be Il workable one It must be fex:
IDLE enough to meet the conditions
of the pupils. 1t must be rigid
enough to accomplish the desired
ends 1t must be self directing. And
finally, it must have power enough
to enforce all rules and regulations
necessary to do it's work.
Again, the intellectual standard
of the school determines the sphere
which it occupies. Without teach
ers of high educational qualifca-
tons no school can reach COM
handing position. Teachers can
not teach what they do not know
themselves. The educational level
of the school never rises any higher
than the average level of it's instruc-
tors. The character of the work
done will bear the same relation to
the school as the attachments of the
teachers bear to themselves. If ed
ucation develops brain power, then
the greater the education the great
err the power. And with greater
brain power an instructor is able to
do better work, if he has the
skill and experience necessary to
rightfully direct this mental ener-
gy. There are many good teachers
who have had very limited instruc-
ton outside of their own, but what
would they be able to do if they had
received more instruction and dis
cipline from greater minds. Garry
this into the schools. What are the
possibilities of the pupils with we'll
disciplined instructors. The sim.
pie rule holds good here as else
where-the stronger the teacher the
stronger will be the pupils. Schol-
arship gives governing power. Fl
nally, the most important element
in the standard of a school is it's
moral character. It is positive
fact that moral character in school
will give a moral influence to all
who come in contact with it. The
two cannot be separated. The inner
life of every teacher will give vi
talizing impetus to every soul in
the school room. The child is So
cial being. Let us make this one
distinct class of activities and say
that a child should be developed
physically, socially, intellectually
and morally. A social being must
know the laws which make good So
ciety, and if the children of a city
are to receive training which will
prepare them for complete manhood
or womanhood, we must unite the
social part with the good and pro-
dues a power of indwelling good
ness and character. Every teacher
has potent influence, and the spir-
it with which she. deals with her
pupils will reflex in them. How a
sunny, cheerful, happy teacher will
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1901-12-20

bring a school in an atmosphere of
brightness and activity. How a gen
tie, kind and sympathetic teacher
will Danish all deception and ugli-
ness from the hearts of the children.
Nothing sinks so gently and SO
deeply into a child's mind as exam
pies of good moral character. Liv-
ing examples Of the bri ghtest and
noblest that is found in the race,
will awaken feelings in the child
which will remain throughout life.
One author says that "Moral in
struction must touch the soul"
"Words have weight when there is
a man back of them" The school
should transform the moral senti-
ment of the child into moral TRUTHS
Moral instruction multiplies the
sources of enjoyment. It. increases
the power to enjoy. 1t removes the
conditions for unhappiness. The
moral worth of actions in a school
cannot rest in simply the necessity
of giving it, but in the worth of char
acter and moral character which
will produce the ideal standard of
the school conscience. An ideal
moral order must unite itself with
the social order, that quality me y
be produced which will transcend
both.
The school is the bridge between
the family and the community. It
is the first place where the child be
comes a member of society. 1t is
there that the moral life of the child
truly becomes responsible. The
personal activity and moral respon.
sibility should be such that it
should reflect back in the home and
in the ever widening circle of the
|child's environment. Character
grows in proportion only as ideals
of conduct become active. Right
ideals must lead to right actions, or
they will be empty. The school
should have standard of social
discipline in which action, charac-
ter and altruistic principles of life
may find constant ad justment while
the mind is growing and the intel
lect is becoming stronger. The
school should aim to develop pub.
lie spirit and mutual usefulness,
and finally, the school should be of
a nature that industry, veracity,
business, sympathy, refinement of
character, devotion to duty and in
tellectual attachments will become
80 ingrained in the lives of the pu-
pills that they may serve their ex-
istence for the greatest good of all.

Labor and Industrial concentratien.

Labor and Industrial Concentration.
It is claimed for industrial con-
centration that it was made neces-
sarv to preserve that stable equit-
ibrium" Of economic power that
must be maintained among the
various factors that share In the
distribution Of wealth. But, from
q broad social standpoint, there is
no justification for the concentra-
ton Of capital unless the resulting
benefits extend to the community
in general, which means chiefly
the wage earners. because more
than three quarters Of the popula-
tion Is In the wage, OF salary re-
ceiving class. This sharing
with the community Of the adj
vantages Of combination comes
through several channels. OF
course the most important are
lower prices. higher wages, shorter
hours and improved working CON.
iitions Of the laborers.
The lower prices come about
either through the normal force Of
competition or Is ! result Of the
pro6t-making superiority Of q
large market over . small one.
But the higher wages depend
and at bottom almost en-.
tirely, upon the pressure that can
be exerted by the workers, the
SUCCESS with which they can insist
upon increased remuneration to
maintain higher standards Of liv.
ing along with the enlarging pro-
luctiou Of wealth. This ability to |

ROBBERS CAVE N BLUFF
BIG CAVERNS NEAR LA MOBILE
THOUGHT TO BE MARAUDERs'
RENDEZVOUS
INVESTIGATED BY OFFICERS
evidences of Recent Habitation Are
Found, but Nothing Incrim-
mating DiscOv-
cred

LA CROSSE, Wis, June S.-(Spec,aI.)-
The big caverns in the bluffs near La
Noble, small village a few miles up the
river, are believed to be the rendezvous
of an organized band of marauders The
attention of the officials mas been called
to many queer happenings which have
taken place in that vicinity for some
time past, and yesterday Sheriff Lins
and another officer went to La Noble to
inspect the caverns which are numerous
in that vicinity.
Although the officers were very reticent
upon their return, it was learned that
evidence of habitation was found Traces
of recent campfire, number of blan-
kets and numerous documents of varied
Importance, secured in a crevice Of the
cavern, were found but whether they be-
longed to the marauders and whether
the latter had escaped or were still in
the vicinity was not discovered. 1t is
thought had the offenders been using the
cave as a retreat they got wind of the
approach of the officers and decamped
before their arrival.
All of the caves are of natural creation.
The opening of the largest of these caves
is fourteen feet high and leads into
chamber about forty feet long, sufficiently
large to stable twenty or more horses
with convenience. A smaller cave opens
off to the side of the main cavern. This
cave was once before the center of unusu-
al interest, it being the location Of the
work of a party who were searching for
$4,000 in gold supposed to be hidden there,
the discovery of which was never an
noupced The entire matter is beng
kept quiet by the officials awaiting fu-
ture developments.
