a handsome young matron, of 1919 Lo-

calling herself Miss Ida Miller, al the
Chestnut street ferryhouse, where she
was waiting for Mrs. Wells's husband.
Mrs. Wells got wind that her hus-
band had an appointment through a
letter she found in his clothes. 1t was
signed "the same as ever, Ida" She
took the letter to him, suggesting that
he take her with him to meet the wom-

Wells decided to keep the date in
his place.

Editor The Ranch: Seeing the ar
ticle on hog cholera in your issue OF
February 1, thought l would SEND you
the symptoms of the disease as l nave
seen them. 1 have given the subject
years of study and observation.
Symptoms: High fever, genera
weakness of the organism, such as de-
creasing appetite, staggering gait,
soueal weak, nose held close toy ground
while walking, back bumped up, all
motions slow and listless without vim,
bowels do not act properly, droppings
hard and passed with difficulty, hogs
trying to get warm, although surfer
ing from high fever they get under
bedding or on top of other hogs, any
where possible to get warm; by put
ting the hand in between them the I'M
naturally high temperature can easily
be felt: by cutting the edge of the ear
little or no blood will flow from the
wound; the absence of blood Will be
noticed if hogs are castrated or killed
by a butcher while sick with cholera.
All these symptoms can be reversed
by proper treatment. There are many
symptoms of numerous other diseases,
which often accompany and follow IN
the wake of the primary one l have
given; these have led to very serious
confusion among owners of stock and
investigators. both the difficulties be-
ing caused by taking the symptoms as
a whole as those of one disease. 1t
has taken years to realize the SIM
pie fact that hog could be suffering
from half a dozen diseases at one
time. There is another fact which has
yet got to be learned by investigators
in general and that is that while the
majority of diseases can be headed off
by good hygienic conditions, hog chol-
era will disregard them, and they
seem to aid in it's destructiveness.

FLEET LEAVES \ TOXIC. K
After Splendid Reception By

VESSELS HOMEWARD BOUND
The Departure of the Big Ships the
Prettiest Feature of the Week
Toxic Resumes Normal Condition
After Week of Delirium.

Toxic, By Cable.-After a week s
suspension of almost every kind Of
business, because of the presence of
the American fleet in japanese waters
and SO that fitting welcome might be
given to the American officers and
sailors, Toxic is resuming its normal
conditions. Already many of the de-
corations have been taken down, al
though every one is yet discussing The
remarkable features Of the past few
days
President Roosevelt's messages to
the Emperor was presented to him
through Count Komura, the foreign
minister, and the Emperor probably
will make reply soon, but there is
no reason to expect that the En-
peror's message will contain other
than a graceful acknowledgement and
an expression of qualification at the
Presidents warm words of apprecia-
tion. Nothing could possibly exceed
in. the public mind in Japan the sig
nifcance of the Emperor's previous
message.
The departure of the fleet Sunday
morning was one of the prettiest fea-
lures of the week. The fgship Con-
necticut slipped her cables at exact
ly s O'Clock. She steamed past the
Louisiana and saluted and was fol-
lowed by the remainder of the first
squadron. When the eight ships had
passed, the Louisiana led the second
line. and the entire fleet then formed
in single column.
AS each Of the American battle
ships passed the head of the japanese
column the crews of the. ships of both
nations cheered enthusiastically, and
the band of both the American ships
played the japanese national hymn.
When the last Of the sixteen ships
was salutinq, the Connecticut was in
visible on the horizon. Within exact
ly fifty minutes the entire manouvre
had been completed.

less for the schools to try to ignore
the differences. 1t is unnatural and it
is wrong. To march abreast twenty
five children in one grade up to
given dead line is neither possible
nor desirable. Children with diverse
abilities, tastes, and opportunities
should not be required to progress
with even step through such diverse
subjects as mathematics, language,
history, and drawing. If boy can
do the language work of the sixth
grade, but is prepared for onlv the
18th in mathematics, put him just
where he is fitted to go. "Oh, he
would not fit into my program says
some one Then make the program
fit the boy. The possibility of doing
this j one of the great advantages
that the small country school has over
the closely graded school.
There is another thing which needs
to be dinned into the ears of our
people-beth teachers and partons-
that it is folly for school with nine
grades and two teachers to undertake
to do what q school with nine grades
and six teachers accomplishes. The
two-teacher school may be the better
school within its limitations, but it
must keep within these limitations.

+ Paper Number Seven. !,
Observation-Disclosures

The Course of .Study-There is a
small but turbulent class Of other
wise writer's who periodically belabor
the public schools. In their night
mares they see thousands of tender
children murdered or MANNED in the
public schools, and give vociferous ut
terance to so much wild nonsense
that they have but one effect-making
people refuse to heed them even when
they point out some real defect. Some
Of these writers have warned us
against one great evil which we have
gone on ignoring-that of an over
crowded course Of study. To be brief,
some years ago our educators realized
the poverty Of our common school
course of study, confined almost eX-
clusively to the three RS. A just
demand was made for an enriched
course, giving a wider range Of sub
iects to the pupils. A number of sub
jects has been added. Now, in order
to encourage individual initiative, I
take it, the State Board Of Education
has never prescribed a maximum or a
minimum number of subjects for any
course. Instead it has adopted text
books covering rather wide range
of subjects, and grouped these into
yearly grades, leaving each school to
make up course or courses from this
list.
The building of well-balanced
course of study is the work of an ex--
pert. Comparatively few teachers lay
claim to that stage of fitness. Yet
each teacher, or at least each princi-
pal, experienced or inexperienced,
sets about to make his own course.
Theories, preiudices and tastes begins
to clash for the mastery. One teach
er is an arithmetic crank, and his
course has but little else in it; an
others favorite subject is grammar,
and he makes his pupils analyze ant
parse everything in sight,; another
has no taste for geography, and he
practically omits it; another "dc>Ss
on" poetry. and the whole school is
put to m"morizing and reciting gems; !;
while lot of t6orough-eoing teach
ers whc take everything literally, put
the whole adopted listiinto one course,
and give it to every pupil in the
school.
A great deal Of ignorant and un-
just criticism is made against the
frequent and useless change of text
books Tt would be neither wise. nor
defensiblc to have a child use the
same reader through two or three
grades. or to use the same geography
through the 4th. 5th and 9th grade
for instance. If the book is suited
to his advancement when he begins it,
it is reasonable to say that it is not
suitable two or three years later in
his life. And if a teacher were to
keep the child of one fthese watch

fourth reader, for instance. for three
