battles. The formative influence of
the great, the true, and the good, on
the imagination of the young, is great.
The study OF history should begin
when the child enters school. 1t
should take the form of story and
biography. The school should cult
vate taste for good reading and
inspire the child's subsequent intellect
ual life. Manual training is also an
important part OF school work. 1t
was not needed in early times when
every small household was work
shop. Especially is it the duty of the
public school in democracy to dis
cover and develop the gift or capacity
of each child. 1t must be discovered
early and trained assiduously. Draw
ing and music should be taught The
artistic sense must be cultivated. 1t
may be objected that the masses must
earn their living by the sweat of their
brow, and there is no time for such
an education as this ideal calls for.
The answer is "Seek we first the
kingdom of God, and all these
lesser things shall be added unto
YOU" - the greater includes the
less. The most important function
of the school is to train in moral
character. This is fundamental in a
republic. What tremendous RESPONSE
bility for the teacher The teachers
should be what they would have their
pupils become, through the power of
sympathy and the power of associa-
ton. Teaching is spiritual process;
contact of mind with mind, heart
with heart. Love of knowledge on the
part of the teacher will inspire the
pupil to love knowledge. Telling
imparting knowledge-is the smallest
part of the teachers work.

happy knack in coming to the point.
Here, for example, is story from the
Boston Herald:
Dan and Nose, neither of them noted
for erudition, We're partners in an enter
prise which it is needless to specify.
One morning customer called to settle
small bill and after handing over the
money asked for receipt.
Nose retired to the privacy of an
inner room and after long delay re-
turned with n slip of paper, on which
were written these words:

All the foregoing figures relate 10 dis
tribution within the State of Califor-
MIA. Distribution is not undertaken
beyond State lines, except in exchange
for material desired by us.
The importance of the service rem
dered to this distribution by the out
lying culture stations of the University
IS being more clearly demonstrated each
year. The seed product of the Gar
den of Economic Plants at Berkeley is
being notably supplemented by the pro-
duct of the stations at Pomona, Santa
Monica, Chico and Tulare. In this, as
we'll as in other respects, the anticipa-
tion of advantage in having local es-
adjustments representing the diverse
conditions of soil and climate in differ
ent parts Of California is being realized.
AIMS AND METHODS OF DISTRI-
BUTTON.
To reduce as much as practicable the
vast amount of correspondence which
is entailed upon the station by the dis
tribution, we desire that the following g
points should be carefully considered
by all applicants:
First-Do not apply for things not
mentioned in this bulletin. We cannot
usually supply things previously offered
for distribution. Do not apply for COM
mon garden seeds, fruit trees, or orna-
mentals, which can be purchased at
seed stores or nurseries. We cannot
supply them.
Second-Do not make general re-
quest for anything which will do in
this locality" Apply specifically for
what interests you, or may prove of
value to you.
Third-We require the applicant to
pay a small amount for each thing re-
ceived, partly to bear the cost of col
lection and distribution but chiefly as
a guaranty that he has not merely an
idle desire for what can be had for
nothing, but intends to make trial for
definite end and will report results to
us.
neutrality-suspicious. may be made
for one or more kinds of seeds, but an
applicant should not order more than
one package of kind. If the supply
of any kind of seed becomes exhausted
the money will be returned, unless a
second choice is mentioned by the send
er. Postal notes are requested instead
of stamps, whenever practicable. Any
surplus left after filling orders will, as
far as possible, be returned to the send
ers, deducting letter postage.
TREES AND SHRUBS.
Tree seedlings can be easily grown
An seed boxes of sandy loan, kept warm
and moist, but not wet. Cover the
seed lightly and partly shade to pre-
vent surface drying. Tagasaste seed
can be handled in the same way, but it
should be soaked over night in hot
water before sowing. Seed in packets,
by mail (postpaid); five cents for each
variety ordered.

The drought of 1878 seriously in

and many who did apply found condi-

DEATH OF MORALES.
Notorious Revolutionist Dies
on Way to Prison.
CLOSE OF A PICTURESQUE CAREER

For Many Years-IndefatigabIe Pro-
moter of Plots-Laid ConsuIs
Under Tribute.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. - United
States Minister Hunter of Guatemala
cables the state department that Cen
eral Morales, leader Of the revolution,
was captured in a cave on "Wednesday
and died on his way to prison at san
Sebastian
The tragic end of General Morales, as
reported to the state department, is but
the last Of the series of stirring events
which have occurred in Guatemala with
In the last two weeks. Morales gathered
together a good sized band along the
Mexican border and made his appear
ance at the large town OF Ocos. Here he
inaugurated reign Of terror. He seized
many thousand bags of coffee and put
them to the strange use of building
breastworks for his revolutionary band.
Sorties were made along the harbor
front and launches and other craft burn
ed and destroyed. One Of the most au-
dacious acts was the laying tribute up
on the United States consul and other
consular officers there in the sum of
81 800
The condition of affairs has been re-
ported to the state department from
time to time, and efforts were made, in
conjunction with the Mexican authori-
\ ties, to put an end to the depredations.
There was some delay, however, owing
& to the death of the Mexican minister's
4 wife and his consequent absence from
y Washington. Ordinarily the United
N States is represented in Guatemalan
& waters by warship. but owing to the
q war with Spain all our ships have been
81 required elsewhere. 1t is for this rea-
B son probably that the foreign represent
'. a Qf
81 States, united in asking the aid Of the
"a British naval commander at Ocos. This
has proved effective, according to the
"a report Just received from Minister Hunt
b er, as the revolution is ended with the
81 capture and death of General Morales.
Prospero Morales had been a conspic-
vi uous figure I'm Central American affairs
NJ during the last three years. He was
minister of war in the cabinet of Presi-
81 dent Barrios, and IT is said that he used
81 the war office to foment the rebellion
against Barrios The latter detected the
plot and Morales fled to Mexico, where
he organized his revolutionary band. In
al the meantime Barrios was assassnated,

H would ultimately lead to the success OF
