"ROBBING PETER
TO PAY PAUL"
1t Is Not Economy, Says DR.. J.
h. Seller.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
The public school is the hope Of our
country. The better our parents can
be made to understand this, and the
more effectually the common school
branches can be instilled into the minds
OF our youth the better will be our
government. The acquisition of read
ing, writing, spelling and arithmetic
is an equipment which will enable a
man to help himself, wherever he may
be. heartily commend higher edu.
cation, but IL from force of circum-
stances the youth can not acquire more
than this tetrad of learning, it will
make him an independent citizen. And
of these, the one is just as important
as the other.
The controversy which is on just now
in our School Board concerning the
work of special teachers, and the
abolishing Of the position of supervisor
Of writing prompts me to this com
munication. | will not take your val
liable space TO discuss ALL except to
say, of music, drawing, manual train
ing. etc, continue them. But by no
means, drop writing.
The country school teacher is obliged
to give this instruction himself, be-
cause he Is so isolated and can do no
better. Some are very successful,
willie others are colossal failures,
which is fully evidenced by the writing
of some Of our professional and bus
mess men. 20 wonder they need type
writer's, for, they couldn't read their
own writing, should it come back to
them the next day. But in the city,
where large number of schools are
grouped, and the duties of the teach
ers SO multifarous it is not only
possible, but advantageous, to have a
supervisor who will oversee this par
ticular work. This is his speciality, and
he Is not only qualified TO give the pupil
the advantage of the best methods
but also to detect and correct discrep-
nncles.
One of the first essentials in musical
training, vocal or Instrumental Is not
only proper technique, and teaching
correct principles, but also to keep
the pupil from acquiring and contin-
uing habits that would be very detrl-
mental.
! Tho same is true of writing. Right
principles must be inculcatcd in max
ing letters, and the little hands must
be properly started and trained, and
then kept from acquiring habits which
would prove detrimental. This ths
skilled supervisor is abundantly more
| able to do than the unsklled teacher,
much to the advantage of the pupil.
This Is not an experiment 1t has
been in use more than quarter of
century, successfully.

fulncse along lines of economy. But in
my Judgment abolshing this position
Is not economy, when you count the
loss to the pupil, Rohhiug rctcr to
pay Paul is not economy.

We arc making a special
drive this week on Go-Carts,
Folding Beds and Davenports.
There is not a mother in this
county but what would take
pride in pushing one of our Co
Carts. They are light, easy run
ming, well made and above all,
they are beauties in style and
appearance. It's houseclcaning
time now and when you get
through you may feel the need of
Il bed, but have not the room. In
that case we recommend to you
cur matchless line of Folding
Beds, in many styles at match
less prices.
If you have corner in your
parlor that needs filling, you
could put nothing in it that
would be more serviceable OF
look better than a Davenport.
Our line includes every good de.
sign that's out and the prices
are the strongest argument in
their favor. Remember, this
week we're making special prices
on Go-Carts, Folding Beds and
Dayenports.

were not fit for a man to eat, Senator
Dietrich foxily gathered up the samples
Of canned inedibles presented as proof of
the truth of the assertions made by the
witness, had them cooked and fed to the
man who had just condemned them.
The platters were cleaned and the chef
complimented, which removes load of
odium from the commissariat and lays
the blame at the door of that long suf-
fering parsonage, the army cook, who
has never had the slightest training in
the culinary art, yet is blamed because
he does not know it's intricacies.
The whole trouble lies in the fact that
drunkards, block heads and recalcitrants
who are not fit to carry a musket,
or sick men who are physically unable
to do so, are detailed to aid the company
cook and as it is impossible for him to
keep his eye on all of them at once,
some wondrous culinary monstrosities
result
The ration schedule is generous, and
the quality of the food exemplary at the
outset, but when the assistant cook has
set an uncorked kerosene can in the
butter box, boiled seventeen or eighteen
pounds of rice in kettle that will not
properly accommodate half that atamount,
cleaned his lanterns globe with the dish
rag, stored gasoline in the tea canister
and spilled the mustard into the stew a
few times, the company often finds half
it's rations gone in a few days after they
have been issued, and the men must
fast or forage, for the inexorable sched-
ule cannot be changed in the slightest
and is not even elastic enough to cover
unavoidable accidents.
Then it is that wall goes up, and an
officer is sent to the regiment to inspect
the food, his invariable report being that
the usual allowance of food of fair
quality is being drawn by the company
quartermaster; in what happens to it
after it is drawn the government has no
concern.
There is just one remedy, and it is
too radical to be offered without trepi-
dation. If the company and regimental
officers could be forced to eat govern
ment food Of the same quality and
quantity issued to the men under them,
we unhesitatingly opine that there
would be revolution in the commissary
department. that would make the earth
tremble, and that men would be chosen
to cook because they were good cooks
not because they, like Uncle Eben s
coon dog, were "no count fur nothin
else."
