School News.

1
We are in our seventh week OF
school.
The institute was good and all the
teachers so far as we have heard, say
so.
Supt. Adrian stated a great many
things we know to be true and some
things were clearly told us that ought
to be told to parents and school
boards. We wish BOTH parents and
school authorities could be brought
together to listen to as many straight,
honest and candid talks on school
questions as were given to the teach
ers last week. We would have bet
ter schools could this be done. Our
teachers do not often give us the best
school they know how, but the best
the community will allow them to
give. We know of one country
school where an excellent teacher of
Normal training and wide experience
attempted to do the best she knew,
but was numerically criticised by the
parents of the district and so failed in
large measure to do good work
This is but one of many instances in
this and other counties. Many,
many times the teacher has more
trouble with the parents than with the
pupils.
President Mclean of the State uni
vcasity, gave us some good things in
his two talks to teachers. One of
them was that the university was at
tempting to give systematic and scien-
tific physical training to every pupil of
that institution, be they ever SO weak
and crooked. We believe this is
wise thing to do, and this one thing
is strong point with us in favor Of
the state university. Another state
ment of his that is coming to be more
widely recognized is that our schools
must train the hands as we'll as the
head-that we must prepare for life as
well as the university.
We had twenty one new pupils on
Monday of this week, FIVE in the
first grade, three in the third, two in
the fourth, three in the sixth, four in
the seventh, one in the eighth and
three in the high school.
Miss Gilman of the primary now
has eighty two little people whom she
is attempting to teach and is expected
to prepare for the second grade. Do
our readers think it possible for her
to teach all these as well as she could
one half so manyi
Miss Haley is again with her sixth
grade after having gone to Minnesota
to attend her mothers funeral.
We wish to commend the editor
of the Globe for his article on cor
poral punishment given two weeks
ago. We believe that his position is
both sound and sensible.
Those pictures on exhibition in
the express office window were
ordered from Horace X. Turner
company of Boston, by Superinten-
dent Cotton. who will be pleased to
order for those wanting them. See
him for prices.
/ Thirteen pupils selected from the
End, 3rd, and 4th grades, were placed
in the mixed grade on Tuesday morn
ing, so that now we have FIVE grades
represented in this overflow room.
We have just received set of The
Universal History, consisting of Is
large volumes of over 5000 pages.
This set was purchased during the
summer vacation by Mr.. Norman
! Atkinson from part of the proceeds
. of the entertainment given last spring.

ATTEMPT MADE TO
AssAssINATE ROOSEVELT

An Italian named Joseph Tosti,
who is said to he an anarchist, was
u passenger ON the ship in which
Mr.. Roosevelt started from New
York on his trip for Africa. When
the ship was near Horta, Fayal Is
lands, the Azores, the man made an
attempt to assassinatc Mr.. Roose-
welt. He was frustrated IN the act,
handcuiled and imprisoned.
1t seems that at some time Tosti's
son had been expelled from New
York City by the police, and ne APP
pealed to the White House to have
the expulsion revoked, but received
no answer. He applied to another
IN authority who told him that the
President could not interfere In II
question which only concerned the
New York Police; but Tosti took it
into his head that Roosevelt was to
blame, and that is supposed TO have
instigated the assault.

we have heretofore said, we do not
believe that constitutional con-

have, or one that would not prove
to need to be amended very shortly
after it was adopted. Any short

could be as eEectually remedied by
amendment as by any attempr Of a

prove it,
