Stationery Bids Are ExtOrtiOnate.

The Howard county council is In
quandary over stationery supplies. Last
year the officers were supplied with
books, blanks, etc., at cost of $500.
and the council, IN regular session this
fall, fixed the appropriation for next
year for this purpose at the same figure.
When the bids were opened the lowest
proposition was over $1,000, ranging
from that to 800. All bids were re
jected and it was readvertised. The
council, in special session, last week
opened the second bids, and the figures
were no lower than at first, and they
were again rejected. 1t was decided
not to increase the appropriation, bul
to advertise third time, In the hope OF
getting reasonable bids. The hand OF
the paper trust Is clearly visible In the
transaction, but the council hopes IL
some way to prevent the extortion.

tations and references where those
knew thirty-five years ago gave
the poets lines and old Cicero's inn
mortal Orations straight" In
short, it seems as if modern peda-
gogy had set out to find a royal
road to learning, and meant the
transference of the labor TO the
teacher from the pupil.
Now it seems to me that educa-
ton isn't so much TO acquire'infor-
nation az 1t is to bring out certain
qualities that only appear as the
result of endeavOr. Not vicariOus
endeavor, but personal exertion,
real hard work. You can pour in
formation into mind and make it
stay there with the assistance of a
good memory. But / am too old
fashioned to call that education.
Obedience is a word in bad OdOr
with the Give for our children"
people. ] believe the idea is that
the child knows what he wants
much better than his parents pos
sibly can, and that it is good for
him to have what he wants. If
we can not convince him that he
doesn't want it, or shouldn't do it,
by our eloquence, why he must
have his own way and we must
shield him from the consequences
as much as possible. If he is
naughty why we are responsible; it
is heredity bowling itself, some an
cestral trait cropping out. Poor
thing, he must be borne with; he
can't help it.
The results of the live for the
children policy are apparent in the
weakness of the youth of the day,
who are failures in life because a
faulty bringing up robbed them
of their stamina and Endurance, the
courage they ought to have. They
lie down where they ought to fight;
they give up here they should per-
severe, they ask aid where they
should help themselves. We make
them incapables and then send
them out into a world that has no
use for such as they-a world that
rejects them.
OF course this laxness is the re-
action - the inevitable reaction =
fromEthe sternness and repression
of the Puritan age. Then the child
called his father "sir." Now he
says "old man." Once he obeyed
his parents, now his parents obey
him. Once he was seen sometimes
and seldom heard. Now he is the
only one who is heard. Call on a
friend and the children entertain
you. They interrupt conversation
and make imperative demands on
their mothers attention while she
Is striving to converse with you.
They are at the theatre before they
can see over the top of the seats :;
they occupy seats in the car while
grown men and women stand; in
short, in 1.-THE Children's Age"
children are the most unamiable,
impertinent, intrusive, self-opin-
donated, self-impOrtant and obnoX-
ious creatures in it.
