Big Wool Sale.

John Noble of Owyhee county
was in this place last Saturday, and
through the firm of Chas. r. Kel-
sey & Co., of this place, the biggest
wool sale ever made in Idaho at one
time was consummated. The wool,
amounting to 100000 pounds, and
representing the clips of the past
three years, was purchased for the
house of schott & Co. of st. Louis,
the price being $4,000. This wool,
which is stored principally at Noun
tain Home and Caldwell, will soon
be shipped to st. Louis and it will
take at least fifty cars to move it.
Mr.. Noble estimates his next years
clip at nearly 100000 pounds of
wool.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.

Fourteen years ago there was in augurated in this country an expsri- ment connected with the public schools that appears to have justified it's innovation by most interesting ard beneficial results. We refer to the system of school savings banks which had it's conception in the mind of J. H. Thiry of Long Island City, where it was first put to trial School bank ing IS now in practice in 351 schools, distributed throughout eighty-nine cities CT villages and fourteen states Of the Union: on January 1, 1899. the total deposits were S649, ,247.O1, the amount withdrawn was S441 1,825 S3, and the balance due, $207, 7,421.18, an tn- crease over the balance due on Janu- ary 1, 1898, Of $27,769.16. That IS to say, thousands of our American youth h are being taught-or rather are teach ing themselyes-the virtue of frugal ty at time when most children are learning habits o1 usefulness and ex- tTavagance. This Of iteslf is enough to justify the system for which the
 
 figures here' given argue so powerfully. As MT. Thiry argues, the great objsct of education is the enlargement Of the mental powers and final results in the character. He $ entitled to know what laws of conduct lead to greatest welfare, what natural laws conserve security, what economic laws govern the production Of value. whatever of law and truth is essential to his intel lectual, moral and physical well being. More specifically, he is entitled to know the value of frugality and to be suit ably trained in its practical exercise. Thiry's plan accomplishes ;n a better way something of the results of a re- cent law passed in Belgium which ccmpels the opening Of a bank account for every child born, to which the mu- nicipal.ty and the parents must con tribute. No such law is possible here, but the school savings plan is vastly better in that the child learns his own lesson of saving, and good habits are through his own acts engraf:ed into his nature. A f5w objections to the Thiry system readily occur. but it's re- suits as q practical branch of the edr- c@t,onal system justify it's existence and esem to outweigh the difficulties of it's establishment, at least in nlscy places

THE FELLOW FEELING

The English papers are taking good
 care of our reputation across the ocean
 when we are attacked by continental
 critics in the matter of the Philip
 pfnss. The English have been there
 themselves, and are in q measure re-
 turning good for evil; for We used to | be among their severest cTtt:cs. That
 was before we had tried our own hand
 at running a colored orphan asylum
 on any extended scale, barring the
 "copcraband" at the south, and they
 are not orphans but younger brothers. i according to al our laws, cnly, like
 many younger brothers, to be violent
 ly repressed.
 Bringing up infant racas, not under
 our own sles but in alien countries
 where not only custom but climate is strange and hostile. where we are bound to be misunderstood, and where
 we have to import all the civiliz.ng influences, from men downward, is
 quite another matter As the bache-
 Tor stands off and clitic.sss the failures
 of married persons, from his satisfac-
 tory point Of view Of theory and inex-
 I5zrienoe. 50 the continental critics dis

And the Spaniards had | had colonial possessions for centur-es, 1 and ought to have known something about managing them, whereas We had | to g1apple with all the nsw problems ] of a struggle with uncivilized enemies in tropical climate and on unfaVor- able ground.
