Bad Spelling.

That there is something wrong
with primary education was evi
deneed at Northwestern University
of Minnesota the other day.
The freshmen class, $50 strong,
took a test in easy words, under q
leading professor, and only 1872
made anything like satisfactory
showing.
More than half of the class missed
common words and A per cent of
the students missed more than
twenty of the 200 words given out.
To a coed fell the honors of the
occasion, she having spelled all of
the words, save one, correctly.
The freshmen who showed such
dense ignorance Of their language
came from the public schools of The
different sections of the country,
some of them bearing diplomas from
high schools.
Spelling, reading and writing
must be the basis to all education,
and where they are incomplete moth
ing else can be perfect.
Add to these three grammar,
arithmetic, geography and history
thoroughly understood, and the pu-
Dill has q solid basis upon which
education can be built through all
its ramifications, with the certainty
when the course IS complete the
pupil will be able to fill every posi-
tion where book learning is the one
thing needed.
In this connection u 10 Daruiy
necessary to say that the primary
and grammar schools ought TO de-
vote their full efforts to teaching
spelling, reading, writing, tho En-
gIish language, arithmetic, geogra'
phy and history. With a thorough
knowledge Of all these the pupil
can 90 outinto the world practically
fitted TO win his own way.
If he desires to go into the higher
branches be can conduct his OVID
eourse of studies at home, or, If be
aspires to a college degree, bis path
will be 40 easy one.
In all kindness, The Star suggests
that the primary and grammar
schools teach only practical ana
vital things.-Kansas City Star

ABOLISH The FARCE.

George W. Cooley, in his address be-
fore the good roads con vention yester-
day, made statement that should not
be allowed to go unneticed, and espec-
tally should the men who are to sit in
the next session of the states legisla-
ture persue it carefully. Mr. Cooley
said: o.
''One of the important things to be
done is to abolish the payment of poll
taxes in labor They must be made
payable in cash and competent man
hired to supervise the road work. The
people of st. Paul and Minneapolis
pay $40, 600 per year for road taxes,
and then pay $3.50, 900 per year in
extra transportation charges because
they haven't got good roads. -. T. ~
The Free Press short time since
called attention to the farce of having
roadways improved under the poll tax
system. The whole thing is delusion
that results to the benefit of nobody
but few pathmasters who are given
authority over their neighbors for a
certain number of days during the
spring time.
Road making is as much of 8 science
as the building of house and person
unacquainted with the work should
no aye charge of road construction.

Time is great healer Of wounds.
and forty years and more after the
great war of the rebellion lind the sore
spots that were made by that conflict
obliterated. grtars4t a-A.l3aG2a
Events of recent years have much to
to do with the more pleasant and
brotherly relations that exist between
the north and south. When the honor
of America was attacked by the Span
isrds the people Of the sunny south
land were as. quick to respond to the
call of President Mckinley to the de-
Tense of the nation as those of the
north. The dividing line began to
fade away and the cementing together
of the two sections worked admirably.
When the assassination of President
Mckinley occurred the south was as
Mortified over the terrible act as was
the north; and when that noble man
died and his soul passed to Him who
gave it the tears of reunited people
washed away the blood that had been
shed on many southern battlefield.
The wounds have been healed, the
bandsges to be removed, and it is to be
performed by the soldiers of the north.
Gen. Eli Torrance, the commander
in-chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, has issued letter to his com

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.

According to report made public
by Secretary Wilson the outlook for
the sugar beet industry in the United
States is bright. Charles F. Saylor,
special agent of the agricultural de-
partment, has prepared statement,
showing the progress of the industry
in 1901. aa
r If those who engage in this indus
try are successful the profits are large,
but the production of beet sugar is
attended by many risk of failure.
Large sums are required to develop
the industry, and one of the greatest
handicaps is the necessity of employ
ment Of large number of skilled and
unskilled laborers. The report says
"The consumption of sugar in the
United States during 1902. calculated
from the figures for 1901, will be ap-
proximauely 2, 500, 900 tons, and the
production of both cane and beets
will reach nearly 500, 900 tons. This
leaves 2. 900, 900 tons to be brought in
from outside the United States proper.
Of this amount Porto Rico should
supply 100, 600 tons and Hawaii 3O0,-
900, total of 400, 600. Deducting this
amount from 1000, 600 tons leaves
1, 900. 600 to be brought from foreign
sources paying duty. While the above
are only estimates in round numbers,
they are believed to be substantially
correct o4
Experience throughout the United
States has demonstrated that beets do
best in localities having certain
climatic conditions, continues the
report. sup to date large strip of
land rsaching across the northern
portion of our country has given the
most satisfactory results in growing
sugar beets. 1t starts at the Hudson,
