Kansas City Star: Jerry Simpsons
plan of referring the issues Of war and
peace with foreign nations to an in
vestigating committee of three, has the
charm of novelty, but it has, also, Its
difficulty. All committees of three, of
whatever name or nature, are bound to
make majority and minority report,
and such proceeding would leave the
question of whether the United States
should declare war about where 1t was
before the committee began operations.
1t would simplify matters to leave the
decision to committee of one, con-
sistlng, say, of Mr.. Simpson"

THE FARMERS SIDE,
Where we are, hOw we got here,
and the way out"
By Hon. w. A. PETER,
U.s.. SENATOR FROM KANSAS.
12mo, cloth

LIMO, cloth Price, LOO.
There is demand for comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infiu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARMER's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates of interest
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking.
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general In clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion of "The WAY out I"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
entation of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is compendium of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand
THE FARMER's SIDE has Just been issued.

The republicans of Wichita put up a
job TO make Murdoch and Hallowell
appear popular. In mock convention
they nominated Murdoch for governor,
and Hallowell for congress. They also
nominated democratic ticket-for
governor, D. M. Dale; for congress, w.
Z. Campbell; they then nominated a
peoples ticket-for governor, H. B.
Highly, for congress, w. II. Culp. The
democrats are trying to find out who
Dale is, and the peoples party men are
trying to find out who Highly is. The
peoples party will nominate candidates
for governor and for congress, at the
proper time, and will then elect them.

will break up many of the complica-

SOME "DONT'S IN SCHOOL MANAGE
MENT.
J.. 5. Osborne: Don't scold. It is baC
on the teacher, bad on the pupils. A
teacher who cries out in a loud com
handing voice, John, want you to &c
to work now,' is failure. You ought
to do things in better way. Don't
speak If you can avoid it, don't speak
when look will do. A great deal can
be done by look.
If James is idle, you can thunder out
sharply, Study your lesson SIR or you
can catch his eye and glance at his
book or desk; if he has not been habitu-
ally scolded he will take hint, and be-
gin to search for his book.
II you have such notices as Thine is
precious, mo idleness here" hung on
your school room walls, look at an idle
pupil, then glance at the motto. His
eye Will follow yours and his hand feel
for his book. The result is better than
if obtained by sharp words; so 1 say.
Don't scold." A child who is scolded
becomes hardened.
Don't be cross.
BE mild and firm and you will have
influence; you will hold your pupils,
and do it easily. Don't buster about:
don't threaten; you will lose your gov
erning power if you do. The clustering
wind could not make the traveller take
off his coat, but the quiet sun did Be
polite to your pupils. and you will be-
get Ill them the same habit. Don't feel
too stiff to say ''please" to small pupil
Don't command when requesting will
do. Thus you will retain the child s
good Will. Don't be gloomy, crusty,
cross; be bright. pleasant, good-natur-
ed. You will sec Joar manners reflect
ed in your pupils.
Don't make pretences; your pupils
will find you out. Pupils study nothing
so much as their teachers. They know
more of you than you imagine they do.
What do you think they think of you?
Do your work quietly; speak to your
pupils In moderate tone. If you speak
ioud to-day, you must speak louder to-
morrow. Be not hasty to censure. If
it be an accident, think first whether
you would have been likely to make the
same mistake had you been in that pu-
pills place. Don't be always ready to
ind fault. 1t discourages a scholar to
talk much of his faults. Commend him
but don't fiatter: Willie, that is pretty
we'll done, but | think you will do it
better tomorrow, don't you?
Don't be arbitrary in your govern
ment- Let the scholars feel that they
haVean interest in the school, and that
it is their school. Teach them self-re-
lance and self-control

called at our Office Monday and showed
us the Complete School Chart, publish
ed by the American Book Co. They
propose to sell them to the school dis
tricts of this county. While we always
refuse to lend our influence, knowingly,
to aid any one to get money out of the
school districts without returning full
value, we can say to school boards, that
we believe this School Chart to be a
very good thing for the use of the COM
mon school, including. as it does, maps,
physiology, charts, and many other
things, all of which can be made good
use of in school. While the publishers
and agents, no doubt, make big money
out of it, still, when its size and amount
OF matter is considered, it is cheaper
than any other chart we have heard of.
The price is $35, and it contains SO large
pages of useful matter.

Map drawing can begin better with
the moulding pan than with a pencil.
The surrounding hills are represented.
valleys made, ponds or streams traced
readily in the sand. A pan. two feet by
three feet, makes very convenient size
and can be obtained from any timer at
very small cost; sand used for plaster
ing will do if mixed with a small amount
of well-pulverized soil, or dust. Follow
ing this, work with the pencil may be
given. A map may be drawn of the
top OF the desk, then transferred to the
wall Notice the difference In appear
ance and position from that it had
while on the table. This gives the gen.
eral idea or representation by means of
ways. which are presented when the

up.

they know of any objects so drawn, and
encourage them to express themselves
