The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1895-04-27

After an interruption of two years,
due doubtless wholly to the hard times,
the tide of immigration has again
turned to the United States. In 1893
and 1894 thousands of immigrants who
had come to America returned to their
homes in Europe For time the ex-
odus was greater than the influx, fact
partially accounted for by the ex-
tremely low rates provided by the
steamship companies for steerage pas
sengers. Now the outgo is very light
while the new arrivals are very nu-
merous. Steamship agents estimate
that before September l fully half a
million emigrants will enter the United
States. Already fully one hundred
thousand Scandinavians have engaged
passage from the various steamship
lines. Reports from Ellis island are
to the effect that not less than one
fourth of the arrivals are naturalized
American citizens, who as the result
of the business depression had re-
turned to their former homes, but are
now resolved to try it once again in
this country. All this is significant of

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1895-04-27

The department of agriculture has
sent out a statement that the wheat
prospects of Europe are nything but
encouraging--that is to say, anything
but encouraging from a European
standpoint: to American farmers the
situation must wear quite different
aspect. The report of the depart
ment of agriculture shows that while
European nations have imposed heavy
wheat duties these must necessarily
fall on the consumer, since the con-
sumner has got to get most OF his wheat
from abroad. France imposes duty
of SO cents a bushel, Italy one of 81
cents, Germany 80 and Sweden %.
Russia has wheat to sell, and does not
fear the importation of grain, but
protects its flour manufacturers with
a duty of 33 cents. The heaviest wheat
duty is that of Spain, which country
collects So cents a bnshel, the present
selling price of American wheat; but
Spain must buy 1900, 900 bushels an.
nually, as the home grain growers are
just that much deficient in their har-
vests

This, of course, the board will do upon
the next assembling of the legisla-
ture, and the question arises whether
in the present emergency it would not
be we'll for the board to make its Sc
lections at once and recommend them
to the school trustees of the state for
immediate adoption. AS to the re-
tention Of the present system for two
years longer by common consent, that
may well be regarded as impossible.
There is too much opposition to cer-
tain of the books on the list, particu-
larry, we believe, to the readers and
arithmetics. The teachers OF Silver
Bow county, and to some extent the
teachers of Lewis and Clarke, have
expressed their satisfaction with the
present system, and these counties
probably would be willing to agree
to make no change. But In other
counties superintendents and teach
ers are sure to jump at the first OPP
portunity to replace the books now In
use with others that they deem to be
more up to date.
a diversity Oh DOCKS In our scnoois
would be something greatly to be re-
GREETED. 1t would involve increased
expense to parents, and particularly
would work q hardship to families
moving from one part Of the state to
another. 1t would tend to destroy the
continuity and homogeneity of our
system of education. A uniform state
course of study is to be desired on ev-
cry account; and If such course is
abandoned for a period of two years,
obviously it will be difficult to restore
IL, for new books will have just been
introduced promiscuously all over the
state, aud people will cry out against
another universal revolution.
We can conceive of no better plan
under the circumstances than that of
letting the state board of education
take the matter in hand and, at its
June meeting, announce its recon-
mendations of text books to the pub
lie. Such recommendations, of course
would not be obligatory upon the
school trustees, but they would carry
official weight, and public sentiment
would demand their adoption.
