Educational Notes.

OF teachers Will be held in
each county on Friday ard Sat.
urday, August 81 and %. All
teachers should note the dates.
The law says ION the fourth
Saturday and preceding Fri
day" and that brings the exam
inatlon a little earlier in August
this year.
There will be something doing
in the educational field in Mis-.
souri, during the months of Sep.
TENDER, October and November.
A three days teachers me citing
will be held in each county.
Every teacher in the State will
attend one meeting. Every
director and patron should do
so. Let complete arrangements
be made early.
The last Legislature left the
text book situation just as it
has been for the past six years.
The contracts Sentered into in
1897 are just as binding now as
they ever were. Publishers
have given bonds to have the
books on sale at two places in
every county of the State.
Failing to comply will forfeit
the bond. On the other hand,
it is illegal to use any other
than the adopted books. 1t is
hoped that teachers, patrons
publishers will all comply
strictly with the letter of the
law. Any failure on the part
of publishers to keep books on
sale, or any attempt to substi-
tute another for the adopted
book should be promptly re.
ported to the State Superintend.
ent of Schools.
At st. Louis for the first time
in an International exhibit, the
department of education will
have a separate building. 1t is
one of the largest and hand
soonest buildings in the Ivory
City at Forest Park and is the
first building to the right com.
ing down from the plaza. In
scheduling the exhibits the
management has wisely assign
ed education first rank, for out
of education grow all the arts
and sciences-through training
of head, hand and heart all skill
and progress in human activ-
tiles become possible. The ed
vocational exhibit will attract
unusual attention at the Uni.
versal Exposition in st. Louis
in 1904. Missouri seems slow
in making a Cbeginning, due to
the extreme care of the commits.
sion in selecting a supervisor.
Let us hope that our State
Educational Exh ibit will be
pushed when the beginning is
made.
New York City has entered
upon a new plan for supplying
it's school children with library
books. 1t has employed a
trained librarian to organize and
supervise the entire matter.
There are about one half million
children in the schools. That
many dollars will be spent for
books. sThey will be classified
by grades and placed in neat
locker that may be moved from
school to school-each teacher
being supplied with a small
library of from two to four
times as many books as she has
pupils. Under the direction of

Can This be True?

The Yakima Republic has come out
against Roosevelt and Mcbride. The
cause is not known by us but presume
bly, the editor wanted that which he
could not get, Perhaps both the Pres
ident and Governor are aware of the
fact that at heart he is a Cleveland
democrat and that he formerly affiliat-
ed with the democratic party So far
as we are personally concerned we see
no reason why Roosevelt and Mcbride
should be turned down, they certainly
appear to be doing the square thing -

AERONAUT IN PERIL.

Seattle.-Prof. Leonard, the aero
naut, who made the balloon ascension
from the Wpodmen of the World car
nival at 8:45 Wednesday night, came
near meeting death in the waters OF
the Sound. His balloon sank to the
water off Galbraith dock, from when
point some fishermen heard the cries
of the aeronaut They went TO his as
sistance in rowboats and readily DIS
covered the balloon, but could not
trace the man.
They gave him up for lost and the
boatmen along the water front VINO
had been warned to keep a sharp
lookout for the balloon became
alarmed for Leonard's safety. In
short time. however, the daring pal
Ioonist was brought 20 shore by
crew from the British ship Belford,
m which he had drifted on a log.
On sinking into the water Leonard
cleared himself from the tangle and
svam to the log, reaching it in an ex-
hausted condition. A carriage, sent
nv the committee from the carniVai
Grounds, conveyed the balloonlst, un-
irinred back to his tent in the carnl-
val Enclosure.

Passing on to the subject of immi-

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge intro
duced a bill in congress a few years
ago to establish a reading test against
all immigrants. That was good SO far
as it went but l would tack another
provision on. | would require every
man. before he got a job, to declare
his intention to become an American
citizen. That would bar out the pig

this provision We could welcome our

INSPECTED COLLEGE LANDS.

President Bryan has returned from
tour of inspection of the lands
owned by the Washington Agricultu-
raj college in Okanogan and Douglas
counties. He said:
q inspected 5000 acres of the col

Brewster fia+, in Okanogan county,
west Of the Okancgan river. These
lands lie on four separate benches
above the river, and are suspectible

covered with sage brush, but the. up
per benches have a fine quality or
bunchgrass growing on them. These
lands have been withdrawn from the
market both for sale and for lease.
Two private companies are now inyes-
tigating The lands with a view TO irri-
eating them by taking water from the
Methow river. The government, I'M
