How many of our school childrens
parents ever visit the schools or even
know the teachers when they meet
them? How many know what their
children are studying, or how they are
progressing? Is there any of you who
have building to erect or fence to
build; dress to make; a house to
paint, or whatever the job may be,
that say to the one you have employed;
"Here are the tools and material, 60
ahead and do it to suit YOURSELF 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 pencil, 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 a dreSs-maker, or a paint
err, knows better how to do the work
than you do, yet you do not leave it all
to them. On the rising generation de-
ponds the welfare of this great nation.
Patrons and parents take more interest
in our schools and visit them often,
and by your presence give the teachers
more encouragement; ask them how
your children are doing. Perhaps
few minutes talk with them will save
trouble that years to come can never
undo. Think about this and ask your
self if you are doing right.
our teachers are working hard and
successfully but they never know
whether their work is appreciated or
not unless they have some intimation
to the effect from the patrons of the
schools. Parents should make it Il
point to visit the schools. Kindly
visits from parents have an inspiring
influence both for teacher and pupils
and if the visit be accompanied by an
occasional word of encouragement so
much the better.

An examination of 2ll grade children
and III country children was recently
made by w. S. Smiley of the Universe
ty of Puget Sound to determine the
difference in knowledge of arithmetic,
geography, grammar history, and
spelling. Upon the comparison of the
results it was found that the children
from the country had received a high
er average per cent in every branch.
In commenting on the results, Profess
sor Smiley, writing in The Journal of
Educational Psychology says: ITO
what are we to attribute this superior
ity of country children? Certainly it
is not due to the superiority of their
teachers, the better quality of their
texts, the length of the school year, or
the equipment of their schools 1t is
more likely due to the lack of cor
relation between the urban community
and the school, and the infleXibility of
the graded system, two conditions that
indicate inferiority on the part of the
city schools rather than superiority on
the part Of the rural Schools
While this experiment by no means
demonstrates the superiority of count
ry schools in general, yet it indicates
the possibilities of good one-room rural
schools with all their disadvantages,
which are many.

The total list of deaths in aviation
accidents up to date is less than
twenty. No one would willingly
detract from the the glory of these
gallant pioneers, but the public lacks
discrimination in its sentiment. Ger
tainly neither the railroad nor steam
nor electricity was advanced to an
analogous degree of perfection with
so few fatalities. Not a mile of
steel rail but represents fatalities,
hardly a bridge over a great river
but includes several dead men
in its cost. Along some parts of the
transcontinental railroads the un-
marked graves of obscure laborers
are almost as numerous as the ties.

1t is an odd fact that of the English
actors knighted all but one had first
to legalize the names under which they
had won fame. The question arose
with the first proposition to confer
knighthood on gypsy. 1t would be
absurd so to honor one John Henry
Brodribb. Yet legally no such person
as Henry Irving" existed. no such
obstacle had to be overcome when. on

The Old EnaIish Prize Rina.

In the latter days Of the English
prize ring innumerable expedients had
to be devised to bring off Il fight. A
favorite plan was to pitch the ring on
the borders of two counties. so that
the question Of magisterial jurisdiction
might be rendered difficult. Another
plan was to charter a steamboat and
proceed down the Thames to some
lonely police forsaken spot in the
marshes of Essex. For the memorable
contest between Sayers and Heenan in
1860 a special train was run from Lon
don bridge to secret destination.
But the passengers. who comprised
members Of parliament. peers. pick
pockets, pugilists, clergy and. it is
said. few bishops. cheerfully took
tickets simply marked "excursion."
They presently found themselves near
Farnborough, in Surrey. where the
fight occurred.-London Chronicle.

AS county auditor R. c. Hayne1
has made good. An improved
method has been adopted in
the handling of county business
records that were in so termed lax
condition, from all reports appear in
proper shape to day, the back work
that was much in evidence when he
took the oath of office has all of il
been brought right up to the minute
according to reports from that office.
And R. c. Hayner has done it. He
has served the county we'll during
his short term. It required hard
and concientious work to accom-.
plish these results and a man who
has done so much for the tax payers
in so little time is at least entitled

BEMIDJpS DEBT OF GRATITUDE.

Mr.. "Nubs of News" man of the
Grand Forks Herald arises to re-
mark:
The Bemidji city council has
decided not to begin any park i'm.
provements this year, but these will
be undertaken in the near future.
The really important thing is that
Bemidii has property now which will
make an exceedingly fac park when
ever the work is intelligently under.
taken. The city borders the land
for long distance, and through the
wise forethought of someone whose
name ought to be craven in letters
of gold in some suitable place, the
whole lake front was reserved as a
possession of the city. It can be
improved whenever the spirit moves
the people,"
And let US hope that said spirit is

This story. found in Rev. DR.. Henry
II. Jessup's book. "Fifty-three Years in
SYRIA" seems to indicate that religious
vagaries are as short lived in the east
as elsewhere. A friend of DR.. Jessup,
visiting Jerusalem, met a queer look
ing solitary stranger pacing the streets
Of the city. accosted him. and after the
usual greetings remarked:
"You are an American, l infer"
Yes. / am" replied the queer look
ing man.
And what are you doing here, If l
may ask?"
''Ah. yes. I'm glad you asked. You
see. I've come to preach the new doc
trine. that there is to be no more death.
If men will only accept it, We'll abolish
death. and there'll be no more dying.
nor graves. nor coftins. nor funerals.
We shall just live right on"
But" said DR.. Jessup's friend. "sup-
posing you should sicken and die, what
then?"
"Oh," said the man. that would bust
the whole thing"'
And it did. The poor delirious apos-
tie died few months later, and with
him his new doctrine"

WHAT WOULD He DO?

At the last session of congress,
$1,000 bills were introduced. Out
of these between 900 and 400 pass
ed and became laws. Among the
bills which passed and are now
laws, are these:
Revising the railroad laws and
creating an interstate commerce
court.
Establishing a postal saving
bank system.
Admitting New Mexico and Ari-
zona as states.
Appropriatlng $40, 900, 900 to
complete reclamation projects.
Creating a bureau of mines.
Providing for the publicity OF
campaign contributions.
SURPRISING the white.slave
traffic.
Authorizing the President to
withdraw from entry public lands
as he wishes for conservation.
Appropriating $25o,ooo for the
use of the Tariff Board.
Can you remember of a congress
that has produced a better list of
beneficial measures?
President Taft has delivered the
goods and with congress that will
never be noted for its harmony.

more nearly fits the case:

Nothing Theodore Roosevelt has
done in his public career has been
more significant, more timely, nor
more courageously right than his pre-
emptory refusal to sit down to
public dinner with William Lorimer,
Any man who clings to public
Office when his election is shadowed
by fraud, as Lorimer has clung to
the high office of senator, deserves
the staggering rebuke he has re-.
ceived from Mr.. Roosevelt.
A hide so thick that it has with
stood four confessions like those of
Holstlaw, White, Beckemeyer and
Link, hardly will finch from the
brusque treatment of the the Hamil-
ton club. 1t may be doubted if
anything less imperative would
have been noticed. Mr.. Lorimer
does not withdraw readily.
Mr.. Roosevelt has set an example
which might be followed to the gen.
eral benefit. If there was less CON-
placent acceptance among men of
careers and personalities like Lori
mer's there would be a good deal
less unclea1 politics and unclean
business. Honorable men should not
be led by unthinking good nature
into giving social recognition to men
whose activities they know to be
hurtful and dangerous to the public
welfare"

ROOSEVELT DID RIGHT.

Colonel Roosevelt never did
braver thing, nor one that deserves
the admiration which he is receiv-
ing from the nation, than his publicly
announced determination not to sit
by the side of man who faces un-
contradicted charges of fraud and
still insists on remaining member
of the United States senate.
More humorous than anything
else therefore, is the following from
the Chicago Inter Ocean, a news
paper owned by the same Senator
Lorimer:
"A New York paper once stated
that Colonel Roosevelt's alienation,
Justification and publication of
private correspondence several years
ago was adequate cause for his ex-
pulsion from any gentleman's club
in the country. A similar comment
applies in this case. He played
dirty trick and was not ashamed. No
principle of honor, no scruple of
decency, once crossed his mind. 1t
is sad, but it is true.
AS regards the conduct of the
Hamilton club, it is difficult to see
how that organization can maintain
itself as gentlemen's club when,,
on the order of a private citizen, it's
officers will go out of their way to
insult guest who has disarmed
himself by trusting to the clubs
hospitality. That they lent them
selves to a cowardly personal ven-
geance, despite Colonel Roosevelt's
usual high professions of moral
motives, is shown by the nature o.
the political feud between Colonel
Roosevelt and MI. Lorimer, which,
after seven years, eliminated in this
scurvy blow below the belt.
"The New York Evening Post
recently summarized Colonel
Roosevelt's character as that of
man 'who talks big and acts mean
Colonel Roosevelt replies: 1T is
lie.'
els it a lie? No, it is the truth,
the sorry truth, and Colonel Roose-
welt himself has proved it,"

Earlv landhoIdino.

Nothing is clearer than the fac that
the system Of landholding in the most
ancient races was communal. Private
right in land was for long time un-
known, the source Of life being held in
common between the members Of the
tribe. Not only land. but all property
that in any way had to do with the
general welfare, was looked up.n as
belonging to the whole tribe in COM
mon, no individual having the right to
call it his own. Gradually and after
very long time, under the old regime,
the right Of private ownership began
to creep in until at last it became the
recognized rule pretty nearly tvery-
where.-New York American.
