vote for Mr.. Thomson. All the speakers
eulogized the three candidates, (Mr.
Tbos. Mcdonald Of Drayton. being also
under consideration, as good and suit
able man for the position and disclaimed
any political or other bias in their selec-
ton.
Mr.. Thomson in a few suitable words
thanked the board for the honor confer
red, and promised to do his duty as best
he could.
Mr.. Campbell, who was also present,
thanked those of the board who had sup
ported HIM, and declared he held no
hard feeling against those who had voted
against him, and reaching over shook
hands heartily with Mr.. Thomson as an
evidence of personal friendship but
added that as the appointments were for
only year that he might be heard from
again next fall.
The appointing board then adjourned
sine die and the County Board proceed
ed to organize. Mr.. Sigurdsson was
elected temporary chairman and then
Commissioner Myrick nominated Mr..
Taylor as chairman for the succeeding
year, which motion was unanimous ly
confirmed, and tile board adjourned, and
the board adjourned for supper, feeling
as though they had done good days
work.
| Among the members of the 'third
house" present presumably to assist the
appointing board in their deliberations
were Alex. Murphy, Chairman of the
Republican County Committee, Post
master Mcintosh and A. Garnett of St.
Thomas, and ex-County Commissioner
Jos. Morrison Of Drayton.
AS every county in the state had SINH
lar proceedings-and as the law govern
ing these proceedings is such mixed up
and erroneous affair-the legality of the
appointments and methods will undoubt-
edly be brought before the courts for
decision. as in many counties there is a
strong feeling for or against the appoint
ees. In Richland County the appoint
ing board was enjolned by the court from
proceeding. Here, the people generally
will undoubtedly take the present ap-
pointments as satisfactory, but it is pos.
sible that the court decisions might
change things even here.

We note the Bismarck Palladium has
a little sarcasm on Editor Tuttle of the
Mandan Pioneer, to the effect that he
would be an able writer on some of the
literary monthlies. The Pioneer Ex-
press has emphatically disagreed with
Editor Tuttle several times. but it be-
.lieves, without sarcasm, that Editor Tut
tie would prove valuable addition to
the editorial staff of almost any of our
high class weeklies or monthlies. Any
way, there is no better written, or more
interesting editorial page in North Dako-
ia than that of the Pioneer. Brother
Tuttle is all right as writer, even if he
is sometimes wrong in his writings and
supreme court decisions.

Organized-The County Board.

On Monday occurred the first regular
meeting of the New Year, and incident
ally the election of the new commission
ers and the organization of the board.
Owing to the inconsistencies and
manifest errors in the statutes, the for
nation of an appointing board under the
statute was rather dubious question.
Mr.. Myrick took the ground that he
held over until ''his successor was elect.
ed and qualified and that Mr.. Often was

The board took this view of the case
and the appointing board organized by
electing County Judge ]. D. Wallace as
chairman and Auditor Williams as clerk,
these being by law with the remainder
of the county board" members of the
appointing board.
Commissioner Taylor then, as he
said ''To use the words of the Pioneer
Express" that as Mr.. F. c. Myrick was
almost indispensable to the board, he
took pleasure in placing him in nomin-
alton as his own successor, and the nom-
ination was made unanimous, and Mr..
Myrick forthwith placed his oath of office
in the hands Of the auditor.
Commissioned Sigurdsson then nomin-
ated M. M. Campbell as commissioner
for the 9Th District, and said he did so in
response to recommendations made by
Mr.. Campbell's friends. Commissioner
Jos. NORM seconded the nomination and
said hedid SO largely from requests Of
persons from his own Neche district.

preference on the grounds that each Of

lack of response to well meant efforts on
the part of educators. There is the city
school with its highly trained corps of
teachers, with all the facilities of books.
rooms and apparatus, and ten months
school under perfect systems OF grading
and classiicatjon-and yet the average
country boy or girl who moves into the
city, takes his or her place in the classes
of the city school according to age, just
as if the little prairie school house in the
country had had all these accessories.
1t is also fact that the country school
graduates hold their own in both num-
bers and ability-in the business and pro-
fessional circles of the Scities-if not
moreso.
In fact isn't the educational idea of to-
day going into extremes of methods, of
ways, of systems, of drill? Hasn't it
swung pendulum like from the darkness
of no system into chaos of red-tape,
mingled with fads of many kinds From
the three RS to whole alphabet of SUBJ
fleets which simply make intellectual hash
in the pupils mind
Isn't it little like teaching the car
penter's apprentice that the more tools he
has in his chest the better workman he
will be What is the use OF digging a
three story cellar for one story cottage?
Why attempt to lay the foundation for a
liberal college education for boy who is
certain to leave school at fourteen or six
teen years of age? And yet the pub
lished course of study in this state begins
at the primary room and ends at the Uni
versity. And that is the course of study
that is being enforced in our country
schools to-day.
There isn't one person in ten who
reads this paragraph can answer prompt
ly, how many states and territories there
are-and it is not because they are know
nothings.
Children are spending hours daily over
''diacrltical markings" and not one
country editor in ten, whose daily busi-
ness it is to spell, and whose dictionary
and the markings are his hourly reference
can rightly place such markings on an
ordinary three-syllable word.
Lindley Murray couldn't get third
class marking in grammar examination
questions of to-day-and the college pro-
fessor of twenty-five years ago would be
lost in "witten examination" given the
pupils of a Language" class now-sim-
ply because they wouldn't recognize the
terms used-and yet it is the same old
language-and the pupils murder it just
as badly as ever.
Ask the pupil of the advanced class to
read orally to you and see how quickly
he will decline, or seek to excuse him
self. Fine writing is almost lost art,
and so we could go through the cata-
logue.
AS we said, we ask these questions in
good faith, not to disparage. We can,
and do see much good and progress, but
the progress is not commensurate with
the increased expenditure, the high
theories, or the actual. expectations

ST. PAUL K1NDERGARTEN PARTY.

According to the Twin City papers
there was a gathering of about twenty
five North Dakota politicians in St. Paul
short time ago, and that the .'kinder-
garten" meeting as it is called, agreed
to certain things, in fact all the import
ant things to happen in politics during
the next year in North Dakota.
When one reads over the list of names
ofpersons present, the statement that
these persons "agreed''is certainly some
thing remarkable, for in several cases
they have been bitter political, in other
cases personal enemies for years, and the
very week following some OF them were
scrapping at Fargo over the postmaster
ship.

EDUCATIONAL THEoR1Evs. RESULTS

Last week scores ofteacher's meetings
were held in various cities and states,
and the papers were full of the wisdom
of these experienced men and women.
Personally, the writer has great regard
and sympathy for teachers, of whom he
was one in earlier years. In the obser-
vations following, we do not intend to
disparage what are undoubtedly honest
and praiseworthY efforts. We do not
suggest remedies. We only note things
which are food for thought.
We spend perhaps five times as much
money. per capita in education than did
our forefathers in the days of the little
red school house. Of course we ought
to have five times as good scholars.
Our educators have progressed to an
educational height in methods and man.
ners of instruction many times higher
than their sforefathers ever dreamed of,
and of course pupils should advance
that much more rapidly and absorb that
much greater quantity.
In those old days birch CAD, or
leather strap was about the only method
teaching" known. Normal schools were
only ideas and kindergartens unheard of.
In most country schools each pupil was
a whole class by himself he studied
reading, writing and ''ciphered' through
the arithmetic without recitation from
one end ofthe book to the other. Gram
mar. history, physiology, and similar
studies were ignored by the average boy
and girl as useless, except as purely orna-
mental branches. Webster's spelling
book and the multiplication table were
memorized, and a black board and die
tionary were no part of a school-room
outfit Three months made the usual
school year. Look back at the rude
school house, methods and facilities and
compare them with those of the present
day, when school rooms are better built
and better furnished than many of the
homes of the pupils. The contrast is
great indeed-but is the contrdst equiva-
lent in the graduates
We certainly, In many ways, have
made the road to learning easy and
smooth. but does the pupil progress
faster, or, if faster, then as fast as he
ought with the increased facilities {
Some pretty good men and scholars

Of seventy-6ye and one hundred years

THE HIDALGO PROPERTIES

Messrs. Mcguire and Pirtle returned last week from their trip of inspection to the mines of the Hidalgo Mining tiOnal. They brought back with them a number of samples from their varI- ous claims, assays of which have been made. The sample from the gold showed 132 ounces silver and S91 .9S gold. The silver-lead samples went 66 ounces silver, 65 per cent lead and 6I5 per cent copper. The samples from the copper property give a return of 1872 per cent copper. These were not picked sam ples. but as near a general average a 5 they could get, and surely make a fine showing.
 It is the intention of the company 90 at present do the largest amount of work on the copper property. The In ternational has information from ex- perienced mining men who are familiar with this copper property, and who are not connected with the company, that 1t presents as large a surface showin., as the Cananea mines.
 Although the company will do some work on the silver-lead property. they will not push it at present, owing tI the unsatisfactory state of the silver market.
 The company now has the camp well established with all necessary supplies and there will not be any halt in tho work of development. S. L. Riley. al experienced miner. is superintendirp the work.

 BARD'S ALFALFA PATCH
When the Senator Thinks the Decline
 of Arizona Began.

Senator B5rds notion expressed in his late interview that the population of Arizona is decreasing is based on single personal observation. In which respect he is like the savage islander tribe that all white men were one eyed. Several years ago before the people of the Salt River valley understood the Limitations of the water supply Senator Bard bought q hale section oi land in the lower part of the valley and plant ed it to alfalfa. A great deal of land between him and the source of the water supply had not been reclaimed and he and all the other settlers in that part of the country had plenty of wat CT. Senator Bard's alfalfa thrived and grew. It was estimated fifteen years ago that his Salt River valley holdings were worth s15.OO0. Soon after that the Arizona Canal company or the i'm provement company which had taken up large areas of land farther up the river began to hold back water which had been flowing down below. It was not all held back at once; just a little at time so that the contraction O. Senator Bard's alfalfa patch was gradual. In the course of five years all the alfalfa was concentrated on a quarter section of land and the desert had resumed the rest or the half sec tion. It continued to encroach upon the Bard alfalfa and MT. Bard began to fully understand the meaning of the desert act' which was being worked upon him,
