What Mr.. Harvey VIII Undertake

State Superintendent Harvey is retic-
ent in regard to his plans, but it is
known he is into the office to which he
has been elected with the avowed inten
ton OF doing great deal during his
term of office for the improvement of the
rural schools of the state.
according to the reports which have
at various times been made to the State
Educational society, there is abundant
opportunity for missionary work in the
rural schools of the state in many dis
tricts, and at the meeting of the society
held here in December a paper was read
stating that only about per cent. of the
teachers in the rural schools of the state
had normal educations, and it was claimed
that number of them have not suffi-
cient education to entitle them to teach
anywhere.
One of Mr.. Harvey's ideas is, it is
said, to try TO raise the standard of the
teachers, and he will endeavor to have
the county examinations given teachers
made of such chatacter that only per-
sons qualified to teach will be able to
pass them. Re has other plans for the
improvement of the county schools,
among them being the Introduce on into
more general use of books suitable for
the reading of school children. Along
this line he is going to aid as much as
he can the Stout travelling library move
ment and also further the movements
which have been made to have small
district scho Vi libraries in every district
in the state.
Mr.. Harvey is believer in placing of
good books in the hands of young
people as a means of education, and he
has done a great deal in educating stu
dents at the normal school in regard to
the proper kind of books to place in the
hands Of the Young.

A GREAT YEAR.

The year 1898 has been the most.
prosperous this country has ever known
1t will go down in history as the begin
ming of new era of both territorial and
industrial expansion. Besides acquiring
a vast area of new territory through the
Spanish war and the subsequent pres
tige it has given this country among the
leading nations of the world, the year
has been one of unparalleled trade ex
panslon. The exports for the year
amounted to $1,25O, 100000, an excess
over imports of $617000,OO0 for the
year, against trade balance of $751;
100000 in 1897. The exports this year
exceed even those of Great Britain,
which has heretofore been the greatest
commercial nation of the world.-Su-
