bread, but too much of the time is
wasted with needless studies, and the
child fails all along the line.
This subject is of more importance
than all other matters before the pub
lie. and is the least written about.
The vast majority of so-called grad
yates of colleges or universities are
entirely ignorant of business. They
can humble over few words of Latin
or Greek, but cannot pass an examina
ton in the common English studies.
Give the child a good dose OF vigorous
English and sweeten it with mathe-
matics and the sciences along with
bookkeeping and civil government,
and he won't find time for any other
language The dead languages are for
the dead, and should find no place in
the course of study in our public
school, The diplomas given certify
that the student is finished product,

is not one-half grown.

OPPOSES De HART
MF. Higgins Asks Mr. Do Hart to Stand up
and Defend His Attitude Toward
the South

Editor independent: 1t will perhaps
appear preposterous for an old man,
unlettered and untutored. except in
the hard battle of life on the frontier,
to cross pens with the educated Jno.
S., De Hart of New Jersey.
To me it seems that Mr.. De Hart
is advising at long range in matters
of the south. For more than fifty
years the northeasterners have been
adyising-and more-meddling with
southern affairs. Out of this thing
grew the great civil war. But for this,
slavery would have been abolished
without rivers of blood, and debt
entailed which has virtually made
bond slaves of the producers of the
whole nation, white as well as the
dark-skinned.
These same long range advisors had
the opportunity after the war to dem
onstrate practically their superior wis
dom and philanthropy, which demon
stration gave the southern people an
object lesson that will not be forgot
ten for many generations yet to come.
From the trend of Mr.. De Hart's
writings, one must believe that he
would both Yankeeize and republican
ize the south-a forlorn hope. Again,
one must believe that his object is TO
control the southern states, much
more than it is to bring reform to a
trust-cursed people. If not, why not
defend the protective system, which
is today rob5ing about ninety per
| cent of all the people, instead of hold
| ing out the delusion of controlling the
south through the same corrupt meth
DDS which have put the west under
tribute to the great combines, Duilt up
and fostered under robber tariff sys-
TEN?
That Mr.. De Hart's plan of control
| is feasible, is unquestionable. An
ignorant, gullible, purchascable voting
population such as the negro only
lacks the stimulus of large corrup-
tion fund which the protected inter-
ests are ready to put up at all times
and under all conditions to control.
We have ample evidence with those
not so ignorant.

Of tho Present System
Editor Independent: Not long since
I read a criticism of the public
schools by a gentleman from Mary
land, who wished to see the public
schools abolished entirely.
The gentleman gave many good rea-
sons for doing away with public edu-
cation, but no reason given was of
such Importance as to PROVE conclu-
sively that all is wrong.
That the schools should be taken
entirely away from university and
college influence is very true; and un-
less it is done. much of the usefulness
of the system will. be lost.
At the present time in most Of the
states the work in the high schools
is to fit a student for college or uni
versity to the neglect of the work
that should be done.
The course of study used in the
schools of Nebraska passes over all
the common branches of education,
such as arithmetic, United States his
tory, geography English grammar,
physiology, orthography, reading and
penmanship, when the child is Is or
IA years of age. Then we notice four
years of the high school course dur
ing which time Latin is taught "a
times as long as bookkeeping or civil
government, 16 times as long as alge-
bra, geometry, chemistry or botany;
and IL times as long as ancient his
tory or literature.
The above time is taken from a
program of exercises used in the pub
lie school in city in an adjoining
county.
Now, any one who will stop for a
moment and think, will say that no
child can finish the common branches
SO as to be passed from them entire
ly at the ripe age Of IA years; and in
proof of this will say that ! have per-
Sonally questioned score or more
graduates who could not answer one
half of the questions asked them in
history, grammar, geography or arlth-
metic. In fact | find that great ma
jority cannot pass examination for a
certificate to teach, although their di-
ploma" obtained from the high schools
certifies that the student has grad
udCCQ lIOIl dll Lie UTduCHcS uCCCoodiy
to pass for first grade certificate.
The child is pushed along to gain
credits for the university and rot CIV
en- thorough drill in any branch. To
see the writing and spelling or hear
the reading of these so-called grad
uates will convince any thinker that
the school as now conducted is fail
ure. The public school is for all chill
dren, rich or poor, and should fit the
students for business. A vast major
ity of parents are too pool to send
their children to college, and expect
the common school to fit the students
for work; but they find that if they
want their children to take up any
business, the children must be sent TO
a normal school to be taught that
which should have been given them
at home.
The children spend time enough, we

THE LARGE TENT BLEW OVER
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS CON.
VENTIoN WAS IN SESSION..
Eight Thousand in the Tent-No One
Was Seriously Hurt-Presence Of
Mind of Mr.. Ramsey of Chicago in
Having convas Held Up Averted
Suffocation-People in Panic.

Denver, Col, July 15.-The big ten
Endeavor, where the Christian En-
deavor convention has been held fol
the past four days, was blown ovel
at o'clock in the afternoon, while
more than 5000 people were attending
the proceedings. The injured mum
bered nearly score, but fortunately
none of them were seriously hurt.
Mrs. Jesse M. Thornburg Of Denver
was the most seriously injured, hel
nose being badly gashed and her scalI
suffering several wounds.
The presence of A. M. Ramsey Of
Chicago, who sprang to chair and
called to the people to hold up the
canvas and poles, undoubtedly pre-
vented danger Of suffocation, but as
1t was, many women tainted, and were
extricated from the folds Of the can
vas with difficulty.
Mrs. Winifred Sleep of Denver, who
was in charge of st. Marks hospital
tent, seeing the catastrophe at the big
tent, telephoned the electric company
to shut off the current. This pre-
vented any damage being done by live
wires for, Of course, they fell with
the poles.
A feature which showed the religious
spirit of the participants was seen
when the majority were extricated
from the canvas folds. Lead by an
eastern delegate, all gathered around
in the open air and an impromptu
praise service was held in the open
air.
The convention was in full progress
at 4 o'clock, and, although there were
signs of rain and some wind was blow
ing, no trouble was anticipated by
the management.
The sides Of the tent were up to ad
nit air, and this enabled the squat
to lift up the big canvas as IL it were
a balloon. The gust of wind which
carried over the tent came so sud
denly that no preparation could be
made to forestall the consequences.
The wind swept under the tent, the
roof of which Immediately bellied out
like an immense sail, and it was seen
that the poles were being drawn from
the ground. The smaller guy poles
gave the first intimation of danger to
the throng, being pulled from the
ground.
Immediately the 5000 people were
in a panic, which the screaming of
the women accentuated. 1t was then
that Mr.. Ramsey sprang to chair
and loudly called on the men to hold
up the canvas and catch the large sup
porting poles as they fell and avert
the danger. Hundreds of men sprang
to their feet and successfully carried
out the Chicago mans suggestions,
and consequently no one was injured
in this way.
AS the tent fell, nearly 1000 people
were seated near its walls, and these
people Immediately formed themselves
into a reserve corps. The hospital
tent was speedily filled with women
who had tainted and those who were
suffering from slight injuries.
