the way, Is a very pretty child and
gives promise of developing into a
beautiful young woman. She is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Ole
rich. Her father was recently super
intendent Of the public schools Of Lake
City, but he gave up the post for the
purpose of devoting himself TO the
work OF writing a treatise on educa-
ton.
When Viola was one year and eleven
months and twenty-five days old she
passed an examination before two COM
petent teachers. At that time the child
knew not less than 5000 substantiyes.
1t Is probable that the vocabulary OF
this baby was at that time much larger
than that of the ordinary man. Her
father says that Viola knows more
nouns than the average adult knows
words. The unusual precocity of the
child was nurtured md developed by
the parents, and when she once began
to learn she learned so rapidly that
to keep pace with her,
Records OF the child's work were
kept by her parents and are very inter
esting. There Is first a scrapbook in
which are pasted the pictures of l 100
various objects. Viola can tell the
name of any of these objects by look
ing at the picture. In separate book
is kept record of the names OF the
objects the pictures Of which are past
ed In the scrapbook. Viola calls the
scrapbook the picture book" She
readily recognizes all the pictures in
the book, and cannot only do this but
is also able to read a number OF simple
| sentences.
Her education has been conducted on
the sentence method" or the syn
thetic rather than the analytical sys-
tenn of teaching. The results have
been most marvellous. The child can
understand things which do not come
! into the mind ordinarily until the age
of fifteen or sixteen has been reached.
Mr.. Olerich's theory of teaching is
what he calls the natural method" 1t
rests on three principles, which he de
scribes as follows:
]. To awaken q keen interest for ed
ucational work by the use of attractive
Observation-Disclosures for the child.
2. To treat the child at all times
with the greatest Of kindness and
equality.
3. All the educa tiOnal works Of the
child should be an interesting game Of
play purely voluntary. No element Of
coercion or even undue solicitation
should ever be resOrted to.
THE secret of such wonderful snc-
cess In the use of the natural method
Of instruction" says Mr.. Olerich, lies
In the fact that great interest means
undivided attention, and close at:en.
ton means retention. Kind treatment
and voluntary learning continually in
crease the delight for further inquiry.
With all her precocity, Viola has never
studied lesson in her life. She has
only played and she always wants
to play longer"

ton of Mr.. Clark would end the demo-
cratic war in this state can now see their
mistake. If any democrat still hopes to
maintain middle ground between the two
factions he must cast those hopes aside
and line up with one wing or the other.
When Mr.. Clark, was elected the Inter
Mountain predicted that the democratic
party would be permanently divided. We
point to the late city convention, not as
a straw showing which way the wind is
blowing, but as a whole straw stack
SHOWING which way it has blown. Had
MI. CLARK been defeated we should have
made the same prediction relative to the
democracy, for in all probability 1900
would have witnessed a renewal of the
senatorial fight.
The one opportunity to hea the breach
and 'reunite the democratic party in this
state presented itself in the city conven-
ton last Wednesday. Had the anti-Clark
wing used its control of that body for the
sweet offices of peace-had it heaped
Goals of fire on the other faction of it's
party-had it even cherished the virtue
Of silence and permitted the Clark men
to crawl in under the tent-there would
have been a reunited democracy in Butte
today, with all which that would imply
to political situations here and elsewhere.
But the a~nti-Clark men do not propose
to let the political sores heal. They en-
bodied in bitterly worded resolutions all
the charges of corruption and crime laid
at the doors of the late legislature by the
Anaconda Standard, and force Mr.. Clark
to defend his name and reputation
against accusations of the most dam
aging type. All the Clark men in the
state are up in arms against the other
wing of their party and the war-cry of
mo quarter is heard on all sides. In the
meantime the republicans can repeat
what George Washington said to O'Houli-
han: "Let the battle go on"

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

This is the day when the poetry of the

thousands sweet memories of the mother
country across the sea. While good st.
Patrick, and his noble work for civiliza-
ton long centuries ago, appeal to the in
tellectual appreciation of the unbiased
student OF; history, it is the shamrock
the clover sprig from the velvet fields of
emerald in the historic and of the Celt-
that awakens within the heart today the
tenderest attunements of the muse.
All Of sentiment, all Of romance, all OF
poetry, all of suffering for freedoms sake
and the memoir of it's martyrs, wells up
in the Irish heart today, as vivid pictures
of their native country's past. Thus the
day is one of significance to all. 1t is COM
memorative of all thai is good and true
and loyal in Irish history. 1t keeps alive
within the heart memories that stand for
human progress in the march of the cen
turtles. May st. Patrick's day live for

ARKANSAS AND MONTANA.

According to our Geographic advices a
political row in Arkansas yesterday re-
suited in the shooting of five men. In the
hot blooded south men do not appease
their appetite for revenge by swallowing
their wrath. Weapons Of death are DEEM
ed more eloquent than figures of speech.
In the days of the duello many Of the best
men of the south vindicated their 'hon-
orr on the field. It was deemed a safety
valve for the hig%h-spirited, and doubt
less did contribute largely to the growth
Of southern ~chivalry. With ill-timed
| speech measured by a sword thrust men
learned to respect each others feelings,
until in time courtesy became the fixed
habit of southern gentlemen. Courtliness
of demeanor became the rule.
But another effect of the duello was the
development of a super-sensitiveness,
and men %magnified trifes into grievious
offenses that called for blood. 1t was a
long step in the right direction when duel
ling was suppressed by law. AS a habit It
had become too fatal for universal pat
ronage. But the spirit thai once popular
lied the settlement of personal difficulties
upon the so-called field of honor. still ex-
lists i'm the south and finds expression in
such political fights as our Geographic
columns record today.
In marked contrast to this southern
spirit is the conservative temper of the
north. In the pure, dry atmosphere OF
the inter-mountain states. where the
wild and woolly west" is supposed to
execute it's highest jinks at random, is
found the calmest and most conservative
of men. Think Of a senatorial contest in
Arkansas, or in Louisiana, or Texas, or
Georgia, or the Carolinas, similar to the
one through which Montana has so re-
: Gently passed! Think Of such charges and
counter-charges going unchallenged in
any state south of Mason and Dixon's
line, Had Montana the hot blood of the
