Think 1t Over.

Do we as a city wish to have
good schools? DO we wish our
children to get the greatest pos
sible good from the instruction
given? If so it would seem that
we should do a little thinking and
reasoning.
The school board is consciously
endeavoring to give. Dickinson as
good schools as any city in the
state can boast. At large ex-
penditure of time and money, one
of the best educators in the state,
a man of large experience and
clear Judgment, has been placed
at the head and a corps Of teach
ers selected who have made a
record as successful instructors. =
But a good superintendent. and
competent, faithful teachers can
not do it all. They cannot make
your boy and mine do good work
when he will not give his mind to
study but is bent only upon mis-
chief and disorderly conduct.
When some where, either lat home
or abroad or from the newspaper,
he gets the idea that his rights
are being trampled on if he is
made to behave himself in school.
This is all wrong. The super.
intendent and teachers should
have the hearty support Of parents
and Others. They are not hired
to conduct a reform school. The
state does that. The children
should be taught at home that
they are to behave in school like
ladies and gentlemen and know
for what they 60 to school, and
parents should find time to visit
the rooms where their children
are and ascertain for themselves
what is their department and
work.
But if it chance that a teacher
finds it necessary to use force to
correct a pupil, what then? In
the olden days parents made it a
rule if a child was punished in
school to administer a second
punishment at home. This may
not be necessary, but all the good
the punishment at school might
do him is lost, if he is made to
feel when he gets outside that the
teacher was in the wrong, that
he did not deserve punishment,
and it will not be allowed again.
He goes back to school on the
offensive to repeat his naughtl-
ness.
There is another side. Shall a
feW-it is usually less than a half
dozen-destroy the order of the
room and keep the large majority
who wish to obey the rules and
learn from getting the most out
of school?
1t is easier to tear down than to
build up. Idle, adverse comment,
repetition of childish gossip con-
corning school matters and taking
a child's part against the teacher,
may destroy the good effect Of

Color Schemes In Building.

Strange how little we Americans do
with color. We have a red brick house
or a yellow brick house with red tile
roof or n green roof, and that's about
the gamut we run. Most beautiful eff
fects can be gained by the use Of enam-
eled cOlors even on fiat surfaces; dainty
patterns can be worked out and bril-
liant yet harmonious effects gained.
Our coloring schemes are tame. We
certainly have much to learn in that re-
spect from the Perslans of old. They
were masters in enamel, and their
work was gorgeous, beautiful. With
US it is lack of taste; 1t certainly is not
lack of material. There are American
makers of tile that produce material
equal to that of antiquity, the richest
colors and the most easily adapted
shapes.-Clay Worker.

The Singing Tree.

The stinging tree of Australia some
what resembles a gigantic nettle. 1t
has an unpleasant odor, and the ma
tives and native animals are careful to
avoid it. When a man is stung by the
tree-or, to put it more prosaically,
pricked by the trees thorn-the little
wound gives him at first no pain what
ever. But In Il few minutes a madden
ing pain is set up; the victim shrieSs
and rolls upon the ground. For months
afterward when water touches the
stung part great agony ensues. Dogs
when stung rush about with piteous
whlnes, biting pieces of flesh from the
place that has been stung.

An exchange very truthfully says
that man who stops advertising is
forgotten about as soon as man who
stops living, and the rapidity with
which the forgetting business gets in
its work after we are out of sight and
the insurance collected, is what makes
some of us want tn live thousand
years. Life is something, however, we
cannot control, that is so far as keeping
it going is concerned. But the power
is in our hands to keep our advertising
going, and just in proportion as we
keep it going it will keep us going
