BAD SPELLING.

TIL e GIob Has on more than one
occasion directed attention to an evil
which is of somewhat general exist
ence in our system of public education.
Public school scholars are it's victims in
great numbers. 1t is the evil of bad
spelling. The effort has been persisted
in to minimize its significance, but SEN
sible people who think that the main
usefulness of our schools. consists in
giving to the children Of the people the
rudiments of a sound English educa-
ton do not take any such false view.
Attention has been called to the fact
that only Sc out of 141 freshmen at
the Northwestern university were able
on recent occasion to pass an exam
ination in spelling. The words the pu-
pills were asked to spell were ordinary
ones, and were not at all accounted
difficult by the examiners. Prof. Clark,
of the university named, explained the
strange result by saying that it was
due to the so-called scientific method
of teaching spelling.
There cannot be much doubt but that
the result of such an examination in
any ordinary high school or university
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-16

will reveal quite as bad state OF
things in spelling as is revealed in the
case of the Northwestern university.
The evil, however, has been made gen.
orally known, and it is incredible that
scientific" methods will continue to
prevail very long against the prime
necessity Of turning boys and girls out
who can at least spell the ordinary
words Of the language.
1t is gratifying to be able to record
that the public schools of this city are
now being superintendent by an educa-
tor who will not stand for scientific
nonsense of any kind which may in
terfere with the realization Of the main
public requirements of the free school
system. Already Prof. Smith, in spite
of opposition, has set his face against all
faddish notions which may operate to
prevent the children from realizing the
principal substantial advantages Of be-
ing educated at our public schools.
The Clio b e has had the dlstinc-
ton of being set down by the "scien-
tific" fraternity and sisterhood in the
pedagogic art as opposed to the public
schools, because it has unhesitatingly
denounced such nonsense. The criti-
cism has been encouraging, and, 1t 1T
has any result at all, will only cause
more extended attention to be directed
toward the defects of the, school system
by this paper wherever they reveal
themselves.
The Sun, of New York, has recently
had something to say on this score. 1t
closed an editorial utterance on the
subject with the following paragraph:
But the great thing is the method.
Nothing can equal the pity which the en-
thusiasts of the new method bestow
upon children who have learned to spell
without reliance upon it. Spelling is
nothing; method is everything. Let US
remember that, when we come across
worse he spells the more superior is the
method by which he came to that pre-
eminence as a muddler and twister Of or
biography.
Scientific pedagogy is all right: but it
is not the whole thing by any means
in public education. When it runs to
seed, as it has done in the teaching of
one of the RS, there is only one thing
to do with it, in order to save the soil,
and that is to pull it up by the roots.

RECUCING3THE PRINTING BILL
of THE GOVERNMENT
President Thinks Official Reports Con-
tain Too Much Truck.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Is. =
President Roosevelt has determined to
stop some Of the abuses that have crept
into the printing of reports, annual and
otherwise, and the documents of gov
ernment offices generally. The plan is
to eliminate many Of the statistical
tables and expensive illustrations, as
well as to minimize the number and
size of government documents gener-
ally. His policy is briefly stated in the
following letter which Secretary Cor
telyou has sent to the various depart
ments of the government:
II am directed by the president to
say that he desires some plan devised
by which the present tendency to in
crease the number and size of printed
reports and documents of all sorts may
be curbed. He thinks there is much
useless matter and large number Of
unnecessary and expensive illustra-
ticns included in many Of the reports
and documents published; that many
are issued at great expense which ac-
complish no practical good, and that
there is too much public printing gen.

WHERE THE LOSS WOULD COME.

WHERE THE LOSS WOULD COME.
Today the Twin Cities and Duluth
receive from the Dakotas upwards of
1O0,000,000 bushels of grain.
This is interstate business.
That proportion of it, however which
is hauled within Minnesota is a basis
of gross earnings on which the 3 per
cent tax is laid.
Three-fourths Of the haul on this in
terstate freight is in Minnesota; there
fore, under the present act, three
fourths of the earnings from this 100,-
100000 Of grain charges is credited
to Minnesota for the levy Of the gross
earnings tax.
But under the new version pro-
pounded by the Van SAINT administra-
ton, this is all knocked out, and Min
nesota is credited only with the pro-
portion which the mileage Of the road
Operated within the state bears to
the entire mileage operated by such
company"
In the case of the Milwaukee, only
16 per cent of its mileage is in Mime
sofa; in the case of the Northern Pa
cifc, 20 per cent; in the case of the
Great Northern, SO per cent.
The state of Minnesota, therefore,
instead of rs per cent, would get only
16 per cent, 20 per cent and SO per
cent, respectively, of the earnings of
these three roads from the interstate
haul of this 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels of Da-
kota grain to the Minnesota markets.
From this source alone, it is appar-
ent that Minnesota, instead of being a
gamer by the new act, would lose hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
1t is even worse in the case of freight
to and from West Superior and the
Twin Cities.
In the West Superior case, the state
now gets as a basis for railroad taxa
ton practically the entire gross earn
ings, and this volume is large.
Under the proposed amendment, the
state will get only the mileage pro-
portion Of one-third to one-sixth.
Moreover, the three roads which
run to the head of the lakes can, by
transfer of their Duluth business to
Superior, evade two-thirds of their
taxes on the lake traffic.

America In order that they may give
an exposition of their gymnastic train
ing as an example of that which is now
carried out in the British service. The
war office will pay the expenses of the
British soldiers. Gen. Young hopes to
be able to get the war department at
Washington to send dozen American
non commissioned officers to England
SO that they may investigate the de-
velopnent of the setting up drill in its
up-to- date form as 1T is practiced in
this country. Gen. Young said:
Smarter Than Americans.
"The gymnastic exhibition we saw
at Aldershot beats anything we have
got in the way of smartness. The men
who took part in it were non-commis-
stoned officers, qualifying as gymnastic
instructors. 1t was the finest thing l
have ever seen in that line, and l feel
sure that an interchange Of expert
ences in this branch Of military train
ing will be Of mutual benefit to both
countries. Earl Roberts received my
suggestion, with regard to the British
soldiers going to the United States,
and picked out the team to go, with
the greatest enthusiasm"
Gen. Corbin said his experiences of
the British army so far have led him
to think there is but little difference
between the American and British
services.
"They have their common joys and
sorrows, projections and defects" said
the American general, land in the ad-
miration Of such a place as Aldershot
I found everything much as I would
at, say Fort Leavenworth; but the

ly different The men in the British
ranks cannot begin to compare, from
the point of view of my brains, educa-
ton and initiative, with the men who
compose Americas commissioned

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 15.-The
adoption of radical precautionary
measures for protection from forest
fires is advocated in the annual report

purpose that stricter regulations be is

campers visiting in the parks; and
that fallen and decayed trees and pine
needles and other inf1ammable matter
in the forests be burned annually and

1t is also urged that stringent meas
ures be adopted to prevent the con-
slant trespassing of sheep herders,
with their destructive bands OF sheep,
on the reservation. as no adequate pun
ishment is now provided for such acts.
1t is proposed to ask congress TO make
trespassing in the park a misdemean-
