We believe In what may be called
= rotation Of studies. BY beginning
the study Of history, physiology, and
perhaps some Of the natural scienc-
20 early in the course with easy
lessons, the child will gain a certain
amount Of knowledge Of the branches
which, though too simple almost to
present later, will create a thirst for
that kind Of knowledge and give
data for moro substantial study later
in the course. After giving a year
or two - may be required early in
the course the study may be drop
ped for sometime, and the pupil will
again take it up with renewed in
terest when the mind is more ma
ture and moro able to grasp the
more difficult minutia Of the study.
Az soon ~ pupils have sufficient
knowledge Of arithmetic and gram
mar to enable them TO proceed sue.
cessfnlly with the study Of higher
mathematics and a foreign lam
guage, W believe it is better to give
them Z little rest from the m
branches, II they are to study these
higher branches at all, instead of
trying 10 maze finished grammar
ians and arithmeticians ct this per-
iod. We know from experience
that after studying the higher
branches the pupil will be able to
grasp ideas in grammar and arith-
metic which were beyond the scope
Of his mental horizen before. The
mathematics and languages have q
great tendency TO clear the mind, as
both studies require . great amount
Of continuity and hard thinking.
Then, besides, the pupil will 60 back
70 the study leit some Time ago with
renewed interest. We can secure
this rotation IN arithmetic and gram.
mar By giving 4 thorough review
and some advanced work 10 classes
about to graduate, and no pupil
should b allowed 70 graduate from
our high schools, who has not stud
led the common branches for three
Or four years. In nine cases out Of

time but give it all to the interest of our business,
and what will be our business will be to your in

we have familiarized ourselves as to latest styles,
patterns and colors now in use. Our store was
never SO crowded before with both goods and Gus
toners, and we invite every one to call and look
them over, whether you buy or not. We bought
this stock with one particular aim-that there
should be none better. and an absolute certainty
that no better prices shall be offered you any
where, because we can sell and do sell these goods
as close as it is possible that they should be sold.
You will get full value for every dollar you in

dition to the quality Of the goods certainly makes
the Palace Store a profitable place for you to trade.

Agood argument for natural train
ing is the fact that an exclusively
book educational system causes ed
ucated youths to think that natu-
raj labor is degrading. If skill in
the use OF the hands in useful labor
were taught in our schools, it would
come TO be considered a part Of a
good education to be a good work

Governor Colcofd has acceded to
the public demand and issued call
For an Irrigation Convention to con-

One of the favored small folk of this op-
ulent city was the recipient not long ago of
luncheon which must have been de-
light to her and the other wee ones who
graced the feast, The guest of honor was
"A lovely four year-old with golden hair and
big brown eyes, and the dozen little ones
asked to meet her counted their years, the
eldest of them, not more thaa twice as
many. For this company of Cender age
the table showed bank of variegated hya.
cinths through its center. Wax lights
with shades to match the parti-colored
flowers added TO the brilliancy so pleasing
to the childish eyes,
At every plate stood miniature pot
swathed in u Chinese napkin in which was
growing a small hyacinth, and by its side
lovely doll, whose gown exactly matched
the hue of its companion flower. This
kaleidoscope of color and gifts brought al.
miring "Ohs" from every separate small
girl as she took her seat.
The sensible mother who provided the
luncheon deserves record for the menu,
which included bouillon, creamed oysters,
broiled chicken, colored jellies ice cream,
small cakes, not rich, and chocolate. The
last course was "A Jack Horner pie-this
one showing, TO match the harlequin
luncheon, a top gay with many colored

resolved itself into plum" Of acceptable

are no such heads as he wants, but if
he will wait one can be procured from
