The French system of education is
intensely national. It's plan is exactly
the opposite from OWL school sys-
TEN. With US the local community
controls primary schools. In Ffance
the local community has no voice j u
the matter. The French system is the
most centralized, the most strictly reg
ulated, the most autocratic and the
fartlest removed from democratic
IDEAS of any school system in existence.
The exact uniformity Of the schools is
almost unbelievable. The minister OF
instruction, sitting in his office in Paris,
can tell at any d J'nent just what faple
of La E'ontaine each child Of a certain
age throughout the whole Of France
is recitiug. Teachers are not allowed
any latitude at all. The result is to
leave both teachers and scholars al
most completely lacking in mental
originality.-I'. A. Vanderlip in Serb,

Making Fire,

When it is considered how old the
worlds civilization is it seems surpris-
ing that man should have only so very
recently learned how to make fire easl-
". The primitive flint and steel meth
cd is practically but Of the last gen
Grafton, and that does not appear so
very far ahead of friction with wood.
It is not astonishing, on the whole,
that savages should commonly sup
pose that fire really exists in wood
and stone since it is from these every
day materials that they secure a por-
ton Of Prometheus' precious theft
from heaven.

Teachers Meeting.

The teachers of Scotland and Vi
entity assembled at the Pubic
school building on Saturday at 2
D. m. The attendance was rather
small on account of the meeting
having been postponed several
times, however, a lively interest
was manifested on the part of those
present and a profitable time was
spent. County Superintendent
Robinson was present and con
Quoted the meeting.
The program AZ published sever
al weeks ago was given with the
exception of the paper by Miss Do
ra Gum. Miss Searles read a pa
per on "Phonics." This was quite
generally discussed, bringing out
the Importance of early and con-
tinual training along that line
throughout the grades. Mrs. Mil
Ter presented some interesting ideas
on teaching Geography especially
in the lower grades. Miss Sim
mington gave some emphatic
points on "Thoroughness," show
ing that the work of each grade de-
ponds largely upon the thorough
ness of the work in the preceding
grades. "How to Interest Pupils
in the School Library" was inter
estingly discussed by Miss Anna
Maywal3. Mr.. Sherwood gave a
talk on Percentage, Illustrating his
method with a series OF problems
on the board. Miss Lottie Ardery
gave a recitation in her usual
pleasing manner, winning the APP
/ plause of her listeners.

There are woodlands in market here
with timber enough to pay for the

At the late Forestry Congress some
very interesting facts were brought
out. 1t was shown there are over 2S2,
1000 miles of steam r. r. tracks in the
United States that these with the nu-
merous trolly lines and private roads
at mines shops and have in use one
billion e-hundred-million ties. One
tenth OF these ties must be replaced
each year and the annual outlay for
ties and timbers for stations. plat
forms, bridges, cars telegraph poles
and for all these roads exceed in aggre
gate the sum of the income from all
the gold mines in the world. All of
the material is perishable and must
be replaced from time to time. In
Europe steel ties are used to some ex-
tent for roads equipped with small en-
gines and light cars. If steel ties were
put under our heavy engines and cars
much heavier rails wonld be required
and then on solid base the great
oguls' would pound them selves tic
pieces in a short time, whatever is
| used for ties must have all the elastic
! ity of timber. so we see the demand
| for timber ties must continue and fol
some years continue to increase from
the building of new roads. Is it not
time for American land owners to
plant trees and capitalists to invest
in timberedl lands?

SOME WEATHER STATISTICS.
[By W. G. Van Nessl

There are two thermometers that are
used to make the government records
at the college. The thermometer that
records the low temperature is an al
cohol thermometer. In this there is
a pointer that moves down but does
not move up, as the tie mperture rises,
SO that this instrument records the
lowest point to which temperature has
fallen since the last reading. The Their
emometer used for recording the
highest temperature rof the day is a
mercurial thermometer. This is SO
constructed that the column of mer-
curry can rise but cannot go down. So
this marks the highest point reached.
These instruments are required to be
placed four feet above the ground, at
some distance from all buildings and
enclosed in little house of lattice
work, so that they will not be affected
by the direct rays of the sun or any
rejecting heat. They are read and set
each day at sunset. So all records
give the highest and lowest temperate
ure i'm the y hours before sunset of
each day. The temperature at sunrise
is also recorded.
The recent cold weather has called
to mind the temperature which we
experienced in other years. The re-
cord made by the government Their
mometers at the college is complete
from October 1898. Statements of the
temperature previous to that must rely
upon the memory and the registration
of sordinary thermometers. However
the ordinary thermometer is not very
correct and the mercury is frozen at
80. 2. 1t is safeto say that the temper
allure registration by mercurial Their
mometers below 3S are not reliable.
The government thermometers which
are kept at the college are very care
i fully made foricorrect registration. Be

of days in December, January and

Robert Armstrong, formerly journ-
alist of note. and later Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury. has resigned his
office to accept the presidency of a
casualty company l., New York City.
He will be succeeded by James B.
Reynolds, of Massachusetts. The
statehood bill passed the Senate last
week, and is now awaiting action by
the House. In the final consideration
by the Senate the plan of joint state
hood for Arizona and New Mexico was
abandoned, and Arizona will be shut
out from the sisterhood Of states for
some time to come. Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. however, will prob
ably be admitted jointly by the House.
The fate of New Mexico when the bill
comes to the House is somewhat un
certain, inasmuch as the speaker is
opposed to single statehood for that
state and members are disposed to re-
gard the agreement made last spring
with the late Senator Quay, in which
joint statehood was pledged.
The final act in the prosecution of
postal fraud conspirators who stirred
up recent postal Investigations was en-
acted this week when A. w. Machen
and Croft Brothers were manacled and
taken to Moundvllle, West Virginia, to
begin their two year sentence in the
penitentiary at tn Ut place, in expiration
of their conspiracy to defraud the gov
eminent The Croft Brothers are ad-
vanced IN years, and have enjoyed a
good reputation during their long and
successful business careers, and hence
they are receiving some public sympa-
thy. In the case of A. w. Machen, who
is still youthful, robust and corpulent
there is less sympathy exhibited, as he
is regarded az fit subject for the ven
geance of outraged civic virtue. He
typifes the pompous and confident pol
itician of the practical and offensive
species, who defy all efforts to cleanse
the public service and the administers
tion of public affairs 1t is hopes and
expected that his fate may deter Others
so inclined from attempting to profit il
a pecuni larry sense from the lack of vigi
lance by the public, and the pecEliari
ties of the political system under which
they live. During the early stages Of
the postal Investigation Machen openly
detied the government to prosecute him
evidently thinking his political prestige
and intrenchment would hold in checl
the operation of the law.
