ming system. Why this system still
continues is an unsolved problem.
Results show that pupils taught by the
scientific methods accomplish more and
make better practical use of their
knowledge than those taught mechanic
cally. Among the schools of this class
he names those of Baltimore, Buffalo,
Cincin1ati, New York, Worcester, ST.
Louis, Chicago, Boston primary
schools { y and others. In the schools
of the second class there is vast diff
fereuce in the methods and much inn
provement, though there are some
weak points. Under this head come
the schools in Washington, ID. c.,
Yonkers, \. Y, Springfield, Quincy,
and Brookline, Mass, etc. But in the
schools of the third class may be found
the highest educational results Of which
we are capable. In the primary
schools, no wall is made between the
different branches, but they are taught
in their natural relations to each other.
The only schools of this class found
are those Of indianapolis, Minneapo-
lis, St. Paul and La Porte, Indiana.
This series of articles gives some
scathing criticisms on schools which
imagine themselves perfect. 1t con-
tains the valuable opinions of man
thoroughly conversant with the sub
ject ana who has compared our meth
ods with those Of Europe rather to our
disadvantage. But our schools must
be judged not by their catalogues or
curriculums, but by the men and wom-
en- they send out for these will be their
glory or their shame.

1t is very evident now that the
Worlds Fair will be opened on Sun
day. The local directors have all
along been in favor Of it, and now
many of the National Commission are
of the same mind. The pressure of
public opinion is decidedly in favor of
Sunday opening. Then, too, the at
tendance has been so much less than
was anticipated that the directors are
beginning to long for the extra shekels.
The large majority of the people prob
ably care little which way the matter is
decided, but wish that it might have
been decided one way or the other long
ago, and the decision enforced.
Since the above was written, the
Fair was opened last Sunday, and
125, 600 people were present. Judge
Stein has issued an injunction forbid
ding the closing Of the Exposition
again on Sunday.

on "Decadence in Art" H. III. Boy
esen, DR.. j. 5. Billings, Louis Win
derweller and George ellison contribute
the remaining articles, all on timely
subjects. The Forum always shows
the result of careful and scholarly
thought on subjects Of the present day,
which daily paper cannot do.

Light Weights.

An Alpena citizen says he saw
a pair of scales recently that will
weigh the flames of candle or the
smallest strand of hair plucked
from the eyebrow. w.-Alpena Jour-
nal.
And "Alpena citizen" is scarcely
in it. Go down to the South Da-
kota Agricultural college-have
you heard of it?-and into Pro-
fessor Shepard's have you heard
of him? ?-labratory, and either the
professor himself or his assistant,
Hopkins, will tell you Just what
your signature weighs! The chem
list will put a slip of clean paper
on his scales and announce it's
weight. Then by writing your
name on the same bit of paper and
getting the indication of addition
al weight you will have the "spe-
cific gravity of your cognomen
down fine.-Huronite.

Legislators Received.

the reception rendered the leg
islative representatives of Brook
ings county at the opera house
last Friday evening was largely
attended, though the night was
stormy and disagreeable. Senator
Allison was the only member of
the quartette present, the others
being detained at home for one
reason or another. Mayor Collier
was chosen chairman and made
brief speech, after which Rev. A.
NJ. Work offered prayer. Rev.
VIM. Fielder spoke in glowing
terms of the action of our repre-
representatives and went over the
history of prohibition in this state
and said Brookings county always
had been on the right side and the
large number present manifested
that our citizens are still interested
in the good work. Senator Allison
was called for and responded in a
few pointed remarks, stating that
he felt that the members of the
lower house deserved all the praise
as they were in the fight more
than he and was sorry they were
not present to receive the honors
in waiting for them. Rev. A. M.
Work read the report of the COM
mittee appointed to draft resolu-
tions and added a neat speech to
the report. The reception changed
to ''informality,' refreshments
we're served and a general Glove
feast was indulged in. The
occasion was a pleasant and profit
able one in every particular.

Here, boys and girls, you who
are studying arithmetic in school,
figure on this: 1.-TWO hunters killed
a deer and sold it in the woods.
They had no way of weighing it,
but knowing their own weight
one 130 pounds the other 1870
they placed a rail across the fence
so that it balanced with one on
each end. They exchanged places
the lighter taking the deer in his
lap and the rail balanced again.
What was the weight of the deer?'

Made Him Crazy.

Citizen-"What's the matter,
John, that you are tearing around
at a 2:40 gait?
Real Estate Dealer" -"Matter?
Why, do you know there are
dozen or more families who are
waiting to find residences in this
city and that we are unable to
supply even one of the applicants.
1t is enough to make one crazy to
see how easy some people take
things when the city is laboring to
such disadvantage. We must at
once take steps to supply the
demands or it will work disaster
to Brookines. We must have new
houses built at once
Trains abandoned Monday and
Tuesday.
Considerable excitement in real
estate matters.
News this week are like hens
teeth, few and far between.
Miss Maude Hegeman is quite
sick this week with a severe cold.
DR.. A. p. Culbertson of Brook
ings was on our streets Friday and
Saturday.
White will experience a building
boom this spring. We must have
more houses.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
churcn gave a cobweb social Wed
nesday evening.
J. H. Hendricks of Spencer, Ia.,
was shaking hands with his many
friends the first of the week.
Miss Kate Hess who has been
visiting her sister, Mrs. Philips,
this winter, returned to her home
in Flandrau last Saturday.
Hon. j. G. Allison and Mr.. and
Mrs. P. j. Hegeman attended the
reception given our honored state
representatives at Brookings last
week.
A few of the many friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. D. McKeeth took
possession of their house on the
evening of the 10th inst. All re-
port a very pleasant time.
There is a strong probability of
A. II. Woodard putting another
story on his double store to be
used by the Masonic fraternity for
a hall and banquet rooms.
The winter term of our public
schools closed the 14th. The pu-
pills have done excellent work under
the efficient leadership of Prof.
Norman. We are Justly proud of
our schools.
On the 23rd and 24th. The
White Dramatic Go. will present
the great amateur drama, enlist
ed for the War;" followed by a
laughable farce, entitled "The
Country School" The proceeds
of the entertainment will be used
to purchase books for the new
public library.

portation within the grounds will
be rolling chairs, elevated railway
and boats on the lagoons. There
will be sixteen hundred rolling
chairs wheeled about by attend
ants anywhere on the grounds or
in the buildings. The railway is
a recently invented water-power
elevated railway, with which it is
claimed a speed of hundred
miles an hour can be attained in a
very short distance. But by far
the most delightful mode of transit
will be the japanese and Venetian
barges on the lagoons which wind
everywhere through the park,
making beautiful watery
labyrinth. 1t will be truly luxur-
ious to recllne lazily upon one of
these slender craft and gaze on the
sun-bathed, glittering buildings,
and eager, thronging crowds of all
nationalities good naturedly jostl-
ing one another, full of wonder at
all they behold, and each inwardly
repeating "the half was never told

The present state of progress of
the work is very encouraging.
The interior painting is nearly
done, owing to the rapidity of the
new process whereby the paint is
applied to the wood work through
an engine and hose. The exhibits
are rapidly arriving, last weeks
arrivals far exceed those of any
previous week. In the horticul-
tural department most of the ex-
hibits are already on show, and
truly the sight is grand. When
beholding it one cannot restrain a
feeling of awe at their vast variety
and great beauty, and there springs
up in ones heart feeling of love
and sympathy for these living,
breathing plants with whom we
are proud to claim a partial kim
ship. ADAM ANTINE.

Of so-called silver men were disposed

was becoming evident that silver
legislation In the senate would be

therefore, there was q disinclination
