persons by many thousands are engaged,
are telegraphed throughout the land, and
lively interest 10 them is manifested ty
/ all; but this is scarcely noticed its
progress rarely commented upon. More
space is given to baseball, to wheat, or
to Commissioner Sparks than to this vital
subject. Is this because the "ways and
means of education, though an =" old,
old story" is not yet fully understood I?
We do dot believe with the Oregonian
that the most of teachers are "cranks,"
nor that each has a System" peculiar to
himself. They are much like other men;
they arc just as liable to make errors ::
but they are, on the whole, reading
and thinking class. They are willing to
to make the best possible use Of the
lights the past and the present have
given them. They wish to do SO; it is
for their interest to use these lights
Whether the pupils shall attain certain
proficiency in the three Rs within a
specified time is another question entirely.
The deep blowing looks no better than
the shallow: the result, the crop, deter
mines which is the better.
However, to accomplish in our schools
what we as people desire, something
more than the endcavor Of the teacher is
necessary. There must be united
effort on the part Of the teacher, pupil,
and parent. 1t is a long pull and a pull
all together to bring about the desired
end. II the two principal parts Of this
triumvirate do not work in harmony, the
effectiveness Of the school is diminished.
II there is difference Of opinion between
these two factors, fault finding will avail
nothing but injury to the most interested
party, the pupil Wait with patience
till the proper time and then get rid Of
one or the other. the teacher or the par,
cnt-always remembering that the per-
feet man resides in another realm. '
At the beginning Of this school year,
we would ask the patrons Of our various
schools to impress upon the minds Of the
children that going to school is their
occupation, their chief business, and that
irregularity Of attendance is the principal
means OF dctracting from the effectiveness,
the profits Of that business that as mel.
Their hardness nor frequent absence Of the
clerks would be tolerated by the merchant
neither should they be by the teacher.
The banc of many schools, especially
those Of the country, is irregular attend.
ance, and this glaring fault is usually
occasioned by those controlling the pupil.
Methodical habits are an important part
Of an education and for this reason, ifI
the most good shall be obtained from the
school, punctuality must DO insisted upon |
BY all the interested parties, thereby
gaining for the child one Of the necessi-
ties Of successful career. Let US labor
to secure this discipline for the children
and strive in every locality by concert Of
action to make our schools better than
ever before.

IDAHO POLITICS.

Il is with great hesitation that The
Tribune ever refers to the local politics
of Idaho. But in some matters the inter.
ests Of Idaho and Utah are inseparably
connected, and principle here is prin.
ciple there. We have always thought
that it was more than foolishness. that it
was almost criminal, for the Gentiles
here TO divide up into parties and factions
20 long as there remains an overwhelming
foreign power under perfect discipline in
possession Of the Territory and deter.
mined to stand in the path Of free
thought and free ballot. In Idaho the
Gentiles are confronted by the same spirit,
though in our sister Territory the power
Is not entrenched as it is here. Hence,
what should be the rule here should he
the rule there. Chief Justice Hays has
decided that the test oath act, passed by
the last Idaho Legislature, is constitu-
tional, which virtually DISTINGUISHES the
Mormons Of Idaho. On the strength Of
this decision We notice, with exceeding
regret, that the Statesman Of Boise
takes the ground that the Mormon ques-
tion in idaho il finally disposed Of; that
there is no longer any anti Norman issue,
aud that henceforth the people must
stand firm, according to the respective
belief Of each man, as Democrats or Re-
publicans. We regret this and hope that
it will not be encouraged by the Republi.
cans Of Idaho, 6nt, because it seems to
Us that it is unwise, and second, that it
y most unjust. We think it uuwise
because the decision of Chief Justice
Hays does not end the matter, does not
\ ,arly end il. The case viii Of course
b, appealed. In case the Supreme
Court Of the United States afirms the
decision, even then the matter will not be
ended, because the Mormon chiefs are
sirewd enough to see that if the torce Of
such blow Is that cannot be broken in
Idaho, il will reluir. but a simple act Of
Congress TO fix things in Utah so that
they will BE- shoru Of every vestise Of
political power. They will try al means
y overthrow the law. and ii they fail
they will absolve their people 10 Idaho
10 that every one will ta.e the oath.
Until the Mormon rulers decide to with
iraw their hands and their power from
p,litics altog ,th,r, AMI release the super
'titious chains which they keep welded

Waking one,s Self at Will.

An old problem of the psychologists has
been revived by letter to La Mature writ
ten by French business man, who men
lions that for years he has been in the
habit of waking himself at any hour in the
morning he wished, simply by impressing
upon his mind before going to sleep the
fact that he must awake at that hour, and
saving further that he seldom varies five
minutes from the moment which he had
assigned himself We have a very distinct
recollection of many instances in which we
have ourselves tried the experiment with
success, and at one time, when it was nee
essary for q considerable period for us to
wake on certain days of the week at very
early hour, to take the train to the place
where our services were then needed, we
had an opportunity of studying the cir
cumstances under which this peculiar
species of seIf-control is most easily exer-
cised Dufing this period we found no
difficulty in waking regularly within about
five minutes of the time necessary to ena-
bic Us to reach the train comfortably, al
though for portion Of the time this in
volved getting up long before daylight !;
but we discovered also that in order to
wake with precision at the right moment,
and to rest quietly until it arrived, it was
necessary 70 look at our watch just before
going to sleep If we neglected this pre-
caution we we're apt to sleep uneasily, wax
ing first an hour or more before the proper
time, and allowing ourselves in conse-
quence only short maps afterward until the
minute arrived for getting up. Whatever
part of our mind it might have been that
took charge Of waking US, seemed to begin
its count Of hours from the time at which
we composed ourselves TO sleep and if We
did not inform ourselves Of this, our con-
scious reckoning was correspondingly IN
certain and the effort to wake vague, but if
we took clear note of the time in the
evening we could sleep peacefully through
the whole of the allotted interval, sure of
being aroused at Or very near its expira-
ton Another condition of waking we
found to be the occurrence of some small
external event, through which, as 1t were,
the internal effort could take effect upon
our senses. A very trifing circumstance
the tiutter of q leaf outside the window,
the chirp Of bird or any of the unnum
bered sounds Of early morning-was suffi-
Gent, if it happened at the right time, to
wake us by sort of magnifying process
which at that moment gave the power of
startling Us by noise which would at
other times be unnoticed but without such
sensible impression we think we should not
have walked. In fact, on one or two occa-
sions we remember TO have been impressed
with a dim consciousness Of waiting for
something to happen before waking, and
moment later a trihing sound would open
our senses with a little shock. To the ne
cessity of waiting for this impression, small
as it may be, We were disposed to attribute
the variation of minute or two either
way from the exact moment assigned for
waking, which might otherwise be kept
with exact punctuality.-L American Arch
itect.

THE WORLDS TEMPERATURES.

THE WORLDS TEMPERATURES.-F
the records collected by the Royal Mete-
geological Society for one hundred years,
it appears that the lowest mean tempera-
ture for January in London occurred in
1895, and was 255 degrees Fahrenheit.
The highest mean for January-f7 de-
grees-was reached in 1896. The lowest
mean temperature for July was 55.5 de-
grces, in 1916, and the highest was 6S
degrees, in HIS and 1859 The mean an
nual temperatures of different places have
been found by the society to be as follows
Ferozepore, in the Punjaub, 95 degrees ;
Calcutta, ST. Hong Kong, - ; Cairo, II ;
Rome, 60; Constantinople, 5S PeSin, % ;
st. Petersburg. 40; Uammerfest, So; Fort
Enterprise, "A; Boothia Felix, ); and Mel

atures recorded at several stations are, for
Muruk. in Fezzan. l35 degrees; Bagdad,
l20; Cairo, Il6; Jerusalem, l02; Green

Is IT a CASTOR on WELL?-A well
on The farm of Wilbur Gutchess twenty
four feet deep, went dry this summer and
Mr.. Clutches thought it a good time to
deepen it. Gilbert Il Newkirk were en-
gagged. and drilled it fourteen feet deeper,
finishing last Monday The drill Went
through several kinds of hard pan, and
lastly into soft blue rock, where a vein of
water was reached, which Immediately
filed the well To depth Of fourteen feet,
running in 50 fast it is impossible to lower
it by pumping. The water, when stand
ing in bucket or tank, appears to have a
scum on top which resembles petroleum in
every respect. But the water smells and
tastes like castor oil, and not living
thing on the farm, even the poultry, will
touch it. Mr.. Clutches carries bottle of
the water around for people to taste, and
all accuse him OF filing up castor oil
bottle with water; but such is not the
case as can be proved to the satisfaction OF
any who will take the trouble to visit the

Sweet Kate at Wyndhams Dairy, and Jack {

Sweet Kate at Wyndham's Dairy, and Jack of
Oldham Mill
G, long they WOO and fond they Good faith
ful Jack and Jill
But times were bad for lass and lad, and sadly
both confessed
Twas not the thing to buy the ring before
they'd lined the nest.
" Courage, lad p said Katie. q Yes, Wen have
to wait
But though, my dear, it's twenty year, I'll take
no other mate"
But England wanted Jacky. for war was in the
air,
And arms more grim were pressd on him than
Katies bonny pair.
So all through Spain, in rough campaign, he
chivied bold Mossoo
And fired his gun and made him run like fun at
Waterloo.
When the lads came round her, Katie babe
them pack;
There's girls enough for you to WOO Il mean to
wait for jack
The gray in Katie's ringlets were mingling with
the brown,
When bump-a-thump, an eager stump came
peggirg through the town.
" It's me, you see, come back says he, except
a leg or So
And safe and sound here's twenty pound so
let the parson know
Jingle, jangle jingle set the bells a-chime,
And health and bliss to love like this that
bIavely bides its time. -[Good Words
