How Education Thrives Among the

How Education Thrives Among the
Inhabitants of Western Arkansas.
New YORK, Jan. 19.-While travelling
on horseback through western Arkansas to-
ward the Indian territory, came upon
q log schoolhouse in clearing in the woods.
1t was recess, and scattered over the play
ground around the primitive temple OF
learning were about twenty children, boys
and girls, shock headed, dlrty-faced and
clad in the toughest homespun garb. AS
drew near they ceased their sports, and
every eye was fastened on me in wonder
ment.
Dismounting, I secured my horse to a
sapling ard entered the schoolhouSe. A
tall, gaunt looking girl seated at rough
table at the further end of the room arose
with surprised look in her face and well
coined me with a country courtesy-aquick
duck downward of the body, a sort Of
spasmodic squat followed by an upward
shoot into her natural standing posture.
Yer welcome, stranger" she said extend
ing her hand The friends o larnin' ar
alters welcome TO this temple whar' larnin'
resides AS soon as that shadder pointing
to the edge Of sharply defined shadow Of
the window casing on the floor gifts to the
edge o. that kuothole it'll be time to call
school, an the young 'uns II come in"
"What branches do you teach!n

Rising to depart | thanked the young
laoy for the pleasure she had afforded me,
and expressed the hope that the seeds Of
education sown by her might bear golden
ITult Accompanying me TO the door she
stepped outsi lie and said
say, l didn't want the young 'uns to
hear this. As you ride down into the bot
tom about mile cad you'll come to a
log house on the right hand side o the road.
y! b,H Eliery lives thar an he's the head
school trustee. | wish you'd stop an sorter
hint that I'm as good teacher as you ever
seed, an that Pm educationigin' these young
'unS right up 10 the handle. You'll see a
big Waller dog thar, an you jist praise it
up as the purtiest dog you ever seed, and
say You'll bet he's cooner from coon hol-
Ter. Ihatll ketch ol Bill an he'll blieve
all you say, fur he's prouder o. that coon
dog than woman is o her fust young 'un.
You see, Sal Stryker is a tryin' to git the

"a b c's, readin' and writin'. Them's all

an figger jest enough to know how mucn
50 many bushels o corn or taUers comes to
at so much a bushel that's enough edicatioa
fur these parts"
The shadow had crept up to the edge of
the knothole, and picking up an old COW
bell the schoolma'am ra tied 1t vigorously.
In troOped the youngsters, painting from
the violent exercise of play, each one sling
ing hat or bonnet in one promiscuou pile
in a corner as they entered. Taking their
seats on the rough puncheon benches they
again made me a target for their wonder
ing eyes. The vigorous scratching kept up
on all sides suggested the thought their
uthful heads were not teeming with
learning alone.
Rapping on her table with a rod bearing
marks of frequent use, the teacher said:
Young 'uns, thar's a stranger var, an
| want you all to see how good you kin be
If see any cuttin' up I'll send some o you
home with sore backs. Clay Marmaduke,
stop that snuffia' an go out an blow you

| heard the infant class worry through
its c's, listened to some wild attempts at
two-syllable spelling and then the teacher
said:

PRESS COMMENTS.

1t now seems to be accepted as
surely as it can be until an authOri-
tative announcement comes from In
dianapolis that Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. AL
lison and Mr.. Wanamaker are to
cabinet. The propriety of Mr..
Blaine's appointment as secretary of
state has been SO often pointed out
that it need not be now repeated, and
both Senator Allison and Mr. Wanna
maker are, like Mr.. Blaine, distin-
guished republicans who are thor
oughly equipped for cabinet posi-
tons Boston Journal, Republican,
The possibility that James G.
Blaine will determine the foreign
policy of the country at this juncture
must be viewed with concern. The
strength Of the man as a political
leader proved to be his weakness in
diplomacy. AtnO time since the war
has there been greater need in the
state department of cool head,
correct Judgment and a wide knowl-
edge of international law than at
present. Americans would
look with natural distrust upon an
aggressive foreign policy, even under
the most favorable circumstances
doubly so with Blaine in the state
department, even with Harrison at
the helm, and Senator Allison adver-
tised as the chief figure in the cabinet.
The beginning which Gen. Harrison
seems to have made is not so reas-
surfing as it ought to have been; but
the power and responsibility are his,
and the people Will wait for develop
ments and hope for the best results
