BATTING THE OCTOPUS
SUIT TO BE INSTITUTED AGAINST
THE HARVESTER TRUST.
Department Of Justice Has Been After
This Particular Corporation
for Many Months.

One of the most important proceedings to
be instituted by the government in its cam
paign against obnoxious trusts will be that
against the International Harvester Com
pany. The papers in the case are being
prepared. and the action probably will be
begun within few weeks
For many months the Department of Jus
tice has been pursuing an investigation into
the operations of the Harvester company, in
response TO complaints which had reached
not only the department, but the President
himself In conjunction with the Depart
ment of Justice the bureau of corporations
also has been working, and an immense
amount of evidence has been accumulated.
The precise nature of the facts which have
been disclosed to the governments invesu-
gators is not known, but general assurance
is given that the government has in It's
possession bales of evidence of violation of
law by the great concern.
The action will be brought under the
tuted to bring about a dissolution of the
so-called trust. and, if possible, to punish it
for alleged violations of the law.

ON COMPULSORY EDUCATION
Senate Has It's Hooks Out For the
Compulsory Education Bill
Is Too Strenuous.

Pierre, Feb. 28.-(Special to The
Republican.)-The senate will wres-
tie today with the game bill which
has been weakened by amendment
and will still prove Objectionable to
the farmer members of the house.
The compulsory education bill up
for passage in the senate will prob
ably be defeated unless amended,
since it requires constant attendance
at school up to the fourteenth year.
The divorce bill is on passage in
the senate today and will be warmly
contested. There is a particularly
strong fight being made against this
divorce procedure at the present
time, not because of absolute hostil-
ity to the getting of divorces, but the
feeling is prominent that there is no
necessity for making additional bur-
dens in this direction. There is a
hard fight on to secur the passage of
the bill, and some are inclined to ia
o it because of the great number
OF divorces which are granted in
Sioux Falls, and which gives the state
a bad name. If these were distribut-
in other parts of the state and not
centered at Sioux Falls the business
would not appear to be so prominent.

THINGS EDUCATIONAL.
BY E. j. QUIGLEY
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

By far the most important part of
true teaching consists in directing
the mental activities of the pupil.
Many truths should be told and ex-
planned. Life is too short for each
n to discover every truth for him
self. Advantage should be taken of
the accumulated knowledge from the
labor of others; but Notwithstanding
this, but little mental power is Sc
cured by the passive reception of
truth from another. Too often in
dolent pupils say to their teacher,
II can't understand, please explain"
and the unwise teacher does the work
they should do, and pours into their
heads a mass of ready-made ideas of
but little practical value, producing
mental imbecility.
The understanding is not a vessel
to be filled, but firewood to be kind
ed" He is educated who knows
facts and a use them in reasoning
out correct conclusions. When my
parents attended school in Massachu-
setts IS years ago, there were no
classes i n schools. The teacher passed
around among the pupils and gave
one individual instruction.
From this extreme there grew up the
other extreme of rigid graduation and
classification. Nearly all of the teach
ers time is taken in hearing recita-
lions. The theory is that an explana-
ton can be made to a class of twenty
as we'll as to a single person. The
teacher says, 81 have no time now,
1t will be explained in the class"
The teacher explains a principle to
her class, some understand fully,
some partially, and still others are
mystified, but from dihidence,
or other causes, let it go. Some are
ashamed to acknowledge that they
cannot understand as easily as 9th
ers. And so the Changing, locksten
recitation goes on from day to day.
The grade must be retained, the
prescribed work in the course must
be done in just the time prescribed.
The result is that some fall out, per-
haps leave the school, others founder
along in uncertainty and misery to
failure at the end.
The Batavia plan, O receiving so
much attention, corrects the evils of
the strictly individual and class
methods Of instruction, but as this
article is already long enough, I will
describe it in my next.

THE DEADwooD POSTMASTER
The Attitude of Archibald Shaw
Matter of Comment Among
the State Legislators.

Pierre, Feb. 26.-(Special to The
Republican.)-The contest over the
appointment of a postmaster for the
.Deadwood postoffice is the principal
topic of discussion here because of
the intensity of feeling existing be-
tween the insurgents and stalwarts
who see in the Gamble-Kittredge
contest the question of supremacy of
the two bodies of their factions in
the last phase of a situation which
must necessarily be changed by the
adjournment of congress-, in the re-
tirement of Congressman Martin and
Burke, and the ascendency of Con-
gressmen Parker and Hall as their
successors and the champions of Sen
ator Gamble. The interest is fur

the recent election at the earnest So
l%icitation of other members of the
Black Hills delegation, who brought

ard, supported by the other chem
lists, that low grade oils were not
dangerous-which might be con-
ceded of the grade the Standard oc-

A joint resolution fixing the date
of final adjournment at IL m. March
