TRAVEL ON CONTINENT.
Some Points Of Difference raarr.d
by an American Girl
Abroad.

Novel as railway classification IN
England had seemed to the American
girl. she found its peculiarities more
marked on the continent. She had
found it possible to travel in great
comfort third-class in Great Britain
after the first shock was over. and
when she was told that she would not
be. able to travel that way in France
she secretly set 1t down to British
rrejudice.S Her first experience showed
her. however. that French second class
vas barely the equivalent of British
third-class. A regard for cleanliness.
to say nothing of comfort, precluded
any idea of getting into one of the
bare and crowded third-class coaches.
yet even here one was not at the
bottom of the scale, for on some rail-
way lines there were fourth-class
coaches. Few persons apparently
travel frst-class, for these coaches are
frequently vacant when the rest of the
train Is taxed to its utmost. No eff.
fort is made to provide extra accom-
mediation for the increased travel of
busy seasons, nor does the London
omnibus rule for mo standing" pre-
vail. Every compartment is filled, and
often passengers stand in the corridors
for long distances. 1T is the tax"
was the explanation. given the Amer
lean girl in one place on the continent,
the company must pay tax for
every car. therefore the fewer the cars
the greater the saving" Such thing
rs getting on extra cars to meet an
emergency does not seem within the
range Of possibilities in the continental
railway system. There II nothing for
Ii but for the victims to bear the In
convenience to the bitter end.

Textbooks and Supplies.

Many of our schools in North Da-
kota are now using the free textbook
and are we'll pleased with the results.
A backward pupil or one who has
been absent so much that his class
has outstripped him can now be put
where he can do the most good as
we'll as can the pupil Of unusual abil-
ity be put ahead Of his class when he
shows an ability to advance. Much
time is saved and the expense is far
less.
Free textbooks in our public
schools are becoming more and more
popular and it will be a question of
only a few years when they will be
in universal use.
Many schools have already taken
up the matter Of purchasing pens, pen
ellis and tablets for the pupils. Be-
sides reducing the cost fully one-half
to the patrons there is the advantage
of always being supplied with these
necessities.
There is more good common sense
in supplying the above than in pur-
chasing expensive globes and charts
and taxing the poor(D bachelor for
them.
Human nature being selfish, this
may be an incentive for him-the
bachelor-to look around and get
children of his own to benefit by these
purchases.

some time investigating the Swedish

A Good Man Leaving the Educational
Field OF North DakOta.

We are sorry to learn that Mr.. R. S.
Dewar, superintendent of the Devils
Lake schools, has decided to leave the
educational field and enter the real
estate business. Sorry from a selfish
standpoint, for it is just such ener-
getic. logical and influential persons
we need to put the schools of North
Dakota on higher plane.
However, we are glad to know he is
going into the real estate work and
hope he will use this same mighty re-
form force in this, that he has used in
his school work. If there is one thing
more than any other that needs the
strong hand Of reform in North Da-
kota, it is the real estate work.
Much disreputable work has been
done amongst real estate boomers

done more than all else combined to

his earnings and gain a.competency in

his earnings and gain a<competency IN
this way. His interest in his school
work would become greater because
he would have a reputation at stake.
Too many school boards go on the
theory that new broom sweeps clean,
or they desire to exercise their author
ity to help friend into lucrative
position. Oftimes they exceed their
authority to the great detriment of the
schools.
This state has recently witnessed
several important changes in high
school superintendent. Because the
Fargo school board became dis
gruntled and desired a change, Park
River, East Grand Forks, Pembina, ST.
Thomas and Hamilton successfully
made changes to keep up the with the
advance() march and, Of course,
Hamilton must be supplied and unless
the supply comes from outside of the
state there's no telling where the ro-
tation will stop.
Rotation in crops is a good thing, no
doubt, but rotation in teachers is a
different proposition. Even though
each of the above named places gets a
better superintendent by the change,
there is sure to be loss to the null
titude for a benefit to the few.
We believe, if it is impossible for
any reason for a superintendent to
continue his work to the end of the
school year, that school boards should
be compelled to go outside of the state
to secure one, unless one not already
engaged can be found in the state.
