Samuel effected this constitutional
charge with the master hand of a
statesman. He was the Cavour of
Canaan. He secretly advised and
strengthened the candidate to the
throne. He gave no public intimation
of his knowledge of who the can
didate was He allowed the lotcasting
to go on without foreshadowing the
inevitable outcome. He faithfully
warned Israel of the historic dangers
of monarchy, and uncovered the sin
fulness of motive in desiring this
change. He announced the limitations
under which the king might reign,
and make this a matter of record. 1t
has been we'll said, no man ever resign
ed the first power of the State into
other hands with so much courtesey,
tenderness, dignity, and grace. 1t was
the highest possible tribute to the in
tegrity, patriotism, and capacity of
Samuel that the people intrusted the
proposed change implicitly to his
hands.

THE TEACHERS LANTERN
A review of the new quarter may
we'll be taken at this point. The les
sons are in the First Book of Samuel.
In the earliest Hebrew manuscripts,
the two books appear as one. They
are a very ancient and interesting
mosaic of prose and poetry, incident,
biography, history, ode. The compo-
site authorship is evident, from the
several instances in which two ac-
counts of the same event is given, as
we'll as from other signs which one
does not need to be literary critic to
discern. This generally admitted
fact, does not at all affect the genuine
worth of the writing, which is one OF
the most ancient, natural, and beau
tiful contributions to literature.
On the background of the narrative
three great characters stand in higf
relief, Samuel, Saul, and David. Aside
from personal qualities of one il
whose person one line close and an
other begins. He is last of judges
first of prophets. The same interes'
attaches to Saul, first of kings. His
madness makes an interesting stud.
in psychology. Browning describe
him in word as gigantic and black

shepherd boy, warrior king, and poe

A. R. McCook, Student and Educator.

There is no higher mission for man
then to be an educator of his fellow
men. One OF the thinkers of the past
generation said: "The exact measure
Of the progress Of civilization Is the
degree in which the intelligence Of the
common mind has prevailed over
wealth and brute force; in other
words, the measure of the progress OF
civilization is the progress OF the peo-
ple."
The precious legacy the present
generation is enjoying and profiting
by is the cumulative wisdom of the
past, stored IN books and handed down
to the present, enabling it to stand
on the shoulders of the preceding
generations. To be servicable as
public educator, 1t is essential that
one be not only student of the books
which record the achievements of the
past, but he must be apt Ia applying
their lessons to the uses aud needs of
mankind Extensive reading, watch
full observation and a careful study OF
the diversities Of the human mind
places A. r. McCook in tine front rank
among educators.
The realm ofan Educator like that
OF the Judiciary is, and should be, en-
tirely separate and distinct from par
tisan politics. They owe their ser
vices entirely to the public and not to
party. While there is not parti-
san or political function pertaining
to the duties of either Office. the only
means Of getting their names before
the people is a, party nomination.
which is regretablc.
This nomination came to Mr.. Nc
Cook entirely unsolicited, and in re
cognition os his superior fitness, his
high personal character, combining
as they do, the essential elements Of
the successful educatsr. Though COM
paratively young man, he has been,
a popular and successful instructor in
the schools of the state, earning and
obtaining first grade certificate be-
fore he was nineteen years of age.
With too m any when they reach this
degree Of success their efforts end.
With him they had just begun and to-
day he is just as dilligent and per-
sistent in the pursuit of his studies
in all branches OF literature aud sci
ence as when he arst engaged in their
pDrsuit,
As a lecturer he is not unknown.
His lecture 'sLtterature as an educat-
orr anksas q gem in the lecture field,
having uhe unanimous endorsement
Of press and pulpit. He is now prin-
Ictpal OF the public school at Elma, in
this county, and is held in high es-
TEEN, as well for the purity OF his
private life and his personal charac-
ter, as for the other attributes OF
which we have spoken.
This is feeble tribute to and por-
traiture OF the person whom the In
telligent and independent voters of
Iowa can elevate to an Office, the du-
ties Of which are superior to the
claims Of party or creed, and which
office In Mr.. McCook's hands would be
conducted entirely In the public in.
