Our city schools commence work again

will be organized in the High School in
all the common branches and In several
of the higher. Though no provision has
been made for it, the normal course
which worked so successfully should be
continued. The large number calling for
this kind of work proves that it supplies
Sn existing necessity. BY wise use of
the facilities at the command Of our
school board, there is no reason why our
schools should not prepare our young
men and young women for the active du-
ties of life. 1t is certainly to the advan-
tage Of the business men Of Miller to

bers and tone to our schools, as we'll as
help defray the school expenses. A
school we'll attended is always more pros
porous than one poorly attended. In the
former there is life and activity, in the
latter there is sloth. Economy is many
sided and must be considered from its
many sides in order to be judged fairly.
That alone is true economy in school
management which makes the work of the
teacher the most profitable to the patrons,
and that teaching is most profitable to
the patrons which is most conducive to
the mental, normal and physical needs OF
the pupils. Upon these hang all the
questions relating to education in all its
departments.

God made agricultural Dakota as well as
Illinois, OHIO or New York, and history
furnishes no precedent Of an agricultural
country being made in vain. But history
does prove in our imagined adyersity we
are rolling in clover when eurs are COM
pared to the trials and deprivatIons on
the pioneer settlers Of Illinois, Iowa and
all ether states. The pages Of even recent
history are stamped with calico dresses,
corn bread, sorghum, bare feet and all
the other "luxuries" then enjoyed by the
men who by holding ON and Saving

men of the west. No lasting benefit was
ever gained without effort or hardship OF

who believe the world owes them liy-

time. But those who believe the world
owes living to persistent industry can
lay the foundation for certain future
prosperity right here, as well as to chase
the fickle goddess Of fortune to every place

activity.

Northwestern Agriculturalist The good
farmer need not therefore be con fused or
disturbed by the agitation thai is going on
around him. Let him keep his eyes and
ears open, and make his own decisions.
and not allow anybody to use him TO pull
chestnuts out Of the hot ashes unless the
ohestnuts are his own. and he has the
eating of them. One thing is certain, all
the political parties in the country cannot
do 50 much for him in ten years, as he
can do for himself in one by careful, in.
telligent and thorough farming. At the
most, the evil which government can cor
rect involve cents where good or bad farm

no reason why the government. state and
national. should not do ell they can to
correct existing evils that affect the farm
or. but, after all, agriculture must work
out its own salvation. No government on
earth can lift the business out of the rnire,
unless farmers do the best they know
how to do IL is all right to look after
proper men TO office, but it will not do to
trust them TO pay debts or to keep the
family. Those who looS for very much

literature will unconciously use good Ian
guage And using correct forms without
any special effort to determine what is
right, is the ideal at which We should aim.
A studied form Is always unnatural and
tIresome.
In the lower grades, the teacher should
have on hand large supply, short, inter
esting, stories adapted to the capacity Of
the children. These should be read and
discussed by the teacher and pupils, and
then the pupils should be required to re-
produce them in substance in the form Of
a composition. Every composition should
be carefully inspected by the teacher and
as much rs possible Of it placed
uron the board where the whole
class may join the the teacher in
making the necessary corrections. In this
work the following points should be close
lv scrutenized truthfulness. comolete-
ness, accuracy of expression. quality of ex-
preston tgooa ERgiish,l heading, punctu-
alton, paragraphs, capitals, margins and
and general neatness. When errors are
made, it is sufficient, in primary grades,
to have the matter made right without the
enumeration of any rule or principle Of
the language. This may be done by the
teacher or by the pupils-by the pupils II
they can do it if not, by the teacher.
Frequently they may lie asked to write
an original story on a subject given by
the teacher. Bat before it is assigned as
a subject, talk to the pupils about it,
draw their thought out on the subject, and
then the drudgery to them will be re-
moved.
