be to aid in every possible way to de-
velop our faculties As regards accuracy
in form, size, color and position, natural
or artificial effects, real beauty of
thought and expression with their at
tendant effect upon people In general
and the individual in PARTICULAR.
In fact its mission is not unlike the
of the church, namely to bring
into every home and life the ideal re-
pose, the rest which is not from fatigue
from work, but, complete fulfillment
of our real personality.
Those who have been instrumental
in aiding the schools to possess copies
of works of art and in enthusing teach
ers and pupils with artistic ideas are
doing work which should be greatly
commended as it will be of continual
benefit to humanity as whole.
Oflate years the schools are devoting
time and labor to the teaching OF
science, sewing, cooking and manual
training, but, as yet there has been
little attention given to artin its real
sense, and only feeble effort made to
teach it in its simpler forms of draw
ing, Woodworking and the like though
the work of these must necessarily
bring out more strongly the good al
ready and to. be derived from other
studies which are admitted to be abso-
lutely necessary in the education of all
pupils.
Art means much in the way of train
ing the Imagination, consequently de-
veloping creative ability, appreciation
of the beautiful in life, appealing to all
the finer sensibilities of man thus tend
ing to bring into prominence all that
is good and noble, making him capable
of being useful number of society as
well as a true citizen Of his owncountry
and the world.
Now if the study and application of
Art in a general way will tend to ac-
complish the ifulfllment of a higher
ideal of education and life, is 1t not
worth while to give time and space in
the public school work? And should
not parents and teachers do all in their
power to further its teaching?
To me there is but one answer to
these questions and I hope that the
interest which you shall evince in
future by your aid and encouragement
of this work in the schools will be such
as to bear evidence that you fully agree
with me in my plea for the recognized
necessity of Art ia the public schools
"Where'er frescoi peels and drops,
Where'er an outline weakens andwanes,
Till the latest life in the painting stops.
Stands One whom each fainter pulEe-tick pains
One, wistful each scrap should clutch the brick.
Each tinge not wholly escape the plaster.
The wronged great soul of an ancient Master.
So, testing your makness by their strength.
Your meagre charms by their rounded beauty,
Measured by Art in your breadth and length,
You learned to submit is mortal's duty.
When say you" tbs the common soul,
| The collective mean the race of man,
That receives life in parts to live in whole,
And grow here according to Gods great plan

TOBACCO SECRETS.
What Makes the Chico One of the
Mildest and Most Enjoyable
Cigar on the Market.

Cigar Oh UIlo Market.
How many people, even among the
most confirmed smokers, know what
constitutes the difference between a
strong and mild cigar? 1t is simple
enough. The strong product is so
made that it burns badly, while a
mild cigar is one that burns well-like
the Wadsworth Bros. Chicos.
"These cigars, says P. A. Clemmer
the local agent, ''are made from a
long Havana filler, carefully selected,
with the best hand workmanship, and
as they burn freely with firm, per
feet ash the result is a mild, pleasant
and enjoyable smoke"
Six months ago the Chico was not
known in Cresco, but to-day it is the
most popular cigar in the city, and is
the favorite although it sells for but
five cents. Smokers who have here.
tofore wanted only ten or fifteen cent
goods should step into P. A. Glenn
mer's Drug store and get a few Chi.

other fastidious smokers, that it is
the mildest and most enjoyable cigar
in the market. may Is june $40

The Uuited States is, indeed the only
large country in which the ordinary ag-
riculturalistscan be trusted with COM

In many manufactures the different

telligence on the part of the working
classes is even greater;for in some parts
of Eastern Europe even the primary
mechanical powers are not made use of.
If the inhabitants wish to lift weight
they do it by main force instead of u.s.
ing the pully or inclined plane.
Many people think if they can read
and write and figure that that is all
that is necessary, not thinking of the
many other things that are helpful:
Some people will allow the child to

HISTORY AND VALUE OF EDu
CATION.

Education begins at the mothers
knee, it is instruction only that stops
when a person finishes school life.
Plato has described education as that
which gives to the body and to the soul
all the PROJECTIONS Of which they are
capable.
This definition indicates that educa.
ton has two phases more or less distinct.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and

English lQSIlIuIlOuS transferred 10 AM
erican soil, and and it was not until well
into the eighteenth century that these
institutions were so modified that they
became schools known as the district
school, the academy and the American
college.
Naturally, at the present time the
character of education in the colonies
of any nation or any particular colony
of given nation is determined by the
general character of the colonial gov
eminent.
But we say, and it is said every day,
"Of what use is this education?"
This can be easily answered, for with
out an education we could do nothing
and have it a success. 1t not only broad
ems the ideals of man, but it Is time
and laborer saver.
The uneducated man when he takes
a piece of work to do, goes at it, never
thinking Of saving time, labor and the
material, while the intelligent person
would look at it with the view of saving
time, material and labor.
The intelligent laborer is far less
wasteful of material than the unintelli-
gent, for, he sees at the moment where
he can get the most out OF it, while the
unintelligent will do what he is asked
not thinking of the other two. The in
telligent laborer can use delicate and
intricate machinery to advantage and
he alone can do so.
In some. countries no machines are
used in agriculture, but only the simp,
lest and coarsest of hand tools. This is
not mainly because the people are toe
poor to have them, but because they
are too ignorant to use them.
Were the best PEASANTS out of twenty
to be given moving machine or reap
er, he would bring it SO quickly to wrecl
and ruin as to Offset the value of his
