A FANlOTS CEMETERY.

The Egyptian people thought they could
not have any better place to bury their
dead than near the image of their hcluti-
full sun-god. So. year after year, the
kings and the princes and the mobiles made
their graves in the desert land. And ii is
thus in the midst Of a great cemetery that
you would find the Sphinx, if you should
go now to look at him.
Now, the burial ground in which the
Sphinx is was the cemetery Of Memphis,
aud 1t stretched for forty miles along the
klver Mic In it there were over sixty
pyramids which are the big tomps built
by the kings. The mobiles and the princes
also built very large tombs the walls of
which are covered with colored pictures.
very beautiful to look at
BATTLE WITH THE LAND.
Egypt does not have snow and hail and
rain. we do. hence it's sand keeps ex-
ceedngly dry and powdery. Often there
are terrific gales OF wind, and then the
sand is whred along through the air in
such quantities that ii is worse for people
to be out in than rainstorm or snow
storm Each gust of wind carries along
just as much sand as il can support, and
when anything obstructs the path of tla
wind, then and there the sand is dropped.
and falls again to the ground. The Sphinx
was covered with sand in the year 1S1S.
| cigh ty-one years ago, when an English
man named Caviglia undertook the task
of digging him out He had heard many
Interesting stories about the great sphinx.
In At book written by the celebrated Ro-
man, Phny, il was stated that a king was
buried undtr il. CaViglia desired to find
| the tomb of this king, so ne engaged a
! large number of laborerS-mcn to dig and
! women and children to carry of the sand
| in baskets on their heads. They dug over
"a space of more than hundred feet, car
| rying away the sand for days and finally
what do you think they found? Right un-
der the chin Of the monstruus idol, at the
end OF a long passage between its paws,
/ they found little temple. The Back wall
| of this temple was one huge block OF red
granite, covered all over with pictures
and writing.
UNEARTEING THE SPHINX.
| In 1896 an American. Col. Raum of San
| Francisco, made another attempt to I'M
cover he Sphinx and find the buried king.
| with the help Of a hundred Arabs, mt n
and boys, he dug out the rubbish from a
/ hole about forty feet deep, which had been
cut down into the solid rock of tho lion 5
body ages ago. The bottom of this hole
was blocked up with stones. The Egyp-
| tian government would not allow him 20
remove them so he was obliged to stop
! Just at the very spot where is probably
/ the entrance to an ancient tomb. He clear
/ ed out the little temple, and found in it A
piece of the stone beard, which mad brok-
en- off and been buried for centuries. And
more interesting still was to find part
of the royal crown. This stone crown was
gigantic. 1t was ten feet across and about
Fifteen or twenty feet high, and fitted into
a hole in he head by a stem seven fee;

). Better and more regular attend

3. Better and more regular attend
ance is secured.
4. The best treason is that in order to
do this work the teacher must master
the course of study.
SCHOOL INSPECTION.
Last year most of the schools were
visited twice, some of them three times.
During these visits, I have aimed to
help both teachers and pupils to do
better work. have distributed many
Circulars of Hints and Helps. I
| have set before the teachers only such
methods of work as have been success
fully tested in thousands of city and
country schools. | ain aiming to pre-
sent the most useful methods known to
modern educators. Nearly all the
teachers are ready and willing to use
these better methods. Many of these
methods have been known for years,
but have not been generally used ow-
ing to lack of trained teachers. There
are better methods of teaching just as
surely as there are better ways of farm
ing or trade.
All in all there is a general improve
ment in the schools. The good effect
of the local meetings and Institutes is
clearly seen.
CONCLUSION.
Finally, gentlemen let each and
every good American stand by and
support the public schools. A few who
claim to belong to the ''e1ect'', to the
so-ca11ed 'higher culture" have naught
but an open sheer for the common
school. If any one thing is thorough
1y American, it is just that little ''red
schoo1-house. In past days there has
come from that same house Jackson,
a Field, Whittier, Grant, an Edi-
son, Horace Mann, and beyond them
ali man of greater brain and better
heart than any other who ever stood
under the American flag Abraham
Lincoln.
In the coming days other like men
will come out of that ''1itt1e red house."
The best of earth are born in humble
homes. To such the public school
gives opportunity. Such roof may
shelter an artist, or an inventor,
poet, or a statesman. In just such
houses all over this wide, extended
land, millions of American children
are today learning lessons of order, of
neatness, of respect to superiors; of
industry; of kindness to those born in
the shadow of misfortune; of loving
admiration for those grand men and
women who have filled our history
with radiant glory; of what his country
has done for science, invention and
literature, of how liberty was won for
his birthright, and of love and rever-
ence for the starry flag.
Respectfully submitted,

LIBRARIES.

Putting libraries into our public
schools is the best thing ever done to
make them better. Here are few of
my reasons:
1. Reading and language are much
the most important studies.
D.. Except in rare cases, pupils
greatly enjoy reading good books
Such are in the library.
3. The greatest good given by the
teacher is to set a pupil af1ame with 8
loving desire to read good books. The
school library stands ready to help.
4. The best way to kill a thistle is
to plant corn in its place. The best
way to kill bad book is to put in
good one.
S. The school readers soon get
stale. Fresh reading is found in the
library.
6. A good library throws a flood of
light upon many points of the text
books.
7. The reading of good books is
most powerful means of causing
pupil to grow morally straight.
The school library will ever be with

Whereas, a beautiful monument has
recently been erected in Kenosha to
the memory of the brave men who de
Tended the Union during the great re
bellion of 1861 to 1865, and
Whereas, it is proposed by the par
ties having charge OF the same, i. e.
the G. A. R, to publicly dedicate said
monument on next Memorial day, it
seems but fitting and proper that Ke-

in such dedication.
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
sum of $3.50 be appropriated to the

ing in the proper celebration of the
