Educational Notes.

Happily the sentiment is to-
wards consolidation of school
districts rather than division.
In may localities, districts are
asking to be partitioned and
parts to be attached to adjoin-
ing districts. This should be
encouraged and may be done
by the several districts votin &
to change boundary lines so as
to include the parts respectful
ly, if the district partitioned
votes in favor of it.
A district having population
and wealth enough to maintain
a school of two or more de-
partments is fortunate because
better grading and classified
ton may be had and higher

Made a Glorious Folk ShOuter, But Thea
Came the Inevitable, as
With Blair.

Once again has the Holy of
Holy Circles of Joseph W. Folk
been reut in twain by a vile
hypocrite. To place it mildly.
Mr.. Folk has been exceedingly
unfortunate 10 his selection of
friends aud trainers.
The latest runs about like
this: James L. Carlisle was
first deputy constable of Saint
Louis. then a deputy sheriff,
then a jury commissioner, then
a recorder of voters and then
postmaster.
Carlisle, like Blair, has been
making good government"
speeches, and was placed as a
candidate on the Folk ticket in
the twenty-fourth ward; but,
all that is changed, the mask
has been torn off and the hide
Gus character laid bare.
He was a memb of the Meth
odist church and popular Sun
day School Superintendent.
One day he needed money
that was Blair's ix-and he
borrowed &c. 900 from his friend
W. T. Anderson, giving a mort
gage on his residence and asked
Anderson as a friend not to
file mortgage, because it would
injure business prospects. His
friend complied with request.
Carlisle then parted with the
property leaving Anderson ir
the soup.
Although Mr.. Anderson was
a brother Mason he became hot
under the neck.band and nov
Mr.. Carlisle has been bounced
out OF the church; aud, by th'
way, Carlisle's fertile, trick,
brain assisted largely in Great
ing the disgraceful scenes a

men, who cause religion to b
a laughing stock and "Christ
ians" to be a by-word.

FOLK A FALSE ALARM.

Chillicothe Democrat.
Some of our esteemed con-
temporaries appear to think
that we are unduly harsh in our
criticisms of Mr.. Folk, says the
Glasgow Missourian. We have
neither vilified or abused Mr..
Folk, but we have said, and
still say, that of all candidates
in the field to-day, Mr.. Folk is
the leas qualified for the posi-
ton of Governor. We emphat-
ically deny the assertion re-
peatedly made by Mr.. Folk,
that the whole state is perme-
ated with corruption and that
he (Folk) is the only man in the
state capable of coping with
the situation. Frankly we re-
gard Mr.. Folk as a political
humbug. AS a prosecutor oi
boodlers, Folk doesn't begin to
compare with General Grow,
though in making this asser'
ton we have no desire to de-
tract from the work done by MIR
Folk.

pupils advance training at

children must go three miles to

the best educated men and |
women done that in the past?
Let all insist on having larger
and better schools. A child
can afford to go twice as far for
twice as good school.
A young teacher asks, IF I
tell the boaro a month before

they any right tonforce me to
stay and finish the SCHOOL,"
Iuvert the question and it is
answered, IF the board tells
the teacher a month before
hand that they will not want
her services, has the teacher a
right to finish the contract of
force the board to pay for the
timer A contract is as bind
lag one party as the other and
it can not be set aside without
consent of both parties.
Mothers seldom realize what
influence they exert on the d is
cipline of the school by words
dropped here and there in the
presence of their children.
Ooedient, faithful, trustful
children in school but reflect
the home relations. On the
other hand, indifference, ipdo-
lence and sometimes insolence,
on the part of a pupil may be
traced to weak discipline or
wrong teaching at home. Hap

Looking Upward.

Oh my Beloved, 1 am sad tonight
Feeling my love less pure
than it should be!
For little thoughts of self
steal silently
Sometimes between thine i'm
age and the light.
Oh, were there aught more sa-
cred in thy sight
Than my warm woman love,
I'd give it thee;
Silence, or sacrifice or ecstasy
OF mystic contemplation's
holy flight
Is there some purer name than
Love, that so
My soul may call thee in her
secret prayer?
Brother, or Friend, or aught
I DO not care,
So it be dear as that l would
forego.
But | should call thee Love
again, know,
Feeling thy kisses on my'face
and hair!
