However, power was given the board Of
railroad commissioners to put In such

other neighboring states are enjoying

were asked to put that rate in here.
The attorney advised against it-as
did the Chronicle which desired to

cATARRH IS DURABLE.
Successful Experiments in Abating
and Curing This Disease.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary
disease and should not be tolerated
for a single day now that Hyomei is
SO generally known and has made SO
many cures in Abilene and other
towns.
Until comparatively recent times
catarrh was thought to be a blood
disease and stomach dosing the only
treatment. Modern science finally
disproved this idea OF the cause Of
catarrh, AMI found that 1t was a germ
disease and, after many experiments,
the remedy was decided to be Hyomei.
Hyomei medicates the air you
breathe; 1t kills the catarrhal germs;
itheals the smarting and raw mem
branes Of the passages in the nose
and throat; it cures all catarrhal
troubles.
As there is life and health In the
air in the mountain tops where the
pine forests give of their fragrant
and healing balsams, so there is life
and health in breathing Hyomei
There is no need Of suffering from
catarrh II the simple and natural
treatment Of Hyomsi is used.
So sure is this prescription to cure
even the worst cases Of catarrh, that

Bulletin. 1t may be that we talk too
much about the duty that the parent
owes the school, but to our mind this
is one Of the greatest questions in the
whole scheme. The teacher may be
ever so competent, but unless she has
the oO-operatiOn- Of the parents she
cannot do the best Of the work. The
superintendent may have the very
best Of an organization, but unless
the parents assist him, much Of his
work will be for nsught. The super
intendsnt and the teachers feel this,
and when the parents fail to base their
opinion Of the schools on hearsay the
greatest enthusiasm cannot be aroused
nor the best work done.

Purpose 81 High Schools.

Superintendent Greenwood Of Kan
sas City, is wise in his views regard
ing the misuse Of high schools. sayi
the Wichita Beason. He has tahsn :
frm position against the use d ths
high school as q college preparatory
institution, insisting that colleges
should have their own training
schools and leave the high schools to
the masses who never expect . 3.
A. Statistics show that ninety-dye
per cent Of high school graduates
leave school for good and that only
the remaining FIVE per cent go In for
psnnants. iraternlties, caps and gowns
or Phi Beta Kappa. according to
whether their tastes be decorative,
social. archaic Or philosophical.
Itis the ninety-fve per cent for
which the high school course should
be planned, says the Beacon further.
As now arranged, history, both me-
diaeval and modern, is an elective
study, ancient history alone being q
REQ uired one. This should be changed
and no pupil should leave high school
without a general survey OF the entire
period Of history. Too much of the
time given to the study Of literature
has to be devoted to getting more or
less vague historical backgrounds,
which could be easily supplied by a
thorough course in general history.
The college entrance requirements
in English. are followed in most
high schools and each year these grow
more philosophical and difficult in
content. The Carlyle essay on Burns
deals in generalities which fall like
water from ducks back from the
mind Of the average high school fire.
quenter, he may be able to appreciate
Carlyle at twenty-three--hardly be-
fore. The DeCoverly papers are in
teresting like Hudibras from an histor-
ical standpoint, but you will find few
honest readers who love them for
themselves alone. American litera-
ture should receive more attention
Tor many OF the ninety-6ve per cent
will spend their lives in America.
The Abilene high school is wise in
putting in a commercial department.
This is far away iaom the idea Of col
lege entrance. 1t will serve three
purposes. 1t will keep in school one
or two years longer students who
would leave the eighth grade to at
tend some business college, and lose
the advantage Of the broader subjects
taught in high school curriculum; it
will meet the need Of the boy who
wants to get into practical business
by giving him a taste Of il; and 1t will
serve its purpose in teaching business
methods.
Students are over-worked trying to
get over the college entrance require
ments in language. Slower work and
more time would better fit the needs
and mental power of many of the
ninety-fve per cent. The high school
should take the stand heralded by the
abolition Of fraternities, and be our
most democratic institution.

The order Of the board Of railroad
commissioners that Kansas shall try
out the 2-cent fare with the other
states will probably be very distaSte-
full to the Chronicle which wanted
Kansas to wait until the other states
got through having about 1t. We
tried to educate the Chronicle on this
point but 1t would not see the peoples
side Of the matter.
