believe it vii! even in Iowa. Scot
land may have an excellent school system;
but school system must be judged, not
by the way it is managed nor by the sal
aries paid the teachers, but by the results
which it produces-by the work which
it turns out. 1t is not necessary to look
at the machinery Of mill, or to ask what
salary the miller gets. If it uniformly
turns out more -four, from bushel OF
wheat, and Of better quality and in les
time than any other mill, it is the bes,
Applying this standard, it will certainly
have to be admitted that We have the bcs,
system Of education that has ever beer
devised The nations with which these
comparisons are made have had seycra
hundred years the start Of US. Yet w
have outstripped them all in all thos'
things that pertain to the intelligence
prosperity and welfare Of the whole PEG
pie. We freely concede that our schoo
system is not perfect, and that it ma,
and ought to be improved, but we ar,
not willing to concede that it is cxcelle,
by that Of any other nation, and mucl
less that it is a failure. One of the wors
) features about our schools is, that so man,
Of the teachers are SO poorly qualified, no
) SO much as to scholarship as to age an,
experience, many Of them being mcr
; boys and girls. But the fact that thes
young people can teach at ALL speaks vol
l umes for our schools and the intclligenc
Of our people. In no other country coul
I, they teach, even if they were pormit,c
} to try. The machinery of our school
might be more perfect and work wit
l less friction it VIC had strong cent "a
! government that would prescribe all tn
5 rules and regulations for their manage
ment, and see that these arc enforced, an
4 raise the money for their support by fore
+ ed taxation; but they would not have tn
, place in the hearts and affections of tn
people which they now have, nor woul
they accomplish the great results the
) now do. We do not want the Scotch O
the German system Of schools. 1t ma
. do well enough for the people over there
but will not answer our purpose. But
it any one prefers either Of these system
to our own, he has perfect right to cmi
crate and to enjoy the advantages arisin.
, thcrefrom to the extent of his ability.

Antelope have recently been so plenti
full between Green River and Granger,
Wyoming, on the Union Pacific railway
as to impede the passage Of trains a,
times, train being obliged to
come to full stop. Owing to the snow
in the mountains and foothills, they con
gregate in large droves on the alkali
desert between the places named, as but
very little snow ever lies in that locality.
