and an know g edge of what they have to
teach. State aid Tor common schools
should be made dependent on knowl-
edge OF the subjects taught, not on
knowledge Of things the scholar has
no use for. Experience in the school
room is worth more than all the
higher branches that can be crowded
into a human Uranium.
If the subsidy were made dependent
on these things there would be more
teachers that could avail themselves
OF the longer terms and increased paw.
and it would be possible for some
more of these experienced teachers
to remain in the ranks. It is an in
justice to the rural schools that they
should be made by law feeding
ground for high school graduates
while they are looking around for
some more congenial sphere of action.
II this change were made it might be
necessary to increase the amount of
money granted by the state for these
subsidies, but that could be done by
requiring the would-be lawyers and
doctors to pay for the special educa-
ton required for their profession

Rural Delivery REGULATIONS.

expense or replace what they have
if they are not up to the standard.
After Oct. the absence of box on

form to the new regulations. They
must be made in best workmanlike
manner. If square must measure Is

Anyone who proposes to manufacture
rural mail boxes must submit sample

come under the protection of the de-
partment.
Rural boxes must be placed at the
roadside so that the carrier need not
dismount to deliver the mail. Two
families cannot use the same box, I'm.

Stronger Than ffoction.

John Richard Meade returned to his
home in Brooklyn and found his two
little daughters dead from strangula-
ton, another child unconscious and
his wife drunk on the floor.
The mother had killed two of her
children and fatally injured the other
She would have strangled the other
child to death Immediately but that
she was too drunk.
The mother instinct, say all the
students of human nature, is the
strongest thing on earth. The mother
love is the most potent power in the
universe. The neither will follow the
child to the gallows and embalm the
corpse with her tears. But there is
one thing stronger than mother love:
Whisky.
DO you think the besotted wife OF
Richard Meade did not love her child.
rem? She would have died for them.
Yet, there lay the body of the eldest
child, aged three years and her
one-year-old sister, with several yards
OF cruel, stout Irvine about their
throats.
And there was the baby, the slender
cord having cut into his throat, fatally
injured.
That makes no difference. It may
be predicated of the mother who did
this pitiful deed that she loved he1
children with the surprising love Of
the one who bore them.
1t was not the mother who killed hel
children.

MINNESoTA'S GREAT FAIR,
New Attractions Introduced and thu
Best Old Ones Retained.

From every part of the northwest
comes the cry, 1--WE are goingto attend
the State Fair during the first week of
September" From the reports which
come to the officers of the fair it ap-
pears that every part of the northwest
will be we'll represented. AS one man
put it, '"This is state fair year."
Good crops, good prices, good times
and a good fair explain the situation.
The Minnesota state fair of 1902 will
be larger than ever. Last years Ma
tional Live Stock exhibition will be
repeated on large scale and reports
from, other departments of the fair
show that exhibitors are expecting to
increase their displays to correspond
with the Increased exhibit of cattle.
The live stock department in every
branch will be phenomenal. An en-
ormous sheep exhibition building has
been built to care for the increasing
flocks which want space at the Mime
sofa Fair each year. In the horse
department it is certain that every
stall will be filed.
Last year when the new Agricultural
building was put up it was thought it
would take care of the department OF
farm products for at least a few years
without crowding but this year it will
be hard work to get all horticultural
and agricultural exhibits into the
building. The Exposition Building
was filed before the summer had
hardly commenced and the fair man
agement has been forced to plan a
large street for booths for the great
number of exhibitors. .@ 81

it will be very difficult to find room

the fair.
Amusements have not been forgot

fair is the greatest and best list of
horses ever entered in western fair
and is pronounced, by the highest
authority, to equal any entry list of
any eastern grand circuit racing as
ISOLATION this year.
Marvellous specialties will supple
ment the racing program and each
evening of the fair there will be a
great entertainment consisting of rae
ing under electric lights, balloon as
tensions, bicycle and automobile per-
tormances by Fitzpatrick and other
noted riders; and, finally, each night
a production of PAINS latest pyro-

technic marvel, "War in China" will
be given on the enormous stage in
front of the grand stand.
The grounds have been much i'm
proved this year and numerous
buildings have been added. Increased
transportation facilities have been
arranged for and half-farerate made
by all the railroads.
The fair will open Monday, Septem-
Der first and will be in complete order
by 9 a. m. on that date. AS there will
be enormous crowds this year, each
intending visitor will do we'll to plan
going to the fair early in the week.
The president of the fair this year
is c. N. Crosgrove of LIE Sueur. E.
W. Randall is secretary.

AMBER SON BROS.
THAT EDUCATIONAL PLANK.

A great cutlery was raised by State
Superintendent Olson about the edu-
cational plank in the peoples party
platform. Some of the machinists in
charge of the educational system in
this state seem to think that the said
system is sacred and beyond criticism
in every respect. That a gathering of
plain people, not versed in the latest
educational fads and phrases, should
dare say word in condemnation of
that system almost takes their breath
away.
It all depends on the point of view
and the ultimate object of education.
To the professors in charge of the
top of the system the common schools
are merely feeders for the high schools,
and the latter exist only for the pur-
pose of preparing young people for
the university. If that is the true aim
of the system the present manage
, ment is right. But we refuse to look
upon II IN That light.
The high school and the university
are not the aim of the common schools.
The great majority of pupils in those
schools never finish even the common
school curriculum. Why then, should
the teacher in these schools be hamp.
cred by a course of study designed
for those who aim to reach the higher
schools? Why should not the studies
be so arranged that in the few short
terms that the average child can at
tend school he can get fair amount
of knowledge of those things most i'm
portant for him to know as a manager
of his business and as citizen? Why
should he, for instance, be Obliged to
study physiology for several terms,
when all the knowledge of that sub
ject necessary for him to know in or
der to lead a hygienic life can be
given in dozen lessons?
The state pays premium to school
districts employing as teacher a per-
son who can scratch through an ex-
animation in four subjects that do
not belong to the common school cur
riculum. He may have just enough
knowledge of the common branches to
pass in the branches he will have to
teach, and he will soon find that such
meagre knowledge will soon get him
caught somewhere and cause the pu-
pills to lose respect for him. Another
teacher may have years of experience
! and be thoroughly posted on every
question that may come up in the
school, yet he cannot get a position
in these subsidized schools. These
schools, let it be remembered, must
have at least eight months each
year and pay not less than forty dol
lars per month as teachers wages.
Thus the state provides a subsidized
school with long terms and a fixed
minimum of wages for the high school
graduates, while the experienced CON-
mon school teacher is relegated to the
rear or has to enter into competition
with young teachers who are willing
to teach for low wages while they are
J paying their way through school.
The common schools should be di.
vorced from the university system.
The aim should be to give the pupils
as much knowledge of the common
branches as can be given in the short
time. There should be no unvarying
course of study, but it should be left
to the discretion of the teacher, acting
IN unison with the parents and the
board. The grading of teachers in
those schools should be on experience

AS has been announced, the Colosseum

races. The chief contest will be one In
which VIII Stinson Will figure. Who his
competitor will be remains TO be declded.
One of two riders will go against him,
Harry Elkes or Bouhours. the fast

Stinson occasion for doing his best hust-
