Columbian Celebration.

ED. INDEX: The movement for a
National Columbian Public School Gel
ebration ON October 21st, is meeting
with wide popular response, Nearly
ali the State Superintendent of Educa-
tion are taking measures to make their
schools the centers of the local celebra-
ton OH Columbus Day. The Grand
Army of the Republic is taking warm
interest in the Celebration, and general
orders have been issued for the Posts
to encourage the schools TO assume the
leadership.
President Harrison, complying with
the act of congress of June 10Th, has is
sued proclamation recommending to
the people the observance, in all their
localities, of the 400th anniversary of
the Discovery OF America, on the 2lst
day of October, 1892, by public demon
stration, and by suitable exercises in
their schools and other places of assem-
bly,.
The proposal for this Celebration has
been very generally discussed by the
press, aE1 from all sides there is a
| marked friendliness to the idea.
A Washington correspondent inter-
viewed representative Jerry Simpson a
few days ago, and IN the course of the
conversation the Public School Celebra-
ton was mentioned. In reply to the
question, what is your opinion of the
proposal for National Celebration of
| CN1n nou 70, no Ia1 hx,f ha Dnh IN
Schools 20 Representative Simpson re-
| Piled:
Il have read in the papers about this
Celebration of Columbus Day by the
Public Schools of America, and | am
very much in favor of it.
The Free School is about the!only
public institution, except the post office,
that everybody comes in contact with.
We all had to go through the common
school. 1t Is the great public institu-
ton which makes generation after gen
Grafton of children understand what
the American spirit means.
81 think it IS true, as 1 have heard
somewhere in relation to this Public
School Celebration, that the Public
School is the most characteristic pro-
duct of the four centuries of American
life. The Celebration seems to belong
to the School. The schools to-day are
full of those who will be citizens in a
few years. They are the political train
ing schools where American ideas and
principles are taught. And to make a
great festival of the Anniversary of the
discovery of America, in which all the
Schools of the United States. some 49,
DOC, 900 scholars, L understand, will move
together and do the same work at the
same hour, will be a great thing for
America.
Il Will talk it up among my constit-
uents, and do all can to push it along
This Celebration is one that ought to
be fraught with interest 20 every teach
er. The Day can be commemorated in
a manner not only interesting, but prof
liable to every school. The movement
to make it National Celebration among
the schools Will doubtless receive hear.
ty cooperation and support on every
band.-ED.

Cresset: The KIowa Review gives
the whole snap away. The shrewd
business men of Kiowa wanted to ad-
vertise their city, and hit upon the
unique method of springing the Chero-
kee strip business in congress. They
wanted the world to know that KiOwa
was the gate city to the Cherokee coun-
try. After the plans were all matured
the next thing was to find willing tools
to spring the trap. Their thoughts
naturally turned to Simpson and Land
IS, apd they found their suckers. Con-
gress talked about Kiowa; the associat-
ed press talked about KiOwa; every.
body got map to see where KiOwa is
located, and the Kiowa boomers are

1t seems very evident that our friend

q Sight on men rather than principles.
Considering the personnel OF many
against us, we feel strongly tempted,
at tim es, to accept the challenge on

list cause, depends upon the education
of our voters In the principles we advo-
cate. Hot, angry discussions of mer
only build up party prejudice: candid
discussions of principles, help to re-

1t behooges all men to realize that they

Don't Sow Smutteh Wheat.

Western Farm Journal: The losses
to farmers every year from smut ag-
gregates a very large amount of money.
While we do not claim that it can be
altogether avoided, much of it can be
by the simple method of dipping the
what in hot water. The water should
be at temperature of 131 degrees
by the ordinary Fahrenheit thermome-
ter. The most convenient method is to
fill boiler with water at Il tempera-
ture of 40 to 1o0. Place the seed in
q basket, preferably of wire) or gunny
sack and immerse it for moment,
take it out and when most of the water
has escaped, dip it in again and again.
Then place 1t in a second vessel with
the water at 131 degrees and keep 1t
at that by adding hot water as it cools,
or if in heating it should rise above
131 cool it by means of cold water, but
in no case allow the tempera ture to
rise above 135 or fall below 100. 1t
will do the seed no harm to allow it
to stand in this water for ten or fifteen
minutes. For convenience in keeping
up the temperature Of the water the
volume of water should be much great
er than the seed treated. 1t goes with
out saying that the sack in which the
seed is immersed should not be full.
