Course in Good Manners.

Topeka, Sept Kansas school chill
6ren are to be taught morals ard man
ners hereafter The State Board of
E incation has. made some changes IN
the course of study Of the common
schools OF the state. The chief addi-
tion to the course is that of industrial
instruction and ethics
The board did not go iato details
about what the teac hers were TO instil1
into the minds of the children, except
that il desired the Kansas young gster
to be better hammered in the future.
The small BOY is to be taught that
playing marbles for keeps is a sin and
that he ought not to do it. Also, that
it is age n : the rules Of the school and
very bad form for boy while in school
to roll Up hunk OF paper and chew i.
good, and then. throw it across the
room, hitting a girl with big curls JUS
under the ear. causing her to cry out
in meeting.
Fighting is to be discouraged and the
tattle-tale is to be abolished The
small girl mustn't chew gum or eat
candy Or cake in school or whisper
when the teacher isn't looking.
Then both the boys and girls are to
be taught to speak respectfully to the
teachers and elders and say eyes and
mo- instead of yep and ''yea" and
nope" In fact the course of study
provides for complete instruction for
the small boy and girl in conducting
themselves in gentlemanly ard wom-
anly manner.

The following from the Ellsworth
Messenger shows that county has pro-
fited by our Experiment Station work:
Last spring the county commissioners
got pure seed from the Hays branch of
the State Agricultural college, and
planted it on the poor farm east of
town. Twenty-Five acres were planted
to corn, six or seven to sorghum, two
or three to kafir corn and seven acres
were given to fourteen varieties of
corn. The idea in planting the seven
acres to the fourteen different varieties
was to demonstrate just what variety
of corn is best adapted to this part of
the state. The people of this county
are earnestly asked to drive to the poor
farm to see these growing crops. The
twenty-five acres planted to corn looks
fine; that it is not burned as much of
the corn in the country is this fall, and
that it will yield from forty to fifty
bushels to the acre. The sorghum is
pronounced unusually fine by judges.
The seed from these crops will be care
fully gathered and sold to anyone who
may care to use it for next years
crops" This is a good way to intro
duce good seed into each county in the
western half Of the State.
