The idea is advanced that the

why? tits apparent to all that the
Sherman law is the source Of the

necessary for Congress to do in the

LONGER SCHOOLS WANTED.

The recent investigation Of the
condition Of the school fund in this
county has brought to the attention
of the public some Of the difficulties
In the way of the successful opera
ton Of our public school laws. In
the first place there are too many
schools taught in the county. This
divides up the school money in such
a way that the children receive the
benefit of only a few months school
ing each year, when, if there were
fewer schools, the time would be ex-
tended several months in each year,
better results would follow, and in
terestin the educational work in the
county would thus correspondingly
increase, all Of which would result
advantageously to the children
which is the object of the law.
Then it is all easier thing to di-
rect and protect the school interests
where there are fewer number of
schools taught in the county, than
to manage them when the difficult
ties are multiplied by their number.
Besides, they are less in the extent
of their Importance to the children,
which is the greatest objection, as
the children are entitled to and they
should receive all the advantages
and benefits possible from the pub
lie school fund.
The educational interests of our
children are important; the diff
culties of comprehending all their
needsand wiselyproviding for them
are great, and while the present
school law and the manner in which
it has been executed in this county
is open to criticism, still the diff
culties and objections can be rem
edied and removed to o certain ex-
tent by reducing the number of
schools taught.
II is all nonsense for directors
to permit schools to be taught il
every little community Of their re.
spective districts simply because il
is convenient to few families who
have joined together in the con,
struction Of house for school pur
poses and requested the directors
to include it in the apportionment
The number Of schools taught il
the county could be reduced by a
least half. Benton County now ha
more schools than many counties
in the State where the scholasti,
population will more than trebl
that Of our own. We must not los
sight of the fact that the object 0
the school law is to educate on
children and not to accommodate
every boy or girl whose desire is t
make few dollars in the easies
manner possible.
To be more explicit, would nc
the benefits to be derived from a 81
oran eightmonths schoolbegreate
than that of a three or four month
school? Would student who's
mind thirsts for knowledge objeC
to walking three or more miles t
attend a six or an eight month
school instead of walking one o
two miles, as he does now, to atten,
school only three or four month
out of the twelve2
This is an important subject i
which all are interested, and "
want it discussed.

In a Fourth Of July letter Pres
ident CLEyELAND made use Of the
following sentence that is worthy of
remembrance: eff those who now
celebrate the anniversary Of Amer
lean independence guard against
the sordid struggle for unearned
wealth that stiles patriotism; if
they exact from public servants the
strictest accountability in the per-
formance Of public duties; if they
hold fast to the American idea that
work is honorable and economy a
virtue; if they insist that there
should be honesty and truthfulness
and cleanliness in politics, and il
they refuse to encourage expedi.
ents that endanger the foundation
of sound national finance, those
who follow us will joyously cele.

CATER repeal, what?" says the

WHILE the report of the county
finance committee does not show
what the available funds for school
purposes aggregated for each year
for the three years included in the
investigation, this is satisfactorily
explained by the committee. Pro-
visions were made for contingent
expenses, such as releases, etc, and
until this is known there is no way
of ascertaining theamount Of funds
available for the public schools.
