Some momentous news comes from Chris
tania, Norvay's capital In the present ten
sion Of European Affairs the Norwegian demand
for complete autonomy has been overlooked,
but that demand many turn out to be no small
part OF the situation there, as il affects inme-
diately the northern nations For some time
past the Norvegians have insisted upon and
have eventually obtained the surrender Of such
parts OF the kings prerogativs as relate to
Norway. The leader Of the independence party
In Norway Is Steen, who is odious TO King Oscar,
not only by reason Of this fact, but also because
In his leadership Steen Is harsh and abrupt Of
manner, with slight respect for kings or their
prerosativesL Those who have kept up even in
. cursory way with the history Of the new
national literature which has arisen in Norway
Gnce 1914 are aware that there has been . very
steady advance or rather reversion TO republi-
canizm in that country, due to the liberal ideas
Of the poets and dramatists. One Of the treest
and most intelligent populations in Europe
the inferior Of none in genuine pride and enter
prise-the Norwegians have chafed over even
the small control exercised by Sweden They
have . separate legislature, local administra-
ton, war and navy establishments, school sys-
tenn and other governing apparatus, but they
claim the final exercise Of sovereignty included
in the proposing and making treaties with
other nations. The declaration Of q republic
may occur very soon and form part of the
movement by which certain northern nations
ally themselves with certain southern ones to
'.rsetify" frontiers and make square the &C
counts Of long ago. This movement is the
more significant because it is q symptom Of a
general demand for an extension of rights and
privileges which comes up from Great Britain's
dependencies, the people Of Belgium, the peo-
pie Of Denmark, Spain, Portugal and Italy, not
to speak of such countries as Austria and Rus
STA In the phrase Of the old party press In the
United States, ''the signs Of the times are por-
tertous."

claim for service for which they were

Editor Educational Column,
Phillipsburg, Kansas
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
In your Issue of May %, 1891, you
state that ''the examination of stud
ents for county certificates is the first
effort IN this line of work in the coun-
ty." Please allow my to say, that
''the work." of which you speak, was
begun by the Phillips County Teach
ers Association" in the fall of 1888.
A line of work laid out, Guide and
MANUAL chosen, and the preliminary
work all done. During the year 1889,
a sufficient number of the "Guide and
MANUAL were procured and distrlbu-
ted among the districts of this coun-
ty; and now in due time the examin-
atoms follow. In an issue of "The
Column" some weeks ago, you say
that ''this county is far behind Nor
ton county IN educational work" A
careful examination of the State
Superintendent's report, seems to
quite disproVe that statement. Phil
lips being ahead in nearly everything.
Hoping that the cause of education
may continue to improve, I remain,
yours very truly, j. II. You've.
In reply to the first part of friend
j. II. Young's letter. we wish to say
that he misjudged us in the meaning
we wished to convey when we wrote
the local in regard to the county ex-
aminations. We were present at the
meeting he speaks of, and seconded
the motion that passed the resolution,
that led to the purchase of the man
uals and classification records. We
have never wished to detract from
the work of any one, aud we have al
ways in every way expressed our
highest regard for the advancement
education has received during the
last two years proceeding this official
term. AS to the statement in regard
to Norton and Phillips counties, we
only said what every teacher, who
knows the educational interest of the
two counties, has said. We do not
believe that it is any insinuation nor
any disparagement to express truth
when it may exist.
