The action of the Indiana Teachers Asso-
citation in regard to the Importance of
teaching more Indiana history in the
schools cannot be called a fad. One of the
speakers said that pupils in the public
schools know much more about Greece and
Rome than they do about the history and
institutions of their own State. The SEN
sible conclusion of the association is that
this is wrong, and that there should be a
radical change. To that end resolutions
were adopted creating a committee of
prominent men and women connected with
the educational institutions of the State to
consider and report upon the subject, and
commencing the directors Of the Reading
Circle for putting 1.-THE Young Peoples
History of Indiana upon its list for 1900,
because it seems to fill a demand which
teachers have long felt.

General Miles would have the senior
class at West Point graduated in Febru-
airy. so that they may be appointed second
lieutenants. while the adjutant general of
the army would select them from civil
life. 1t seems that the proposition of Gen.
eral Miles is decidedly the better. The
young men in West Point will practically
have finished the course of study in Feb
ruary. If the appointments were not to
be made until June there would be no ques-
ton Of their appointment in preference to
young men from civil life. To appoint
them from civil life in February and to
assign the cadets after graduation in June
would give those who are not SO well quail
fled for affairs seniority over those who
have given four years to the study of mill
tary science. Such a procedure is an in
justice to the cadets and seems to be preju-
dcal to the service.

THE PHENOMENAL YEAR.

The business year which has just closed
will go on record as the most remarkable
for the volume and activity of trade. for the
appreciation of prices and for the general
distribution of prosperity that this country
has ever known. In no year have the
wages of so many workers been increased.
and there is none on record in which so
much idle labor has been absorbed by the
demands of industry. For the first time in
years. perhaps In a generation, has such
a condition as labor famine been the sub
ject of complaint. The demand for iron
general improvement of business, has been
beyond precedent. A few years ago 1t was
difficult for manufacturers to dispose of
an annual output of six or seven million
tons of pig iron, but last year, with an
output of thirteen million tons, a scarcity
was reported. The demand for all staples
in all parts of the country was so great
that il was feared retailers were loading
themselves with stocks which they would
not be able to sell. Inasmuch as jobbers
better. there As no ground for such appre
hension. The capacity of the people to
consume merchandise when they have the
means with which to purchase is marvel.
Four years ago the general complaint was
overproduction, but during the past year,
when production along all lines was
greatly increased. there was something
like what may be called scarcity. This
is due to the general employment of the
people and the fact that all classes have
something to dispose of which gives them
money. which they spend freely for things
they desire. One of the distinctive fea-
lures of the years prosperity the great
increase in the volume and value of the
products of our factories which have been
sold abroad.
The outlook as the year 1900 opens is as
promising as was that on Jan. 1, 1899. 1t
is true that no one was prepared for what
has taken place-that the wisest were as
tonished at the marvellous increase of pro-
duction. A like increase cannot be ex-
pected during 1900. but there is abundant
promise that the present conditions will
continue. These conditions are of a nature
to cause all those people who rejoice in
the general prosperity to enjoy the present
and indulge in bright anticipations for the
future. All they can ask is that 1900
shall be as prosperous was 1899.

Paul Leicester Ford's novel has already
become one of the popular favorites among
the seasons novels, this being due probably
to the remarkable demand for historical
fiction. 1t is certainly not owing to its
high quality as a mere work of fiction. for
in this respect 1t has many defects. The
historical period covered includes the
troubles in New Jersev preceding the call
to arms in Massachusetts and the move
ments of Washington from Harlem Heights
in 1776 to the surrender of CORVALLIS in
1871. Incidentally the author brings in the
