SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

Do the semi-annual and annual exami-
nations of school children in their various
studies serve any good purpose? This is
a question which school superintendents
and teachers are better qualified 20 an
swer than one who has no connection
with schools, but it may be that few, If
any, of them have given it consideration
being satisfied to move along in the beat
en- path, because there is less resistance
to be overcome in that path. than in a
new one
In the public schools In This city, for in
stance a week is to be given to going
over the studies of the year. The task will
be comparatively easy one for those pu-
pills who understood thoroughly as
they went along the principles of the
things they studied and for those who
understood very little but who have ex-
traordinary memories. To the average
pupil, however, the week of examinations
means a good deal of hard work and wor-
ry. the worry being due to the fear that
they will not be graduated. or be permit
ted to advance to a higher grade. No
doubt there will be cases of illness among
the children due to the Examinations.
And what do the examinations amount
to? The pupils do not get any new ideas
from the examining process. They simply
fit themselves to answer, parrot like,
questions that will be asked them What
they get by examining they forget before
the beginning of the next school year. In
deed, it is a question if it is not hurtful
for them to I'LL their minds with a lot
of matter which they do not clearly I'M
derstand and which they have not the
time TO mentally digest.
The question as to how it Is to be de-
termined whether they are entitled to
diplomas or to be advanced to higher
grades, may be asked. Why not make
their graduation or advancement depend
upon the general aye.ase of their deport-
ment and scholarship during the year?
That would be a much better test than
the showing they make in their examina-
lions. Il often happens that fairly well
informed pupils. owing to diihdence or
other causes, do not do themselves Justice
at examinations, while comparatively poor
scholars. because of their excellent mem
or as and some hard work for a few days
make an excellent showing Would It not
be better from every point Of view to de-
vote the weeks that are taken up with
examinations TO the usual school duties
Such course. there are reasons for
thinking. would be more satisfactory to
teachers and more profitable to the chill

HANNA THE MANAGER,

Senator Hanna is to manage the cam
paign for the Republicans. few weeks
ago there was great deal of talk to the
effect that his health would not permit
him to take an active part in the cam
paign this year. He is not only to take
an active part, but he is to be the boss.
just as he has been for the last four years.
1t is doubtful if there ever was a moment
when he thought of retiring from the
craftsmanship of the Republican National
Committee of his own free will 1t NAV
be that he had some doubt whether he
would be permitted to hold on to the 10
stion. If he had, ii was the cause of his
reported willingness to retire from active
political work. He likes power so well
that there was never probability al any
time that he would give up his position
voluntarily.
And it is probable that the great major
ity of the Republican leaders want him
to manage the campaign. 1t is a ques-
ton II they could get another man who
could do it so we'll He has ability and
a great deal of influence with rich men
and corporations. He is not backward ia
using his influence to collect campaign
funds II is undoubtedly the purpose Of
the Republicans to use money freely in
the campaign. The trusts viii be raltd
on to contribute literally There Is bill
10 destroy trusts pending in Congress, end
this, 1t is safe to say, will be usei as a
club by Senator Hanna to compel trusts
10 furnish the money the Republicans need
And he will not be backward in using it.
II was said in 1896 that never before was
there such a lavish use Of money in a POI
litical campaign as there was by the Re
publicaus that year Unless oil siens
fail they will use a great deal more m 5ney
this year than they did four years ago
For the kind Of a campaign they EXPECT
to conduct they have chosen the right
man for manager.

cried: who's there9s'
II am the bishop of Ballarat. Could Won
kindly direct me TO hotel?
Il say, boys guess who's the cove down
below-the bishop of Balarat." Then
there was burst of ribald laughter from
the composing room. Presently the head
reappeared at the window and the voice
gave this piece of friendly counsel:

One striking thing about the Republican
Convention was it's dullness. Except for
the breeze created by the Rough Rider,
the whole affair would have been stale,
fat and Improbable. especially from the
point Of view of the newspaper corre-
spondents, who at best were compelled 20
do q good deal of writing against space

Our navy took no part in the capture of
the Taku forts. At one time, however,
the American navy had a direct encounter
with the Chinese. That was in 1856, on
the eve of the war between England and
China. Capt Foote, in the American
ship Plymouth, was at Canton. He en-
deavored to protect American property,
and was fired on by the forts below the
city. Commodore Armstrong gave him
permission to demand an apology which
was refused. Foote thereupon landed
about 800 men, and attacked the forts from
the land side as well as with his ship,
and captured all of them.

Grand Forks Herald: Every effort is
to be made to rid the state of blind pigs
and the obnoxious saloon element which
have been running wide open in the
western part Of the state in open def
ance of the prohibition laws. Yesterday
several joints were closed up ut Fort Blu
ford by Bosard & Bosard, attorneys Of
this city, and the crusade is to be con-
tlnued till all of them are wiped out.
Yesterday Attorneys Bosard & Bosard,
caused to be closed the places of George
and Frank Young, George Newton and
Martin Egan, all of whom have been
running billiard halls with bars in con-
nection. All of these have been run
n,ng apparently unconcerned to all law.
The places we're run wide open the same
as in Montana, just across the state
boundary.
