Advantages of Country Training for Boys.

When a child grows up in the country, it gets
a natural training in accurate observation. It
wants to find a four-leaf clover; it runs to see
where the green snake went to; tracks the wood
chuck to it's hole and gets it out; it learns the
songs of the birds, and knows when the smelts
run up the brooks and when the twilight is just
right for finding the cartridges. In short, the
country child gets naturally a broad training in
observation. 1t also has on the farm an admira-
bic training in manual labor. From an early age
it can actually contribute to the care of animals,
the successful conduct of the household, and the
general welfare of the family. In the city all this
natural training is lacking, and substitutes for it
have to be artifcially provided. This necessity
has brought into our schools nature-study and
manual training, to teach the child to use it's eyes
and it's hands, and to develop it's senses and it's
muscular powers; and these new benefcent agen-
cies in education, already we'll in play, are in the
near future to go far beyond any stage at present
reached. We do not yet see how to replace in
urban education the training which the farmers
boy or the seacoast boy gets from his habitual
contest with the adverse forces of nature. The
Colts Island boy, on the coast of Maine, goes out
with his father in the early winter morning in a
half-open sailboat to visit their lobster traps and
bring home the entrapped Holsters. They start
with a gentle breeze and a quiet sea, though the
temperature is low. The boy knows just how to
steer the boat five or six miles to sea, where the
traps are sunk on some rocky spot which the lob
sters love-. The father is busy pulling the traps.
The boy watches the weather, and suddenly he
says, "Father, there is a Northwestern coming. See
the clouds driving this way over the hills" The
boy knows just as we'll as the father what that
means. It means a feartuI beat of windward to
home, facing a savage wind and a falling tenn
the spray dashing over the vessel and
freezing to the sails and ropes and loading down
the bow with ice. 1t means a life-and-death
struggle for hours, the question being, Shall we
into harbOr or not before we sink? Now, that
is a magnificent training for a boy, and the shell
tered city offers nothing like it. The adverse
forces of nature, if not so formidable that men.
cannot cope with them, are strenuous teachers;
but in modern cities we hardly know that the
wind blows, or that the flood is coming, or that
cold is imperiling all animal Efe.-Pres1-
dent Eliot.

One hundred and fifty primary

These appointments are based up
on the result of the examina-

ter into the work. The primary
teachers will be divided into three
classes, at salaries of $35, $40

The Indian Territory is con
fronted with an unpleasant condi-
ton relative to statehood. Okla
homa wants immediate statehood
and no one can blame her. The
Indian Territory however, must
either come in with her or submit
to the peice meal absorption plan.
Single statehood friends in both
territories may as we'll get TO-
gether for fight to the finish and
demand admittance next winter
along with Oklahoma. This can
and will be done if united, intelli.
gent action is taken. The Indian
Territory ought to have statehood
but the Interior Department will
oppose it and the attitude Of the
administration is hardly known.

Of the Kansas City Star it seems prop

for postage Though it receives daily
the full news reports Of the Associat-

organization in the world-it receives
ia addition such an abundance OF
special dispatches that it is the

The starts an achievement that is
only possible when the friendship and
appreciation of the reading public is
attracted and maintained upon a
great scale. A multitude OF readers,
making the advertising space valuable
to merchants and manufacturers and
thereby producing the large revenues
necessary for the expense OF publish
ing such paper, can be obtained
only by years OF persistent endeavor
to improve and develop the publica-

bilities. That. in brief, has been the
history OF the Kansas City Star. From
the day it earned its first profits u
has steadily turned back It's revenues
into improving its quality and scope
This policy, consistently adhered to
for t@enty-two years, has brought its
reward. The Kansas City Star is now
unquestionably the Great Newspaper

circulation, in proportion TO the pop

Another gem equally as interesting
and culled from the same sheet. reads
