rAmerican Agriculturist.1
The Country School and the Far
mer's Boy.
PROF. CHAS. E. BEsSEY, NEB.

The country school is pre-eminent-
ly the farmers school. In it the great
majority Of the farmers Of to-day re-
ceived their education, and in it the
great majority Of those of the next
generation will receive their school
ing.
Is the country school doing what it
should for the farmers boy? Is it
giving to the boy who will remain on
the farm that kind of an education
which will be the best preparation for
life's work? Let me say at the out
set that have nothing to say in this
paper about college education, or even
high-school education. | am speak
ing Of the common school only,
and particularly of the common
school in the country districts, the
school which is above others the far
mer's school,
What is an education for? Why
should a boy spend so much time in
the school-room? The purpose of a
boys education is to fit him for his
work, whatever that may be. | hold
that an education, so-called, which
does not fit boy for his work in life
is not an education at all The edu-
cation given in country school ought
then to fit the boy to be successful
farmer, for that is to be the profession
of most country school-boys.
= What education does the farmers
profession demand? The ability to
read, write, and understand the En-
glish language and to make readily all
the ordinary numerical calculations
connected with his business-this is
all, some say, that farmer needs, and
this is practically all that the schools
supply. But is this enough? Shall
we set the standard of education for
the farmer at the very lowest notch?
Shall we in this way say that the
poorest education is sufficient for the
farmer? For one, [ do not think
that farming is the occupation for
which the poorest education is suffi-
cient. 1t is the growing opinion of
prominent educators and the more in
telligent farmers, that farming is one
of the occupations demanding the best
of education. In no profession or
calling is man brought into contact
with more things which bear upon
his success or failure than in farming.
mechanic deals with but one set of
problems, connected usually with but
one or two kinds of materials. The
carpenter fits wood into place and

bricks, stone, mortar, or cement; he
does not deal with iron, brass, lead, or
zinc. The mason deals with stone |

Constitutional Catarrh.

No single disease has entaied more suffering or
hastened the breaking of the constitution than Ca
tarrh The of SMELL of taste, of sight, of hear
ing, the human voice, the mind,-one more, and
sometimes ALL yield to its destructive influence. The
poison it distributes throughout the system attacks
every vital force and breaks the most robust of
constitutions Ignored because but little understood
by most physicians, impotently assafled by quacks
and charlatans those suffering from 1t have little
hope be relieved of it this side of the grave 1t is
time, then that the popular treatment of this terri
BILE disease by remedies within the reach of all passed
into hands at once competent and trustworthy. The
and hithel to untried method adopted BY Dr. San
ford in the preparation of his RADICAL CURE has
won the hearty approval Of thousands It is instan-
snufing and obstructed breathing, and rapidly re-
moves the most oppressive symptoms, clearing the
head sweetening the BREATH restoring the senses of
SMELL taste and hearing and neutralizing the const

FROM UTAH.
BEAVER. UTAH, June 6, 1888.

BEAVER, UTAH, June D, 1905.
% the Editor of the Standard:
Your readers know what persistent
,fforts the Mormons have been max
ng to procure Statehood for Utah,
hat they assembled a lot OF their
priests in a pseudo-Constitutional
Convention in Salt Lake last summer,
and declared that polygamy is thing
# the past, and that they are ready to
swear fealty to the Constitution of
the United States; that they sent a
large delegation to Washington to
present the matter to influential ones
who are in Congress, etc, etc; but
your readers do not know the in
side of the matter as we who are here
do. We>know that every move has
been fraudulent one-that polyga-
my has nagef been discarded by their
church-and that is what rules the
multitudes of Utah to-day, as it has
since 1S47-but, contrariwise, that
this same ecclesiastical hierarchy hires
and retains at a yearly salary, host
of able lawyers to defend the polyga-
mists as they are caught like highway
robbers-bandits even.
But I don't desire nor intend to
make long letter of this, but will
give you few pointers and let you
think for yourselves. Utah has al
ways maintained that the Union is
their enemy. The Union is sister,
hood of States-hence these States
are Utah's enemy, according to Utah s
statement. Utah desires to become
one of that sisterhood, therefore she
desires to become one among and OF
her enemies. What for? Because
she loues them? No; but that she
may gain power and cherish her pei
sin, polygamy. The chief organs o1
the church, the Salt Lake Herald and
the Deseret News, are lying on theil
viper-like ''stomachs" begging Con
gress to admit them, yet meanwhile
eursing each and every member of thu
North-they harmonic with the Sol
id Southland matchmaking every
loyal American in their midst.
Here is an incident or so: June
was Brigham Young's birthday; Ma.
80 was Decoration Day. The $50
called) Public Schools kept their ses
sions all day May 30, while loya
hearts dismissed labor and pleasur
to weep oyer the fallen brave of botl
North and South-but when old Brig
hams birthday came-lo! and behold
the schools are all closed and tn
children given a holiday.
Brigham's favorite saying was, ''W
are free and independent of the d
l u. S. Government. and all HI can
make us obey their Internal laws.
That is the sentiment of the peopl
to-day.
The (so-called) Public School is nc
public, because it is not free. Tuitio
rates are high-from 75c. to $500 pc
quarter. They are not allowed t
teach Mormonism in them, althoug
it was done until 1885.
/ The Church Schools are in some lo
calities free-as is the case in Beaver
In these their theology is taught an
required. Does that to a thinkin
man or woman look like accordanc
with Americanism?

Prohibitionists are not making
much noise in the world. They are
lonesome. In the past year or two
their trade has been passing from
them. The enactment OF wise laws,
keeping full pace with temperance
sentiment, seems to meet the approval
of the people and the Prohibs are sad
Formerly they were willing that suf-
fcient alcoholic beverages should be
manufactured and sold to meet all
medicinal, mechanical and sacrament
tai uses, but this year their rancid
self-rightousness and fanaticism has
reached that point that they are not
willing to make exceptions for the pur-
poses above named. In our opinion
this is not good year for the Prohibi-
tionists.

state of things by nominating Treasurer
Burleigh?
II will be urged that no immediate harm
will come to the State. That is granted Ii
was granted when the late Nathan Dane
was treasurer that no immediate
harm could come to the State by al
lowing him the same amount of
discretion in the conduct of the treasury
that had been permitted previous treasurers.
Nevertheless that was the time that Gov.
Washburn took to recommend to the
Legislature legislation for the more secure
guarding of the treasury. SAT time," said
Gov. Washburn, when the affairs of the
Office are administered by gentleman of
distinguished ability and unquestionable in
tegrlty, the best opportunity will be found
Qor everybody will understand that no refec-
ton upon him can be implied for the INTRO
duction of such reform in the manner of
transacting its business, and in the rules for
conducting its operations, as will serve to
protect the State from losses hereafter.
This is good doctrine. Apply it to the pres
ent case. Nobody will construe it as any re-
Election upon his distinguished ability and
unquestionable integrity if the Republic
cans of Maine, on the ground that no State
treasurer ought to become candidate for
governor during his term of Office on account
of the awkward complications which may re-
suit, declare against the nomination of the
Hon. E. C. Burleigh. 1t will be regarded
simply as determination on their part not
to permit precedent to be established that
may have about it an appearance OF impro-
priety, no matter how slight.

A Needless Complication.

By section II, chapter 8, of the Revised
Statutes, treasurers and collectors of towns
are forbidden to become selectmen or asses
sors, until they have completed their duties
as treasurers, and had a final settlement
with the town. The reason of this enact
ment is clear. 1t is to prevent town treas
urers becoming the auditors Of their own ac-
counts and settling with themselves as they
might if they were permitted to become Sc
lectmen before their accounts were finally
disposed of. This is wise enactment. 1t
applies to every public treasurer in the State
but one, and that the most important of all,
the treasurer of the State. Why was not
similar enactment made to cover the case of
State treasurer "Norombega," in his
communication In yesterdays PRESS. I'M
doubleday gives the true answer.
1t was because nobody ever supposed. sim
liar contingency would ever arise In the case
of State treasurer. Certainly had such an
embarrassing predicament as is likely to
come If State Treasurer Burleigh becomes
Gov. Burleigh next January been foreseeD it
would have been provided for. The case
OF State treasurer becoming governor
before final settlement with the State is
closely analogous to the case of town
treasurer becoming selectman before a
final settlement with the town. Ii the latter
is improper 1t would seem that the former
must be, for the one may be productive of
quite as awkward and embarrassing a con-
dition of things as the other. 1t would
be awkward for Mr.. Smith, who was
town collector on the 31st day of December,
to proceed to audit his own account in the
capacity Of selectman on the first day of
January, but not much more awkward than
II will be for State Treasurer Burleigh to lay
before Goverror-elect Burleigh on the first
Wednesday Of next January all the warrants
drawn in favor of the State; not much more
awkward than it will be for Gov. Burleigh
on the first Monday of the session of the next
legislature to transmit to that body the re-
port of the committee appointed by the
governor and council to investigate State
Treasurer Burleigh's account. But this is
not the end of the awkwardness. A new
State treasurer cannot be elected until the
accounts of the old treasurer are examined
by the legislature. This may require some
weeks. Meanwhile what is Mr.. Bufleigh to
do. If he refuses to be inaugurated until
new treasurer is chosen he puts the State
in the predicament Of being without an ex-
ecutive head for considerable time, for
Gov. Marbles term will have expired
on the first Wednesday of January
by constitutional limitation. If he re-
signs the treasurership before his accounts
are examined and his successor chosen then
he puts the treasury under control of subor-
dinates who are not under bonds or at least
L.
the dilemma is uncomfortable and there is
not much to choose between them. Will it
be wise to bring about this embarrassing

Several hundred citizens petitioned the
Board Of Aldermen to reconsider their action
in the matter of police matron. Several
members of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union appeared before the Beard and
gave some very good reasons why the peti-
tion should be granted. A number of well
known gentlemen whose opinions are en-
titled to respect supplemented the appeals of
the ladies. Nobody opposed the petition.
The Board Of Aldermen listened and that
was the end of it. They did not reconsider
their action, they gave no reason for refus-
ing to, they gave no reason for their action
in the first place. The result has been to
force upon the public the conclusion that
either the Board did what they did without
reasons, or that the reasons were of char
acter that that they do not care to make
public.

In fact, 1t is part and very important
part of the system of public education. The
high school library and the mercantile libra
ry have been merged in the greater collection
which the city has heretofore encouraged and

encouragement now, and it is especially un-

when generous citizen has just rendered
