will again stay in Canton, or make great

to expect that it will be- Canton again,
with subsidized newspapers to lie about

greater humbug was ever perpetrated
on the American people, than by the
papers and Associated Press which in
'96 had control of the reports from Oan-
ton. We were given the facts from
confidential sources, not long after the

THE IDEAL CITY.

What makes a city great and strong?
Not architectures graceful strength,
Not factories extended length,
But men who see the civic wrong,
And give their lives to make it right,
And turn it's darkness into light.
What makes a city full of power?
Not wealth's display nor titled fame,
Not fashions loudly boasted claim,
But women, rich in virtues dover, ,
Whose homes, though humble, still are
great - - '.'

REPORT OF TEACHERS MEETING.

The meeting was called to order by
the President H. L. Quist, at 1920 a..
m. About 50 teachers were present.
A paper on "Value and Use of Pic
lures in the School Room" was read
by Miss Adelina Handler of Kandiyo-
hi. The main points brought out by
this paper, as we'll as by the discus
sion of it, were the value of pictures
in developing the ethical in the
child and in imparting lessons of
truth, ideality and patriotism.
Miss Gertrude Gould of Willmar
read a paper on primary Numbers, :"
illustrating the objective method of
teaching numbers by actual class
work Of class OF pupils from her
school. The ability Of these children,
most of whom entered school last fall, :,
to distinguish relation of objects was
a most potent argument for objective
teaching in number work.
The meeting then adjourned for a
noon recess.
The afternoon session was called
to order at lao, about 100 teachers
being present.
President Kleeberger of the St.
Cloud Normal school, who was to ad-
dress the teachers, was unable to b.
present. Prof. Shoemaker, OF the St.
Cloud Normal school, was present
anddelivered an address. He handled
the topic "Some Newish Things in
Teaching" He treated Of the reform
in methods of teaching and in school
curriculum. He said among other
things, "There is more good than
bad in the human soul. He, who has
not healthy body, has not healthy
nerves, nor healthy brain-no fit
place for the mind to dwell" Prof.
Shoemaker's address was very good
though brief, and he was repeatedly
applauded.
The High school Glee Club then
gave song. They were promptly en-
cored and responded with a fine Sc
lection.
Prof. o. K. Omlie, Of the Willmar
Seminary, read a paper on ''Objective
and Subjective training." In the dis
cussion which followed the need OF
child study on the part OF the teacher
was emphasized. The graded and
common schools we're contrasted, it
being held by some teachers that the
teacher in the common, ungraded
school has better opportunity of de:
Veloping his pupils good qualities as
he has no set work to take his pupils
through and consequently they can do
the work they have been assigned
more thoroughly.
"Difticult cases in Discipline. How
to Manage Them," was handled by
Geo. A. Young, OF Dist. No. l03
Idleness is the source in which most
breaches Of good order origin ate. The
good sense of the teacher must be the
determining factor as to how to handle
difficult cases in discipline.
"a Plea for More and Better Eng.
lish in the Schools: by W. H. Al
vine Of New London, was an able ar
gpmentatiye plea to teachers to en-
aeayor to establish in their pupils {

Curious Cradles,

In the palm region of the Amazon
River there is tribe which cradles
their infants in palm leaves. A single
leaf, turned up around the edges by
some native process, makes an excel
lent cradle, and now and then 1t is made
to do service as bath tub. Strong
cords are formed from the tibers Of an
other species Of palm, and by these
this natural cradle is swung alongside
a tree, and the wind rocks the little
one to sleep. Long ago the Amazonian
mothers discovered that 1t was not wise
to leave baby and cradle under cocoa
palm, for the mischievOus monkey de-
lighted to drop nuts downward with
unerring precision. An older child il
stationed near by to watch the baby
during his siesta, and the chatter of
monkeys overhead Is enough to cause
a speedy migration.

Great Britain, with an estimated coal
supply for only 100 years, has been eX-

British public has been looking upon
this with disfavor. An export tax upon
the product is anticipated, and in the
event of it the Mediterranean ports
must draw upon the United States for
their fuel. Already the United States
has been supplying the best coal for
use in naval vessels.
In Europe coal deposits cover $1,000

The exports of coal from the United

clined to take 1t up, necessitating. as 1t
does, the use Of new CRATES or new
stoves and entirely different methods
/ of firing. Only the several varieties or
soft coal now finding market abroad
need be considered.
In Pennsylvania there Is produced
for the seaboard trade what Is known
as Cleariield coal. originating mostly ON
the line of the Pennsylvania railroad,
but also reaching Nlarket over the Phil
adelphia and Reading railway. This
general name includes the coal from
several minor regions and is a compre-
hensive trade term.
Further to the westward is the Pitts
burg district, closely centering about
the metropolis of the western portion OF
the State. Some coal from the eastern
portion of this district reaches tlde-
water by rail over the Pennsylvania,
but the hopes of those who expect an
export business in IttsDurg coal are
based upon the fact that during certain
portions of the year cheap transporta-
ton to the port of New Orleans may he

Rivers.
In MARYLAND the famous Cumber-
land coal is produced but this is de-
cidedly soft, breaking into small pieces
rather than crumbling, yet not in favor
with foreign consumers nOtwithstand-
ing it's richness in fuel properties. The
foreign trade demands Il lumpy coal,
and for that reason the Cumberland can
be left out of calculations concerning
export trade.
