The Elections of 1907.

New York Post: Yesterdays cleo
tions were too scattering and too COM
plicatcd with local issues to yield a
decided drift in national politics. So
far as any is discovered in this part
of the country at least, it shows both
lessened Republican votes and en-
thusiasm. In New Jersey, as well as
in New York, there is complaint of
Indifferent or disgruntled Republi-
cans. Besides this obvious dissatis-
faction, another element has to be
taken into the account. Republican
campaigns have become VIGOROUSLY
expensive. It seems to cost a great
deal of money to "get OUT the Re-
publican vote. For obvious reasons
it was hard to collect large fund
this year. 1t would be still harder
next year, under certain conditions.
Hence, taking one consideration with
another, we think that yesterdays
voting will confirm President Roose-
velt in his determinatio- not to be a
candidate in 1908.

Strong Defense of the Clergy.

The November American Magazine
includes remarkable discussion OF
Religion Inside the Church and Out"
mo, in nay opinion the clergy
never performed their mission with
greater zeal than at present. 1t is
childish to blame them for our own
faults or for the lack of faith which
We have unconsciously cultivated as
bride to our love of physical Or
spiritual ease. They fight the good
fight and they keep the faith. 1t is
all they can do in the face of this
epidemic of irreligion. Can we ask
them 10 change the methods that
through long centuries have cured the
souls OF the weary, because young
men prefer the theatre to the church?
They can never compete with the al
lurements OF life any more than they
can take out of our hand the secular
duties that we owe to our race and TO
the world. Politicians may challenge
them to leave their chosen field.
Science and seiolism may try to taunt
them out of it. But there they must
stay, always teaching faith and
spiritual grace as the means toward
the salvation of mems souls. [
know it is the fashion of unbelievers
to think their unbelief is the fruit of
superior Intellectual power. 1t is
amusing to an old man to hear young
fellows, who would find some difficulty
in passing a sophomore's examina-
ton in logic, lightly discussing as
unreasonable the faith that bowed
Pascal's head in prayer, that ANNA
ted the lofty courage of Washington,
and bound up the breaking heart of
Lincoln. But [ doubt if in point of
intellect the church ever lost much
that it could have held by any appeal.
1t would almost seem that the greatest
minds have had the quickest appre-
hensiOn of these intanginable princi-
pies of religious belief that escape the
material middle class mind. Sim
plicity of belief and not only that but
simple acceptance of the methods that
have kept belief alive all these years,
seems as naturally part of the equip
ment of greatness as they are of child
ishness and innocence

The Country School.

Milwaukee Journal: Every man
and woman who is interested in pub
lie education-and who is not?-
should give attention to the sugges-
tions which Prof. G. e. Patzer of the
Milwaukee Normal school made in
his address this morning before the
State Teachers association.
The problem discussed by Prof.
Patzer is that of the country school.
Every one knows that the country
schools are not what they ought to be.
The reasons for this, however, are
not so generally understood. Prof.
Patzer tells what he thinks is the seat
of the trouble, and there is no doubt
that he is right.
The weakness of the country school
is due to the inefficient and inadequate
system of supervision; it is hardly
inspection. And he is right. The
supervision of the schools of d
county is in the hands of one man,
the county superintendent. 1t will be
clear to any one who thinks about it
a moment that it is an utter impOssi-
bility for one man to supervise eff
GENTLY the schools of an entire
country, and at the same time do The
hundreds of other things he is eX-
pected and required to do.
Prof. Patzer shows that, on the
average, each county superintendent
"supervises" the work of 1876 teachers
and 4 $50 children, and IN doing this
he must cover a territory averaging
700 square miles. In addition to this
he must keep his eye on the pOliti-
clans, since he is a political official,
and attempt to please every one.
The supervision" which he is able
to give to the schools in his charge
amounts to one VISIT lasting an hour,
to each school each year. 1t is
simply absurd nonsense to expect
good results from such a system.
The marvel is that the uperintendents
do their work as we'll as they do and
GLLcbU GlIC COuiiSl oShOO1S al Z tbo gnu
as they are. To compensate the
superintendent for his strenuous
Iabors he is given salary of $3.50 a
year, on the average. When cam
paign expenses are deducted, and
allowance made for deterioration in
his horse and buggy, his salary
amounts to about 500 month. This
is ridiculously low.
The solution of the problem, accord
ing to Prof. Patzer, involves a COM
plete change in system. There should
be county board of education elected
by the people, whose duty ii should be
to appoint a county superintendent
and necessary assistants. Prof. Pat

For Better Roads.

Madison Democrat: 1t has been
we'll said that the government school
of agricuIture-for such is Secretary
Wilson'S department-should aim to
check the waste of farm wealth in bad
roads. In general way, 1t does
advise the farmers to agitate for
better roads. But something more is
needed. There should be consistent
national policy of highway building,
in which the employment of convict
labor is a factor. The era Of wasteful
farming is almost over in the United
States. Irrigation has taught valu-
able lessons in intensive farming
So have the rational and modern
rotations of crops and improved ma
chinery, that belongs to scientific
agriculture. But good roads will
add more to the value of farm pro-
ducts and hence to the national
wealth, than any other single factor.
This is now realized by most intelll-
gent agriculturists, and the modern
organizations of farmers are making
road betterments an essential plank
in their platforms. 1t is uniform
policy, for the various states, that Is
now most needed. Yet this section OF
agriculture,- state experiment
stations too-could we'll do more. 1t
is the most profitable method possible
of augementing the value of crops by
reducing the cost of marketing.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1907-11-14

ger would make the Office of county
uperintendent the same as the Office
of superintendent of schools in the
cities. Under such a system the
county board of education could
appoint the best man it could find for
the place, and if necessary it could go
outside of the county to find a man OF
the right kind, just as is now done by
school boards in the cities.
The plan proposed by Prof. Patzer
is a good one, ard deserves careful
consideration. The county superin-
tendeut, uHder such system, would
be free from the fears of a man who
wants to be reelected to Office and
who must always keep an eye upon
his political fences. He would receive
a decently adequate salary, and with
the help of his assistants, could give
some real supervision to the schools.
The Journal commends this plan to
the thought Of the school men of the
state, and of the people generally.
1t deals with an exceedingly impor-
tant problem and seems to offer a
solution.

Two Rich Strikes.

Cuba City News: In prospecting on
the McNett farm heavy sheet ore bod
les from to s feet in thickness have
been encountered during the past few
days. This same body of ore was dis
covered simultaneously on the Mueller
farm in the Very Best mine. These
discoveries are on a great 4 O'Clock
crevice that crosses the Best mine on
the Mausbruch farm situated between
the McNett and Mueller farms. The
ore bodies discovered IN the Virgin
Elk Grove section are thus proven to
be very rich at shallow depths.

up of the best popular books in notion,
history, travel, biography, science
and literature, for adults and children.
They are shipped in stout pine cases,
and are accompanied by printed cata-
logs and supplies necessary for keep
ing record of the circulation. The
travelling libraries are intended for
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1907-11-14

farming communities and small viii
lagos not enjoying public libraries.
To secure a travelling library a library
association must first be organized
which shall include at least ten citi-
zens. They must elect a librarian,
who shall have charge of the libraries
and return them promptly to the
commission at the expiration of each
half year. The commission desires to
supply as many communities in the
state as its means will allow. Appli-
cation blanks will be forwarded upon
request to the Wisconsin Free Library
Commission, Madison, Wisconsin.
