complete set of wisdom teeth When
Mr.. Dole desired to be a president he
did not waste his time kissing babies
and speaking at county fairs, but went
out into the wide world until he found
a little country that suited him, and
then quietly assimilated it, Now that
he is seeking annexation with the
United States, he is following the same
method.
Most men in Mr.. Dole's position
would have been carried away with the
idea of being the guest of $4,000 coo

Variations From the Normal.

In theory a normal school Is limited
in the art and science of pedagogy, just
as the law and medical departments Of
the university give instruction in their
branches. 1t is, or should be, presum-
ed that students come to the normalS
as they go to the law or medical
schools, with all the preliminary quail
fications of knowledge obtained in the
schools. With the foundation already
in they would go to build the super
structure OF professional knowledge.
AS the university examines those who
liminary studies and knowledge are
sufficient: as the military and naval
academies test applicants, so the nor
NAL should, in theory, require certain
educational standing as a prerequisite
to admission. It's function is not to
teach, so much as to teach how to
teach.
There was an early variation in this
state from theory. The number who
wished to qualify themselves for teach
ing as a profession was inadequate to
the demand, and the desire to secure a
state institution is common. SO there
was added to the curriculum studies
for a preparatory department where
students were taught what they should
have acquired in the common schools.
In effect these gave to the towns where
high school supported by the state. The
process Of expansion next spread out
to create a model" branch, which was
practically a grammar school, for
pupils of the town, again at the states
cost, where they We're taught in the
studies of the courses of the grades by
students Of the normal taking the ad-
vanced course, in order to give the lat
ter drill in the practice as we'll as the
theory of teaching. The effect Of these
departures from or variations of the
theoretical purpose of normal schools
is shown by the following statement
Of the numbers in the advanced course,
those in the elementary or preparatory.
and those in the model departments of
the four normal schools Of the state in
1895.

private? Not at all. Did he order out
the Hawaiian admiral and the dug-out
canoe navy? Nothing of the sort. That
is not the way Of diplomacy in these
degenerate days. When lobbyists go
to Washington to induce congress to
pass a little bill that will benefit the
plain people, do they have brass bands
and body guards with red boots and
blue jackets? Not any more; and Mr..
Dole has taken a leaf from the books
of men who know their business.
This is not to imply that Mr.. Dole
IS in this country to exert undue in

The Schoolmaster Abroad.

Soon after the accession of Mayor
Van Wyck to the chiefship of the gov
eminent Of the second city Of the
world he administered to the board of
school commissioners of that CITY a
roast for their Indifference to local
interests in engaging teachers from
places other than the borough of Man
haitian. They had actually gone to the
cities Of the West to find principals
for their schools, an act of disloyalty
that reused the ire Of this descendant

Our School aof Fine Arts.


st. Paul has a school of fine arts
whose past work has been so far above
the average Of Institutions of this kind,
and whose usefulness is so hampered
ana limited by itsainadequate support,
that it should be the pleasure, rather
than the duty, of all our people who
love culture and believe in it to come
to It's assistance: In our news columns
this morning will be found a detailed
description of the st. Paul school of
fine arts it's work. its standing and it's
neeas. 1t will be surprise, probably.
to most Of our people, even to many
who appreciate. art and art work, to
know how much, has been accomplished
in a quiet way, by enthusiasm and
personal devotion, with the use of slen-
der means.
The institution, which now has sixty
pupils, is only in its fourth year of
work In that short time 1t has done
wonders. and has proved that it's power
to accomplish is, as great as its. stand
ard Is high. It's pupils have gone to
classes and studios in the great art
centers and taken high rank; and this
shows that the ideals and the instruc-
ton entering into their preparation are
OF the best. 1t is purely a labor of love
that the women of st. Paul have under
taken and carried to this gratifying
measure Of success.
The school of the fine arts
mas no liked or sufficient reve-
nue.. The tuition charge does not meet
the cost Of maintenance. By a small
subscription from generous patrons the
balance has been eked out, but the ex-
1stence of the institution is a precarious
ana necessitous one. This is
not a pretentious and costly affair
such as the art Institutes of
great cities. 1t will surprise the nub1fc
to know that, if the ladies who have
gone into this work with such whole
hearted interest and who have achieved
so much success. could be assured of
a fixed revenue of only 81, 900 or 81 200 q
year, they would feel that the future
was secure. III.
Is 1t not possible that there are
enough art lovers in st. Paul, enough
people who have felt the ennobling in
fuence of art in their own lives. and
who appreciate the beauty and the
worth Of opening that world to others
to place our local school of fine arts
once for ali upon a firm basis? All that
Is desired now is to secure the funds
necessary to continue the instruction
given. 1t seems toaus that this is a too
modest demand. and that the admitted
refinement and culture of the people of
St Paul, with their active interest in
art, ought to establish permanent1v q
financial fund for our art school. and
enable 1t to extend generously the
work that it has begun so we'll.

but one can now begin to understand
the mental operations by which one OF
the dispensers of Panama Doodle, Dr.
Cornelius Herr. can reach the conclu-
sion that he was injured in body and
reputation to the extent of five million
dollars by the efforts to bring him be-
fore the bar Of French justice This
sum he asksssUncts Sam to collect for
him by virtue of his neglected and
long forgotten birth in this country. It

Mr.. Raphael said the California wines
were finding market now in MANY ~
the foreign countries. Last year the
production Of the Italian-SWiss COLONY,
was 100000 gallons of dry and sweet
wines. Besides these there were thou
sands of other concerns engaged in the
same business to greater or less de-
gree. The Swiss company had 1000
acres under vine and its last years
harvest yielded them 10000 tons Of the
Vineyard fruit. The price of wines
had been firm, although sweet wines
had been little lower, if anything,
this year. There was a good demand
for old wines and values were some
what inflated in the dry" goods.

Montana, was in the city yesterday

It is quite clear that, were the require
ments for admission to the normals
confined to those who had previously
qualified themselves in other schools,
and who went to the normals to receive
instruction in pedagogy simply. the
whole number attending the four

than 200. These facts should suggest
the propriety Of return to the original
theory Of normal schools before their
number is increased.

he doesn't own a hoof Of stock, but that
makes no difference, he is, nevertheless,
right in his element among the cattle kings
