winter, and will give the legislature OF
next winter plenty of work to do on this

(To be continued.)

Il believe that the greatest obstacle in
the, way of real teaching to-day is the
standard of examinatihns. The examin-
ations usually given simply test the pu-
pills power of memorizing disconnected
facts. Examinations should not be made
the test of fitness for promotion. Perfect
freedom should be given the teacher to
do the lest work in her own way. That
is, the highest good OF the child should
be the sole aim of the teacher, without
the slightest regard for false standards.
The teacher who strives for examinations
and promotions can never really teach.''

The State Turnfest.

The coming turnfest to be held in this
city promises to be an interesting one.
Everywhere throughout the State large
delegations are being elected, and every
body wants to 60 to New Ulm. 1t is
safe to say that the number of visiting
active Turner's will be $50, while over
400 guests will throng the city for all
four days.
The programme of exercises has alrea-
dy been arranged and is given herewith ::
June 22nd: At 4 p. m. the DELEGATE
meeting will begin and continue during
the evening. At $50, the guests arriv-
ing on the 9 :02 train from the east will
be received and assigned to quarters.
June 23rd: At 900 o'clock all Tur-
ners will assemble at the hall and listen
to an address of welcome bv Mayor E..
G. Koch. Responses will be made by
representative visitors; and at 10 the pa
rade of Turner's will start from the hall
and pass through the principal streets.
Returning to the hall, speeches will be
made by Col. Pfaender and Hon. John
Lind. From to 6 in the afternoon,
there will be field and special exercises,
such as fencing, club swinging and
dumb b-bell exhibitions, and also individu-
al turning. In the evening, beginning
at 8 80 there will be speeches and decla-
nations for prizes. interspersed with.
songs and music for the entertainment
of those who attend.
June 24th: From Z to in the morn

wand drill and special feats including

which was fought the battle of Birch
Coolie." = and ssto erect thereon
q granite monument" etc, and not two
miles away, but THERE ON THE SPOT
WHERE THE BATTLE WAS FOUGHT. And
they have no more right to put that
monument on any other spot in the vic
unity than they have to erect it in Bridge
square in St. Paul-which, by the way
would be much more appropriate place
than the site as now chosen-which
means nothing, indicates nothing,ignores
the spot made sacred by the '.blood of
the heroes who we're there slain" and is
selected in direct violation of the statute
appropriating the money for its con-
struction. As we'll have placed Bunker
Hill monument in Cambridge or Lynn,
the Custer monument at Miles City OF
the New Ulm monument at St. Peter.
If there was any reason for this action
there might be some excuse for it, but
there is none. The battlefield lies with
in 200 feet of the main highway through
Renville county, and the monument
would be visible to all passers by, and
constant reminder of our early struggles
Where it is proposed to place it it can
only be seen from the town of Morton,
at distance of at least half or three
quarters of mile, on high bluff mac
cessible without immense effort. 1t will
be indistinguishable from a grave stone
and, in fact. utterly lost.
This thing must be stopped, and
stopped quickly,and it can only be done
by public sentiment being strongly ar
rayed against the proposed illegal and
selfish action of the majority of the csm-
mittee.
A similar condition of things occurred
in regard to the New Ulm monument.
The act of the legislature, which made
the appropriation for it, foolishly auth
orized the common council of the city to
select its location, and to the amazement
of all parties interested, This body placed
1t in an obscure part of the town in front
of saloon, run by someone who had
pull on the authorities; and had not
public sentime Mt been thoroughly aroused
the whole affair would have been dis
grace to the town and the state, instead
of the pride and ornament as it now
stands.
No doubt attempts will be made
through the press to justify the action
of the committee in their action in the
premises. All we have to say to any,
one who wants absolutely accurate in
formation on this important matter is,
write to Dr.. J. w. Daniels, of Faribault
or W. H. Grant of St. Paul, members of
the committee, and they will furnish full
particulars.
We hope the press of the state will
take this matter up, and keep it up, un-
til the monument is completed on the
spot made sacred oy ''the blood of the
heroes who were there slain.'' or legal
proceedings are instituted to restrain the
commission of the contemplated out
rage-St. Paul Globe.

A Point Well Taken.

The county superintendent complain
that the state high schools do not furnish
them with competent teachers for the
country schools. The presidents of the
normal schools also charge the high
schools with incompetency and say that
they have to give the graduates of the
high schools that attend the normals =
thorough review in all the branches be-
cause of the lack of theroughness in the
high schools. In both instances we be-
lieve the charges agai.st the high schools
are we'll founded, though there are of
course exceptions. The graduates of
high schools make incompetent teachers
because too often too little attention
has been given to thoroughness until they
reach the high school, or, the last four
years of the course, when they are under
the supervision of the state high school
board. In the branches below the high
school, there is deplorable lack of
thoroughness and those are the branches
that the teacher has TO deal with in the
country schools. As they were not
taught properly in those branches, they
in turn do not teach them properly and
their incompetency is more noticeable
because they are graduates" of high
school. The same lack of thoroughness
makes itself manifest at once when these
high school students enter the normal
school, -Slayton Gazette.
