tory, in community events of import
ance, the phenomena of storms of plant
and animal life; in matters of architecture,
simpler mechanics, home duties, town,
county and even state government, in
manners and customs the child must be
acquainted with; in the fall OF rain, the
the cultivation of the soil. the observance
of national holidays. the organization OF
society, the duty of members of society to
each other; great landmarks, events in
state and national history, the occurrence
of elections and celebrations. and so on
through an endless chapter, there is
field to occupy. A series Of in
quires outside of textbooks may well
serve to develop reasoning power, culti-
vate the habit of observation and by
quickening the fancy and stimulating
curiosity go far towards correcting error
and storing the mind with useful knowl-
edge
When such fields as these are covered
the pupil will be found reaching out to
and inquiring into matters that involve
goodI reading upon subjects more diff
cult, and then he will have sufficiently
matured to be equal to the tasks imposed.
But when questions such as we have
quoted are propounded, and answers ex-
pected from pupils without detriment to
the time they should devote to their
studies. there is need for the educational
authorities to step in and apply correct
ives,

SCHOOL QUESTIONS.

In primary school of this city the fol-
lowing questions were last week given
out for pupils to return answers in writ
ing few days later:
l. What ship led the procession of ves-
sells through the Manchester Canal at its
opening to general traffic. January lst?
2. What railroad in the United States
allows tramps to ride free?
session in the history of the United States
Senator
4. How many men enlisted in the
United States army last year, and what
were their previous occupations?
5. What are the qualifications required
of a candidate for the Office of Chaplain of
the United States navy, and what are his
duties2
6. To whom may the President of the
United States extend pardon?
7. What is the Society of lllumina-
ton? Was Illuminati intended by the
teacher
8. What gift has Chicago been prom
ised2
The REcoRD-UNIo asks eight ques-
tions also:
l. Is this system of giving historical.
news and geographical puzzles to school
children prescribed or authorized by the
course of study2
2. Is the child expected to run hither
and thither among its friends to secure
answers to such questions, or TO find the
answers in textbooks, or to read the
voluminous telegraphic reports of the
daily press in order to keep posted and
be ready for these snap riddles by short
sighted teachers?
3. Is the child supposed to be benefited
intellectually, advanced in its studies and
generally strengthened by these devices
to quicken research into matters not in
the course of study and not easily and
readily looked up?
4. Is it, in the opinion of teachers, de-
sirable that school children shall keep
track of newspaper reports in order to
answer such questions as Nos. l, 2 and s.?
5. Is there any teacher who is so pur-
blind as not to see in such questions as
Nos. and 3 absurdity, folly and waste of
energ
s. What teacher or other person in the
glorious republic of which we are citi
zens can possibly give answer to ques-
ton 4? The year 1898 closed at mid
night December 31st. Between that and
the issuance of these questions no statis-
ties have been or could possibly be
gathered on which to base an answer to
No. 4. If other than the calendar year is
intended to be the period in which en-
Iistments were made. why was the ques-
ton not made definite? OF what prac-
tical or theoretical value is such an alb :
surd question:
7. What sense is there in propounding
such a question as No. to school
children, and how many are so situated
as to be able to give reasonably ac-
ourate response?
3. Does the City Board of Education
Justify the practice these questions indi-
cate?
We understand that an exercise ecca-
sionally involving the asking of Ques-
tions and the requirement OF answers in
writing may be useful, may much bene-
fit the child, may quicken its under
standing and train its powers of observa-
ton.
But all such exercises ought to relate
to nractical life details with which the
child is encompassed. They should be
of a character TO incline the pupil to OBJ
serve activities about it, near to 1t, and to
ascertain the reason why.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION!
Too High Pressure.

In these days Of keen competition in every
line, when the business man is compelled to
bend his intellect and every energy to the
success Of his business; the clerk, book
keeper, professional man and laborer, to
drive themselves at a terrific rate, there can
be but one result-an explosion, which, if
not resulting in immediate death, leaves
them with shattered brains and bodies.
They are running at too high pressure.
The strain is too great. Something must
and does give way. This is equally true Of
women. Though their sphere is more
limited, they have their daily burdens, frets.
and worries, and the results are the same a.
with their stronger companions.
This condition is growing worse every
day. The rapidity of its increase is awful
10 contemplate. Our homes, hospitals, and
insane asylums are full of these unfortunates,
: and are being crowded still further. There
is but one solution of the matter. Recog,
nize the importance of the situation at once,
and take the necessary measures to over
come it. If you have failing memory, hot
flashes, dizziness, nervous or sick headache,
biliousness, irritability, melancholy, sleep.
lessness, fainting, nervous dyspepsia, epi-
lepsy, ETC., know that any one of them is but
symptom of the calamity that may befal
you. and even though you have used so.
called remedies and treated with reputable
physicians with little OF no benefit, give DR..
Miles Restorative Nervine trial. 1t is
the only remedy that may be depended
upon for nervous disorders.
Two years ago used Dr. Miles Restorative
Nervine with marked benefit. and later induced
my son, who had been sick with catarrh of the
bladder five years in the hands of our best ply
sicians. to try it together with Dr. Miles Nerve
and Liver Pills. He was so wonderfully benefited

Irrigation III Brule.

A. j. Bartholomew, the state agricultur-
al colleges agent. working under state
engineer Fassett, is the gentleman whom
the GRAPHIC mentioned last week. This
week he is irrigating 20 acre field Of
corn for the IIammell Bros. in Wilbur
township. The water is taken from one Of
the Wilbur we'll bitches. well flowing
400 gallons minute will irrigate Mr..
Bartholomew says ten acres in a day,
wetting it down seven inches, and all
of our wells flow more than that. 1t can
be readily seen. therefore that Brule
county can advance rain or shine. We
can irrigate. And can irrigate better
and at less expense than any of the states
west Of us, that are now irrigating. Col
OradO and Utah for instance. besides irri-
eating from rivers and streams use the
artesian well with profit and big advan-
tage. Although they have to 60 deeper.
soure wells being $500 feet deep, and do
not have half the flow we do here. they
have found it such a good thing that
Utah now has 1000 artesian wells and
Colorado over 1000. Let every one do all
they can to push forward irrigation for
our county. With water applied to
Brule she is all right as all know. The
money to carry Oh the work being done
bv Mr.. Bartholomew comes from Uncle
Sam. 1t is used from the allowance
made for experimental work. AID the
authorities Of the college are to be COM
mentled for using the money to so good
Il purpose. There could not be better
work done. Ii every farmer could be
sure of fourteen acres producing as
bountifully as it would by irrigating
he could live here and be entirely in
dependent.
