The school convention at Purcell
next month. If it is representative,
should result benefcially to the
white people of the Territory. The
demand for a change from present
educational conditions in the Ter
ritory is an imperative and well
grounded one. The Environments
of the children of scholastic age in
this country are discouraging to say
the least, and certainly dwarfing in
their influence. While the towns
are well provided gene.ally 20 i'm
part rudimental education to the
children within their borders the
great mass of children living IN ru-
raj precincts are inadequately pro-
vided for. The assertion some
times made that the county chill
dren here are as much advanced as
those similarly situated IN the
states is simply begging Of the
question. If we expect to rear a
great commonwealth on the foun-
dations already laid, we must pat
tern after the highest, not the low
est type of old state conditions.
That ignorance abounds in some of
the states among certain classes is
no valid defense of the proposition
to transplant and perDetuate those
conditions among our people. Let
us rather endeavor to improve on
such conditions. Let us seek to
place the school room and the
teacher within reach of all and then
if ignorance is embraced in prefer
ence to enlightenment we will at
least have the satisfaction of know:
ing that our duty was not neglected.
IL this convention is composed OF
representative men they will pre-
sent the prevailing conditions Sc
forcibly and so clearly that con-
gress will realize the gravity of the
situation and perhaps grant US re-
lief at once. Let every community
send Its best men to Purcell and
We may confidently abide the result
of their deliberations.

Perhaps the plague in Paraguay,
says the Buenos Ayres Herald, is
merely an attack of pigue or sand
flea. This insect is called nigua in
the native language. In 1870 it
killed a whole colony of English

turning the colony, which was at
Itape, into a cemetery. A German
colony at Acegua was driven OUT

use but little soap. Soaps clean
the body and the pigue likes clean

food. A man saturated with alco-
