Tue Blind Rat"

An exchange tells the story of poor
workingman who, on awakening one
morning, told his wife a curious dream
which he had during the night. He
dreamed that he saw coming toward
him, in order, four rats. The first one
was very fat, and was followed by two
lean rats, the rear rat being blind.
The dreamer was greatly perplexed as
to what evil might follow, as it had
been understood that to dream of rats
denoted calamity. He appealed to his
wife concerning this; but she, poor
woman, could not help him. His SOD,
who had heard his father tell the story,
volunteered to be the interpreter
"rhe fat rat, he said, sis the man who
keeps the saloon you go to so often
the two lean rats are my mother and
me- and the blind rat, father, is your
self. Selected.

Z. g. Cooley, superintendent of the
Chicago high schools, addressed the
Illinois Federation of WOmen's Clubs,
the other day. The question he was
down to answer was as follows; "What
should be the curriculum of the high
school to best fit the student for social
and community life?" Following are
extracts from his address on the sub
ject: "The high school curriculum of
the past. has been dominated by the
colleges and outlined as preparation
for them first of all. AS a result, high
school education has been bookish and
dominated by leisure class theory of
education. The high schools in the flu
ture must come into vital touch with
the needs of society. They must offer
vocational study, including manual
training, household arts and business
practice. We are in danger oi creating
an educated proletariat. l know of a
few things more wasteful than to see
boy, who is sure not to go to college,
putting in four years of high-school
work at courses which are preparatory
for college and not directly for life. l
recall one particular boy. He studied
Latin for four years. Greek for several

lens in higher mathics. Then he went
/ to work in factory as factory hand.
He knew he was going there all the
time. He wasted those four years and
started his life work untitled for it. |
know of dozens like him. The high
school boy going into business. The
executive type of boy is failure in the
old classical kind of high school. But
! he has as great need for an education
as any other. In the future high school
we shall permit the student to select
what branches he wants and to take as
few or as many of the courses in them
he wants for as long as be pleases.
With that responsibility. he will Sc
lect along the line of his native bent,
will cast aside the superfuous and
drive straight for the mark instead Of

jority of instances. The must gradu-
ate idea is wrong Do you know thBt
33 per cent of the public drop out in
the first year in high school and so per
} cent at the end of the second? Those
years are so important for them that
that we should have the best teachers
in the first year of the high school.
But as long as we are thinking of turn

Ger for adjudication; if to a ministerial
officer, it must be where he is under
obligation at the time to perform the

The writ of mandamus must there

Our election laws, we feel bound to
say, would be in a deplorable state, if
they provided no means for the correc-
ton of the unlawful padding of regis
tration lists, such as we see in the pres
ent case. They do, however, provide a
remedy. In section 1904 supra, it is
provided that it shall be a ground of
successful challenge az the polls if it be
'shown by proof, to the satisfaction of
the judges holding such election, that
the certificate was procured by fraud
or perjury" It the registrars, say at
Bristol, should admit to registration,
non-residents, people just over the
line, residents of Virginia, it would be
no less fraud upon the elective fran
chises, if both the registrars and nom
residents were aware of the fact of the
non-residence, so, if the registrars at
johnson City admitted to registration,
either knowingly or ignorantly, PEG.
Pile residing in the Soldiers Home,
who are as truly nou-resideuts of the
state rs persons living in Virginia or
Kentucky that would he fraud--a
fraud in law, if done ignorantly, a
fraud in fact, il done with knowledge
on the palt of either the applicants, or
the registrars, aud the fraud would be
intensified if meditated by the appli-
cant, and connived at by the registrars.
In either event it would be ground of
challenge under section 1904, which it
would be the duty of the judges of
election to entertain.
A different construction of the stat
utes would place it within the power of
evil-disposed persons in border coun-
ties just prior to our recurring cleo
tons to load the registration lists with
the names of non-resIdents, who, arm
ed with certificates of registration,
would have an unimpeachable title to
the ballot, with the result that the citi-
zens of the state would be compelled
to witness the corruption aud prostra-
ton of the elective franchise without
power Of prevention or correction
The peremptorY writ of mandamus
must, however be denied in the pres
ent case, on the grounds already stat

 It Is not necessary to point out to an intelligent reader that this is not the attitude of innocence. An honest man, facing an unjust aceuation, is deter mined to clear himself of 1t as speedily as possible. No questions can be too searching, no court proceedings too speedy to satisfy him.
 But with charges against him, not only in the courts but In the public mind, John D.
