! prejudices, and unreliable in everything
A pupil ought never to be allowed tc
feel satisfied with a lesson until. he no,
only thinks he knows it but knows that he
knows it.
OF assigning special lessons for recita-
ton when visitors are present, it can only
be said that the practice is essentially dis
honest. Its object being to deceive the
patrons OF the school as to the real pro-
gress their children are making. Too Of.
ten it succeeds. But it's influence on the
pupils is still sadder feature. They
soon learn that they are acting lie with
the open encouragement of the teacher.
Small use Of attempting to instill into
their minds the beauty of an open, frank.
truthful character when they are called
upon to act lesson in deceit half dozen
times during the term-an all that the
teacher may enjoy, for the time, little
cheap notoriety as stirring, wide-awake,
pushing pedagogue.
An educated and trained mind is not
gained except by long continued hard
work any more than the well developed
muscles of the athlete. II one would be
an athletic thinker he must subject him
self to the discipline Of the athlete. Any
teaching that leaves out this fundamental
fact is worse than useless; and any teach
or who allows any different conception to
find Judgment in his pupils mind is false
to his trust. Better by far that child
never enter school room than that he
there learn to content himself with half
knowledge and delude himself with the
idea that because he has 'fbeen taught" a
book that therefore the book has sheen
through" him.
During ones school and college days
he is but entering the vestibule of the
temple of knowledge, the exploration of
whole pillard halls and stately domes may
be the supreme JOY of his soul in the
coming years. All are called to be High
Priests of Nature in the temple of knowl-
edge. All may stand in the Holy of Holes.
But it requires an earnest, humble, in
curing, teachable mind, unceasing and
unwearied in its seach for truth. A child
imbued with such principles and animat-
ed by such aims may, in the future years,
climb the Hottest pinnacle of that glorious
structure and from this vantage ground
obtain clearer conception of natures plan
and wiring from her secrets with which to
bless the world. What worse than folly
then-what crime it is to shut cut all
this glorious vision from a child just on
the Threshold of the temple of truth by
lulling him to sleep with the thought that
mysteries are revealed and his
education finished when once his sc hool
and college days are gone; or by exciting
him to expend his strength and ambition
on trivial details of the petty contentious
of the present. A teacher, who does so.
sins against himself in that that child
will bring curses instead of blessings on
his head when he realizes the full enorm-
ity of the wrong done him; he sins against
his country in that she has right to the
best powers each of her citizens is capa-
BILE of and he sins against God in MAX

EACH PAPER TO ITS DUTY.

One of the most commendable things
that we have seen lately, is the action pur-
sued by the WORLD, of Va Keeney, in
trying to get bill introduced and passed
to establish two state nurseries in this
state, both of them to be on the Tooth
meridian. One of them to be in Trego
county. the other further south, and the
purpose to be the propagating of forest
trees to be given away TO actual settlers
in Kansas. The plan is most excellent
one, and has much to commend itself to
the people of the state. It has been
proven beyond the shadow Of doubt that
forest trees will grow in western Kansas
and now the question is not, "Wil they
grow?" but what will we get and how will
we get them? What the people want is
home propagated trees, then the risk OF
death by transferring from cold, wet,
heavy eastern soil to a warm, light, mod
erateiy dry soil is entirely overcome, and
the percentage of death by transferring
would be no more than it is further east.
Then again, they would furnish thous-
ands of settlers with trees that are really
not able to buy the trees as sold by the
eastern nurseries, and thus thousands OF
farms would be beautifed and protected
by timber in few years. We sincerely
hope that such bill may be introduced,
and let every local paper see to it that the
representative of their district does not
pass it by unheeded.1 Hays Ger. Am. Ad-

THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD ATTEND TO IT,
The Wa-Keeney WORLD advocates the
establishment by the state OF two exper-
imental nurseries for the propagation OF
timber trees TO be given free to all citizens
OF Kansas who will obligate themselves to
transplant and properly cultivate them.
This, in our opinion, is measure to
which our legislature might prohtably
turn its attention, measure which would
result in direct benefit to the whole state.
We venture te say that little time spent
by our legislators in this way would re-
suit in much more good than the hours

ling, making faces and calling names"

THE WORLDS ADVICE TO BE PREFERRED.
There is strong current at Washing
ton in favor Of repeating all eur pre- emp
ton aud timber laws leaving only the
homestead act in force. There are good
reasons NE may presume, for this move
ment, bet there are two sides to it. There
ought not to be an utter abandonment of
the doctrine underlying the timber cul-
ture act. Nothing is needed on the plains
more than trees, and il the government
will undertake the work of supplying
homesteaders with trees, they ought to
raise them themselves. Beside from all
climate questions, trees would prove to be
a source Of very great protection to the
people and their crops and herds. If the
government would establish forest plan
tations in convenient localities so as to
test varieties and furnish trees free of
cost on condition only that they be planted
and cared for, that perhaps would be the
best and most certain way Of getting the
country set to trees. A quarter section
of land is enough to give away to any one
settler, and If that were done outright
without any its or ands except settlement
and civilization, not one settler in thous-
and but would be glad to get trees and
take care Of them.1 Topeka CAPITAL.
The public domain is being taken up
with an unpreceded rapidity and congress
undoubtedly will repeal the timber and
pre-emption acts. But it will be well
enough for the government to furnish the
homestead, and why not realize propo-
sition made by the Wa-Keeney WoRLD, to
let the state take charge OF forest tree
nurseries and supply its citizens with
trees; an advise more plausible than that
advocated by the Cafnal.-- oakley Opinion.
