It Was Conducted on Humane and En-.
lightencd Principles.
Not until 1870 was there any attempt
at public education in England. And
not till 1875 was it possible for poor
people to send their children to school
without paying the common fee. In
the more remote towns there were few
books; newspapers were seldom seen,
and even such simple object lessons as
menageries or museums never made an
appearance. The religious teachers
were barely able to read the Bible,
much less to give sensible explara-
ton of its mysteries. Fully three
fourths of the English people were un-
able to read and write. The depth Of
this ignorance of even the simplest af-
fairs of life is hardly appreciable in this
day and age of the world.
Illustrative of this is a story Of an
actual occurrence told by an old Corn
ishman:

The Reclamation of Kansas.


The real redemption of Kansas does
not consist In having a certain party
in power or a certain gang of men
warming the chairs around the State
house, but it consists in making every
foot of the broad and fertile prairies OF
the Sunfiower state produce as much as
possible. No richer body of agricul
tural land spreads its beautiful rolling
surface beneath the glistening rays of
sunshine than does the state of Kansas
Eastern Kansas is covered with as vel
improved and productive farms as is
Illinois, the conceded premium agri
cultural ST ate.
Western Kansas has as fine rolling
prairies, as deep soil and as pleasant
climate to live in as Eastern Kansas,
yet failure is often the portion of the
farmer of that section, simply because
be does not have the Seasons to produce
his crop, the rainfall is not sufficient
during the time the crops are growing
and the consequences are drought and
suffering, where there should be an
abundant harvest. A prettier and
richer body of rolling prairie never eX
listed than the broad plains that spread
over Western Kansas. There is abso-
lutely no other impeachment to the sue
ceSsful cultivation of the soil. There
could hitch team to pillow at King
man and cut an almost unbroken fur
row west to the Colorado line, then run
a furrOw through the west portion OF
the state from the Nebraska line to the
Territory.
Now what is to effect the redemption
of this valuable domain? The only an
sWer is practical irrigation. 1t is not
necessary that the people should be
robbed by the voting of immense sub
sides for irrigation that goes into the
pockets of political irrigatOrs. What
the people of Kansas want is to study
practical irrigation and adopt it in the
sections of the state where the rainfall
is not sufficient. When this is done
Kansas, as state will OGtstrip Illinois
in the amount of agricultural products
and be the prince of farming states.
In Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and
on to the coast, wherever irrigation has
been tried, it has paid more than hun.
dred fold. Barren lands have beer
made productive, and more than double
in value. The redemption Kansas
needs is the conversion of the barren
plains of the western part of the stats
into productive farms. 1t is one of the
finest states in the Union, and will be
come one of the richest, when mar
avails himself of the means Provi
dence has provided to make it certain
crop producer every year.-K. G. Times
