A. II. Pease will not be a resi-
dent of Wagner much longer, as
he intends TO move To Aberdeen
To become manager Of the cleo

losing a citizen who has been
identified with the town from its
beginning, and who has helped
as much or more than any one
person TO make our little city a
good place to live. He was the
chief mogul of the New Era for
several years, has been post
master of Wagner for over seven
years, and was the first one to
build a fire proof building in the
town. We hope he will have the
utmost success in his new
home.

Mission of the kindergarten to the
Home ard School.

The rush of business and social life OF the
great cities has made the kindergarten not
only desirable in the early training Of the child.
but in many cases absolutely necessary. Rising
to its mission. the kindergarten has taken a
prominent place in the educational life OF the
country. Business keeps the father down
town" all day. and the social demands made on
the mother take the time which in other days
was given to the children. The life in crowded
apartment houses and hotels too, is not the
best for young children. and parents turn natur-
ally to the kindergartens.
Public schools and colleges welcome the kin
dergarten training. Educators point to its in
fuence, from the receiving class to the elective
courses and laboratory methods. Thus il per-

Now, the organ is peculiar instrument IL

excite their sympathetic instincts. OF all types
of humanity those who are possessed with
artistic dispositions notoriousy most liable
to absorbing thirst for sympathy which Is
sometimes interpreted by those who are not
artistic as love of appreciation or notoriety;
and though it does sometimes degenerate into
that unhappy weakness, its source, at least, is
not unworthy of respect. Learn to turn this
love of sympathy outward and it will come
back hundredfold, and make itself felt IN all
our efforts.
1t has been truly said that the well known,
out topics of consolation and encourage
ment are become trite because they are reason
able This makes them none the less valuable,
especially when they bear upon their front the
marks ofaexperience
Furthermore, in addition to the physical, men
tai and moral education, there is the immensely
practical education which, by many,
is only learned too late to be applied to their
own success.

CHARACTER.

BY practical preparation reference is made,
not only to the requirement of a sound. tech
ncal and mental education, but to the impor-
tance of gaining worldly knowledge of men
and affairs through lack of which knowledge
so many otherwise talented people have failed.
Never in the history of the world was COM
petition in every pursuit and calling fierce
as now; never did success In more than mod
crate degree demand for its attainment such
union of physical and intellectual qualities-of
alertness, activity, prudence, persistence, bold
ness and decision-as at this end of the nine
teenth century,
Carlyle truly says that 'the race of life has
become intense; the runners are treading upon
each others heels; Woe be to him who stops to
tie his shoestrings."
This suffces to show that success is not an
accident, although there naturally excep
tional cases where men of mediocre attainmerts
have made their way to the front.
1t is said that after all happiness consists in
the means. not in the end; in acquisition, not
in possession. In fact. we owe large part of
our happiness to mistakes, since it is
through doing wrong that we learn how to do
right. Success, after all, is only comparative.
A man may be a successful lawyer, though he
may fail of becoming chief justice.
1t is the power Of patient labor which lifts
a man, day by day. like an invisible giant lever,
until almost imperceptibly ne has been raised
above the heads of those who were wont TO dis
regard him.
What does Is the real test of what
man is, and to speak of what great things one
would accomplish if he had more activity of
mind is to say how strong man would be If
he only had more strength"
The strength of the weakest is not, however.
to be despised; and the determination which
often accompanies weakness is. the maxim
goes, in the hands of child compared with
the flint lock in the hands of Hessian hire
lings.
