| sls Is ,.s
Some wise man has said, Reading is
the keystone of the educational ARCH"
This is true, for reading is the binding
factor, the integrating power which uni
fies all of a ehild's knowledge which it
acquires at first hand, as it developes at
home and in the school. That wise man
might have gone SO far as to say, "Read-
ing is the whole of child's education;''
and he, even then, would not have over
stepped the bounds of experience or
pedagogical theory.
Reading acts in two ways: directly and
indirectly. In its direct action it puts the
pupil in contact with the past and the
present; the past with its garnered wis
dom and the present with its multifarious
activities. Indirectly it cements and uni
fies all the isolated facts and phenomena
which the child sees in its EVERYDAY
school life, or in the larger world or its
daily experience. In short, the whole of
school life may by resolved into one
complex problem, learning to read; to
read ina large sense to interpret.
No question to-day has more signif-
canoe for our schools than the old one.
"Understandest thou what thou readest?''
1t is through the printed page that a child
is to obtain its direct formal education,
and its education will always be meas
ured chiefly by its ability to grasp the
Thought content of books.
AS an example, teacher and supervisor,
our experience has been that few pupils,
very few indeed, know what the average
paragraph means. A large part of read
ing power comes from the lines of gen
eral literature from libraries; and no one
can get the full benefits of our schools
who is deprived of library privileges.
Our state has made provision for dis
tricts unable or unwilling to provide their
own libraries. Seven hundred and fifty
(s75O) dollars are appropriated each year
for travelling libraries for the schools of
the state. A very little "red tape" and
slight expenditure for freight will Sc
cure one of these Libraries tor a school.

handles. The library contains on an
average about fifty books, covering all
the helds ofjuvenile reading.
"A library may be kept three or fonr
months in one district, and then trans.
leireo until it has gone around all the
schools of the county. We are exceed.
ingly anxious to put some of these libra.
rles in Pembina county schools and we
Will cooperate with all teachers and
senool ofhcels who are endeavoring to
give some additional impetus to the i'm
portant subject of reading in our rural
schools.

THE ASSESSORS.

At the meeting of the, assessors there
was full attendance, all being present
but two. There was much more done
and discussed than the brief formal pro-
ceedihgs printed in this issue show.
The great object of such meetings is that
the assessors get each others ideas of the
basis of valuation in the different classes
OF property, and thus 60 out to their own
work with much better preparation. No
assessor wants to find that his assess
ment averages much higher or lower
than the assessment of other similar
townships, and then have the county
board change the valuation accordingly,
hence, the exchange Of views at the meet
ing does much to make the assessments
equal without the interference of the
county board.
There was one question of interest de-
cided at the. meeting, which we think
was manifestly wrong. 1t has been the
custom to value land higher near eleva-
tors, than if it were at distance. The
meeting by majority vote decided that
that didn't make any difference.
To begin with, the use of the word
elevator" means other things than
merely elevator privileges and proximity:
1t always means railroad privileges: and
proximity, and almost always nearness
to town. and these things undoubtedly
add value to land. There is another er-
ror in the minds of some assessors.
Originally the classification of land into
1st, End, 3rd classes. ETC., referred al
most entirely to the land itself; that is,
its producing power, and. that should be
the meaning now. OF course that is the
chief element of value. But it is quite
evident that many other things have also
to be considered in fixing values. 1t is
a we'll known fact that quarter section
in the middle of Hamilton township is
worth more than 100 acres of equally
good soil in some parts of toilette or
Beaulieu townships. If for nothing else
than the closeness of neighbors. A farm
of third class soil would probably sell
for as much money in parts of Bathgate
township, as would farm of the same
size with first class soil in parts of Lib
erty township. No matter what kind of

THE VALUE OF READING.

Somebody has said that the only rea
difference. between the savage and the
civilized is in the use of soap. While
said in numerous way, it illustrates ano
typities truth:
But still behind that comes the ques.
tion. why does the savage ignore and the
civilized use "soap?" for in this sense
soap" means not only much in itself,
but is typical of all the arts and sciences
known to the civilized man.
Superintendent Alexander; in his arti-
Gle on school libraries, printed elsewhere
iu this paper, gives us the real difference,
and the basis of all civilization. The
savage knows not how to preserve his
knowledge, by the art preservative. to
write or print. All that he can teach his
ooy IS what his own brain can contain.
and brain power is limited. The civil
lied man writes down his thoughts and
knowledge and generation after genera
ton does the same and thus knowledge
accumulates, and the boy of this year
has the experience of centuries to begin
on, and to add to as he grows older.
Dut IN order to make these vast stores
OF written and printed thought available.
it is necessary to know how to read, and
really he is best educated who knows
best how to read.
Most people think they know how to
read. and yet few do. Take Yourself
reader, as an example. Did you ever
discover how difficult it was to trv and
follow certain. simple, printed or written
directions for. the use or putting to
gether of a machine, to give or prepare
medicine, to make pickles or cakel The
difficulty lies in the fact that you could
not read well. To read we'll means not i
only to repeat the words but to compre-
hend.
At the recent examination Of teachers
there was mathematical question about
ladder standing against wall; when
the bottom was pulled out five feet it !;
formed triangle whose. dimensions were
easy to calculate, and which a large part Z

RheuIlldt

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.
