The language work of the applicants showed
marked Improvement both in power and cor
matte though excellent IN some cases, frequently
showed want of training in the practical ap-
plication of book arithmetic. The failure of
many in history and geography due largely
to their attempt to retain knowledge of these
subjects in the form of q number of isolated
facts. One great purpose of teaching is to
develop power and these branches when sought
properly, develop power In that they train the
pupil to view these facts in their relations to
each other and to the whole topic presented
unless the pupil has been taught this he has not
mastered the subject
The gratifying success in the attendance at
the examinations indicates best the growing
appreciation of the purpose and value of the
diploma. Our education is for citizenship.
The purpoae of our elementary schools Is to
give its pupils power to act, correct habits and
the fundamentS of knowledge which are essen
tial to good citizenship. Therefor the value of
the diploma lies IN the fact that by tcstifyiug
that its possessor has completed the elementary
schools, 1t also certltes that he has carried out
the first great duty he owes society and good
government; has acquired good education.
Valuable our examinations are now they can
reach the maximum Influence only after their
intimate connection with the community
through its schools Is universally understood
until it becomes the ambition of every school to
send its quota of applicants So that the list of
graduates will include representatives from
every district in the county.
In order to encourage the study of good liter
ature. the examination in reading for the com
ing year will be based, besides the usual oral
test, upon Knowledge of Longfellw's Evange-
line Hawthorn's Great Stone Face and Irving's
Rip Van Wrinkle.
The plan of graduation of the diplomas will be
announced next January in the notice of ex-
aminatlons for the coming year.

counter successfully its slow but steady
operation Of distraction.

MILWAUKEE, is celebrating It's semi
centennial to-day and there is not person
10 the state whose congratulations offered
IN this occasion are not heartfelt. Wis
eoDsln is proni OF its giant offspring, and
its smaller sisters throughout the state
have no touch of jealousy because Mil
waukee is the chief star, center of many
stars"
Milwaukee may be, at times, little
too selfassertive at political conventions.
and 1t prominence IN sessions of the state
legislature may be more obtrusive than
deserved. 1t may occasionally lose sight
OF the principle that the whole Is greater
than part, and thereby provoke remarks
which are more pointed than compli-
mentary. But down in their hearts the
people Of Wisconsin love their metropolis,
and all that is needed Is the occasion to
prove how loyal they are to her.
Milwaukee may plume herself on the
progress she has made IN the fifty years
OF her existence. Her growth has been
healthy because natural. She is always
in harmony with her environments and
for this reason readily responds to their
conditions. She is purely a Wisconsin
product, deriving her growth from the
prosperity of the state of which she ie
the chief city, and always faithfully re
ttectlng the progress which the state
makes.
Milwaukee has norivals, as her position
is unique one. There is no other city
in the United States which combines so
many charming features with such COM
mercial and industrial activities. There
ls no air which sweeps over green fields
more pure than that which courses
through the streets of this city The
odOr of the country has not been driven
out by urban imposition. And still, there
is the hustle of business which In other
places seem to require an accompaniment
Of dirt and turmoil. All hail, Milwaukee.
Wisconsin would not exchange you for
any other city under the sun.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
A PRESCRIPTION SENT THOUSANDS
OF MILES.
A Physician whose Success has Given him
Reputation in all parts of the
World.

Our readers no doubt have learned through
our columns, or from reports published in
other periodicals, something concerning the
achievements of DIR. Shoop whose laboratory
is located at Racine, Wisconsin.
The reason why people are manifesting
such an interest in DIR. Shoop, is because Of
his advanced ideas. The public invariably
appreciate airy professional man who has the
ambition and ability to search beyond the
limits that others less skillful reach. DR..
Shops aim and ambition has been to find
the cau5e of chronic diseases of the Blood,
Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, Heart and other
internal organs, it being utterly impossible
to cure a disease without removing the
cause. He is now reaping the reward he
has SO we'll earned, and numbers his patients
by the thousands.
DR.. Shoop has established the fact that
these internal organs are controlled by
certain Her5'sS that are Systematically dlStIi-
buted to these organs. He has found, where
disease exists, that these special nerves are
involved, and fail to supply the ProPer ne'z<
f0rce. This fact established, he at once
prepared a special prescription, DR.. Shops
Restorative, combining certain medicinal
agents that were known by him to act di-
rectly upon these nerve centers, and the re
suit has been truly marvelas.
Tie following letter illustrates how de
te.mined the people are to secure this in
comparable remedy after they have learned
its worth by actual test, and even where II
is necessary to send half way around the
globe to secure it.
