EXAMINATION TORTURES.

War has been declared on the school
examination. In the eastern states
movements are on foot to crush the
practice out.
Naturally the educators are up in
arms. The principle fault with peda-
gogues is pedants narrowness and a
mind of petrified habits. They do too
many things because some other in
structor has done them.
Most parents will welcome the down
fall of the exacting examination. As
often as once month, in soma cases,
children are put upon the rack by the
public school system and worked up
into nervous fit, which all the arithme-
tic that schoolmasters ever spouted, can
not make amends for. The approved
method of pedagogIc torture is to give
ten questions or problems to be aus
wered in an hour. The anticipation of
the test makes the pupil miserable for
several nights before it takes place. He
is nervous aud befuddled when he at
last attacks the questions and often falls
below n less studious child who does
not care whether he passes or not, is not
nervous and consequently takes hold
upon the question with a comparatively
clear, steady mind. The examination is
unfair to the pupil and detrimental 10
his health.
Youth has enough bugbears as it is
and the abolition of the terrible exami-
nation will be welcomed everywhere.
that is everywhere except behind the
teachers desk in the school house.
The teacher who is not shrewd enough
to know the mental capability of pupil
after six months association with him,
has no right to teach. An examination
Is unnecessary to detect the worth of a
mind. And what is more 10 the point
an examination does not detect it.
The Wichita daily eagle., 1893-12-29
ANOMALOUS PROCEEDINGS.

AT last the sale of the Cherokee bonds
has been effected, the paper going to an
English syndicate. This has been an
anomalous proceeding all the way
through. Leaving out of the count the
rightfulness of paying the Cherokees
anything for the REIMBURSEMENT Of
their alleged claim TO the strip, which
was seriously questioned by many we'll
informed men, the payment might just
as well have been made in silver coin
then and now lying idle in the treasury,
thus adding nearly 100000 to the
currency in active circulation, and at
the same time avoiding an increase in
the public debt. After the bond policy
was adopted, however, it was reasonable
to expect that the governments securi-
ties would be readily taken up by our
own people. Why this has not been
done is source of wonderment, in view
of the fact that the holdings of money
in the east are larger than ever known,
on account of the absence of a demand
for it in trade and industrial enterprises,
and in view, also, of the character of the
securities and the good rate Of interest
they bear.
The placing of American securities
abroad, already aggregating hundreds
of millions Of dollars, is one of the most
prolific causes of the heavy drain upon
our currency volume, and will continue
TO embarrass our finances and business
as lone as the policy is pursued.

PROMOTING IRRIGATION.

Along the line suggested by the irriga-
ton convention recently held in this
city as regards the governments partici-
patton in the development OF the posi-
biliiies of irrigation, inquiry is being
made by the geological survey to de-
termine what water supply can be used
for irrigation in the arid lands of the
west. Twelve scientists of the bureau
are now at work making maps and TAX
ing computations. In a general way
this is the first and most important, In
fact the all-Important point TO be ascer-
tanned. The source and sufficiency OF
water accessible to the lands 10 be sup
piled being definitely known, the prob
lem of irrigation is practically solved.
The matter of conducting and applying
the water to the land is principally
mechanical and devolves upon the in
dividual or community TO be benefited.
The impetus that has been given TO
this important subject by its earnest and
Intelligent discussion of late has already
brought it to a point, as shown above,
never attained before in this country and
there is little doubt that in comparative
ly short time extensive areas in the
semi-arid districts will be yielding crops
such as are always produced under the
fructifying influence of irrigation.
