Judge Kennedy handed us the
foregoing decision of President Nash
of the Northern Normal and w. F.
Eddy, Superintendent of Brown
ty together with the dissenting opin-
ion of NJ. NJ. Ramer, State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction.
This is the most important decision
on a school question that has eve
been rendered in this state. 1t hav-
ing been formally decided after a full
hearing and argument will give it
great weight with school men and
the people generally.
Prof. Nash is recognized as a
thorough student of school questions
and he being at the head of one of
the great Normals of the state, will
recommend the decision to the care
full consideration OF both teachers and
parents and also students in all
schools, both public and collegiate.
Marking is a universal practice in
schools and should be we'll understood
and properly used or the grading in
! class studies would be a farce and in
justice. State Superintendent Kramer
claims that a class marking can, and
should be used as an instrument of
punishment. The majority opinion
lays down the rule that it cannot be
so used. That the purpose of a class
mark is to measure the merit of the
student, and not as an instrument of
punishment. That the element of
punishment can in no manner, with
justice, be injected into a test or
class standing or grading.
The opinion of Superintendent
Ramer would reduce a test grade to
the level Of a switch while the opin-
ion of the majority, place the grading
on just and solid ground of merit.
When the marking is shown it indi.
Gates the merit of the test or lesson,
II the element of punishment was al.
lowed to enter into the marking then
it could not be told whether the
marking indicated the standing in
the studies or indicated what was
left after the teacher had sufficiently,
in his Judgment, punished the schol.
ar.
The majority decision is based on
solid ground, the minority opinion
is based on a vicious practice. This
decision will call a halt. President
Nash and Superintendent Eddy have
done the schools and the profession OF
teaching in this state the greatest
benefit in pointing out the true man.
ner Of giving students credit. The
theory Of Superintendent Kramer
causes injustice, and injustice to the
American youth always causes rebel.
lion.
Our Normal schools have been es-
tablished and maintained for the
very purpose Of teaching the true
principles OF the art and science OF
teaching and when WI find their adj
ministrator fearlessly condeming a
vicious practice, it is. a warrant that
they rightly exist and a better idea
OF everything that enters into the
practice and profession OF teaching
will be better understood.
President Nash is the right man in
the right place and the people can
rest assured that he will sanction NO

A Wonder That Has Puzzled Many

There are many people that are
greatly puzzled over the wonderful
effects of Root Juice. When this new
medicine was first introduced it was
generally thought that a new fake
was born to die in short time. But
as time passes and SO many testi-
monies are pouring in from all over
the country from people that had
given up hope of ever seeing another
well day and neighbor is telling
neighbor of some great good receiv-
ed from the use of Root Juice, many
people are wondering why this great
remedy was not discovered years
ago. What a great boon to human
kind is remedy like Root Juice, a
combination of natures drugs that
soothes and heals and tones the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.
How sweet is health and how won
derful are the many cures that Root
Juice has made of rheumatism, ca
tarrh, Indigestion, female weakness
and other troubles OF the digestive
and secretory organs. Those who
wish to learn of this great remedy
should go 70 ShadeIs drug store

Rescue Orphans From Fire.

One hundred and twenty, orphans
were thrown into a panic and many
of them narrowly escaped death in
a panic following a fire which broke
out in the Methodist Orphan Asylum
at Lake Bluff, Chicago, Sunday.
Only the heroism of three women
prevented great loss of life When
the fire was discovered in the dor
mitory in Wadsworth Cottage, in
which forty boys were sleeping, the
women, Miss Mary Springer, the
souse matron, and her two. assistants,
Miss Mary Ohlberg and Miss Anna
Sinners, rushed into, the blazing rooms
There they worked in fame and
smoke to get all the boys out in safe
'ty. They succeeded, although there
were some very narrow escapes.
The building itself was total loss
It's walls fell in just after the last
boys had been dragged from the
building by the women. and the or
phans are being housed by neighbors
until arrangements can be made for
their care. - s.

Five mayors IN is Months.

DR.. George NJ. Gray, who headed
the citizens ticket, was Tuesday
elected Mayor of Kansas City, Kan.
DR.. Gray will be the fifth mayor of
that city during the past year and a
half.
In April 1905, w. w. Rose was
elected to the Office. He was ousted
by the attorney general for not en-
forcing tn prohibition law. Z. E. We
nard, president of the city council,
then became mayor. A special cleo
ton was called and ex-Mayor Rose
was again elected.
The Kansas Supreme Court again
ousted Rose, holding that the original
custer proceedings debarred him
from holding the office for two years
from the time of his first being elect
ed 10 the office. Following Roses
second removal ]. f. Laughlin, presi-
dent of the council, became mayor,
which position he will relinquish
when DR.. Gray takes the oath of Of

Rap at Government Ownership.

One of the most efficient methods
of ayerting the consequences OF a
dangerous agitation. which is so per
cent wrong, is to remedy the 20 per
cent of evil as to which the agitation
is well founded The best way to
avert the very undesirable move for
the government ownership of rail-
ways is to secure by the government
on behalf of the peopel as a whole
such adequate control and regulation
OF the great interstate common car
riers as will do away with the evils
which give rise to the agitation
against them So the proper an16ote
TO the dangerous and wicked agfta
ton against the men of wealth as
such IS TO secure by proper legisla-
ton and executive action the atoli-
ton of the grave abuses which actu-
ally do obtain in connection with the
business use of wealth under our
present system-or rather no system
of failure to exercise any adequate
control at ali. Some persons speak
as if the exercise Of such govern
mental control would do away with
the freedom of individual initiative
and dwarf individual effort. This is
not fact 1t would be a veritable
calamity to fail to put a premium
upon individual initiative, individual
capacity and effort; upon the energy,
character and foresight which it is
so important to encourage in the
individual.-President's Message.

Tracewell Against Public Depositorie=

oughly opposed to the plan of public
repositories which it is proposed to
inaugurate in Indiana. The control
Ter also has given an expression OF
his views to Governor Hanly. The
governor has no better friend than
he, their acquaintance dating back to
the time when they served together
as congressman from Indiana.
He said a few days ago to the
Washington correspondent of the In
dianapolis Star: Il hope that some
body who has influence and knowl-
edge of the subject will have the
nerve to stand up and protest against
the establishment of system of pub
lie repositories in my state, SO that
the legislators will not proceed blind

seems TO be in public favor | believe
that if this contemplated reform were
fairly discussed in the light of impair

opposed to it. / do not hesitate tc
say that / am earnestly antagonistic
to it, because think that it is fun

Excitement at Goshen.

1t is now believed that John Cross
the civil war veteran, who died after
beng found in a helpless condition
east of Goshen, where he lay exposed
to the elements for SO hours, was
robbed and assaulted. George and
Harry Lott, who were known to have
been with Cross, have been arrested
on suspicion. Cross money, witch
and other things are missing. The
arrest of the Lofts has caused sen
sation. Had it not been for Cross
dog watching over the body, it is not
likely he would have been found, as
he was left in secluded spot
