that learned to spell better than do these young
sters nowadays Usually with the Oil methods, 1t did
not pay to miss the same word twice.
"Why is it." the question used to CO. that all the
bad spoilers become sign paintersT Is it because Of
the strict union rules nowadays that the bad spoilers
have deserted sign painting and overfowed into all the
other occupations? Have modern methods of teaching
overlooked the desrabiHty Of teaching the boys and
girls spelling and the three RS in order to their
little heads with ornamental accomplishments?
There has been widespread belief that the restor-
alton Of the old fashioned spelling BEES spell up and

Eagle thinks to such extent that it has offered
prizes condition that the public school principals will
let their pupils take part In series of spelling match
es. The principals do not take kindly to the notion
The Eagle says:
The nub of the matter is just this, the public
school children cannot SPELL The principals Of the high
schools know that they cannot SPELL does everybody
else who has occasion to receive letters from them If

and taxpayers Then there might arise such hue and
cry for common and the fundamentals Of educa

body from Confucius and Buddha down to Admiral
Togo. If the school should begin to make time

ANTICIPATING THE CENSUS.

Forecast of the Population of Lead.
ing American Cities in 1910.
An expert statistician who has done
work for the census bureau at Washing
ton has figured out the population Of
American cities in 1910, basing his esti-
mates upon past growth, building statis-
tics, city directories and local censuses.
The result with gains in ten years for
the seven cities at the head of his list
is here presented:
Population. Gain.

Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1906-02-22

Of these seven cities New York, Chi.
cago and Cleveland were the only ones
that showed an increase of more than 80
per cent in the decade between 1890 and
1900. st. Louis had 27.3 per cent Bos-
ton, 25.1; Philadelphia, 23.6, and Balti-
more, 17.2. Under the new dispensation
st. Louis would go soaring. Her percent
age of increase would leap far beyond
that of Chicago in the last decade. 1t
would be less than the Chicago rate be-
tween 1880 and 1890, but it would be on
some accounts much more remarkable.
For st. Louis has not been conspicuous
as racer.
Precedents are rudely overturned also
in the case of Philadelphia. Starting
with population some 100000 less than
that of Chicago, that city is given an
absolute increase nearly equal to Chi
cago's and a considerably larger relative
increase, also to the confusion Of prece-
dents. These are the most notable of the
predictions, and it is evident that they
have little relation to past gains.
Cleveland is given an increase of about
60 per cent, as against 46 per cent in the
last decade, but a very high rate was to
have been expected from her past growth.
On the other hand, Chicago is dropped
from "a per cent to about 35 per cent.
Her precedents are knocked into smith
Greens to her very great Disadvantages
In building increases in cost for 1905
over 1904 were: New York, 60 per cent
Brooklyn, A; Chicago, 50; Philadelphia,
81; st. Louis, 65; Cleveland, 49, 1t
would require larger survey to get at
the significance of the factor in the cal
culations and also a very careful analysis.

ALARM OVER CHINA.
ARMY OFFICIALS FEAR CRISIS
IN FAR EAST.
Preparations for Outbreak Being
Made by General Staf-MissiOn-
aries Advised to Keep in Touch
with Treaty Ports.

Reports have come to members of
the general staff of the army from
China that are more alarming than
are the reports which have become
public property, writes a Washington
correspondent Staff members are
bending every energy to the study of
the Chinese situation and are making
preparations for a crisis in the eastern
empire.
Notwithstanding the Discrimination
shown thus far by Congress to pro-
vide for the proper quartering of more
troops in the Philippines, it is almost
unquestionably the intention of the
army chiefs to reinforce the island
garrison with regiments in addition
to those now on the high seas on the
way to Manila
The general staff has had it's hand
on the pulse of China for months. Sew
eral army officers recently returned
from that country, and their reports
of conditions have not relieved the
tension of mind of the chiefs. One
of the members of the general staff
who recently arrived from China, and
who visited Shanghai, Canton and Pc
king and made trips through various
parts Of the country, says that in his
opinion there is only one thing which
can prevent immediate trouble in the
Flowery Kingdom. He declares that
the natives are ready to rise against
the foreigner at the present time, but
that they are held in check by the
more INTELLIGENT leaders. who tell them
