Refuse to Sign Oath.

Pretoria, July Il.-There is some
uneasiness here regarding the attitude
of the Basutos. In the case of supposed
treachery during the war Joel, one OF
their prominent chiefs. has been sum-
moned to Meseru. capital of military
district of Basutoland, to stand trial on
the charge of high treason. The para
mount chief, Lerothedi, is likely to sup
port Joel in event OF the latters' refusal
to obey the summons. Troops have been
DISPATCHED 10 the front.

Three Grades of Mankind.

Henry Thomas Buckles thoughts

and women range themselves into
three classes or orders of intelligence:
you can tell the lowest class by their
habit of always talking about persons:
the next by the fact that their habit
is always to converse about things: the
highest by their preference for the dis

Shirt of the Home.

There are dwellings where physical
health, refinement, well-to-do circum-
stances and 10 trouble Of any impOr-
lance, lack but one thing: the optimis-
tic spirit Of the mother. There Is no
use denying fact which we all know;
The spirit of the home follows that of
the mother if she is lively. so will her
household be; il she is pessimistic the
poison will sooner or later eat its way
into every member of the family, espe.
clally into the masculine portion of it!
Why? Because the mothers attitude
toward life influences her sons more
than her daughters. A woman does not
influence another woman to any great
extent mentally. Neither does a man
influence Il woman as she influences
him. Unless through force or through
love for him, woman will do pretty
much as she pleases, but man is likely
to be influenced at any moment by any
woman, whether he loves her or not. -

There is little difference between the
history Of the development of the com
mon school in one place from the history
Of its development in another. OF course
each locality has it's own particular col
orings, which change the minor details
of the story, but the plot is similar to
all others. The story is always filled with
the rehearsal of humble beginnings and
trying conditions under which the labor
ers were compelled to work. Poverty is
word which must be used many times
in the account of the development of
the common school is any place. Pioneers
are as rule poor people, and a new set
tlement always lacks the money neces-
sary to carry on a great many kinds of
work that the settlers desire to accom-
plish. But notwithstanding the numerous
difficulties that confront them in their
work, there is a sturdiness of character
and staunchness of purpose to be found
in the people that always results in the
accomplishment of that whict they un-
dertake to do.

public school in St. Paul is not in any
way like that Cf thousands of other plac-

First school Board.
From the annual report of the board Of
education for 1856, which is the first COM
plete report on record, the following eX-
tracts are taken, which go to show how
humble was the schools of the city even
at that date. The members of the board
were George L. Becker, mayor of the
city; G. S. Cave, president of the coun-
ell; p. P. Turber, A M. Torbet and
Parker Paine, from the First ward; w.
+. Marshall, w. L. Ames, and H. T.
Barker. from the Second ward, and E.
u. Naill, e. G. Palmer and Theo. French,
from the Third ward. The officers were
George L. Becker ex-officio president of
the board, and Edward d. Neill was Sc
retary and treasurer.
In 1859 there were three school buildings
in the city, known by the names Of the
first three presidents of the United
states. The schools had enrollments as
follows: Washington, 291; Adams, 20l;
Jefferson, 1870. Each of these schools
were divided into four sections, known

was Edward D. NeIl, man who has
done as much for the cause Of education
in the state of Minnesota as any other
man. Mr.. Neill was succeeded by John
Mattocks, who held office for several
years. Prof. George M. Gage, of Port
land, Or, was the next superintendent
He was succeeded by Rev. L. NJ. Bur
rington. The other men who have held
the office are: B. F. Wright, who still
lives in the city; S. S. Taylor, c. B. Gil
bert, superintendent of schools in Roches-
ter, n. T.; v. G. Curtis, principal of The
polytechnic school at Toledo, Ohio; A. J.
Smith, who now lives in Springfield, H.,
and Prof Irwin Lewiston, who is the
present encumbent.
These are the men who have had ad-
ministrative control of the city schools
and TO them as much as to any other IS
due the credit for the success of The
work. or course they have been assist
ed by others who are entitled to credit
The whole story might be summed up by
saying that all people in the city from
the earliest beginning of the common
schools have labored together to build Up

natural that they should turn to those
things which gave them the great pleas
ure. Reading, or in other words, educa-
ton, was something new to them, and
something which they greatly enjoyed,
and it is but natural that they should
early make provision for teaching the
children the use of books and the way
to CLEAN knowledge from them. So the
sound of the settlers ak had scarcely be-
come common in the forest before the 1T
tie log school house was erected as the
forerunner of a school system that is
superior to any that has been establish
ed. The sound of the teachers bell
startled the wild deer as it was feed
ing in the woods near the school house,
and the scream of the panther was a
common sound to the ears of the young
hopefuls who learned "readin', 'ritin' and
'rithmetic'' in the early days.
Great Work Has Gone On.
That was but the beginning of a great
work that has continued to grow year
by year until it has reached mighty pro-
portions. And why did this work reach
such magnitude? Just because the
American people We're centered in it.
England had her Protestants and their
church, and gave much to its support.
France had her Catholics and gave great
sums to the support of the church. But
America had both her Protestants and
Catholics. and their interests are center
ed in one thing-the common school. In
stead of paying large sums of money to
support churches, the American govern
ment pays its money to the support Of
the common school. In this way the
school system of America has been de-
veloped until it is one of the greatest
machines in the world today. And it is

first school house in ST. Paul. According
ly work was at once begun to fit it up
for school purposes. Pins We're driven In
the logs to support the benches ana a
rickety table was set in the middle of the
room for the teachers desk. With these
humble beginnings the school system OF
st. Paul was launched unon the tide of
affairs to grow and develop until it has
at last reached it's present magnitude.
When the schoolwas first begun there IN
1847 there were only seven children who
took advantage of the opportunity to get
an education but as the nSw settlers
kept arriving almost dailv the number

sary to erect more commodious quarters
for the accommodation of the schools.

other pass as the effect, Or even class
them both as effects of cause which
lies far beneath the surface. the fact
still remains that the growth of the com
mon school system has gone hand in
hand with the growth of the American
republic.
Tt is quite probable that the great de-
velopment of common education in the
New World is the result Of the great de-
sire for knowledge that swept in d wave
over Europe about the close OF the fif-
teenth century, and had its immediate re
suits in the discovery and settlement of
America. Gutenberg discovered his

which is now known as Second street,
just west of Jackson,s store at the foot
of Jackson street. The building stood
there several years after it ceased to
be used as a school building, but was
burned down in 1857.
While this building was still in use as
a school building. the legislature of the
territory of Minnesota passed an act es-
tabllshing the public school system of
St Paul. Soon after that the school
was removed to the Washington school
building, which became the real nu-
cleus Of the public school system of the
city. From that time the development
