Improrement In our schooIs.

The schools should be an aid to the i'm
provement of mans estate. In no way
has so much been accomplished in this
direction as by new inventions, by me-
chanics or artisans. The improvement of
our material surroundings places human
ity on a higher plane, and enables those
who care for it to obtain the education in
classics, etc, which they may desire
The tendency In the public schools should
be to educate youths so that man may
be better able to deal with his material
surroundings.
That can be done in connection with
the mere book education now given. But
it is not done. A small departure in that
direction has been made in the normal
training. This needs to be carried fur
ther. The expensive higher branches
should be Topped off and more aid given to
those who need it. The old methods
must give way to modern ideas. Improve
ment In the school system is badly needed.

for which congress has already made a

JOAQUIN Miller on '"The North American

fertile. These ruins Of Arizona are
older than history-as old as the oldest
ruins on the Nile of Egypt. The region
then was dsnsely populated. No allure

soil and the genial climate built up cities
here that rivaled in extent those of Egypt.
II then these primitive people made a

on locating a desert, can we not do some
thing with our improved methodist Very
clearly this region was once the garden OF
America, and It is reclaimable. Miller
SAYS he never ate finer bananas than those
