The theatre-going public has grown
accustomed to expect a good entertain
ment from any of the operas of DeKo-
ven and Smith. and the visit Of 1.-THE
Hlghwayman" at the Opera House,
Thursday, October 26, is looked forward
to with interest. IN the story, there Is
much more love episode than is to be
found in the current run Of light opera,
but 1t does not lack comedy Of the kind
that one can laugh at without after
wards regretting. The company pre-
senting the opera is noted for the ex-
cellence OF It's singers, and the finished
and artistic quality of its performance.
The chorus Is large, attractive to look
at, and OF resonant power. The music
is known to have been written In De-
Koven'S happiest mood, and It includes
the Jingle and easily followed rythm
that place the composers melodies
among the most popular Of the times.

WHAT GOOD ROADS MEANS.

Chairman Dorner, Of the L. A, w.
With Some Interesting Facts.
,'Fhe condition of roads lE the Uni
ted states, taken as a whole can most
clearly be shown in figures. II we can
make inquiries Of hundred farmers. in
as many localities, as to how long 1t
takes each of them to haul load Of
crops to town, how far he hauls 1t, and
what his time and that OF his team are
worth, we can readily ascertain what 1t
costs on an average to market load of
crops" says Otto Dorner, chairman of
the Highway Improvement committee
OF the League OF American Wheeln IN.
az the number Of these inquiries he
sufficiently increased, and extended
over the entire country, the result will
pretty nearly show what II costs on an
average in the whole United States to
haul n load Of crops to market II
with each inquiry we also ascertain the
weight OF the load, we can figure out
how much II costs per 100 pounds, or
per ton, to market all these crops, and
il the Inquiry also include the number
OF miles comprising each haul, we can
easily figure the cost Of hauling these
crops per ton per mile. This gives
unit which can be compared with the
same unit. similarly obtained, by SINH
lar inquiries made in other countries"
IAN inquiry OF this kind was made In
November, 1895, by the United States
department OF agriculture, through Its
office OF road inquiry. Ten thousand
circulars were sent out to farmers in
all parts of the United States, asking
for information in these various partlc-
uiars. Replies were received from over
l.2OO counties distributed throughout
the United States, and the results were
carefully compiled. The weight OF loads
hauled varied between an average Of
2, 400 pounds in the prairie states and an
average OF 1887 pounds In the cotton
states. the average weight of farm
loads for the whole country being 2,002
pounds or practically ton. The av-
erage length Of haul was found TO be
twelve and one-tenth miles, varying
between Ave and nineteenth miles in the
eastern states and twenty-three and
three-tenth miles In the Pacific and
mountain states. The average cost OF
marketing ton of crops in the United
states was found to be 81 o. II WAS ms
high as IS ~ In the Pacific coast and
mountain states, due to long hauls, and
as low Ns 81 81 In the northern and

merous and hRuls are shorter. The av-
erage cost Of hauling ton a distance
of one mile was twenty-five cents. 1t
being twenty-five cents tn the prairie
and Pacific coast, and mountain states
and rising as high as thlrty-two cents
in the eastern states"
"The net grind result Of all these In
qulries and computations showed very
clearly, and as nearly as human intelll-
sence can, that 1t cost the farmers Of

Mature Study; Is It q Fad?" This
is one of the questions proposed for
study at the coming meeting at Nor
gantown. as referred to above. In the
hands OF good teacher nothing can be
fad. though II the writer were called
on to answer the query as to the craze
Just now, in the educational world. he
would say that nature study IL being
made fad Of the first order. In
saying this the study Of nature Is not
decrled In any way whatever, tor teach-
ers and pupils cannot know too much
concerning the great world OF nature,
but to give 1t the prominence in our
schools that some teachers do Is sim
lpy taking the time OF the pupil from
the study OF those things that are abb
sOlutely necessary for success IN after
life, The true teacher can give incl
dentally enough such instruction as
will lead the boys and the girls to study
the great book Of nature when they be-
come men and women, and they nave

but very few years Of that life IS

tive of anything else, and this is grant
ed, but good men and good women are
the kind Of citizens the state needs
and so the two are inseparable. Why
does the state establish free schools but
from the fate that an ignorant citizen-
ship is a menace to free government,
and hence our schools must, or should.
teach thoroughly the primary branches,
with as much incidental study as is
necessary to true manhood and true
womanhood. But this is TOO broad
subject to discuss in these notes, and
SO It is left to the sober thought and the
good Judgment of those who meet at
Morgantown to dispose OF as seemeth
best to them.

SCHOOL MELANGE.

Recess or no recess" is n question
often discussed at teachers meetings.
and opinions pro and con are given un.
tilone is hardlyable to determine which
way the consensus of opinion runs.
That 1t is good for pupils to have a
proper amount OF physical exercise is
conceded by all, but that they get the
proper amount or the right kind of such
exercise during the fifteen minutes re-
cess given in our ward schools is not
so apparent. 1t is impossible for the
principals and teachers to regulate this
exercise, when there is scarcely play
ground enough to hold the pupils, let
alone room enough for play Many OF
the pupils leave the warm school room
without sufficient clothing around
them, especially during cold weather,
while others play so violently that they
re.enter the school room almost over
come with their exertIons and are in
cllned to throw Off all the clothing pos
sible, which in either case results In q
bad cold which more than Counteracts
all the good resulting from the exer-
else. This Is serious objection to the
recess. Another reason for not having
recess In our city school is that all
the plans for giving the teacher trouble
are laid In the play ground. The writer
has taken special pains to Investigate
this matter and the result of his inves-
legations IL that nlne-tenths OF all the
quarrels, fights and difficulties in gem
eral have their origin on the play
ground. either at recess or In the morn
ing before the opening OF school. The
remedy for this would be no congregat-
ing on the school grounds before school
and no recess. II no recess Is given
the sessions OF the school should be
shortened just that much.

The Pedagogue is in receipt of cir
culnr calling for meeting of suDerin-
tendents, principals and teachers to
organize the Monongahela Valley
Round Table at Morgantown, w, Va.
October q, 1899. 1t is suggested that
sessions be held as follows: Friday at
$3.50 ana 1880 p. m. and Saturday at o
a. IN. This call is signed by Thomas
c. Miller. professor Of pedagogy Of the
West Virginia University; w. Fl. Gal
lup, superintendent OF MorgaRtown
public schools; Lee Smith, superlntend-
ent of the Uniontown (Pa.) schools
aud Waitman Barbe Of the West NIr-
gInIa University. The ct baiHg n
worthy one and the call liEIed by such
prominent educators insures the success
Of the meeting beforehand. Perhaps
some OF the Ohio valley teachers may
be interested enough to visit Morgan
town at that time and bring back with
them some OF the inspiration that can
always be had at such meetings for the
mere getting. The sessions Will be held
In the new public school building which
Is said to be one Of the finest In the
state. The writer would like to be pres
ent at the opening meeting of this or
Eanizatlon, which will doubtless do
much to help along the good work in
the Monongahela valley. Success to the
enterprise.

Is the course OF study In our public
schools crowded with too many sub
lccts? This question is asked over and
over again, and 1t is worthy the con-
sderatlon OF educators. II everything
that Is being crowded Into our courses
Of study Is absolutely necessary 1t Is
n wonder that the boys and girls OF
the years past could have succeeded
In life at all. The writer without at
tempting to argue the question believes
that we IRE attempting too much In our
free schools and are not doing anything
as thoroughly ns 1t should be done. The
great need Of our schools to-day Is not
more studies, but teaching force that
knows the wants Of child nature and
Will lead 1t into the paths In which sue
cess Will be assured In the life work to
follow. We need Il force Of teachers
who wilf study the child rather than
the branches 10 be taught. And right
here. by way Of depression, attention Is
called to the kind Of II higher education
needed In this land Of ours, The time
was when any who attended our best
colleges and universities must take the
entire course or none at all. AT least
no degrees could be obtained until all
the course was finished. There are Cer-
tain studies that all should pursue,
let what may be the occupation in after
life. These studies are given In our
public schools. Including the high
school, II uor boys and girls have been
taught right In these schools by the
time they have finished the high school
course they have decided to n greater
or less degree what their life work f. to
be. They then certainly are prepared to
know In some degree at lcnst what they

teen minutes in talking Of the seventh

each other and their supertors. He
smoke also OF the Importance OF the pu-

very best in getting the pupils, to do
their own work. Get them to want to
learn, TO want to go to school. There

A carnival means plenty of hard work for all hands, but it is for the common good Not only the city of Phoenix but the. whole of Arizona will derive benefit from the event.

The Southern Pacific Railway com pany is preparing an elaborate colIec- tion of Arizona mineral specimens for exhibition at the Paris exposition next year. Frank M. King, well known here. is in charge of the work for Pima county. It is reasonable to sup pose that in this exhibit the Southern Pacific people will give more attention to the mineral districts tributary, to that line. For this reason in particular 1t behooves the other portions of the territory to be up and doing' It is most desirable that all parts of Ari- zona be represented at Paris if any part is to be. Pima county is already making preparations to send a very complete cabinet and the other south ern counties will do likewise. The Re publican suggests that some united ef- fort be made to secure exhibits from the balance of the territory. The Phoenix board of trade could doubtless do some effective work for Maricopa county. Such an effort could be made to lead to the collection of a territorial cabinet to be kept on exhibition at the capital. For the sake of the mining
