NNTIRE SIIHI.

The question Of teaching agriculture
in the public schools Is II matter which
Is receiving much attention just now
all over the country. We do not In
cline to the belief that 1t Is advisable
to make agriculture one of the fixed
studies, but do believe that course of
nature studies, largely given out of
doors to the pupils, can be made of i'm
mense usefulness. Object lessons on
tree, plant and flower, on the evolu-
ton OF plant life, a knowledge Of the
birds and insects. of the clouds, the
rain, snow and frost, of the winds, Of
the distribution of seeds-in word. Of
all the common things Of life-would
prove most valuable part of the edu-
cation of any child. And it Is kind
OF knowledge which all children are on.
Unused TO have and acquire, never re.
garding the obtaining Of it as in any
sense drudgery.

Need of Sanitary improvements.

While San Angelo 10 all ex-
tremely healthy city, there are
conditions existing within its
borders which are as bad as those
of any place in Texas. It's true
that the number Of these Gun
healthy conditions is small and
do not exist Mt all seasons Of the
year nor in many years. Yet it
is very essential to the good Of
San Angelo that improved sani-
tary conditions be had.
Reference il here made to bad
drainage. This is one Of tho
most important of all times and
DR.. Parsons in his talk before the
council, of which he is member,
Tuesday night struck the keynote
when he said: 81 do not wish to
detract from San Angeles fame
as u health resort. ] do not wish
to cast damper upon the good
work being done in street i'm
provements. | simply want to
say that the sanitary conditions
in this town needs the attention
of the City Council. We ought
to spend good sum of money in
an effort to drain certain portions
of San Angelo rather than seek to
beautfy it. We want to save
those who are sickly. Otherwise
there is no need Of talking the
town us n health resort. "
The Press agrees with DR.. Par
sons and commends HIM TO the
people Of this city for the work
he has done and is yet doing in
regard TO Il better sanitary condi-
ton.

There VIII be no Carnival.

Unless some other and more
successful effort is made IN behalf
of the carnival for 1905 that I'M
portant fall entertainment will
be lacking this year. 1t is with
n great amount of regret that the
Press gives the news Of the deci-
sion of the Business Club to the
people of West Texas this week
The people had come to think
that the fall carnival was per-
manent institution. They had
come to think that San Angelo
could not take step backward
but that all was progress here
They had come to look for the
time when the carnival would be
held with as much pleasure as
they look forward to the Christ
mas holidays. They won't be
able TO understand the situation.
In the opinion of the Press the
people of San Angelo have made
very great mistake in letting
this matter drop. But the argu-
ments have all been made time
and again and there's nothing TO
be gained by reiterating them
now. Those on whom the matter
of supporting the institution de-
ponds have failed to "come
through" and so far as the bust
ness club is concerned the matter
is ended,
Everybody will sooner or later
regret not having the carnival.
This 10 the year of all years
when people should be shown the
country. Home seekers excur-
sions, are perhaps the next best
things to carnivals, but they
can never take the place of form
er fall events. All eyes are turn.

thing we can to get people to
come see, Only by filling up the
country can the present property

San Angelo Reioices Over Double
Daily Train Service.

Last Saturday, the day set a.
part for the double daily train
service to begin on the Santa Fee
west Of Brentwood, was a Joy.
Gus day for San Angelo Some
of her loyal citizens, both ladies
ahd gentlemen secured u train
and put their band aboard and
started to meet the first train
West. They arrived in Miles
somewhat unexpected by our peo-
pie, but their band began giving
us some splendid music, and soon
u good sized crowd had assembled
to greet them. Their band is a
new one, but their music
would reflect credit upon one
much older. After we had listen
ed to few pieces of music. Mr..
G. b. Metcalfe, to whom more
than any one else, the credit for
the extra service is due, gave us
one of his characteristic and high
ly interesting speeches. In the
course Of his remarks, he said. TO
you Miles people is due the credit
manly for our splendid band.
You sent the best band in the
State to our town, and we decided
NJ lies could not remain so far a.
head of us, 80 we went TO work
and secured n fine band for San
Angelo. At this point he was m
terrupted by II citizen who told
him that Miles had two good
bands. Well, he says, we are fol-
lowing after you and hope soon
to be up with you. He continued,
! hope within II few years Miles
will be II larger city than san An
CELLO will he greater than Fort
Worth.
For surely, he said. Miles is the
best town IN the West except San
Angelo. HIS speech was highly
appreciated and met with much
applause.
Among the visitors were Muir

"a Woman's Confessional"

Above is the title of n new
book recently issued by the Life
Publishing Company. 1t IS rath-
or an unusual little volume. The
author, Helen Wolieska as COLA
tor, says: THE woman whose
journal is contained in the fol-
lowing pages died years ago, ]
had the privilege of knowing her
during the last months Of her
life. After her death her few be-
longlngs fell to me. Among them
] found these small, worn vol
umes Of her journals-the record
of an ardent life Her writings
bear witness that she has lived
and loved and erred" They also
indicate the acquiring by bitter
experience of good insight into
human nature. Below we give a
few extracts rom the book:
The aim of living is to enjoy
ones self.
Give yourself to every emotion.
Whatever you may be-be per-
fectly. Whatever you may pos

you may regret--forget perfectly.

If they mistrust you, deceive.
Resignation is only lazincss.

woman he loves and one for the
woman he respects--l will never

1t will be the part of wisdom for the
owners of automobiles to carefully
study the relations which exist be.
tween the man with the machine and
the farmer. There now exists most
implacable hostility on the part of the
farmer toward the machine, which Is
finding expression in every conceivable
manner-in rigid and hampering legis-
lation, In distractions placed on the
highways and In attempts to run into
and lnjure the machines whenever It
can be done with safety. This antago-
nlSm has Its origin largely in the reck-
lcssncss Of few chaulfeurs, the crazy
scorchers who race the highways over
at the limit of their speed and are ut

other lawful users of the highway. The
