DICKINSON

The brain is Il negative! What
scholar receives the most benefit from
their school education! 1t is the one
who learns thoroughly that which he
studies and learns how to investigate
for himself. The bright, boy who can
study his lesson in ten minutes before
recitation and recite it perfectly. is
not the one who retains it. The
picture is lightly drawn on his brain,
and If exposed to other influences
vanishes liks the impression on a
negative. Examination day APP
proaches;. he hurriealy reviews the
work of the past month and passes a
fair examination; but ask him a week
after and he has forgotten. He has
no fund of knowledge to rely upon;
he has not retained an idea; his mega
tive was never finished.
In comparison with him is the boy
who learns slowly, the mediocre.
When he confines his mind to the
work at hand he continues until the
impression is perfect. What he learns
he knows, and can recall for use in
gaining other ideass he reasons from
the known to the unknown; his mega
tives are finished.
Studious in obtaining, comprehen-
siye in imagination, %judicious in de-
%cision, and persistent in the procur-
ing of ideas will produce the scholarly
brain.
The school board has procured some
excellent supplementary readers for
the use of the second and third grades.
These books will be kept as a part of
a district library for future use of
classes finishing these grades.
This has been examination week in
some of the departments.
CChe Reading Circle, at its next meet
ing, discusses Swift's life and works
and their effects on civilization.
Johann Sebastian Bach, the composer,
will then be taken up.
This question frequently arises, Is
drawing essential in the common
school course? My answer to this in
quiry would be--yes, to a certain ex-
tent, and could time be provided, no
doubt it might prove Il great accom-
plishment in the end. But, when
there are many more things which are
really necessary for lis to learn, why
then detract any more time from
them than possible and undertake a
course of drawing only, which will be
required in connection with the other
studies taken up.
We must have some conception of
drawing, however, as to how best we
can sketch various objects, and even
in order to learn the principles of
writing we must first learn to draw
straight, curved and slanting lines.
Moreover, to become an artist, talent
must underlie all forms and rules.
The Dickinson press., 1892-03-26
AMMONIA.
Physicians Opposed to lis Use.

The Sanitary Era, of New York, in
its November number, has the an
swer of numer Gus physicians all owe
the country to its question: "Do you
consider advisable the habitual use of
food in any degree qualified by am.
m%onia!" Over Il thousand replies
have already been received, and the
Era says they are still coming in and
that they are unanimously in the neg
ative-many of them stating the par
ticular harm to the kidneys, stomach,
nervous system, ETC., accustomed by
the drug.
The indianapolis "Independent"
says editorially, that these opinions
are entitled to especial consideration
because they were published in the
Era, being obtained by the editor, w.
G. Conant, solely in the interest of
the public, and further states that IL
corporation is powerful enough to buy
an utterance in its columns, or pre-
vent one when in the opinion of tits
editor one should he made"
The question is n of great I'M.
portance in view of the many baking
powders containing either ammonia
or alum, or both, and the Era does
not hesitate to place what it terms
| the principal offenders on the 'sfrOnt
seat" SO that they may be better
viewed by the public and avoided in
the future. Those thus pilloried are:
Royal, Calumet, Davis 0. X, Attain
tic and Pacific, Kenton, Patapsco,
Silver Star, Dry Yeast, Bon Bon.
Zipp's Grape Crystal.
Then follows a list of about 2G0.
other less important brands which
are all tainted with either ammonia
or alum.

EarneStueSS,

The following extract from one of the
best stories ever written contains a
valuable suggestion for everybody, and
especially is it golden advice to every
Avertiser. Be earnest. Have faith in
your work. Attend to it. Be honest:
1haye been very fortunate in worldly
matters; many men have worked much
harder and not succeeded half so well,
but I never could have done what Ihave
done without the habits of punctuality,
prder and diligence, without the deter
mination to concentrate myself on m
object at a time, no matter how quickly
It's successor should come upon its heels,
which I then formed. Whatever I have
tried to do in life ! have tried with all
my heart to do well; whatever I have
devoted myself to / have devoted myself
TO completely. In great aims and in
mail I have always been thoroughly in
-> mhsGtute for thor
earnest. There ls ~ -
oughgoing, ardent and sincere earnest
ness. Never to put one hand to anything
on which l could throw my whole self,
and never to affect depreciation Of my
work, whatever it was, I find now to
have been my golden rules. David Cop

would be without his power to do
such a piece of spite work if he
had the inclination, and the PRESS
don't believe Mr.. Harmon is so
void of good sense as to attempt
such a rash thing. But as to the
matter of MI. Harmon's having
the promise of a solid Stark coun-

ton. This is the question, and
the PRESS wants to see the proof.

GRAND FORKS, March 24.-The

A. L. CAREY seems to have a
clear field for denomination to his
present position as commissioner
of insurance. Mr.. Carey is one of
the best officials this state ever
had, and the News would like to
see him DECENTRALIZATION Co.
News.
Mr.. Carey has certainly made a
grand officer. And his efforts to
keep the newspapers of the state
from cutting legal rates on the
publication of insurance state
ments are worthy of praise. Give
MI. Carey a denomination if he
will accept it.

Timclineas and Style in Advertising.
The trito comment upon success of
any sort that ''there is everything in
knowing how" is particularly applicable
to the business of advertising. Mer-
chants generally advertise their business,
but not many of them regard advertis-
ing as a part of their business; that is,
they do not put business methods and
business brightness into their advertis-
ing. Judicious advertising pays every
time, and he who knows how to adver-
tise j%udiciously is a better equipped bust
ness man than is his merchant neighbor
who does not know when and how to
advertise.
A striking advertisement will run the
gamut of popular attention and get into
the air like a popular song. Advertise
ments have become as familiar as house
hold words, and remained advertise
ments long after they had disappeared
from newspaper columns and from ad-
vertising bilboards. Who will ever
forget the mystic IS. T. 1860 KIP It can
no longer be seen in print, nor upon bill
boards, but the name of the compound
it advertised comes to mind with the
legend, and the advertisement is as
bright as it was twenty-five years ago.
"You press the button; we do the
rest!" It is hardly necessary to state
what these words advertise. They have
been so widely read and are so taking
and SO suggestive of ability that every
body knows what they refer to. Toshow
to what extent an advertisement with
brightness in it gets into the public
mind, the fact may DO cited in relation
to the advertisement under comment
that no less a parsonage than Chauncey
NJ. Depew, in a speech before the mer-
chants of New York at their annual din
ner, closed an interesting statement Of
the advantages of reciprocity with the
remark, "As merchants, as bankers and
business men, we say to congress in the
language which advertises that most
universal and productive of our institu-
tions, the Kodak, You press the button;
we will do the rest"
If merchants and manufacturers want
to win advertising Of this happy kind, all
they have to do is to advertise in the
right way and put happy thoughts into
their Observation-Disclosures Wis
