MAKING OUR SCHOOL MARMs.

V. X. Stanley Of this city, president
Of the board of regents Of the State
Normal school at Emporia, Kan, calls
attention to the prosperous condition
OF that institution. Mr.. Stanley says
there is no state institution in better
condition, doing better work. and ac-
complishinS such gratifying results as
the Normal school.
1t is certainly a great institution.
Its faculty are all we'll chosen and able,
the curricula of its various depart
ments are thorough. &, The number Of
its graduates annually exceeds any
thing of like institutions in the west.
The Kansas school master and the
Kansas school marin are for the most
part made at he Normal school in EN-
poria. From there they go out to
wrestle with the budding minds of the
young Kansans. Few parents in Kan
SaS know how systematic and methodi-
cal this work of preparing teachers is.
1t is best set out in the language Of the
catalogue of the institution which SAYS:
teaching in the Normal school are based
upon the following principles:
l. That proficiency in the art of teach
ing is dependent upon a thourough knoyl-
edge Of the fundamental principles of the
science.
2. That every teacher should possess
historical as well as a philosophical knowl-
edge of the means by which harmonious
development Of the physical, intellectual
and moral powers is secured.
3. That clear conceptions OF methods can
more readily be attained by an intelligent
study OF them in practical operation.
4. That our public schools should not be
novitiates, but that defects should be
remedied and skill acquired in training
schools supervised by competent critics.
s. That development should always be
paramount to acquisition.
6. That economy and adaptability should
be the test of method.
Z. That self-government should be the
aim Of all discipline.
s. That high moral character Is one of
the essential qualifications of the good
teacher.
9. That unity of aims and methods is
necessary TO economic and successful
management of the school system Of a
state.
10. That a training secured In working
with appliances chosen with method in
view always proves the most skillful
II. That no teacher IS properly equipped
who is not familiar with the various
methods of utilizing the material about
him for illustrating simple lessons in all
the physical sciences

Gas Drunks-dS.

A policeman in Covirgton, Ky, found
several boys in "a deep slumber, lying on
the grass by the roadside. IL required
some work to awaken them. Each had l,
handkerchief spread over his mouth, and
the policeman thought at first that he had
run across a suicide club.
The boys finally said that they had
climbed one of the city lampposts and
had turned on the gas until their hand
kerchiefs had been thoroughly saturated.
Then they had climbed down and retired
to the grass to lie down and have good
sleep. They described the sensation pro
duced from inhaling the gas as delightful,
producing dreamy condition lasting for
an hour. The practice has been going on
among hundreds Of boys for some time,
and many OF them are gas drunkards.-

ENGLAND WON'T FIGHT AMERICA.

| Wouldn't England be i'm a pretty
J pickle with her Venezuela claims. Mic
araguan designs and Canadian squab-
bles were a patriotic American occupy
ing the White House in place Of the old
English bond-dealer, Grover c.? All
! London is dull. our dispatches say,
because of hard times in America.
| When England fails of receiving less
than a million dollars per day in the
| way of American dividends, American
interest money and American tourist
letters Of credit, they fall to blessing
the blarsted Americans. The mere
suggestion of a bout with England is
followed by an abnormal development
of the bellicOSe In the patriotic breast
of the average American. But in the
subsistence of Bill Hackney the oppor
tunity of thrashing England seems to
fade out The truth is war with
England Is an impossibility no matter
what America might demand with ref
erence to Venezuela or anything else.
Money rules England and declaration
of war between the two countries
would not only instantaneOusly shut off
the million dollars per day tribute
we pay her in the way of interest,
dividends and the like, but ali her hold
ings of stocks and corporate bonds,
her proprietary control of monopOlistic
trusts and the innumerable hooks with
which her money lords hold and control
vast security interests of various kinds,
woud suddenly slump out of sight and
out of existence. SO no matter what
the difference may be England will
never do more than buy, bully and
bluff-will never come to the scratch
of WARMTH America.
