The Rural school Problem.
OF late years the output of teachers
has been so great that they have been
glad to teach not only in high and
grade. but in country schools Some
have called this an overproduction. and

that the teacher of whatever school
cannot have too good training There
is a one-year course for those who
but only dozen took it last year. and
the certificate carrying no legal sane

NAL graduates get places in high
schools, though state university gradu-
ates are given the preference for these
places. An excellent training for a
teacher makes full course at White
water or other normal. supplemented
by the last two years at Madison. Grad
yates of high schools can enter the
normal at junior year. The average
age of students entering at the White
water normal is from 10 to 20. 1t will
soon be that half of newcomers are
graduates of high schools. Indeed, at
the Milwaukee normal only such are
admitted to the course.
The atmosphere at the Whitewater
school is pleasing. Things are clean,
bright and cheerful. and harmony OBJ

A City In Which a Rival Is Not Held In
Great Esteem.
As is generally known, it is a pun
ishable offense in the state of New York
for any person to attempt to take his
life, although it is not so if the attempt
be successful-which makes self murder
somewhat different legally from the
other kind. AS is also very generally
known, New York, individually and
collectively, is disposed TO forever point
the finger of scorn 1T her large and
growing neighbor, Philadelphia.
Net long ago a prisoner was before a
New York judge charged with attempt
ed suicide, and the judge, being a man
who lived on Easy street, where it was
sunny i'll winter and shady in summer,
frowned fercely on the culprit because
he couldn't understand how any man
would want to quit this life until he
was forced to do SO.
Your honor, pleaded the culprit,
locking into the frowning face of JUS
tice, there were mitigating circum-
stances.
The judge frowned moro fiercely at
the thought of offering an excuse for
such a crime and said nothing.
"But there were, your honor, y insist

There is in the city Of Memphis q

Ldppened that Andrew Johnson and his
opponent for the United States senate,
Gus Henry, were 70 meet III joint de-
bate in this precinct. The evening came,
and hundreds Of blue Irish eyes were on
the two speakers as they assembled the
rostrum. Henry opened, and as a bid
for the Irish vote he told in whitening
terms how johnson, when in congress
before, had voted against a bill for an
appropriation TO assist Ireland during a
time of famine. He himself bad done
yeoman work for the passage of the bill,
while this other man, who was now
asking their support, had done every
thing possible to defeat it. 1t was a fine
point, and the speaker made the most
Of it, burning before il the lamp of his
eloquence until the crowd were wild
with excitement, Then Henry sat down,
and johnson got up amid catcalls and
SCOTS TO answer him.
What my opponent has told you is
true, " he said. ireland was suffering,
and ] voted against an appropriation for
her relief, for the money which it was

away yours. Now, gentlemen, which of

The c~atcalls were now for Henry and
