Where They're Wrong.

q PEAKING of sectionalism and
% that sort of thing-the Standard,
at one time or another. has
found it timely to call attention to the
fact that taking account of citizen
ship throughout the United States, the
West knows the East well, but the East
has a strangely acquaintance
with the West. Eastern newspaper Of
fees carry more than their quota of old
buffers who have always in mind the
geography of the United States as it
was back in the fortfes. or the fifties.
These newspaper writer's are passing
along a paragraph just now to the eff
feot that General Henderson, if he is
elected, will be the fifth western man"
who has held the office of speaker.
These editors, who evidently know no
United States this side of Pittsburg,
make up their list of five western
men" by taking Keifer of Ohio, Davis,
Colfax and Kerr, of Indiana, and Hen
derson of Iowa, Vet the fact is that the
real western man, who has been So
journer at Washington or New York
does not reckon that he is fairly start
ed on his way to this country's West
until he has travelled beyond Cleveland,
in Ohio, or Indianapolis, in the state
that has happened to furnish three
speakers. In fact if we are to accept
the designation used by the Atlantic
slope editors referred to, there have
been at least nine western speakers of
the house of representatives. Henry
Clay, James X. Polk and other men,
who represented Tennessee or Ken
lucky, were holders of the speakership,
and those states, in Clay's time and
in Folks, We're always reckoned as
part of the West.
The absurd part of it is the presump-
tempting to make it appear that the
election of General Henderson to the
speakership would be recognition of
the West" What these writers need
most to do is to get on the cars and find
where this country's real West is. We
wager that a good proportion of them
cannot tell whether Montana is east
or west of North Dakota or north or
south of Idaho.
The sectional question has, in truth,
no rightful place in the settlement of
the speakership contest. 1t has been
made a matter of comment, however:
and it amuses the citizens of Omaha
and Minneapolis and Denver and Butte
and Seattle and Portland and San
Francisco and Salt Lake to be invited
to give thanks because they are "recog-
nized" in the selection of an Iowa man
for the office of speaker.

climbed Millions of steps.

From the New York Telegram.
You know how firing it is to climb
up a flight of steps, even when they
are we'll made and nicely upholstered,
but the chances are that you have
never given the bus conductor a
thought, although he probably climbs
more stairs than any other individual
in the world. An obliging London bus
conductor has gone into the matter,
and, being an adept at figures, he
quickly evolved the following interest,"
ing facts:
There are he said. mine steps
from the platform to the top of the
bus, and it is rather r-rating it to
say that I climb that flight of steps 10
times an hour during the Is hours l
am on duty every day; 20 would be
nearer the mark but to be on the safe
side we will put it down as II.
Nine steps at II times an hour, Is
hours day, seven days a week, makes
the nice little total of 11.340 a week,
1880 month or 5S9,6S0 year.
The number of times I step off the
bus and on again and the incidental
number of steps / climb like any 9TH
er individual in the ordinary course
of life brings the annual total up, l
reckon, to 100000 steps a year.
Been at this job long? Well, rye
been working this route just q years,
so that I've climbed quite 12,600,0O0

MRS. RLAiNE'S PLANS.
Scope of the Work of Her College o
Pedagogy,

PEDAGOGY.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
Mrs. Emmons Blaine has nearly COM
pleted arrangements for carrying out a
long-cherished project for the founding
OF a college for teachers in Chicago.
Mrs. Blaine has carried her plans far
enough along to enable her to offer the
presidency of the college to Colonel
Francis w. Parker, the present super
intendent of the Cook County Normal
school, at Normal Park. Colonel Par
ker has accepted the responsibility with
enthusiasm, as 1t offers him an oppor-
tunity to put into operation the ad-
vanced ideas he has gained during his
long and successful career as a teach
er of teachers.
The plan contemplates an educational
institution along the lines of a normal
school, but which will be as much
broader in it's scope as a university is
broader than college. The only insti-
tuition approaching it in it's full concep-
ton is the Teachers college of New
York, which Is maintained by an en-
dowment. 1t will be designed for the
educatipn of leaders in the field of edu-
cation, for the training of principals
and superintendent, and the general
benefit of the public school system, and
will probably be affiliated with the
University of Chicago.
Another side of the institution, it IS
said, will be a philanthropic one which
will undertake the uplifting of. the poor
children of Chicago. Mrs. Blaine's de-
termination to do something for the
good of humanity has led her to in
clude in her plans department which
will work along the lines followed by
Hull House and the settlements. This
will necessitate the erection of build
ing, if the information is correct, sep
arate from the college buildings proper.
and somewhere in the slum districts Of
the city. 1t is said that the college
buildings will be located on the north
side of the city.
Less than one year ago Mrs. Blaine
founded the College for Teachers of the
University of Chicago. This novel in
stitution, the only one of it's kind in ex-
istence, began its work Oct. l, 1885, and
closed for the second year April l. Dur
ing the six months in which instruction
300 teachers and instructors from the
public schools in and near Chicago were
enrolled as students.
To Mrs. Blaine belongs the credit for
starting the movement which is des-
tined to have far-reaching results upon
the public school system. Her gift of
$25, 900 made possible the beginning of
the school.
Mrs Blaine resides at S44 Erie street.
She is the widow of Fmmons Blaine, a
son of James G. Blaine, and a daugh-
ter of Cyrus H. Mccormick, who be-
queathed her a large fortune. She has
been an active worker in various fields
of philanthrophy for a number Of
years, but has avoided prominence as
far as possible.
