Zola. the great French novelist and es-
sayist, has allowed the whole world 20
know through the pages of the Jour
nal des Goncourt" that some OF the
happiest days of his notable life were
those spent long ago in a Partisan gar
ret. There he lived and worked on the
seventh floor In downright Grub street
fashion. For view from his high little
| window there was nothing except roofs
or other poor houses and the smoke and
CRIME that one might expect In such
circumstances. There he worked. sur
rounded by only the bits OF furniture
absolutely necessary TO existence.
He had not always in his possession
the twopence wherewith TO buy can
die that would enable him to continue
his labor on his epic poem entitled
Genesis. Humanity and the Future"
through the night. yet he dares to risk
ridicuie and all else by stating that he
was supremely happy amid all the
hardships and privations of those early
days.
Anthony Hope, one OF the most gifted
ana famous among modern British au-
thors. the writer OF the Dolly Dia-
logues' and several successful plays
occupied until recently n high room
Z.
was situated in Buckingham street, OF
the Strand, London. and there ne did
the great bulk of the writing that has
gone out into the world to cheer those
among others who lounge i'm the easy
chairs of luxurious drawing rooms.
1t must not be imagined that Mr..
Hope worked where he did from rea-
sons associated with economy. This is
far from the case, as a glance at a list
or the donations and subscriptions he
regularly makes on behalf of less sue
cessful brothers and sisters would am
ply prove. The undoub,ed reason for
his garret quarters was his happiness
in being there; his superstition. so to
speak, for being in a place where that
rare inspiration of his knows where to
| find him.

his first days In London were spent

In How to Teach the Teachers" Pro-
fessor 8. q. Williams in 1894 told the
assembled seekers after truth that the
purpose Of pedagogy lis TO prepare the
mind and heart of the future teacher
that he may readily receive the entire
boy into school and that in teaching
him he may so bear I'm mind what the
future man would wish TO be that he
may truly represent that coming man
in the boy"
IL was decided in the discussion anent
the little red schoolhouse.' or the
country school, that good morals and
good manners constitute an essential
part of an educational equipment. The
incubation OF patriotism, of respect
for law and order of whatever tends to
make a good citizen. is of as much inn
portance in small as in a large school.
Regularity. punctuality. obedience. self
control. are as necessary in the country
as in the city school"
1t will be noted by these excerpts
from reports Of previous meetings that
the associated teachers do not waste
their time in discussing abstract the
ories, but get right down TO business or
plane where all may understand.
Some OF the topics in the forthcoming

the profession have been added TO its
membership. Many associations have
been formed for the Improvement OF
pedagogcs i'm this country. beginning
| with the first convention OF Massachu-
setts towns i'm 1647, but the first steps
| looking toward a really national or
ganization were those taken in 1857 at
| Philadelphia. The movement was ini-
tiated under the name of the National
l Teachers association, but in 1870 was
reorganized as the National Education
| al association.
Conventions have been held at impor-
tant points in the country from the At
laftic to the Pacific-in Philadelphia,
| Cincinnati Washington. Buffalo, CHI
cago. Ogdensburg, Harrisburg, Indian
apolis. Nashville. Trenton. Cleveland
st. Louis, Boston. Elmira. Detroit. Min

Los Angeles and Charleston. Thus the
members who have availed themselves
OF the reduced fares TO the various con-
vention cities have presumably received

listening to the discussions that take
place between the leading lights of the
pedagogic world and the papers that
are read.
In this connection II may be re-
marked that this educational associa-

country. This corporation is said to
have secured a charter under the
general corporation act of New Jer-
sey. with a nominal capital of 3d.

of s45, 900, 900. for the purpose of estab-
fishing a great central depository in
the city of New York, with branch
banks in every city of Importance In
the United States. The general plan,
as outlined in a circular issued some
time ago is that which has been for
many years i'm vogue with success In
Great Britain.
The originator of the American
scheme, however, s. u. Scudder. an
eminent financier OF New York, asserts
that he intended by his circular letter
only to ascertain the prevailing opin-
ions OF banking men on this subject,
and at most the plan should be consid-
cred as merely experimental or tenta-
tive.
Whether the proposition shall be taxi

pended. like Mohammed's coffin, in mid
air there is no doubt az to the interest
II has awakened In the public mind. 1t
Is the conception Of n master mind in
financiering circles and. though it's re-
puted author may disclaim any serious
intention. the scheme is too obviously
in line with the trend of monetary
movements In this country at this time
to be dismissed with mere mention.

Bates county land is much too
low. Land buyers from other states
recognize this, and as "a consequence,
more farms have changed hands this
spring and summer than ever be-
fore Ill tine same length of time, barr
ing the Scully purchases. The same
lands that are now selling for from
$25 to $50 per acre will, in a few
years, command from $50 to SIS.
There will be no change in the po-
litical complexion of Bates county so
long as the democratic party contin-
ues TO conduct her affairs as in the
past, The county is out of debt,
with money in the treasury, taxes
are low; the officers have always
been, and will continue courteous
and accommodating to all and scru-
pulously honest in the handling of
public monies. Our county courts
have been economical, while not par
simonious and have kept up public
improvements to compare with the
progress and development of the
county. The ticket nominated this
year will compare favorably with
any ever nominated in the county.
The people OF Bates county are in
telligent and conservative and are
not easily stampeded. They would
require a good and sufficient reason
for a change, and up to date: there

vanced why the republican ticket
should succeed. We will not lose a
