Public Schools.

The public schools open next We'd
nesday on which day regular work will
be begun in the grades. In the High
School time will first be devoted to the
examination of applicants for admls-
sion. The term applicant" as used
here includes all who may expect to
be enrolled in the High School. While
the standing of many is with us a mat
ter of personal knowledge and of 9TH
ers matter of record, still the law
enioins upon the boards having in
charge the high schools of the State,
to determine with the advice and con-
sent of the State Superintendent the
minimum standard of qualifications of
pupils for admission to these schools.
After careful reflection, the State SUI
perintendent judges that it is wise to
return the minimum standard which
has been In use during the past four
years. No certificate will be issued In
favor of any school to which pupils
have been admitted, without passing
thorough and satisfactory examina-
ton in these branches, namely:
ReGding.-Through the Fourth
Reader, so called.
SpeILing.-T ordinary words of
the same.
Writiag.-A fair, legible hand.
Arithmetic.- Fundamental rul es,
common and decimal fractions.
Geography.-Through U. S. with
geography of Wis.
English Grammar. -Etymology and
the general laws of syntax.
"Not less than ten questions in each
branch should be given, and correct
answers to at least seventy five per
cent. of these should be required.
The examinations should be in writ
ing and the papers should be SEM to
the State Supt. with the per cent.
marked on each answer.
Pupils will accordingly come pre-
pared to take these examinations, fur
nishing themselves with the needed
pens and legal cap paper,

Reflections on Autumn.

On recent tour from Wilson, Wis, through
the town of Spring Lake. Pierce Co., we saw fine
crops of wheat oats, and grass just harEested--a
most abundant harvest. Nature seemed to lend
her charms on every side, TO inspire emotions Of
gratitude and praise The forests had passed
through the high noon ofmid summer, aud were
slightly eolored by the effects Of the departing
year. At noon the lengthening shadows pro
claimed the suns decline to the southwark.
VIII it be said Of us, hat the har est is past the
summer is ended, and We are not saved" when
lifes conflicts are closed? We were reminded
in these reflections. Of earth's mutation. Thus
life. best joys decay. Beyond the reign Of
Of death there is a land where flowers DO not
fade. where the redeemed with Christ the Neil
ator. dwell with God, the father Of all.

The Pioneer Press figures out that a
bushel of wheat also cents is worth as
much for the practical purpose of ex-
change in 1884 as bushel of wheat
at Isl was in 1882. There has been, it
says, general and quite uniform de-
cline in prices within the last two
years, beginning and showing itself
most plainly in articles made from
iron, but extending to almost all man
ufactured products and articles Of do
nestle product and consumption.
Taking the articles in most common
use among farmers, lumber has fallen
20 to 25 per cent, hardware 25 to 30,
clothing Is to 20, groceries 10 to Is,
farm machinery20, fuel 10 and freight
rates to 10 per cent. The average
reduction in articles of domestic con-
sumption is at least equal to the 20 per
cent. by which wheat has fallen, and it
is accurate statement of a simple fact
to say that bushel Of wheat can be
exchanged for as much of eve rything
the producer needs as it could two
wears ago,
