Warren Fisk on Monday purchased
of F. M. Gilmore eighty acres Of land
on the school section 10 this township
George Beckley. Mr.. Fisk now has q
tract of land in that locality Of over 200
acres, as we'll as a forty acre piece near
by, known as the Treesh forty. The
price paid for the land was close to $50
per acre. This purchase of Mr.. Fisk
illustrates very forcibly what economy
and good habits will bring to any man.
Mr.. Fisk's life and business career is q
good illustration OF the old adage that
economy is the road to wealth." Ten
years or more ago. He met with
losses which made him practically PEN
niless, but while it wal discouraging
he possessed the grit and endurance to
keep on peggiug until now he has the
basis for forming M Of the finest
farms in the county. He attended to
his business duties first at his butcher
shop, then at his feed store, with q per-
sistency which has won him a nest egg
for q fortune. Early at morn, rain or
shine, Warren Fisk was always found,
and al still be found, at his place OF
business. Uniformly honorable In his
business deals, and ever alert for bar
gains and honest work, he has won
where other men would have utterly
failed. What he has done other men
can do, and it is q safe guide through
life to have for q maxim, Everlasting
persistency, good habits, and economy"
and by so doing pluck from Dame For
tunes lap a few choice plumes.

The chief of police of Emlenton
recently cooped fifteen tramps in the
lookup. In the morning they were
given the liberty of the town and told
to hunt themselves something to eat,
They skirmished around and were
soon filled up with victuals and bug
iuice. The average tramp likes a
LIQUID Observation-Disclosures. If
the tramp was made to travel on an
empty stomach, he would not follow
the business of tramping very long.
1t appears to be serious question
of how to remedy the tramp evil.
Stop feeding them and you solve 1t.
Every one who feeds these lazy lag
CARDS, assists in filling this country
with an army of men and boys, who
soon learn that they are not compelled
to work for living, but that they can
live off those who do work Refuse
them victuals and they will be com
PEELED to seek an honest living or go
to the Poor House in case they are
unable to work. Most men have
enough to support under their own
roofs without feeding a lot lazy vag-
abonds, who prowl over the country
living off of others. Shut off the grub
and you will not be pestered with the
evil.

A Change Called For.

There is no question but that the
professionalism OF the normal schools
has been too empirical, too much In
clined to be philosophical, altogether
too little scientific. 1t is equally
true that the new professionalism is
right in turning from the empirical
and philosophical to the scientific.
1t must, in the nature of the case,
develop some grand principles OF ped
agogical activity, but it is wholly I'M
scientific to denounce that which
works well when 1t should be discov-
ering something that will work bet

A Detroit Report.

A committee composed of the
principals of the Detroit schools
have reported upon the modifica-
lions needed in the course of study,
and their report has been publish
ed, in which is found the follow
ing reference to correlation.
"Your committee also believes
that steady progress has been
made in the schools by a more
thorough organization of the work.
Much time is saved by teaching
the different subjects in their true
relation. But while your commit
tee believes in further correlation,
we should deplore the unifcation
of the work to such an extent. if
such be possible, that any study
should be so far merged in the
whole as to lose its value as a
means of discipline, or as to de-
tract from the power to be gained
by its pursuit, and become a mere
means of acquiring information

National characteristics.

There are three distinct classes
of opinion = to-wit English,
French, and German intellect.
Being English, we are naturally
inclined to think that there is
considerable force in a story told
by Bishop Creighton in his lecture
on "The English National Charac-
ter" which has been separately
printed. DR.. Creighton mentions
what he had been told of the char
acteristics of the three different
nationalities at a technical college
on the continent, when the stu
dents had to solve a practical
problem in the workshops: "The
German took out a note book, and
immersed himself in long calcula-
tions. The Frenchman walked
about, and INDUCED from time to
time in ingenious and often brill
liant suggestions. The English
man looked out of the window and
whistled for awhile; then he turn
ed around and did the problem
while the others were still think
ing about it." 1t would be pleas
ant to know that the whistling
Englishman had got out a correct
solution.-London, Eng. Educa-
tional Times.
