Visit Your Schools.

How many Of u school children s
parents ever visit the schools or cveL
know the teachers when they meet
them on the street? How many know
what their children are studying, or
how they are progressing? Is there
any Of you who have a building to
make or a fence to build; a dress to
make: a house to paint, or whatever
the job may be, that say to the n
you have employed: Here are the
tools and material, 60 ahead and do
it to suit yourself, and it will suit
me-. Is not that what many of you
are doing with your children. You
say by your actions: Here is my
child, with it's books, paper and pen
Gil, I've furnished material and tools,
educate HIM as you like. Now we
hear some Of you say: "The teacher
KNOWS better what they ought to
study than | do" While that may
be in part true, the carpenter or
1reSs- maker, 0r a painter, knows bet
jer how to do the work than you do,
yet you do not leave it all to them.
On the rising generation depends the
Welfare Of this great nation. Patrons
Ind parents, take more interest in our
schools and visit them often, and by
our presence give the teachers more
encouragement; ask them how your
children are doing. Perhaps a few
minutes talk with them will save
rOuble that years to come can never
lndO. Think about this ano ask your
if you are doing right.

When Things Go Wrong.

There ale times when everything
seems to go wrong. From seven o'clock
a. m. till 10 p. m. affairs are In a
twist. You rise in the morning, and
the room is cold and a button is off,
and the beefsteak is tough, and the
stove smokes, and the pipes burst,
and you start down street nettled
from head to foot. All day long things
are adverse. destinations, petty los
ses, meanneSS on the part of customers.

to the damper, and the gas escapes.

you are afraid some one will knock
you on the head to get the price or

showing you pictures of Old Time and

quite certain that you will die before

in his company. Besides this you
have a cold in your head, and a grain

OFF
THE TEAM
THE LAND COMMISSIONER WILL
GO TO WASHINGTON ON DE-
PARTMENT FUNDS.

Land Commissioner Pratt will make
the trip to Washington and his eX-
penses will be paid out Of the appro-
priation for his department and not
from the National Guard shooting trip
appropriation. This was decided this
morning at a conference held between
the Land Commissioner and Governor
Frear
The affair is one over which some
little unpleasantness has arisen but
through a misunderstanding When
the matter was taken up with the Gov
ernor, Pratt suggested that he so as
coach, spotter or range officer, the
team consisting of these three, cap
tain, twelve principals and three alter
mates. This proposition was made to
Acknowledgement Jones, who replied
that there was not money enough to
send a range officer and that two Of
! flcers had already been notified that
they should go as coach and spotter
and had made preparations. He said
that he felt that at this late hour they
should not be replaced. Jones then
suggested that he could arrange for
Pratt to go if he would request that
he be reduced in rank from lieutenant
colonel to captain.
| The reason for this was that the
rules provide that no officer oyer the
rank of captain may take part in the
team competitions. With the reduc-
ton in rank Pratt would be able to
take the place of one of the men who
would go as alternate. This request
was made by Pratt, who says that it
was done without the thought of
throwing out anyone else and orders
We're accordingly prepared
The trouble started yesterday when
the knowledge of the fact reached the
men through the order making Pratt
one of the alternates. They went up
4 arms Immediately, and rightfully
as Pratt said as soon as the matter
was brought to his attention. AS soon
as Governor Frear reached his office
this morning the Land Commissioner
called on him and explained the whole
situation, saying that he believed that
it would be best to withdraw the or
ders which had been issued. Cover

do so and that action was then taken

tory. A long string of medals bears
him out in this assertion.
The only criticism heard this morn
ing was directed against Colonel Jones
who appeared to be unwilling to have
the two officers who were going as
coach and spotter lose the trip, but
when it came to the men on the team
was willing to avoid the rules by al
lowing a reduction in rank and thus
throwing a private or corporal off the
team.
