READING MATTER FOR CHILDREN.

There is room for fundamental inn
provements in the stories and other
literature published for children mot
so much in their character as in their
construction. Generally speaking this
class of literature is written in alto
gether too high-flown and mature a
style. Big words, long sentences,
and grown up illusions, and witless
nonsense is run in without stint, and
the idea appears to be that anything
will do for children. There is an army
of critics ready to pounce on authors
who write for adult reading, but vol
umes of decidedly poor stuff made for
childen go en- the market without a
challenge. But the children the,r-
selves are much better critics than
they are credited with being, and this
fact explains why there are SO few
writer's for children who have any
standing-for the bulk of the child lit
eraturc is condemned by the child
public.
How to write simple is not so easy
as it appears. 1t is a common expert
ence with writer's that they have to
work their way thru 4 course of
strained, high-sounding self-conscious
writing before they can develop their
ability. The young newspaper re-
porter thinks he has reached the apex
when uses such terms as "deyouring
monster" ETC., in his first description
of a fire. And most writer's never at
tain to that purity Of style which
marks ideal English.
1 How wrong is it then to turn the pre-.
paration of children's literature over
to hack writer's. 1t is equal to
the mistake long made, of putting
the poorest teachers in charge of pri.
mary schools. There is no questio,
that those who come in contact with
the child character in any relation
have need Of extraordinary insight
Judgment. wisdom and grace. Teach
ers and parents should scrutinizt
criticrlly the reading matter they
read to- or put before their children
and see that it stands the test, especi
ally of simplicity.

No CHANCE.

No chance in this land of opportunity
where the very atmosphere is perpet-
ual tonic, in a country whose untold
resources are constant spur to
endeavor.
No chance in a land where deaf,
dumb and blind Helen Kellar goes to
college, where cripples and invalids
succeed.
No chance where newsboys and poor
boys from the farm go to congress!
Why. the whole history of our coun-
try is the history of the boy and girl
with no chance.
Power and fortune are lying all
about you, awaiting the eye that can
see. the ear that can hear, the hand
that can achieve.
No chance, why, you cannot keep an
American youth with grit and deter
mination from success. Once give him
the alphabet. and there is no placing
limit to his career.

OVER PRODUCTION or Books.

It does not take more than half AZ
eye to see that the manufacture Hl
books has been carried too far in this
country. Those who overhead as they
overload when the bicycling fever was
high, must give over the practice from
sheer exhaustion. Publishers who
thrive on the printing of trash will go
out of business, because the market
for trash is more easily glutted
than that for good matter. Authors
driven to their utmost to supply the
demand created by a momentary
success will write themselves out and
return to humdrum work, or better,
will go back to the old way of slow
and careful composition, being salts
fed with good book every second
year rtaher than bad one every six
months.

The next annual report Of the bureau,
there will be a chapter devoted to vital
statistics, with particular reference to

Commissioner Ferguson is of the opin-
ION that the number of suicides in this
state is increasing at an alarming
rate, and he is determined to investi-

II anticipate no little difficulty in
collecting the data for this chapter, :"

lumber of coroners have neglected this

ing OF the state papers, it appears tt
me that Montana is in line with othe,
states in the matter of suicides and
that self destruction is increasing.
N'Stat; sites from other states SHOW
that suicides are increasing more rap

IAL CORRESPONDENTS TO THE PROFESS
WORLD.
The Board of Requests met here
today and elect Prof. Edward A.
Clark Of Wherefore university to
be president of Lincoln Institute
The condition of Lincoln Institute
is well known throughout the state
having had neither President nor
vice President this school year.
Prof. l.. f. Page who was elected
at the regular meeting of the
Board last June rendered his re-
signation in July and Prof. j. w.
Daniel formerly science teacher
in the school was made acting
president. Prof. B. F. Allen who
had been vice-president of the
institution rendered his resignation
leaving neither president nor vice
president for the Institution.
The announcement that the
Board would meet here today to
elect a president attracted consid-
cradle attention among the friends
and patrons of the school all over
the state and much interest was
manifest as to the result of to-day's
Board meeting. There we're many
applicants for the position which
pays $4,000 per year, an exception,
ally good salary for a negro insti-
tuition, and was sought by some
of the best negro educators in the
country. The selection of Prof.
Clark will doubtless, give general
satisfaction he is a man of broad
calibre highly educated and ex-
perienced, he is we'll known here,
having been connected with Lin
coin Institute during the admins
tration Prof. Page, resigning in
1892 to accept a position at the
national capitol. Quite a deal of
excitement prevails on the Lincoln
Institute hill tonight; acting
President Daniel who was an ap
plicant for the position of presi-
dent was much chagrined at his
defeat, and at once dispatched a
delegation of students to the exec.
utive mansion with a petition to
the Governor asking that he be re-
tanned for the remainder of the
year. The Governor positively
refused to consider the petition as
Prof. Clark has been elected with
the understanding that he would
assume charge of the work as
soon a practicable. Prof. Daniel
will remain in charge however un-
til the arrival of President Clark.
