HAsTY sCH0OLnoYs.

Hickory County, Mo, ought to be a
paradise for school teachers, but it is
not; that is, not exactly, though Mr..
Allen, the late instructor at the town
of Wheatland, found it a sort of an
ante-room to the celestial regions. The
truth is that the case of Mr. Allen
proves that the cause of higher educa-
ton in Hickory county is struggling
along under difficulties that are not
encountered in more effete regions Mr.
Allen, as matter of discipline, keeps
a few of his pupils after school, ac-
cording to time-honored custom. The
boys, not recognizing that their kind
teacher was trying to do them good
waited around for him when they were
released and fractured his skull with
stones and clubs. Mr.. Allen is in the
cemetery and the boys are in Jail, and
the cause Of education just at present
is languishing.
Viewed from an impartial stand
point, the action of the boys seems to
have been hasty. If a teacher is to be
beaten to death for keeping his pupils
after school, other punishments must
be out of proportion. Supposing a
teacher sees fit to apply the rod, what
is to be done then? 1t will be seen at
once that anything within the range
of schoolboy possibilities is Inadequate
Moderation in all things is a virtue,
and the boys of Hickory county by
their thoughtlessness have given the
little red school house a solar plexus
blow If the primary school is to re-
main feature of the life Of the rural
districts, the supply of teachers must
be conserved. Boys kept after school
can revenge themselves by sticking out
their tongues at the teacher behind
! his back or by putting bent pins in his
chair. They will be just as happy and
the teacher will last longer.

hearsals will be conducted under the direc-
ton OF j. Edgar Owen, an actor of known
ability.

The slip accompanying the notice, OF
which the above is a copy, stated that
the student was conditioned in higher
algebra and geometry. Inquiry at the
university shows that forty-seven grad
yates of our high schools entered this
year in the various courses, and that
thirty-one are conditioned in algebra
or geometry, or both. Although the
diplomas received by them on gradu-
alton recited that they had pursued
the preparatory course in the high
schools, it appears that eighteen of
these thirty-one had not taken a COM
plete course in either study, and thir-
teen had taken one or the other, but
not both, and were conditioned in the
missing study. Further inquiry elicits
the fact that students in the high
tute for algebra or geometry other
studies considered as an equivalent"
such, for instance, as drawing, a
change that, very evidently, is not rec
ognized at the university We under
stand that this has been permitted in
cases where the student contemplated
entrance in some college whose stand
ard of admission was less rigid than at
the university, or where this equiv
alency was recognized.
If we understand correctly the pur-
pose of the high school system, it is
primarily to furnish the connecting link
between the grade schools. of the state
and the university. The preparatory
course is supposed to be such as is
prescribed for that purpose. Upon COM
pliance with the directions of the
board the high school is entitled to the
state apportionment and not other
wise. 1t is. of course, competent for
the board of trustees of any high school
to adopt any other course or to make
changes in it, but, if they do, the school
cannot receive the aid given by the
state. In addition it's graduates can
not be received into the university I'M
less upon conditions. To meet the ne
cessities of that larger number of pu-
pills who must end their school educa-
ton with graduation from the high
school, other courses are provided; but
it seems clear that where students in
tend to enter the university it is neither
fair to them nor helpful to the reputa-
ton of the schools to permit the sub
stitution of equivalents or deviations
from the course prescribed by the state
high school board. The result of these
departures is the awkward predicament
in which these young people find them
selves, and, whatever the conditions
that produced it, they should be i'm
mediately corrected.
