EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
W. J. MciLWAIN, Editors.

There is much just complaint through out the state against the habit now pre- vailing of "druniming" for students. Presidents and professors of institutions from other states, and from institutions in our own state, enter our towns, and by various unprofessional methods try to lead captives into an educational Assyria. They attack the course of study of the home school, paint their own weaker course Gin many instances in brilliant and glaring red, decry the ability of the home teachers, and in various other dark and devious ways make school drumming execrable. High-minded school men should know that there is drumming and school drumming. and that they, of ali others, are pledged to high minded. clean handed work. The methods of the Cheap John have no place in school buildings. Little Rock Southern School Journal.
 This is plain talk on plain question, and we are glad to see onr state paper speak out so plainly against this evil. Everybody knows that this section of country is overrun every year by college men from other states. They are bold and fearless; they start out for students, and they propose to have them if at all ptt>Sibit. iuty PitSit PSll-iHcii lito every school save the one they represent; merciessly tear down the teachers In every community; attack every system of training and school management except their own--and, in short, do anything and everything almost to win students. We bitterly oppose this drumming busi- ness, because we think it detrimental to the best interests of education in our own midst. X school that has to send out agents to drum up students is weak, and proves concIusively that it is unworthy tue patronage it so assiduously tries to se- cure. A school of any repate always en- joys an extensive patronage, and that, too, without ever sending an agent from it's doors. We heartily agree with the Journal, that "high-minded school men of all others, are pledged to high minded, clean-handed work" Let those who wish to send their children to other schools turn a deaf ear to every school drummer, and in making a de- cision choose that institution which en- joys such reputation and standing that its halls are always full-and that, too without any drumming.

The St. Francis Couuty Teachers As ssclation convened at Wheatley on last Saturday. The latter part of the fore noon was spent in asking and answering queries such as, Should pupils be pun shed for poor lessons Can a pupil get perfect lesson !? What to do with pupils who come to school only rainy days without books ? How to ge, patrons in terested in school work How to deal with pupil having little or 20 honor or self esteem. These questions brought forth many good suggestions aud pract- cal thought all of which but clearly shows that our best teachers are cutting loose from the old beaten paths of school work. and are earnestly seeking for the true principles that govern and control all educational development.
 In the afternoon the public school room was filled with large and appreci- ative audience. The programme was a very interesting one. and every speaker responded promptly to the subjects as signed The following themes were well discussed, and many new thoughts suggested:
 Grammar, r,............,..Pro Prof. Davidson, Geography, ...............,.. Miss Stork. iiiSt'l ! iols l'hi iiosi Advanced Reading ....... Miss DeNeler, Mistakes in Teaching. Prof. Meilwain.
 The good people, of WheatIey, very generously prepared a sumptous dinner for all visitors, and to say that this was highly appreciated by all who enjoyed the delicacies spread, is but feehly telling the truth in words. The association unanimously extended . vote of thanks to these good people for their kindness and hospitality.
 The only thing to be regretted is that so few of our teachers were in attendance. Every teacher should be at every meeting of the county association. In many To- calities the teachers are compelled to at tend or else forfeit their license. Love for the work and desire to improve should make every teacher in the county be present at each and every session. 1t is hoped the future meetings will be largely attended, especially by the teachers.
 The next meeting will he held, at For rest City, the last Saturday of March, An interesting programme will be pre- pared, and it is hoped that a very pleas ant and profitable meeting will be had.

AbOut Pronunciation.

The dictionaries are not reason enough
for any ones making himself utterly
singular among his fellows. On the
same principle we in America continue
to say ''skedule" instead of making peo-
pie open their eyes by saying SCHEDULE"
When we are in England WE may say
''tong" instead of ''tung" for tongue"
but the wise American will go with all his
countrymen in such a matter when he is
At home. Veryfew people, either English
or American, ever say ''dyuty," ICON
stityution," and so on, and yet that is
undoubtedly the way we ought to pro-
ounce them-if we are going strictly
by the authorities. 1t is better to be
idiomatic, either in writing or speaking,
than to be just right by the book.-Bos-

A year and eight months ago, when he
was fervently urging the government to
assist in passing the load line bill, it was
shown that the deplorable loss of life at

bill would Immediately check it, while,
when the act was steadily and uniformly
administered, this head of loss would
disappear. He points triumphantly to

The sloths at the Geological gardens
are not quite SO green as they were when
they first arrived. We do not refer tC
their growing recognition of the fact
that nuts and buns are not suitable food
for an arboreal creature which subsists
upon leaves, but to a literal change of
color. 1t is a most remarkable fact that
the sloth has in the wild state green hair,
which causes it to resemble, as it clings
to a branch, an excrescence of that
branch covered with greenish gray Ii
chens. In this way the sloth may perhaps
sometimes escape the keen eye of a ia,

Why Meat Costs More Than Vegetables.
Meat is a manufactured product for
which a large amount of raw material is
required. The manufacture Of meat is
a process of transforming the vegetable
protein, fats and carbohydrates of grass
and grain into the animal protein and
fat of beef, pork and mutton. The same
principle applies in the production Of
milk, eggs and other animal foods. In
the most economical feeding Of animals
it takes a number of pounds of hay or
corn to make a pound of beef or pork.
In other words, let the farmer make ami
NAL protein and fat from vegetable ma
terials in the best way he al and still
he must consume a large quantity Of
soil product to produce a small amount
of animal food. Hence animal foods are
c~Ostlier than vegetable.
This is the simple explanation of the
fact that in most parts of the world
meat is the food Of only the we'll to do,
while the poor live almost entirely on
vegetable food. Thus ordinary people
in Europe eat little meat, and in India
and China they have one at all. 1t is
hard enough for them to get the nutri-
ment they need in vegetable forms.
Meats they cannot afford.-Professor At
water in Century.

Good Fishing in Philadelphia.

extending two squares has been made
below ShurS' lane, Manayunk, and dur

christened Lake Sundstrom, after the

Arrested Under a Queer Dakota Law,

IN " %uCCA aho Ia"
Isaac Milliner, a rancher from the
vicinity of Fort Mead, has been arrested
in Deadwood, S. D., on the charge of
offering beef for sale without exhibiting
the hide, an act prohibited by a law,
passed at the instance of cattlemen, by
the last Legislature, and intended to pre-
vent the sale of stolen cattle. Mr.. Mil
liner states that the beef offered for sale
was his property, and that he has the
hide at his ranch, and will produce it to
prove that he has not committed a Grim
inal act. This is the first arrest made
under the law, and it occasioned consid-
cradle surprise, as the peculiar provisions
of the law were nOt generally known.
There is no doubt of Milliner'sinnOcence,
but the arrest will serve to spread a
knowledge Of the strange law. Milliner
was released under 800 bonds.-Cor.

Intelligent Missionary Effort.

The Rev. DR.. Storrs, the president of
the American board of commissioners for
foreign missions, has good reasons for
felicitating himself On the result Of his
conciliatory policy. The boards receipts
for this year have been $500, 921, against
$465,372 the previous twelve months.
To manage successfully a board which
has such interests under its charge as
this one, something more is needed
than a determination to crush out all in
telligent dissent, and keep the vast ma
chine in operation along lines not at all
adapted to increase the support Of foreign
missions, v among those inclined in
their favor. The Rev. DIR. Storrs, with
his broad outlook, has called a halt to
those elements which were reducing the
annual contributions for that object

Vacation Fxnedtftons

1t Is not a rev thing for students in
vacation to make scientific expeditions
on their W account, combining camp
ing and "roughing it, with congenial
study, but an expedition Of the kind
which was successfully carried cut dur
ing the vacation season of the present
year deserves to be noted as of especial
Importance and significance.
A party consisting of a professor and
several students of Bowdoin college, in
Maine, organized an expedition to Lab
rador to study the vegetable and animal
growths, and otherwise to gain a scien-
tlfc knowledge of the country.
1t was also planned, incidentally, to
ascend the Grand river to the great cata-
ract. The Grand river flows from the
high plateau of northern Labrador, and
the falls by which it reaches the lower
level to flow into the Atlantic ocean are
among the grandest on the continent.
The Bowdoin college expedition was
htted out at the expense of alumni and
friends Of the college.
The Grand river was ascended. the
great cataract viewed and photographed
and its height ascertained. The students
who succeeded in pushing as far up as
the falls suffered many privations, but
won deserved honor in the successful
prosecution of their enterprise.
Their achievement is a good example
for other American colleges and students.
Much important information remains to
be gathered about the less known por-
tons of our continent, and geological,
botanical and geological researches, faith,
fully carried on, may always be made
scientifically profitable and valuable.
even upon ground which has been GOV,
cred before.-Youth's Companion.
