Pastures are slowly improving. Corn is
becoming weedy in the southern and
central counties, while but little Of it has
as yet been planted north Of the Kaw.
West of the Arkansas the cultivator is
busy in the corn6elds.
In Barber, Harper aud Sumner, wheat
is in full bloom and with reasonable
weather will be ready for harvesting In

Strawberries are ripe in the southern
tier of counties; In the low lands OF Mont
gomery, Labette and Cherokee, however,
they have been much damaged by water
The gale of Wednesday whipped fruit
very badly, and literally Bcorched leaves
of trees and tender garden plants, al
though the wind was cool Northwestern.

better weather, though the clouds and
showers predominated; the wet weather

The Moorhead News contains sad
fermentation over the fact that in these
degenerate days men actively seek
positions of honor, and the paper
especially grieves that the Offices of
speaker of the house and United
States senator should actually be
sought by candidates. We fail to
see the public harm in men seeking
such places, and the harder the fight
the more probable it is that the best
men will win. This country is not
going backward because good men
strike for public places, and there is
no other nation on earth where
public sentiment compels greater
recitude in official conduct and in
political campaigns. All officials are
not honest and trustworthy, but those
who betray their obligations are
certain Of disgrace and defeat. 1t is
appropriate to urge that men be
selected for their worth, but it is moi
in the interests Of the best government
to discourage personal aspirations OF
to create sentiment that it is un
becoming to seek public positions.

FREE TEXTBOOKS.

The following extract from the
Pioneer Press review by Prof. Kiehle,
state superintendent of the public in
struction, will be read with interest
by the people Of this city.
There are several interesting topics
which more particularly concern the
ordinary district or common schools
than those of higher grade. One of
these is the subject OF textbooks. The
superintendent notices that the con-
tract which has existed for fifteen
years between the state and D. D.
Merrill has now expired. His books
show that 1888, 824.33 have been ex-
pended for books during these fifteen
years. 1t now becomes necessary to
adopt some other plan Of furnishing
these schools with books. The super
intendent recommends, on account of
both financial and educational inter-
ests, that plan of free textbooks be
followed out. He gives reasons for
this, as follows:
From the financial side, purchases
are made direct from the publishers
at lowest rates. The experience Of
other states and of many cities has
been that the cost per pupil is reduc-
ed to about 40 cents, 50 that the aver
age cost to district of fifty pupils
would be about 500 annually.
From the educational side there
appear the following advantages:
"First-There is absolute uniform.
Idly for the district, which is all the
uniformity that is necessary, the
books being part Of the apparatus
of the school.
"Second--T The books are ready fol
all the pupils at the opening Of the
school. This is n great gain. 1t il
no unconmon thing for days and
en- weeks Of the short term of 8
country school to be made almost
useless because children have ne
books.
"Third-By this plan pupils can bf
put into classes best suited to them.
"Fourth-The attendance IS much
increased. 1t is not uncom.
mon for parents of large but pool
families to keep their children Al
home because they do not feel able tc
equip them with the necessary books.
I'm the execution of this plan pro
vision must he made by which teach
ers will be held strickly responsible,
to the district for the care Of books
and exact reports made by distric
officers of the condition and cost o
the textbook library"
Little Falls is one Of the few cite
where the free text books system ha
been adopted, and here It has operat
ed to the entire satisfaction of tn
board of education and the patrons O.
the school.
