After Wheat. What2
WASHINGTON, May 20, Iss


Prof. Willets. the assistant secretary
of agriculture, has under cOnsidera-
ton letter from Ireland which he
thinks may offer a solution of the Geo.
nomic problem: What shall take the
place of wheat on farms where it can
no longer be raised at a profit! The
writer. who has been familiar with
flax growing and linen manufacturing
since 1910, says:
There are only two establishments
weaving, one at Webster, Mass, and
the other at Appleton, Wis, the latter
doing but little and neither weaving
anything finer than crash. There is
nothing in the climate or soil conflict
ing with the assertion that just as
good flax may be produced in every
state in the American union as in any
other country. There is every reason
why American farmers should produce
million acres of flax for both seed
and fiber over and above what is now
produced, which would give 100000

SOC, 600 tons of flax fiber would be OBJ
tanned, worth 800, 100000. Once es-

The Meeting at Hager City.

Report of Association held at Hager
City, May II, 1889.
The meeting was called to order by the
president at HOO A. NJ. followed by a
mental arithmetic exercise which showed
the need of more practice in that much
neglected branch. After a short discus
sion the association adjourned until l2:45
AN.
The meeting was duly called to order
at the time set for afternoon session and
Supt. Brewer presented the subject Pro
gram and Course of Study" He dwelt at
some length upon it, calling upon the
| teachers present to name the difficulties
which they encountered in striving to
place the course" in operation in their
respective schools. A large number of
questions were asked and discussed and
many good points brought out.
Miss Cora Barnard not being present
her topic, Primary Reading, was taken
up by members of the association and
discussed. Some good ideas were ad-
vanced.
Next followed "Busy Work in Primary
Form by 5. T. Irvine. He makes use
of copy work, splints, pictures and card
work, -"home made apparatus, ito
keep the little folks busy. A general dis
cussion followed in which the other
teachers told what they did in this line.
The time being limited Primary
Geography" by Geo. Appleman was left
out and in the lieu of Question Box
which should have followed the teachers
were given the privilege to ask any ques-
ton bearing upon school work to be an
swered by general discussion.
Quite a number of questions were thus
disposed of after which the meeting adj
Ijourned.
Although the association was small in
numbers the discussions were animated
and interesting, and each one present de-
rived much benefit therefrom. Among
those present from distance were: g. L.
Bowman, Supt. Brewer, Miss Florence
Swim, Miss Nelly Burke, Miss Jenny
Perry, and Geo. Appleman.
Again we are called upon to chronicle
the fact that some of the local teachers
failed to put in an appearance. What is
the matter? Are we all dead? Is it pos
sible that we cannot resurect ourselves
from the habit into which some of us are
falling?-staying away from associations.
Once more let me urge upon you the
necessity of attending teachers meetings.
Why will you remain away when SO
much is gained by attending? Arouse
yourself from the apathetic state of exist
ence into which you are surely settling
and attend our meetings, take al active
part, and help make them a success.
Surely you will do this if you think any
thing at all of teaching as a profession.
We still repeat attend associations.

mo saloon keeper has right TO run

nearly all the st. Louis saloons are

them. Neither the state or city get
the revenue which. under the Downing
law, should be promptly paid before
sales of liquor are made. A new
saloon may be opened and run for

Improbable may quit, without having
