The Extravaganza of Mud.

From "Our Common Roads," by
Isaac B. Potter, in the April Century:
We have in the United States some
thing like 100000 of horses and
mules above the age of two years up
on our farms, and at the moderate es-
innate of 25 cents as the cost of feed
and care of each of these animals, we
see at glance that the aggregate ex-
pense of maintaining them is about
100000 per day. If by similarly
moderate estimate, we say that they
are kept in the stable in a condition
of enforced idleness by the deep mud
of spring and fall for period of av-
eraging 70 days in each year, we may
easily compute that the loss, in this
respect alone, will amount to $SO,OOO,-
600 per year, sum sufficient to build
1900 miles of excellent highway. Of
course, considering the great variety
of conditions, and the consequent
number of factors to be regarded, it
is impossible by mathematical formu-
la to compute the loss entailed on any
community by the continued tolera.
ton of these dirt roads in their pres
ent condition, but the error in the re-
suit of any computation is more likely
to show loss smaller than actually
exists, and in whatever way the matter
be regarded, it is certain that with the
imposed burden of extra help and ex
ira draft animals, loss of time, weal
and tear of wagons and harness, tn,
drawing of light loads, and the depre
ciated value of farm-lands,we are pur
suing a short-sighted policy in per
hitting the present system to contin
ue. Besides the actual loss, which
moments reflection will serve to show
we are gaining nothing and savin,
|: nothing in that great department O
agricultural industry to which tn
condition of tho dirt road is of sucl
marked Importance.

Teachers Association,

The regular monthly meeting of
teachers was held on Saturday last
with twenty-five teachers present.
Misses Rowe and Hitchcock sang a
duet, entitled 'In the Vale"
The usual lesson in Pages Theory
and Practice, conducted by Miss East
man, and Goody's Lessons in Psychol-
ogy, by John V. Hawk, were full of
the old time interest. Miss Eastman
assigned lesson for tho next meeting
balance of chapter 10 from page 2O9
to 261. Mr.. Hawk assigned lesson in
psychology chapters II, ID and IA.
Both teachers earnestly requested a
careful study of the lessons.
In the absence of Mr., Sherwin, who
was to have read a paper on manner
and method of teaching language, an
informal discussion took place. The
most important points drawn out were
these: The teachers in the lower
grades must be able to speak distinct
ly, correctly and carefully. Children
ought to be able to utter and write
sentences correctly before any attempt
was made upon the study of grammar.
Language, not being an exact science,
but subject to change by different
Causes, we must know the best forms
and present them The speech of the
child must be carefully watched. The
errors eliminated and good forms sub
stituted for poor ones.
The committee on program report,
ed the following for the next meeting:
Manners and Methods Of Teaching
Language, w. X. Sherwin; How to
teach News, Miss Lucy Rowe; Paper

Last Weeks Fire.

Early last Thursday afternoon the
fire bell was rung vigorously, and it
was soon learned that j. p. OHara's
house was on fire. The chemical and
hose wagon were hurried to the scene,
where a number of men were at work
with buckets, despite which the fire
was rapidly gaining on them. 1t took
only few minutes to extinguish the
fire after the hose of the chemical was
turned on. This is the account Mrs.
O'Hara gives of the origin of the fire:
eve were cleaning out the front room
and had not been in the kitchen for
some time, when our neighbor, Mr..
Hand, came in on sudden and cried

Homes for Homeless Children

Rev. D. E. Evans, of Minneapolis,
visited Redwood Falls last Sunday
and gave an account in the four church
es of the Minnesota Children's Aid So
ciety, of which he is the assistant SUI
perintendent. The society has been
in existence little over two years,
and has during that time found good
Christian homes for more than $50
children, nearly all of them being
adopted. The society offers to find a
home for any homeless child, of sound
mind and body. Fourteen years is the
highest limit to the age at which any
child is taken under its care, while
many are taken when only few days
old.
Families applying for children must
be known to be persons of good Christ
ian character, and must furnish good
references from whom the society may
learn their fitness to receive and adopt
such children.
Mr.. Evans showed how economical
ly the work of the society is conduct
ed, and that, by finding a good home
for child, the society lifts burden
from the county, besides securing for
such child an inestimable boon, of the
best substitute for parental care.
Mr.. Evans had several people call
ing on him while here who wanted
children to adopt, and he is likely to
be able to suit them; while four child
rem from the immediate neighborhood
are in few days to go to St. Paul to
be under his care.
Mrs. Jas. Anderson, Mrs. Jas. John
son and Miss Annie McLennan left on
