Written Examinations.

What importance is to be attached
to written examinations? How often
should they be held? These questions
are more pertinent than is usually sup
posed. The fact Of their almost uni
versal adoption is strong evidence in
their favor. 1t is evidence so strong
that it would appear useless to call an
investigation were there no rumblings
of discomfort. But cry comes from re-
sponsible sources that one, if not more,
of the ends for which they We're insti-
tuted is not being subserved.
The purposes for which written ex-
aminations were instituted may be
stated as follows: % A review of the
subject; (2) to furnish data for grading
the work and determining the standing
of the pupils; 81 to train the pupils to
be methodical and precise. We shall
now try to determine the adaptability
of the means to these ends.
All admit that reviews are beneficial;
nay, that they are necessary. But re-
views may be either oral or written,
and the question now is, in which does
the greatest advantage lie?
The subject matter is more deeply
impressed in written examinations;
but, on the other hand, written reviews
require more labor for both teacher
and pupil. Again, if pupil misses he
has no means of knowing the correct
answer without investigating the text
for himself or having the teacher go
over the work. Few pupils will take
this trouble unless required to do SO.
Thus we see that. from the stand
point Of review, the oral method should
be used frequently; the written, &C.
casionally.
As furnishing data to be used in grad
ing, the written examination appears
to have the advantage; but 1t is from
this standpoint that the cry Of dissat-
isfaction is heard. A written examina-
ton furnishes more reliable data for
grading II honestly passed; but the In
ducements to cheat and to steal are too

Indians Pay for Their Fun.

The interior department has been
called upon to adjust comical case in
volving sixteen Usage Indians in the
Indian Territory. These Indians were
having a war dance and wanted, as far
as possible, to make it realistic without
doing murder. In looking about for
victim they seized a man whom they
suspected of being a horse thief, and
began an imitation Of scalping him.
They shaved his hair about his scalp
and added a few smuts of paint to give
CORY appearance and then released
him.
The man Immediately brought suit
for damages against them, but before
the case was decided stated his willing
ness to compromise the matter. The
agent Of the Osages presented the facts
before the Indian bureau, who recon-
mended that the victim be paid out of
the tribal fund, but the secretary Of
the interior thought to punish them and
decided that the amount asked should
be paid BY the sixteen Indians impli-
Gated out Of their Per capita allowance.

individuals. We have evidence of that
here in Kansas, and ye: legislation
is all against corporations, and without
any good cause.
It is a we'll known fact that the trend
Of legislation in Kansas, as well as else
where, is against corporations, and laws
are passed to cripple them on every side.
This. too, when it is equally we'll known
that the companies are running behind.
At the same time the wages of the EN-
ployes Of some departments of different
corporations are kept up to as high a
point as when they were doing a heavy
business and making money.
Almost every o:her class of employ.
es have been forced to a reduction Of
wages, except in operating departments
of railroads.
1t is one of the strangest sights to
see the farming interests unite with
railroad employees in legislation to keep
up their wages and to cripple the rail-
roads.
The wage Of farm labor has come
down in the same proportion that all Ia
Dor has done, except the operating de-
partments of railroads. Very few bust
ness men in the last three years have
made any money and have been obliged
to cut expenses on every corner. The
produce of the farmer is down to the
lowest ebb. and vet this same class OF
men will unite in all means possible to
cripple railroads. Would it not be we'll
for the farmers to look this matter
square in the face and see how long it
will be, if the present tendency to de-
stroy capital is kept up, before their
farms and property will be placed in
jeopardy. as is the case with every other
kind of business. These are matters it
would be well for ali classes of people to
look into carefully.

of Cooking.
If the eating of flesh food be in
stanced as a distinction that separates
man from anthropoids. it can be urged
on the other side that the latter feed
on insects and when in captivity by no
means despises flesh food. The first
man, too, was probably vegetarian"
but necessity and the absence Of suf-
ficient vegetable food for his augment
ing species may have driven him to q
flesh diet.
The cooking or roasting of meat must
be regarded as an acquisition OF a
later epoch. because in the earliest
stages of mans development there was
undoubtedly q very long fireless period
and because there are said to be fire
less people even in the present day,
such as the Dokos. in Abyssinia, OBJ
serves the FOrtnightly Review. The
Australians. too, knew nothing of boil
ing and roasting food until the advent
OF the Europeans. For the rest, alb
the savages know how to kindle fire
by the well-known method Of friction
of two sticks. or, what is simpler, they
take a torch along with them on their
wanderings that never goes out. The
Andamanites preserve their fire by con-
Stunning the interiors of hollow trees.
Since the Adamanites have come in
contact with Europeans they have SUI
perseded this method of preserving fire
by the use Of matches. which are very
favOrite objects with them. They eat
their food either raw or roasted, less
frequently boiled, as they have no cook
ing utensils. Moreover, according to
the latest accounts from Otto Luders

Their hatchetS and axes, formerly made
Of stone, are now made Of iron, and are
