Should there be eight or nine years
IN the elementary course? And how
many wears in the high school? Nearly
all high schools represented nave four
years course; and a number of cities
heve nine years elementary course.
Several of those having such a nine
years course seemed to be changing to
eight years, and facts were brought cut
to show that eight years is sufficient.
For instance, a year is gained in the
average age at Buffalo in the interme-
diate grades. The fact was not stated
but is nevertheless true, that the first
grade of primary work without the
kindergarten in this state, where pupils
are admitted at five years, appears to
take nearly two years on the average.
City statistics will usually show the av-
erage age Of the first wear to be some
thing over six years, and Of the second
about eight years. Where pupils are
not admitted to the first grade until the
age of six they finish the course at fully
as early an average age; and this sug
gests that there must be waste of en-
ergy somewhere in that first year, even
taking into account the greater proper
ton Of absence

In another column of this issue will
be found an article from Geo. l.. Williams
in which he takes exceptions to a small
paragraph published BY US in recent
issue in reply TO one that appeared the
week before in the Centralia Enterprise.
There is nothing in his argument which
proves our statement incorrect. We
leave our readers to Judge for them
selves. This week We have taken pains
to search the record with the help of
the county officers here and in Wausau
and find the following costs paid and to
be paid by the county in the Lord and
Emery murder case. There are some
small items paid that do not enter into
the following list, but we were unable to
find them, yet the bills we did find foot
up to sd ,23S %. The motion for new
trial will add to this already large sum
We append the list:

American humor builds much on ex-
aggeration. The following is a rich
specimen from western mine. AS it
mentions a schoolma'am it ought to find
place in this column:
NEBRASKA SCHOoLMA'AM.
a Nebraska editor visited the village
school and was greatly impressed with
the schOolma' am. On reaching his sane
tum he penned the following of her:
''She is the pride of the town, the star
of the west, the mother Of invention
and jewel of rare briIliancy. She drew
picture of an iceberg on the black
board. 1t was so natural that the Their
mometer froze up solid. With rare
presence of mind she seized a crayon
and drew fire place on the opposite
wall. The prompt action saved the
school, but they all caught cold from
the sudden change.-Fond du Lac

GUY STANTON FORD, Editor.

The man who grumbles always has
the public ear. Satisfaction and silence
are almost synonymous.
-
1t is human nature to relieve our
minds by saying disagreeable things to
those who are nearest and dearest. 1t
is also human nature and especially
American human nature to regard tax
alton as the worst of necessary evils
and to lay any increase in taxes at the
door of the most prominent and unde-
Tended interest even though it be the
nearest to our hearts. Consequently
the idea goes abroad at once that the
cause of our recent high taxes comes
from new school building or the hir-
ing of a new teacher. The greatest
thing in favor of making such unwar-
ranted statements is that teachers and
directors are comparatively few IN num-
Der and too busy at important work
every hour of the day to find time to
make plain to the grumblers the unrea-
sonableness of their statements So as
there is nothing more satisfactory than
having things 60 your own way, harp
ing on the expensiveness of public
schools becomes a mania with some
taxpayers. That the schools suffer by
this is certain and it is partly our own
fault in not supplying the data that
would make the matter plain. This the
editor will try to do either next week
Or in the succeeding issue of the RE-
PORTER.

As to the comparative value of the
poor teacher and the good teacher the
following quotation is the best thing we
have seen for some time. 1t is from
the pen of John S. Roeseler, Prairie du
Sac, Wisconsin,:
Good teachers deserve liberal wages
Poor teachers are dear at any price
| would not have q poorly qualified
teacher teach my children even if she
agreed to do it for nothing, no, not even
if she were willing to pay me money
for letting her get the practice. | hold
the minds of my children too sacred to
allow them to be experimental upon
by bunglers. [ know too we'll that it
will dwarf theii minds, give them dis
taste for proper study, and fix bad hab
Its that lifetime of proper teaching
cannot eradicate. I would not place a
costly watch for repair in the hands of
an unskilled every day laborer, much
less the mind of my child, the most
complicated machine, possibly, in the
hands of an unskilled teacher who
knows little Or nothing of the workings
OF the human mind"

IMPROVEMENTS.
Pine Bluff Property Holders Continue to Improve Thelr Premises and Beautify Their Homes
 and Business Houses.

Improvement of private premises and business houses in Pine Bluff continues at a rapid rate. Just now the chief desire of our citizens seems to be to beautify their homes or improve their business houses. This shows the pride our people have in their homes and argues well for our citizens.
 The GRAPHIC last week published a listof some of the Improvement ts in progress. In addition to those previously mentioned, we have learned of the following.
 Mf. M. E. Bloom is giving his res idence on West 9th avenue a new coat of paint.
 Mr. Isaac Dreyfus is having the exterior of his business house re- painted-y yellow with black urim- mings.
 The Hotel Trulock is receiving a fresh coat of paint-orange color with brown trimmings which greatly improves it's appearance.

A PECULIAR FACT.
Thousands of People Have Dyspepsia m
 Its Worst Form and Do Not Know It.

A weak stomach is the cause of about nine-tenths of all disease, yet in most cases the wrong thing is treated and the true cause overlook ed.
 This is because a weak digestion produces sy ymptoms resembling near ly every disease because it weakens and disturbs the action of every nerve and organ in the body; poor digestion causes heart trouble, kid- ney troubles, lung weakness and es- peciaily nervous break down or ner- vOus prostration, the nerves cannot stand the wear and tear unless gen erously fed by we'll digested, whole some food.
 Keep the digestion good and no one need fear the approach Ot dis ease.
 Mrs. H. M. Lee, of Rochester, N. r., writes: For the sake of suffering hu- manity 1 want to say that from a threw up my food very often after eating and after a few years nervous dyspepsia resulted and formore than twenty years l have suffered inex- pressibly.
