Three agencies have been at work
in the development Of the child. First
came the tutor who instructed the in
dividual child. Then the educator,
whose methods were more voluminous
than luminous. He usually stood for
fuss, feathers, froth and failure. Half
the things that he knew absolutely were
never true at all. Now we have the
common school teacher The tutor has
passed away; the educator is passing,
but the teacher has come
Il have fancy that the coming man
is TO be woman and that she has ar
rived and is doing business. She is a
student and a scholar in the new sense.
She will be the one to realize that
not methods nor discipline constitute
the end Of education. She will strain
the present course Of study through the
sieve of common sense and make clear
70 us some Of the egregious errors
under which we are now working"

Japan has indicated in her treatment

The United States is in the enviable

WASHINGTON. Feb 25.-rhere is
well defined sentiment fortified by
recent developments that Minister Wu
ring Fang, who is soon TO arrive in
the United States VIII inaugurate an
entirely new phase Of diplomacy so iar
as It centers on the Orient. 1t is as
serted that Japan prosrated by her
own financial troubles viii take the
rear Of the stage and China, which has
found her position uncomfortable under
the tutelage Of Japan. will come 20 the
front with an entirely independent pol
ICY
such a course has been impressed
upon China as the result of the aggres-
sive policy OF Japan in Korea and Man
churia. This has not only given rise
10 protests on the part Of the Chinese
who are the most to suffer but also on
the part Of the foreign merchants who
have been successful in persuading
their governments that Japan proposes
TO give no chance to other than her
own people
Measures for the undermining OF the
Chinese army, as conserved by the
Japanese and China has been left 70
her own resources.
Japan, burdened with an enormous
war debt and battling for her policies
in the face Of strenuous opposition. APP
parently, for the time being, has beer
forced out OF her benignant attitude
of champion of all the Orient and
China is preparing to seize the op'
portunity of asserting her independ'
ence, with the cooperation OF western
governments.
It is likely, therefore, that the mos
absorbing diplomatic struggle in Wash
ington during the coming year viii
be that between Minister WI, who ha'
already achieved a record here. an,
Baron Kegore Takahira, the Japanes
ambassador, who is likewise well know
for his successes as Japan's represen
tative in the United States and a
the Portsmouth Peace conference.
At the outset Minister Wu will pos
sess the advantage. The United state
IN her policy has shown a marked in
terest in China. This was inaugu
rated by Secretary Hay in the pro
mitigation Of the "Open Door" an
has been continued by the present sec
retary by the mission OF an immens
indemnity and the establishment o
an extra territorial court at Shangha
An extremely favorable sentiment ha
also been created by the contributio
of over s500000 TO the Chinese famin
fun by American citizens. Moreover
Secretary Root has indicated that h
will not allow any violation Of tn
open door policy on the part OF Japa
TO 60 on without protest.
China's possibilities, as a fertile fiel
for the development Of commerce. ar
likely to prove too alluring to Europea
governments. particularly Germany an
Great Britain. to permit them TO objec
to this policy.
Japan, on the other hand, so far a
popular sentiment may be taken I

 The appointment by Gov. Pindall of Roy Campbell as prosecuting attorney for the district is said to have been the incentive for the opening up of that territory to Sunday ball. Gov. Pindall is probably the most enthusi- astic ball fan in Arkansas. He loves the game for it's real sport, and, it is said, believes that the national game should be opened for the benefit Of those who can not attend weekday games.

"VNE LIE ROI."

How doth the little busy French man improve each shining hour?
 For the most part in frantic vacil- lation between ''vive le Roi.' and "vive la Republique!" And if there should be a few moments of unused time in the interim he spends half of it in pro-Dreyfus panegyrics, and the other half in elamoring for that badly treated soldiers instant execution.
 France is a theater wherein the drama has no set scheme, It presents today the heaviest" and most complex trag- edy, and tomorrow it bursts forth with a comic opera more ridiculous than anything ever produced by Hoyt or George Ade
 These people are possessed of a na- ture too volatile for constancy, and while the sane world does not doubt that Major Dreyfus is victim of a peculiarly aggravated kind of injus- tice, it knows France for volvanic nation and would not experience the least surprise if Dreyfus were mur- dered ad the republic give way to a monarchy.
 Already the Due d'Orleans is being importuned to seize the reins of gov ernment and deliver the country from what Royaist journals spitefully term the anarchy of the Bourgeoisie. and the friends of the republic are them selves ripe for revolt against some thing or somebody-they care no

about a speedy business revival. It did in 1874.
 In 1874 business conditions were tagging more painfully than the most pessimistic reports indicate they are at this time, but fortunately corn crop of greater value on the farms than for four years prior of five years subse- quent, wheat crop that broke all previous records, exceeding in value any crop from 1867 to 1877, and oats and barley crops that also made new records brought the staggered country upright again. Exports of wheat and corn during 1873 and 1874 were far greater than normal and thus brought a great amount of foreign money to the United States-much as the eX- ports of 1907 and, prospectively, of 1908 have done and will do. The mar keting system of the United States was tested to it's capacity and proved to be the, greatest bulwark of the coun- try's strength.

1t. Between the hatred of Royal

what. Between the hatred of Royal ists for Republicans and of Republi- cans for Royalists, and of both for tDreyfus and the Semitic race from which he sprang, the country is in a state of tumult, the continuation Of which could easily be revolution. France is insane, and under present conditions it is possible for anything to happen.
 The recent visit of President Fal- Hers to King Edward is interpreted by various governmental experts to mean that an offensive and defensive alliance between England and France,
 is under contemplation by Britania and Marianne, but this seems likely to be error, for England is now beset with serious problems of her own, and it is not probable so sane nation would either directly or indirectly compromise herself by entering into such an alliance with a country whose difficulties outnumber her own.
 England's chief trouble is now con fined to India, while France is in the midst of internal dissention, which, added to her problems in Morocco and Madagascar, make any sort of alliance with her not only undesir- able, but hazardous.
