SCHOOLS AS THEY EXIST AND HOW TO MAKE THEM BETTER A
 

Florida War; 1S36-Arkansas 1887 Michigan.
 1 submit the propositior; is there anything in such an outline to hinder any number of pupils in a class from finding all that can be had in the books at hand about Jackson, about his veto and it's result, about the Blackhawk war, the tariff at that time, the 5. c. Notification, it's cause and Jack sons effective dealing with it, etc? Then, 1t necessarily follows that any pupil in the grades studying United States history will be able to find much more concerning the subj than if he pursued the textbook plan or the plan of merely reading 1t. Iu conclusion upon this objection, we kindly solicit the brothers spe- cihc objections, If he does not yet see how he may use good course.
 In the same meeting, il will be recalled by those present that the chairman gave it as his opinion that it was not advisa ble to try to ] use course uf study until the county had a uniformity of text books.
 We cheerfully admit that uni formity of readers is desirable, if reading is to be taught from the ordinary reader, and yet we shall have more to say upon the subject ere we close these articles. In spelling we would dssire some author, yet, good spoilers can be made in another way; as to Geog- raphy and U. 5. history, the more authors the better; give us a dozen or more authors on these subjects and we will show you a live wile on the line of investiga- tion and toPscal recitation. All narrowness and pedantry disap- pears with the knowledge gleaned from a variety of texts. Gram mar is best taught from a half dozen authors as reference. They force topical luvestiga tion; the same IS true of arithmetic-anbi- tion to know all in the several texts puts enthusiasm into the classes. After all this. we have no serious objection to uniform ity, since the teacher who uses a course will consult ali the texts obtainable anyhow. Give us a course and competition, along with professional teaching, soon follows.

MAY REJECT PRIMARIES
Cost to Candidates to Get ol Ticket Causes Dissatisfaction Am)ng
 Office seekers,

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-One of the results of the determination of nu- merous counties to charge stltt candidates a fee for placing their names on the ticket in such countie: has been to revive the idea of con vention for nominating candidates instead of resorting to the primary election.
 The present primary election sys- tenn has been in vogue only ten or twelve years, and one county, Ran dolph, never has adopted it. Nomi- nees are still chosen there through the convention plan.
 It is invariably admitted that the convention plan is much cheaper, and other arguments are advanced in it's favor. The principal objection by state candidates to the present sys- tenn, however, as some of the coun- ties threaten to practice it, is its responsiveness.
 Taking, for instance. the fees de- manded in Faulkner county for plac ing state candidates name on the ticket" said prominent candidate, in discussing the matter. "and it would mean cost of $750 for 8 candidate to merely get his name on the ticket in all the counties. This would be one-thrd of the average state officials yearly salary. And every county has the right to charge candidate these fees, if it is grant. ed that any single county has that right"
 Another state candidate frankly admit ed that he would welcome a return of the convention practice for nominating men for office in the party.
 ''The old system was criticised to some extent on the ground that it gave candidates an opportunity for log rolling at the convention" said he, "yet nobody will deny that we did not have the best men of the county or district to name our can didates, instead of leaving it often to the chance work of a political 'heeler.' In the convention every man got up and spoke what he thought and there was no chance for the 'heeler' to get in his work. {"
 Incidentally, some of the candi- dates have practically declared they will not pay what they regard as an un-called for assessment. even if their names should be left off the l ticket in some counties.

That Simple Problem.

At this time we have received five solutions of Mir. Goodwins problem, printed in The Star a week since. Four of them are wrong; the fifth is solved by Prof. J. B. Earle of Granuis, essential ly as follows: Change the frac. tions to o0ths; the results are 20, Is, l2 and 10 60ths respect. ively; hence we deal with these as in whole numbers making 20, Is, l2 and 10 57ths, of $60 in order, resulting in S2l and 1-l9th, SIS and 15-19ths, SIP and l2-19ths, $l0 and To- 19ths, the correct an swers.
 Prof. Earl says, "This problem was given to the Eth grade class in arithmetic at the time of their recitation and solution was given at that recitation. n.'
 He also sends the following problem for the 7th and Sth grade pupils of the county stating that his 7th grade solved it without assistance. (Which has the greater surface and how much, a cube whose solid contents arc 4096 cubic feet or a rectangular solid having the same contents, whose width is twice it's height, and whose height is one. third It's length.

WORKMEN ON STATE
 CAPITOL WALK OUT
Strike Called by Building Trades COun- ell and IFS Men Quit Work Only Corvicts
 Remain.

Little Rock, Ark, February A. Because Haley & Hort ioroo,, i, who are doing the cornice and sheet metal work on h c new state capitol building, are work ing nonuniou sheet metal workers on the job, all union men employ ed on the building, IFS in number, walked out at 4:45 o'clock yester- day afternoon. Ooly the couvicts and h nonunion sheet metal workers remained at work after the walkout.
 The strike was called Dv he Executive Committee of the Building Trades Council at a meeting held at 4:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon, following tic final refusal of Haley & Horni, brook to sign an agreement recog. nizing the Sheet Metal Workers Union.
 Haley aud Hornibrook agreed to put union men on the capitol job and agreed to sign the unior scale of wages, but refused to unionize their shops, J. M. Horni- brook, member of the frr, stated last night. This shoJ, along with the two other pri1c pal tin shops in Little Rock. hS been open since June l, when the sheet metal workers walked ou,. Commission May Take Over Work.
 If Haley & Hornibrook remain steadfast in their refusal to sig the uuion agreement and do no put union men on the capitol job, is probable that the Capitol Com mission will take over all the Cor nice and sheet metal work on lh, building and employ union men directly to do the work, according to statement made by Governor George W. Donaghey last n gh,.

A. E. WEAR SPEAKS
 TO THE FARMERS
The Man Who First Broke Ground With Home Made Flow and Yoke of Steers Tells of His Plans to Direct
 Scientific Farming.

To the Farmers of Polk county:
 As soon I am fully instructed d in my duties as demonstrate n agent for this county, in tbe farmers cooperative demonstfa- a. tisu work. 1 will be among the farmers in all parts of the county. 1 am very much interested in the move, for 1 see great possibilities for the improvement of our meth ods of farming.
 Agriculture is one of the great est of sciences, but farming is au art, best learned by intelligent ex- perimentipg and best taught by o b je ct lessons. The average farmer has not time and oppor- tunity to conduct these extensive and sometimes expensive expert ments, but for twenty years the United States government has had paid officials to conduct these ex- perimeuts and Tn this way we have learned by actual tests, rum mug through serles of years, that some varieties of corn, cot ton and other staple crops yield much larger returns than do other varieties under the same condi- tions, also that certain methods of cultivation are far better than other methods, and now that all of these things have been learned, 1t is we'll that the mass of the farmers get the benefit of this knowledge and begin to turn Il to practical use in the growing of their crops. This is the aim of the demonstration work, and 1t is proposed to accomplish this bv having as many farmers as care to test these things for themselves, lay out part of their crop to be planted and cultivated according to the instructions given.
 We want the farmers in every part of the county to think of this and as many as would like 10 try few acres on this plan write me at Board Camp. saying where your farm is located and the kind and amount of crop you wish to try, and 1 will be around 10 see you as soon as possible. Ia the mean time, select the land you wish to work on this plan and make the best preparation of the land that you can. l am not coming to tell you what I know about farming, but to help you to carry out the instructions given you from the government.
 l have lived on 3 farm here Tn
 Polk county all my life and have
 made crop every year since l
 nave been large enough to work * One of my earliest memories is
 breaking land with ll-tongue 8 plcw on home made stock, drawn by yoke of oxen. have been careful student of farmlng, under the limited means at my command, and, like the rest of you. know something of the prac- tical side of farming, and now that we have the opportunity off, fered us of learning to do things in better way. Let us go hearti- I ly into the work.
 The farmers of this part are very anxious to undertake the
 work. A number of the more en-
 terprisiug ones have called on me
 already for information, aud some
 ot them talk of working a large per cent or their crops by the government instruction.
 Yours for better farming,

In sickness, if a certain hidden nerve goes wrong, then the organ that this nerve controls will also surely fail It may be Stomach nerve. or it may have given strength and sup port to the Heart or Kidneys. It was Dr. Shoop that first pointed to this vital truth. Dr, Shoop's Restorative was not made to dose the Stomach nor to temorarily stimulate the Heart or Kidneys. That old-fashioned method is all wrong. Dr. Shoop's Restora- tive goes directly to these failing in- side nerves.

DOG AND CAT FIGHT
TEARS UP A TREE

"A bull dog chasing a cat interested
me for a few minutes today" said Wal
ter Cameron, bookkeeper for Walters
and Blake, contractors. 1.-THE cat was
huge fellow, while the dog was a pup
about nine months old. The dog ran the
cat around the house twice, when the
feline sought safety In the upper part
of an oak sapling, which had just been
planted in the sidewalk. The pup was a
bit non-plussed for a moment, then he
developed into a raging thing and tore
at the small tree in an effort to get
the cat His plunging loosened the tree
in its soft bedding of dirt and gradually
worked 1t free. 1t leaned over slightly
and then another plunge by the "purp'
sent the tree topping over. The cat
gave a nightly spring and landed upon
the sidewalk. But its hope of escape
was futile. for the bulldog was upon he
cats back by the time 1t struck the
walk. Five minutes later all that was
left of the cat was handful of fur. He
made a game fight for life, however,
and Prince was badly scratched, his
stomach especially being badly lacerat-
