Congress has at last enacted law
which bears down heavily on anarchists.
Those who kill or attempt to kill or
aid or abet the killing of the presi-
dent, or any officer in succession to
epresidency, ismade guilty of cap
ital crime punishable by death or long
Imprisonment, and those who advo-
cate or teach such doctrines are sub
ject to Imprisonment. The liberties of
this country shall not longer be taken
advantage of by these destroyers.

That Teaching In Country Schools
Should be Confined to Ele-
mentary Branches.

Read by Ida Mehle at Farmers Institute)
We all know what the elementary
branches are and how useful they are
to the every day man.
The reason for ever studying these
branches will be because all the other
studies depend upon them.
Reading for example is one of the
most essential elementary branches: u
poor reader is indeed poor scholar.
No one will deny the advantage to
be gained from thorough knowledge
of the elementary branches.
One not we'll versed in such will fire.
quently exclaim, "Oh if could only
read and understand the science of
common things"
The great question with the patrons
of our rural schools of today is,
"Where shall we send our children
after they have completed these COM
mon branches
Several townships in this state have
adopted the transportation system in.
stead of sending them to city schools.
Also the independent district system
has been practiced to some extent.
AS these modes have their draw
backs with the patrons, likewise does
the question of teaching higher stud
les effect the teachers.
Some teachers may be adequate to
teach other branches but if they de,
sire to do thorough work, they will
indeed wish the day to consist OF
forty-eight hours instead of twenty.
four and the wages also to increase
in like proportion.
The average attendance in our
rural schools have increased greatly
while the facilities for the comfort OF
the child have decreased and require
the time and attention of the teacher.
Many teachers teachingrural schools
receiving salary from 1872 to 1873 a
month, who have from l to 10 pupils
may be competent to included more
than common studies, while the in
structor having for daily average
from 20 to- IS scholars will find it a
difficult task to teach otherwise.
Will it not be waste of time and
currency to place more than elemen-
tary branches in every rural school?
This question will readily be
answered "Yes'
Then again it is hard to make all
minds grasp the same thing and it is
likewise hard to make one shoe fit
fifty persons.
The minds of the scholars of today
require more mental work than former
ly because the average person OF to-
day lives faster and thus needs more
rapid thinking.
Thus experiences of the teacher in
the elementary branches and reviews
in current events are great helpers in
the work.
A great majority of the students
are not far enough advanced to take
up the other branches.
Shall we then let the pupil drop
these studies for the sake of higher
ones?
Everyone will certainly be in favor
of saying, "Teach the child just to
walk and then it can run at its will.

in the oil business in Louisiana to
consider being a candidate for gov
