The Weak Point in Modern Innova-
tions.
No one doubts that knowledge Of,
say. physiology must be Of great use.
But as commonly taught it is Of no use
lat all. The proof Of this is that the
average boy, having wasted many
hours in studying" it, comes away
with about as much knowledge Of the
constitution and functions Of his body
as he has Of astronomy or half i dozen
other subjects supposed I'd be taught iii
the schools BY teachers who IN many
cases have themselves the nerest
smattering. Yet the tendency in the
past has been rather toward an i'm
crease in the number Of subjects
taught than a discreet selection. more
carefully measured and more knowing
~ employed Thus multiplication of
special subjects, with the consequent
need of more teachers, has resulted in
heavier expenses and heavier taxation,
SO that in considering this condition
Mr.. J, M. reenWoed Of Kansas City
chairman of the committee Oh taxa
tion as related to public education,
urges the necessity of abolishing spea
cial teachers, on the ground that they
are ''justitiable only because the teach
ers in charge of the regular classes
have not yet been able to acquire the
technical knowledge necessary to teach
these branches Of study" His belief
is that mo school system is rich
enough to employ enough Of special
teachers to instruct all the pupils SO
that the only apparent way out Of the
difficulty is to educate the teachers.
that besides the ordinary courses they
may be able to give instruction in
physics, drawing, music and heaven
knows what else. The outlook is not
encouraging, If our present teachers
are too often not particularly pro-
found, what are we to expect of
those who have to handle every SUBJ
pect in the complicated curriculum?
Mayor Mcclellan has indicated the
right course under the present circurfl-
stances; namely, to consider what
knowledge is of most worth, what
means will contribute most to the maxi
ing of useful members Of the commune
ity. And if at, present there is grow
ing suspicion among our educators that
the present methods are not the best,
we may conclude with President Max
well that, "far from feeling Concerned
at the widespread discomfort, we Shout
rejoice that it exists. There is noth-
ing so blighting to education enthus-
iasm as SNUG satisfaction with what
is or what has been; there is nothing
so stimulating to educational efforts
as a realizing sense of present imner-
feotions and Of higher possibilities

A NOTABLE PRAYER.

"A Jubilee of a Hundred Years Ago
at jamestown the Occasion.
A gentleman in Raleigh has found in
his library novel story of a novel
celebration d hundred years ago-then
called a jubile, and nowadays known
as an exposition. The story recites the
ceremonies attending the celebration
of the Goth anniversary of the settle"
ment of Jamestown, and is reproduced
to-day because appropriate at this time
when plans are maturing for the ter
centennial of the same event, to be
celebrated along lines commensurate
with our nations progress. The con-
trast is both interesting and instruc-
tive:
due notice having been given Of
the intended celebration, the prepara-
lions commenced on May 10. A packet,
a sloop and schooner had arrived
before the 18th, with bands of must
clans and a company of artillery and
with number of visitors.
'On the 18th the beach began to as
sumo the appearance of a regular en-
campment, from the erection Of tents
for the sale of various articles; and the
scene was agreeably diversified by
groups of beautiful womamen, who
every moment passing from the main
to the island. 1t was not unusual to
see groups of pilgrims stealing away
from the throng and hustle of prep ar
alton, from the wild revelry of joy, and
enthusiasm of satisfied and rapturous
exultatio1b to saunter among the ruins
and converse in fancy amony the
tombs with the illustrious dead, whose
virtues and achievements had furn-
ished the motives for their assemblage.
1t was in the highest degree interest
ing and edifying to trace the effects
proceed upon the minds and faces of the
spectators by the view of these ven
cradle remains Of other times. The eye,
in surveying the ruin of the church
steeple, garlanded to its summit with
irregular festoons Of sn1ilax and ivy,
carried back the mind to the interest
ing incidents and events of the first
settlers.
"a crowd of pilgrims were discover
ed on their hands and knees within
the churchyard, removing the dust and
rubbish from the moulding and mutt
lated tombs, and exploring with anx-
ious though patient curiosity the al
most effaced characters which affec-
ton and piety had sketched there in
the vain expectation that they would
be immirtal.

That the chicago, milwaukee q st.
Paul has definitely decided to utilize
the Matches pass in it's line through
the mountains is the statement Of a
we'll known railroad man VINO has
been working in the eastern part of
the state on the location Of a new
line for several months past, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
''The Milwaukee has selected Matches
pass" said he, land it is also the in
tention of the North Coast road to
use that pass if the line projected by
that company is ever constructed. The
Matches pass is the most feasible To-
cation for a road through the noun
tains at the present time. While the
North Yakima and Valley road has
the situation controlled at the Matches
pass, as far as it is possible for
road to control any mountain pass
under the present federal laws, either
the Milwaukee or the North Coast will
be able to secure a route through
the Matches pass, and it is possible tina
both lines may be able to use this

Valley road utilizes the privileges

DefiIe Act Protects All Roads.
''The present law, governing the use
Of mountain passes by railways known
as the defle act, provides that where
mountain pass is only sufficient for
one right of way, the road constructing
through the pass must permit a com
mon use of its tracks, and that in case
there is only room for one
track through the pass that trackage
must be given to any other road de-
string to come through that pass.

ent time gives assurance of at least
one new transcontinental road for the

prospects that there will be several
others within the next few years.

ed large sums of money in surveying

Other Extravaqances ALLEGED.

Other Extravagances Alleged.
These criticisms do not stop with
the employment of a big array of
legal talent, at a cost which no one
seems to know, but it is now alleged
that nearly $500 of the city's money
was extravagantly wasted by spe-
cial water committee appointed three
or four months ago to secure rights OF
way for the pipe line for Walla Walla's
proposed water system, through lands
between Walla Walla and the pro-
posed intake near Kicker springs
Councilman Glasford was chairman of
this committee, and as such had charge
of the work and the expenditures of
this money. The committee employed
Engineer Sayles and a force of as
sistants to run survey up Mill creek
that had already been made by the
city engineers office under the direc-
ton Of Engineer Thomson, wnen it
was appointed merely to secure rights
Of way through property. In only
few instances We're these rights OF
way secured and these mostly from
farmers who gave them voluntarily
without cost to the city.
One or two other options were Sc
cured, but a report of these have
never been made to the council. The
$500 that was spent in making the new
survey is practically wasted, it is
claimed by those who are conversant
with the engineering side of the water
question. The survey that was made
by the city engineers office under the
direction of Engineer Thomson was
very complete and took the services
Of Engineer Wilson ana 10 other
surveyors nearly two months tc
complete. The maps and profiles on
file in the engineers Office snow the
contour Of the Mill creek basin from
character Of soil through which the
proposed pipe line would pass, prop
erty owners, location Of creek chan
nels, wagon roads, elevations at vari-
Gus points along the line and the
boundary lines of land owned by the
city.
