Education of Children.

Every worthy and careful parent takes
pride in the education of his child. This
is a wise and commendabls custom that
10 not only confined to special localities,
but il rs true OF the entire country. The
parent, even IN the most remote dis
tricts, makes a strong endeavor to edu-
cate his children 10 order that they may
have higher ideas OF life, therefore rich
er enjoyments. This is wise, it is praise
worthy. Our district schools are very
we'll attended and the ability OF the
country teacher has largely increased
during the decade. The colleges and
universities, OF north, are very well
patronized. and the work they are ac'
complishing is above question, and, the
worth the country derives therefrem,
cannot be computed. Yet, after all,
there is still room for some improve
ment. 1t would be wIse il every patron
would consider the Importance OF sdu-
eating the hand as well as the head. IL
is equally important that the young
lady be taught how to care the for home,
prepare the meal and the arrangement
OF all home affairs, as it is that she be
proficient at the piano, the easel and as
an entertainer in the parlor or the din
ing room. 1t is as necessary for the
young man to know how to plow, SOW
the seed and care for the harvest, as it is
for him to know how to compute inter
est, translate Virgil or Xenophon. The
young man in business or in any profes
sion should not be stranger to, at least
some OF the lesser vocations Of life. II
is no discredit to plow; it is no dishonor
to labor in any worthy vocation. Thou
sands of parents are sacrificing every
day in order that their children gam may
liberal education. They do not educate
them with the hope they will be priv,
ileged to live an easy life. They know
there Is no easy way to fortune or tc
fame. Again, educate tine hand as vel
as the head. Labor Is honorable; il il
the life element of all republics and al

The Creamery a Go.

Peter Christen and j. d. Ahrens,
who were appointed as committee to
investigate the creamery business, re-
turned from their Illinois trip last Fri
day morning. They we're favorably i'm
pressed with the business, and SO re.
ported. >,
A meeting of the directors was held
in the opera house Saturday morning
and it was unanimously decided to
build the creamery at once.
A locating committee was appointed
and they selected location on Mr.
Walters land just outside the town
limits. and we believe the selection a
good one; in fact, it appears to be the
most convenient place that could haye
been selected.
The building contractor was here
Tuesday and made arrangements for the
material for the construction OF the
building, and work will begin at once.
The contractor proposes to have the
building completed by August 18TH

Road Making in England

EDIToRs SENTINEL:-Not long ago
noticed an article in your p8per-ln re-
gard to "Good Roads in England" 1t
stated that the reason they had good
roads in England was because there
were men standing with load OF rock
ready to throw into washouts at any
time. l beg TO differ with Mr.. Good
Roads in England, knowing the way
roads are worked in that country. The
reason they have good roads in England
is because they are worked by contract.
The rock is hauled by the yard; the rock
is broken by the yard; the rock is paid
for by the yard; the rock when spread
upon the roadway is paid by the yard.
The hedges on each side of the road is
trimmed by the rod or mile, 30 you will
see that there is competition in all road
work in England, aud until this system
is introduced In this state, We will never
have good roads at a reasonable expendi-
ture.
Here is the way roads were worked in
England twenty-five years ago. Every
hamlet, which is about the same as eur
school districts, was a road district; road
overseers were appointed every year or
two, and there was no uniform system.
This was changed and practical road
maker was selected and given in charge
OF some SO of the former road districts
and he proceeded to let out the working
OF the roads in his territory by contract
and of course it brought into competi
tion the very best road making talent
This resulted in getting the very bes'
roads for the least possible money
What we need most IN our system, ls
permanency in work-bridges that will
not rot down in two or three years; cnl
verts that will last more than ninety
days. LooKER-ON.
Elm Grove, No., July %, 1897.
We hope to hear from Looker-Or
again upon this subject; that he will tel
us how the revenue is secured TO bullC
the roads in England; whether they are
located as the land owners want, or ars
they surveyed and grades established
by the public officlals.-ED's.

Iowa School RAforfma.

w. H. Monroe, writing to the Chica-
60 Record from Dexter, Iowa, gives the
following account OF how they have i'm
proved the schools out there:
"While the members OF the committee
OF twelve appointed at the Denver meet
ing Of the National Educational associs-
ton to make report to the Milwaukee
meeting respecting rural schools. were
sitting in their Offices specializing on
what to offer. the school authorities Of
the little city Of Dexter, Iowa, were put
ting into actual practice some Of the
reforms which the committee finally ad-
vocated. Dexter has in successful opera
tion two plane for the advancement Of
rural pupils, the first Of which can be
used by every town and small city, and
the second by at least one in each coun-
ty. The first plan provides for the at
tendance OF pupils Of rural districts at
the Dexter public school. Dexter has
demonstrated that these rural districts
can send their pupils to school IN town
with less expense and greater regular
ity in attendance and efficiency in work
than can be- possible by maintaining
district schools. A contract ia entered
into between the Dexter district board
and that OF the rural district Wishing to
send to Dexter. specifying the amount
Of tuition to be paid, the manner OF pay
ing, etc. The pupils are taken to and
from school IN covered coach, 20 that
pupils residing two and thres miles from
town reach the school in better condi-
ton for days study il the morning
prove rainy or snowy than pupils who
have walked three or four blocks in
town. The new school Law provides that
districts may employ persons to carry
the pupils TO and from school aud pay
for the transport stiou from the contiu.
gent fund. This feature will only in.
crease the popularity OF the Dexter
plan, which has many points in its favor
over the township plan. The second
plan OF which Dexter has made mark.
ed success is one that afiords additional
advantages to the older pupils Of the
county or the community. Instead OF
maintaining simply high school course,
Dexter provides also for q normal
course, course in business training,
music, slocutisD, shorthand, stc. The
cost Of such school il very much great
sr than that of high school since il 10.
qu,res thoroughly efficient, as well No
special teachers. But the increased
expense is met by outside tuition, a. the
attendance Of non residents 10 great
when the school is under able and wide.
awake conductors. This Kind Of school
affords all the young people within q
radius OF twenty five " forty miles an
inexpensive, but efficient, secondary sdu-
cation. OF course, this class Of schools
cannot bs maintained in every town, as
each school should hays ut least one
county as its territory. But It is a great
advantage to the rural youth, who can
20 to town to school four or six months
each winter and pursue any kind Of
study which he INA, desire. Both ths
plans tried at Dexter are receiving the
lndorsement Of able school men,"
