.CENTERVlLLE AND ELK FORK
SEVERAL
SOUTHWEST FIELDS.

VI =. .
Only one new feature In The field de-
velopmcnts has TRANSFERRED during the
last week, The southwest, as usual, Is
responsible for this, but Il Is not OF
great moment. This strike ID located III
Tyler county, near Centervllle, on the
Meredith farm. and is the property OF
the South Penn OIL Company, says the
Leader on Review. The production Of
the new find for the first twen.y-four
hours was officially reported at one
hundred and fifty barrels, but at this
writing has declined TO one hundred
barrels a day. The same company drill
ed No. on the Meredith farm conc
time ago. and which Is still producing
from fortp 10 fifty barrels q day. From
the showing OF their first venture the
company were more than ever Impress
cd with the idea that bigger wells
abounded In the territory, and at once
commenced drilling No. 2 TO test their
theory, which resulted as above stated.
The South Penn people have located
several more wells in this locality and
have already started one or two rigs,
and in Il very short time will have the
drill bouncing. Other operators, as re-
suit OF the South PENIS last achieve
mcnt, are starting some new work.
Among the most prominent and success
full operators in the southwest, the new
developments in Tyler county are be-
ing discussed with much interest. The
question arises whether Centrcville will
turn out on Elk Fork. Upon this sub
ject there seems 10 be a difference OF
opinion. A majority, however, think
that Centrcville will in no way become
II counterpart Of the, noted Elk Fork
pool.

CONGRATULATIONS MISPLACED

There seems to be a disposition on
the part of citizens of St Paul to con-
graduate themselves and commiserate
our sister city over school conditions.
Some of these same citizens have
even gone so far as to extend congrat-
ulations to their teachers, whose pres
ent state is assumed, with charming
naivete, to be superior to that of their
Minneapolis professional co-laborers
1t may surprise these citizens to know
the facts in the case. The Eighth grade
teacher receiving the maximum salary
In Minneapolis closed her work April
70 exactly S. better off than the teacher
doing corresponding work in st. Paul
will be on June II, at the close of a full
school year. The teacher of any pri-
mary or intermediate grade in Mime
apolis, receiving the maximum salary,
closed her work $40 better off than her
st. Paul sister will be on June IT,
Congratulations to ST. Paul teachers
might hereafter take this form:

zenship in a city which solves its finan-
clal problems by laying it's burdens

worlds masterpieces and the judgment

worlds masterpieces and the Judgment
OF accepted critics.
At the recent art exhibit in this city
they saw Illustrations Of representative
sculpture and of the different styles Of
architecture and many fine reproduce
modern painting.
Later when they were allowed an
entire days study in the gallery of Mr..
j. j. Hill, they were proud to learn that
their city contains the originals OF some
or the best modern work. The paint
ings Of Corot. Millet, Breton, Diaz,
Rousseau, Daubigny and others, were
wonder and delight.
A few days after, they were taken to
Minneapolis, where DR.. Hosmer, of the
public library, met them and gave them
the entire morning. He talked upon
the great marbles Of the world, illus
trating with casts and explained the
pictures in the galleries, in his enter
tanning manner. The courtesy received
from DR.. Hosmer and his attendants
deserves more than passing mention.
The visiting class Of about forty young
ladies were given preferred space and
allowed the privilege OF examining val
liable books and plates.
In the afternoon, as had been ar
ranged, they were met by Mr.. T. B.
Walker and conducted by himself
through his interesting gallery. His
collection Of bronzes and carved worries
were marvels to his visitors, and their
pleasure in the pictures was increased
b. his stories about the great artists,
whom he has met and chatted with. To
hear Of these men from one who has
known them-of how they live and
work-was so fascinating that not till
o'clock did the class leave the gallery,
feeling that they had spent an unusual
ly profitable and enjoyable day.
Those in charge Of the training school
are glad to express publicly their ap-
probation Of the privileges granted to
the class. Everything that tends to
widen the mental horizon of our teach
ers is not only benefit to them as in
dividuals, but adds to the efficiency Of
their work in the schools

THE UTILITY OF DRAWING
Shown by II Practical Man In an En-
tertaining Way.

The melancholy days have come,
the saddest Of the year" to the friends
Of education in this city when the prob
lem of how to fit the garment to the
cloth" has to be faced by the school
management, who are likely to be
driven to the extremity of knocking
down the biggest educational offices
to the lowest bidder.
Again we meet the specious and mis-
leading newspaper phrase, economy
in school expenditure without impair
ment of the school system" and now
we learn that drawing is an accom-
plishment not essential to the integrity
of our course" and that, therefore, su-
pervision of that branch in the grades
can be safely abandoned. Greek we
must have, else they might discover
down East that something is wrong
with st. Paul, and we are reminded
of the lady" who is reported as say
ing: stockings one can do without
since dresses are long, but kid gloves
one must have"
Since the present graduates of the
trained in drawing, the work of the
specialist who trained them, it is
claimed, can now be dispensed with.
Nobody has explained how the future
graduates are to be trained, nor how
the young and inexperienced girls who
are already in our schools and who
will go into them next fall, are to be
helped to apply the knowledge they
have gained in the best way to develop
the children whom they are to teach.
1t may be well to call the attention
of the interested public at this time
to the Importance of the subject, both
from the point of view of the econom-
ist and as showing how drawing is now
such an integral part of all school
training, that to abandon it or to
weaken it's efficient teaching is to Grip
pie education irretrievably in our city.
In pursuance of this, we take pleas
ure in presenting paper read before
a meeting of the Central Public School
union by Mr.. George l.. Wilson, one
of our own towrsmen. II is so able and
convincing as to be worthy of a wide
audience
