THE OLD DISTRICT SCHOOL
It Lays the Foundation For buiia .
 ing a Great Education.
And it is a Crime For District Able to Pay For a Good School to
 Have a Poor One.

It is probable that if the men living together in the same district would cooperate, they could In very short time greatly improve the district school. We need to take more interest in our schools and the right sort of culture for our children.
 The home is an institution of the highest importance Tn bring ing up the youth. Here he learns his first lessons in reverence for the hand painting of the Master, and the school should supplement the home. In our district school the child's outlook is broadened. He learns about the earth, the land, the water, the animals and the people; how necessary every thing is, each to the other; he stud ies history, social and political, history in it's broad sense; he be- comes familiar with high ideals, men like Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Lincoln. This knowl- edge should lay deep moral princi- ples of moral obligation; 1t should lift our young people above par tisanship into true nationality; the pupil should be placed ln sym pathy with all industries, especial ly agriculture, and great force should be lald on the nobility of labor, persistence and the value of time. Some one says our schools do not do this;o then let us work together and make them all we desire.
 Many of our district schools will dwarf the children intellectually and morally, in order to save a few dollars on the teacher salary. It Is crime for district able to pay for a good school to have a poor one.
 The district school is one of the chief pillars that supports the moral structure of our civilization, and let us, as far as possible, place teachers in these schools who are examples of largeness of minds and hearts and character, who have love of justice, whom child ren will respect initiate and honor. Farmers should look at this school question in the true light; they should weigh the value of a good teacher, and the worthlessness of a poor one. Our farmers must come out in the sunlight and do their part in seeing that the young people are trained for citizens who love the truth and justice. The needs of our country are so great that we cannot afford to neglect even the smallest school district in our land. Let the farmers re- member the words of Holland:
 God give us men. A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands,"

A Living Dead" Language.

Here's another new thing about
New York Latin, the pure Latin OF
Cicero and Caesar and Virgil, suppos-
ed to be dead language. is living
tongue in this city, and a mighty use
tut one, too. In all Roman Catholic
colleges and secondary schools Latin
is taught, of course. very thoroughly
and carefully. In many OF these
institutions Latin conversation is
practiced, as it is in Catholic schools
alike in France. Italy, Germany and
Ireland.
. And educated Catholic immigrants,
unacquainted with English, find it pos
sible to get along away from their
own countrymen by the use OF the
common tongue.
For example, the other night re

woman in Brooklyn who spoke 6. no
English German priest. ignorant
of Italian, offered TO held. He found
an Italian boy just two weeks in this
country, hailed him in Latin, and
pressed him in as an interpreter. The
reporter would ask a question in Eng
lish. the priest would turn it anto
Latin, and the boy would put it to the
woman in Italian. The answer would
travel back from italian to Latin and
thus to English. The priest md the
boy kept it up for a quarter of al. hour
and were never stumped once.
