History in the Schools.

THE frequent changes made in high
school and college curricu1a are evi-
dences that the progress of time is re-
1ent1essly discarding the ideas of the
greatest educators of the past and STU
perimposing courses of study suggest
ed by the peculiar requirements or the
day. Among other changes that are
the results of time taught wisdom is
the increased Importance attached to
the study of history and the improved
methods of teaching that particular
study. More care is exercised IN the
manner of instruction and vastly I'M
proved text books are in use. But des-
pite this advancement and the greater
facilities of the day, it is a question
whether the public schools, even now,
fully appreciate the superior import
ance of this branch of public instruc-
ton. The manifest tendency of both
teachers and pupils to form themselves
into clubs for the study of history is
evidence enough that the study is OF
absorbing interest and seems to point
to the conclusion that it is not given
sufficient prominence in the regular
school work. Few will doubt the eff
cheney of the proper study of history as
a mental discipline. The fact that it
has a popular side should only
strengthen it's claim to recognition and
it's potency as a true educator, when
given proper teaching, should serve to
secure for it it's proper place in the
curriculum. In che United States, with
it's peculiar government and political
institutions, it is of paramount i'm
portance that the high school
pupils should be given thorough in
struction in the history of their own
country. 1t is the history and evolu-
ton of the political parties and princi-
pies in this country and a thorough
understanding of it is the first essen
tia1 to good citizenship in republic
gives opportunity for the college man
to drink as deeply at the spring of his
torica1 truth as he chooses, but it is
only a comparatively small number of
those upon whom the responsibilities
of American citizenship fall who can
avail themselves of that privilege.
The American citizen is largely what
his public school education has given
him the means to be. If he is given
the instruction which lays the founda-
ton of studiousness along the lines of
his political esponsibi1ities he will
make such citizen as America needs.
We believe that there is no line of
study that is better calculated to arouse
proper interest in the political welfare
of the United States on the part of it's
citizens and fit them for the proper
performance of the duties of citizen
ship than the careful and thorough
study of history, especially United
States history, while attending the
public school.

Is THE reign of the detnagogue near
ing its end? Is that gentleman, popu-
1ar1y known as the politician, being
crowded off of the stage of political &C
tivity by the student? The educative
element in recent campaigns naturally
sugg ests the question. The campaign
of 1896 was educational in the extreme.
The literature of finance was scattered
profuse1y over the country. The pens
of the learned were in constant requi-
sition. Numerous magazines were
founded for the especial purpose of
promu1gating the principles of finance.
The daily papers and the periodicals
crowded their pages with economic
literature. The history and laws of
our monetary system found their way
into new books and scholarly treatises
on the subject were spread broadcast.
1t is inevitable that the sphere of
influence of the politician should
contract as the general intelligence
expands. But while the demagogue
holds sway the germ of popular poll
teal education receives small nourish-
ment. To GUST that individual is alb
so1ute1y necessary, but to do it by the
gradual education of the masses might
be wearisome process. Those inter
walls that characterize the history of
every nation, when Notwithstanding
great principles are lurking in the
shadow and party predominance.i the
sole issue, have always been the eras
of detnagogica1 supremacy. The next
Presidential campaign and succeeding
campaigns give promise of mo-
mentous issues, and therein lies the
hope that the demagogue and
the politician, as the term is
generally accepted, may be swept out
of existence. The questions which
will confront the American people at
the next election have already called
together conventions in which the
the controlling factor. Issues such as
present questions present are of vital
import. They must be treated with
the utmost de1iberation. They involve
the deepest interests of the nation, and
their consideration requires the
best intellect that the nation has
to offer. In these cases the dema-
gogue must stand'aside, and the scholar,
with the people under his guild
ance, must take the responsibility.
If the campaign of go was an educa-
tiona1 one, that of 1900 promises to be
far more so. Under the impetus of
such periods popular education makes
remarkable progress. When the first
commotion subsidies and the nation
enters again upon one of those quiet
eras the effects are still in evidence
and the public intelligence Tuakes the
return of the demagogue a difficult
matter, With such an educational
stirring up in prospect as the APP
proching campaign must promote,
there is reasonable ground for the be-
lief that the politician will be thrust
aside

RAN INTO A HORSE.
Edward HeadsLrom Has a Narrow Escape
Escape From Serious Injury.

Edward Headstrom, shoemaker
employed in the Gronquist store, had a
most miraculous escape from being
instantly killed last evening. He was
riding home from work about 9 O'Clock
and as he started to turn the corner of
Main and Park streets he ran into a
horse which was being driven by John
Hegeman. The bicycle was knocked
out from under him and the shoemaker
was thrown directly under the horses
hoofs. The animal was moving at a
rapid gait but the driver did all in his
power to stop him before he tramp1ed
the PROSTATE form of Headstrom.
A great crowd at once gathered and
all of them expected that Headstrom
would be very seriously injured, but he
finally extricated himself from his
peri1ous position without assistance.
He was carried to the office of DR..
Pugh, who attended him. The horse
had stepped on him and he was bruised
in all parts of his body. No bones
were broken and this morning Head
strom was able to be at his bench. He
complains of pain fron13 the bruises
but says that he did not sustain any
serious injury. The bicycle was COM
p1ete1y wrecked.
The narrow escape of the man from
more serious injury should Empress
upon the officials of the city the i'm
perative demand for a more vigorous
enforcement of the unwritten laws of
the road. In many cities of the size of
Kenosha ordinances have been passed
requiring these laws to be observed,
and some such action should be taken
in this city.

BORROWED A HORSE.
Unknown Parties Take Valuable Horse
From the Stable of Charles Krebs.

Charley Krebs offers a reward of $50
to the man who will find and arrest
the person or persons who took a val
liable mare from his stable last even
ing and drove it, as it seems from the
appearance of the horse, all night. Mr..
Krebs shut the horse in the barn as
usual and went to bed. When he went
to the stable this morning the horse
gone. He at once notified the police
and started a search himself. A few
hours later the animal was found in
the barn of John Murphy near the
Krebs home. The boy in charge of
the barn says that the horse. was
brought in some time during the morn
ing, but fails to remember the man
who brought her. The horse was Sc
rious1y injured and it appears to have
been driven long distance.
The entire police force have been
put to work on the case and if the
guilty parties are captured they will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law. This is the second time in the
past few months that such crimes have
been committed and from develop
ments it seems that the same hand held
the halter strap in each case.

State Dairy and Food Commission
Conduct an Analysis of the City
Water Supply.
FURTHER TESTS TO BE MADE.

State Chemist Mitchell States that the
Water is not as Pure at the Present
Time as the Water Taken From the
Lake at Mtlwaukee.-The Departm emit
Has Sent Samples of the water to the
State Bacteriologist for Examination.
A short time ago at the urgent re-
quest of the physicians of the city, a
sample of the city water supply was
sent by the superintendent of the water
works to the State Food and Dairy
Commission for examination.
The report of the examination has
been received, and while it is not en-
tire1y satisfactory it will be read with
a great deal of interest blythe people
of the city. The full examination of
the water has not as yet been made,
but further tests will be made in the
state department of bacterio1ogy to
test the water for the presence of ty-
phoid germs.
The full result of the analysis of the
water, together with the letter of the
State Chemist is as follows:
Mr.. Rob't H. Moth, Sup't Water Works
Kenosha, Wis:
Dear Sir.-Your letter and sample of
water have been received. The water
has been analysed with results as fol-
lows:

AS to it's comparative purity with
other Lake Michigan waters, may
say that in my opinion it is more pure
than the Milwaukee city supply was
previous to the building of it's new in
take, and slightly less pure than the
present Milwaukee city supply. 81
AS you have particularly requested
an examination for typhoid and dis
ease germs, have thought best to
send the balance of the sample to DR..
H. L. Russell, the Psychologist, at
the State University. No charge will
be made for the chemical work, but DR..
Russell will probably charge a reason-
able amount for the meteorological
examination.
It is our custom to make occasional
examinations of city supplies for pur-
ity, when demanded by public officers,
without charge, but of course we could
not undertake a series of such analysis
for the control of city supplies.

THE ELKHoRN WEIR.
Some Talk Of Making It One Foot
Higher.


Some of the members of the Auditing
Board to the Commissioner of Public
Works are considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of placing another foot of masonry and
concrete work on the big overflow weir
near Elkhorn ranch, up the river.
The estimates made by the engineers
to the Commissioner, that when the
water reached the twenty-five foot
mark in this city it would flow over the
weir into the Yolo Basin, proved cor
rect, but it has been also demonstrated
that the weir handles the surplus flood
water, and at no time this season has
the markings here recorded much over
twenty-five feet, though the water has
been pouring into the basin for a week
past.
T. B. Hall of the commission yester-
day said to a Record Union reporter
that it remained for the engineers to
determine how high the river would
rise at this point provided the weir were
built up another foot. In that case, he
wa. of the opinion that the weir would
relieve the pressure here when the
twenty-five foot mark was reached, and
Strengthened as. the. leyees have been
tHt1S NOulu US- ilO udHSSI u plSdhS oI
either side. Such <an increase in the
hight of the crest of the, weir would
not only greatly increase the volume of
water in the river, and its securing ca
pacity accordingly, but would preclude
any overflow into the basin until the
flood waters had raised foot above the
present hight of the weir.
Captain Hall said the proposition had
received considerable attention by men,
bers of the board, but whether definite
action would or would not be taken In
the near future he was unable to say.
