The Educational Rights Of Children.

Miss Mary 5. Snow, Superintendent of
public schools in Bangor, delivered a
lecture in Lewiston recently under the
auspices of the Cosmos Club of that city,
Her announced subject was Education, "
but in her interesting discourse she devot-
ed herself more particularly to the rights
OF children regarding education. A large
number attended the lecture and all were
delighted with the instructive talk by
Miss Snow. She declared that children
had great many rights which parents
aud teachers are bound to respect, but
which they generally, if not quite often,
fail to do. Speaking of the American
methods OF education she referred to the
rapid Improvement in the Normal schools,
| the Introduction of manual labor work in
the training schools, and the introduction
of technical and textile training.
Miss Snow insisted that both teachers
and parents should see that the school
rooms are kept as clean and wholesome as
possible. The surroundings of a child
! may be a mighty factor in keeping him
keenly sensitive to every influence about
| him, whether ethical or actual Miss
Snow showed many new points in the
matters of diet and habits for the child
| She insisted that tea and coffee We're bad
things for the childs nervous system, and
the dancing school and other things in
which the children are encouraged to take
part are ofttimes far more injurious and
more responsible for hardness, illnesses
and nervous breakdowns than the actual
school work
The requireme nts of any child to keep
too constantly at work outside their
schoo, hours forms the habit of stimulus
and leads in many cases in early manhood
to the use of such stimulants as tobacco
and alcohol, thus leading to disaster
Miss Snow made a strong plea for the
kindergarten, and asserted that it was
the child's opportunity for broad solid
foundation for future intellectual improve

A Billion Dollars Worth OF Asphalt

DENVER, Col, Dec. 20. The owners OF
some OF the undeyeloped asphalt beds on
the borders of the Uncompahgre Indian
reservation residing in this city are nego-
tiating with the Title Guarantee and Trust
Company of Chicago with view to secur-
ing money to develop the deposits. Ac-
cording to the 18th annual report of the
United States Geological Survey, the arc
in which gilsonite occurs covers a consid-
cradle territory and extends Is miles over
the State lines into Colorado. There are
seven distinct veins which vary from one
to eight feet in thickness and it is estimat-
ed that their total contents will amount to
%, 744, 52S tons. The same reports quote
the price of this material in Chicago at
$40 to $50 per ton, gross value, which
would make the estimated contents of the
seven-veins worth over 81, 900, 600, 900.
