The Educational Ideal.

Our present system of elementary
education does not rise to the moral
requirements of the age; it stands too
largely for the development of the
memory for the purpose of mere money
making. to the neglect of the nobler
spiritual qualities, says Hezekiah But
terworth, in December Review of Re-
views. 1t too often leaves out the cul-
tivation of the heart and the training
of the hand, the quickening of the con-
science and the growth of the moral
perception. Such system is not edu-
cation in any large sense; it is what
PestaloZzi called ''mere instruction. -
The education that makes character.
individual and national, begins with
the heart, the conscience, and the
Imagination. The storing of the men,
ory with facts is a tool-shop more es-
sential to the making of living than
the learning how to live, which is life's
higher purpose. "We create life through
ideals,' taught Pestalozzi. "We learn
by DOING" said Froebel. And both
agreed that life must be taught from
life. or by example. and that the indiv-
idual gift OF the pupil was 'sacred to
the teacher" and that each pupil must
be developed after his own gift as
though there were no other pupils like
him, or gift like his, in the world. The
old-time New England school dame,
whipping the. dates of the reigns of
Roman emperors into tive-year-old
brains, formed no part of the grand
Pestalczzian vision. "Education stands
for character" said Pestalozzi; our ma
tional education is defective in the
power of this fundamental principles; a
reconstruction of education must come
in this country, and the best methods
of character education be made univer-
sal or else we must suffer deteriora.
tion. A heart that responds to justice
is the first lesson of life, and the ideal
or gift of the pupil must be studied by
the teacher before the pupil is put to
memorizing textbooks, which is in
struction.

From the football '.item''in the Rapid
City Journal one would get the i'm
preston that the players of that city
are rejoicing because our captain and
theirs failed to agree on a date for a
game this year. They found out last
year that we could play we'll and this
year they say we can 'funk WE'LL" Let
us see. Our captain and manager have
been trying to arrange couple of
games with two of the northern Hills
teams and, pending the completing of
arrangements, asked the captain ofthe
Rapid team if they could not arrange
game at later date than Thanks
giving as at least one of the upper
Hills teams would not play at SO early
a date and they wished to play the
series on the same trip. In the letter
they stated that this would bring the
game out of the usual football season
but thought their reasons for asking il
sufficiently good ones. However, the
Rapid captain thought this a suitable
time to show his wonderful ability at
blufting and at once telegraphed our
captain that he had made arrange
ments for the game to come off ON
Thanksgiving. Weas promptly replied
that we would not be there and here
the matter dropped until they began
to work off their surplus enthusiasm
in the Journal. Neither our captain
nor our manager ever agreed to play a
return game at Rapid this year. altho'
both hoped to arrange such a game.
Our team is much stronger than last
year and all lament that it will not
measure strength with the team that
is so good at bluffing.

Effect of the Late Storm on Range stock
In and Around the Hills.

In aud \ ArOtutl the Hills,
A Pierre special of the 10Th ult says:
A. C. Binnie, a cattle buyer of Aeta, Ia,
was out on the Cheyenne river all
through the late blizzard. and came
across sixty miles of the range country
yesterday. He thinks the loss will be
light if there was any. The cattle he
saw on his trip in were all right, but
had driftcd into gulches and draws.
Cattle are i'll good shape to stand the
storm, and what damage has resulted
is i'll the way of covering up food and
making it hard for stock during the
rest of the winter
A Chamberlain correspondent writ.
ing under date of Nov. %, says: The
ranchmen on Bad river are very much
alarmed over the prospect of an un-
usually severe winter, and many of
them are rounding up all their young
stock aud selling them for feeders
Ansccr Hague had 300 head of cattle
at his ranch and was feeding them hay

swept away with them. Andrew Will

and temporary camp on the head of

predicament.
Late reports from the northern Hills
arc to the effect that statements sent
out from Pierre, Chamberlain and other

accounts of great mortality among
cattle on the northern ranges as a re-
