One Minute Cough Cure gives relief

CONCERNING PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

In theory the work of the school is
to prepare the pupils for the duties
and business of life. At West Point
and Annapolis the cadet is taught the
art of war; The practical efficiency
of his instruction has been shown on
the land and on the sea, and in civil
vacations. So it is with engineering,
polytechnic, and schools in general for
special instruction. Probably the
West Point pupil is the best trained
man in the country. He has learned
the arts of war and peace, is prepared
to serve his country effectively and is
equipped for civil occupations and the
management of great enterprises.
Many of the operations of war are
also the works of peace.
The efficiency of the pupil means
efficiency in the instructor West
Point methods cannot be introduced
into the public schools; the underly
ing principle of West Point instruc-
ton can be followed in the public
schools, and because it is not practiced
to any reasonable extent is the reason
why public education, and in Vermont
| in particular, is for the most part a
wretched failure, in city, village or
rural precincts, in high school, academ-
ic, or collegiate instruction.
The State expends some thousands
of dollars yearly to save the funeral
expenses of three "normal " schools.
These institutions graduate yearly
classes of normally instructed pupils
in theory, prepared to begin the work
of instruction in the public schools of
the State; in fact, indifferently we'll
educated common school graduates,
fairly well fitted to begin the work of
studying the art of teaching others.
How many of these normal school
graduates, or the graduates of any
normal school, are in service in this
State, in the rural or village districts,
or in the high or graded schools? How
many in the Montpelier schools?
If West Point and Annapolis did moi
show better returns, at the times wher
the efficiency of the instruction at the
government schools has been put tt
the test, how long would they endure
They would speedily be overhauled
"from turret to foundation stone. ~

TO GO AGAINST RECORD
DAN PATCH, DAN r.. AND PRINCE
ALERT MAY PACE HERE.
Three-Cornered Match Race Aban-
doned and Record Trials Are Now
Being Considered.

Charles Downing, secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture. said yesterday that
the executive committee of the board had
about given up hopes of securing a three
cornered match race for the state fair
next September between Dan Patch, Dan
r. and Prince Alert, three kings Of the
offer for such a race. but Mr.. Savage.
owner of the champion Dan Patch. has
written that he will not enter Dan Patch
in any races this season, as he intends to
use him for exhibition purposes only. Mr..
Savage says he will bring his champion
PAGER to indianapolis to go against the
worlds record If suitable inducements are
offered, but he must be permitted to give
his trial on Friday of the week set. Mr..
Savage added that Patchs driver wore
number Is, and he expects Dan Patch to
set a mark of 1:57 this season, which fig
ures. added, make thirteen.
Secretary Downing says the executive
committee is now considering having Dan
Patch, Dan r. and Prince Alert pace
against the record in exhibition miles dur
ing the next fair. 1t is the plan to have
Dan r. try for new record on Thursday
of state fair week. Dan Patch on Friday
mittee will probably offer a large sum to
the PAGER that lowers the record on the
Indianapolis track. The three kings of
PAGERS trying for a record the same week
on the same track would attract as much
interest as a three-cornered match race
between them. The horses named are all
Indiana bred, and this fact would attract
thousands of people to the track.
Dan r. is now at the Indianapolis track,
and is rapidly getting into condition for the
seasons campaign down the Grand Circuit
Float Jolly has the wonderful PAGER in
charge, and is working him out every day.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, May 12.-Fate has
been cruel to the Purdue baseball team this
season, and 1t looks now as II the end OF
the season would see the nine composed en-
tirely of new men and substitutes. Yester-

hospital for four weeks with typhoid-pneu-
but will not be able to play this year. There
are several others on the team who have
conditions hanging over their heads. and the
faculty probably will prohibit them playing
until their work is made up. Captain Les
lit was kept ont of the game for few days
by faculty orders, but by trying a test was
allowed to play again. Yesterday Coach
Kelsey ordered another shake-up. but the
change probably will not strengthen the
nine to any extent. Cook. who was placed
at shortstop last week. was returned to the
catcher's box. and Witt. who has been
catching. went to short. Cohen was put on
third in splace of Kelsey. who has a bad
