MORAL TRAINING
IN THE SCHOOLS

THE question of special moral training
in the schools is receiving the earnest
attention of educators. The cOnvlc-
tiOn is well settled that the time has
come to formulate. some system. Ihe
wavering moral attitude in society IS
a menace to the future. and the separa-
tion of religious instruction from edu-
cation generally, has removed the force
that had been depended upon to develop
the moral standards of youth. That
there are uncertain views of what Is
right and what is wrong that are in
furious to the individual and society
is especially evident in the large cosmo-
politan cities where families have come
from wide-apart localities to dwell to-
gether in a strange country. leaving re-
ligiOus traditions and established Gus
toms and proprieties behind them. The
newer life of the western world, and
the modern ways of living demand
change of outlook and adjustment OF
the code to the day.
The decalogue of the times of Moses,
the traditions of chivalry and the max
inns that grew through the centuries
need to lose none of their force, but as
Professor Ross has said, the content OF
these forms must be enlarged and we
must have an annual supplement. Man
no longer is master OF his castle. but
lives in a crowd and the old idea of
standing for his rights must be replaced
by the intention of cooperation.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1908-11-16

As education has been taken from the
church and given to the state. that in
its turn must undertake the upbuilding
of social and domestic virtues. The in
dividual was taught the saving of his
own soul and the duty toward his neigh
Dor. and now the change of conditions
warns that unless the individual unites
with his neighbor to upbuild society he
cannot save his own soul.
The Journal of the Religious Educa
tion Association has given an entire
number to Moral Training in the Pub
lie Schools" James H. Tufts of the
University of Chicago discusses "How
Far Is Formal Systematic Instruction
Desirable in Moral Training in the
Covering the historical ground,
Professor Tufts believes that We may
infer that there ought to be some gen
eral correspondence between school
training and the training by which So
ciety has advanced. In earlier years
the school may wisely rely upon the
indirect agencies of work and co-opera
tiOn, of social sympathy and social de-
mands for responsible action and upon
the social pressure of the present So
ciety of the school as an institution
having an order of its own, and upon
the ideals of society as communicated |
through the art. music and Gteratures |
Of the masters and through the living |
of cultivated, generous and |
high minded men and women"

Taft Best Equipped Candidate.

The Philadelphia Ledger, an
independent democratic news
paper of great influence, says:
Of all the presidential can
didates within the memory of
this generation, Taft is un-
questionably the best equipped,
in training and experience,
and in wide and close contact
with large affairs. In one i'm
portant respect his equipment
is unlike that of any of the
presidents, no one of whom
had ever served on the bench.
With the exception of those
nominated on their military
records, and two or three who
had been governors of their
states, the presidents have been
men whose political training
was in the legislative branch.
Taft was never in congress, or
even in his state legislature.
He is wholly without exper-
ience in what is called practical

papers is broad and lasting, and
it is for the newspapermen
themselves so to conduct theip
columns that they shall be 6f
the greatest possible interest.
Fairness, consistency, pro-
priety in criticism, knowledge
of public policies and events
these are important factors in
the making of an influential
editorial column.
The republican newspaper
men of the state have many
good texts for their editorial
columns in the history of the
party, the record of it's leaders,
and the honesty and wisdom of
it's platform. Surely the record
of the party under such leaders
as Lincoln, Grant, Mckinley
and Roosevelt, the fact that it
is always abreast of the times,
always quick to respond to the
demands of the people, always
wise and careful in it's economic
and industrial policies, is good
and square enough to bring
every republican into line for
the national and state ticket in
this state. And the republican
newspapermen can do much
to help the party cause in the
coming election.

The Province Of a Newspaper.

Bismarck Tribune: The re-
sponsible newspapermen of the
western part of the state were
guests of the city Wednes-
day, and are to be congratu-
lated upon their coming to-
gether for an exchange of ideas
and a better understanding of
the best means to help along
the cause of republicanism in
in the state. We believe the
newspapermen are representa-
tive of their communities, and
are quick to see and under
stand public opinion. For that
reason their counsel is valuable
and their cooperation will be
helpful to the campaign mana
gers.

of his business, does much to.

Play Pleased a Big Audience.

The presentation of "A Bach
elor's Honeymoon at the
auditorium last evening was
witnessed by a big crowd, one
of the largest that ever assem-
bled there, and from the rise
of the curtain in the first act
till the conclusion of the per-
for,nance there was not a dull
moment. The ludicrous pre-
dicaments in which BENJAMIN
Bachelor found himself and the
awful shocks to the nerves of
Minerva, his maiden sister and
moral guardian kept the aud
ience convulsed in laughter.
Mr.. Green as Mr.. Bachelor
and Mr.. ellison as Or. Ludwig
Schwartz who was nursing a
secret sorrow were excellent
and the entire cast was good.
Particular interest was CEN
tered in Bella Rosa, who is
not only very clever actress
with a good voice, but wears
the famous directoire gown
which has created such a furore
throughout the world during g
the past few months. The
gown is the first one seen in
Crookston and it made a hit
with the men--and the ladies
also displayed just as much
curiosity as to how it appeared
in real life. Daily Journal,

COAL famine THREATENED,
Comparatively Little Coal Has Thus
Far Moved From Lakes.

Fargo Forum: Unless the
people of Minnesota and North
Dakota make an effort to put in
their coal supply Immediately,
there is danger of a repetition of
the" coal famine' conditions
which prevailed during the
winter of 1906 1907.
Up to the present time not
nearly enough coal, necessary
to meet the fall demand, has
moved from the head of the
lakes according to local rail
road officials,
The difficulty seems to be
with the individual consumers
more than retail dealers. The
people apparently do not realize
the necessity for putting in
their supply early.
There are approximately
5000, 600 tons of soft coal and
800, 600 tons of hard coal on the
docks at the head of the great
lakes now. Storage capacity
is taxed to the limit and serious
shortage is bound to occur
unless the roads are given an
opportunity to get the coal out
before the grain movement
sets in.
BY placing orders now for
immediate delivery, the con-
sumner not only gets a better
price but relieves the stora &c
bins of the retailers, thereby
enabling him to restock at
once.

his ingrained judicial temper

1t was a distinct sacrifice he
made when President McKin-
ley took him from life position
that he enjoyed, and that was
in the line of his dearest hopes,
to lay upon him the burden of
establishing peace and order
in the Philippines. The judg-
ment, tact and skill with which
he carried on that great task;
the candid diplomacy with
which he smoothed away per
picking obstacles; the unselfish
devotion with which he has
upheld the interests of those
faraway people in the face of
indifference at home, were an
honor to the nation. The same

for the defendant before re-
straining orders are issued;
pledges the party to the main
tenance of the primary election
law; favors the election of
senators by direct vote; the
personal attention by state Off

meet his constituents over the
