QUIT YE LIKE MEN--BE STRONG.

Father, grant that may be
Strong both to myself and Thee;
Strong of purpose, strong Of will;
Strong to suffer and be still;
Strong to bear, whate'er befall;
Strong to trust, whate'er appall;
Strong to cheer, when others moan;
Strong to say, THY will be done;'
Strong to hope, when days are dark;
Strong each thing of cheer to mark;
Strong to smile through every pain;
Strong each benefit to gain;
Strong to suffer, strong t. enjoy;
Strong all evil to destroy;
Strong to run the earthly race;
Strong to reach Thy dwelling place.

PROFESSOR c. M. WOODWARD, director Of the
Manual Training School, st. Louis, rade very
interesting and able report to the Department of
Industrial Education at st. Paul. The paper was
freely discussed and the committee to whom the
report was made offered some suggestions which
called forth adverse opinions as we'll as favorable
criticism. Some Of the abest educators agreed
that manual training should not be taught in the
lower grades, while others believed that its intro
duction into the schools induced boys to remain for
greater length Of time in the free schools than
they otherwise would do.
In view of the fact that the lovely United States
arsenal grounds are not disposed of yet, would it
not be we'll for every Arkansan to use his influence
and secure, if possible, as munifcent gift from
Uncle Sam this valuable piece Of property, to be
used as an Industrial and Reform School for the
youth of the State. Remember that it is ignor-
ance that costs, education that pays.
THE newspaper is power in this country, in
the world, everywhere, because it springs from
the active brain work of the living wde-awake
thinkers Of the age in which we live. Day by day
and hour by hour it demands the best effort and
the ripest culture the intellectual market affords.
And it gets it, Look at your Tribunes, Worlds,
Evening Posts, Harpers' Weekhes, etc., and say
is not this true? The daily press of to-day is a
wonder when compared with the antiquated past.
What triumph in journalism There is nothing
equals it, 1t multiplies intelligence with surpris-
ing magnitude, thrift and rapdty; and it scatters
the varied geanings of its unresting hands, broad
cast over land and nation. Who can measure its
power or comprehend its vast influence? Not one.

But suppose it should fall into bad hands? Sup
pose it should lend its columns to the oppressors
of mankind instead of its friends? Suppose in
stead of trying to lead the minds of our youth in
the straight road, it should fill its columns with
descriptions of all that is vile and evil, which
abounds in our cities, dressed up in such manner
as to charm the Imagination of inexperienced
youth; making even the gallows an exit from this
world only to give passport to heaven in the

this world, it may be perverted to evil. Like the
