WHAT IS wRoSG WITH SCHOOLS?

l.
During the past summer the public
has thrown several kinds of fits over
What is the matter with our schools?"
A majority of the editors and many
leading citizens" and Taxpayers have
yfilled much space with much twaddle
The occasion Of this outbreak was
the failure of several high school grad
yates to pass the June examinations
for teachers certificates. If public in
dignation will continue and lead to a
thorough investigation Of school mat
tiers, much good may result from the
agitation; for every one admits that
our schools are not what they SHOULD
1t is our opinion, however that none
Of the theories advanced by the critics
has reached the mark. The critics are
wholly wrong when they hold school
teachers responsible for the short-com-
ings of our schools. They are wrong
also when they blame college officials
for insisting on high standards for en-
trance to freshmen classes.
The public is to blame and not the
teachers or the colleges. The teach
ers are doing the best they can under
the circumstances The colleges are
merely protecting higher education. III
the public were as alert in protecting
the interests of the masses as the COL
leges are in protecting themselves then
the teachers might justly be held re-
| sponsible for unsatisfactory results.
| It is assumed that all will favor the
maintaining in our high schools or
courses of study that will At for col

THE "BOYSON IDEA"
Cedar Rapids Republican,.

lGSuAA TNdpiOS 1tepuDllCduJ j.
Mr.. Boyson Of this city ought to be
greatly pleased with the position taken
by the president Of the National Drug
gists' Association. Mr.. Boyson has for
many years been lighting certain
abuses of the druggists business. The
national president has now declared
that 1t is incumbent on the druggists
themselves to enforce reforms in the
sales of dope" and Intoxicating liq-
uors. He regards the "dopes" as quite
as serious as liquors. and even more
so. In that he is right. The drug
gist Is the custodian OF health and he
Is bound to make a moral administra-
ton of his business if he would not
endanger the public. The sale of harm
full drugs to the people can not be reg
ulated entirely by constables, it must
in part be regulated by the druggists
them selves.

bellied leather sack which ne prouSn'
in when he and the postmistress were
on good terms or threw out upon the
ground with a flourish when the en-
tente cordiale had been disturbed. He
stood largely upon his dignity and
privilege as a government employe, es-
pecially that provision which gave
him the right TO keep the Travelled
track without turning out for the teams
of common citizenship-a privilege
much condemned and resented by the
canaille, and provocative Of fierce and
uncomplimentary interchange of re-
marks directed at appearance and con-
nected with Immediate ancestry
Some times he had passengers, peering
mournfully out from the Tapping SIDE
curtains. Invariably he developed
sourness of disposition and lost hope.
1t was a hopeless task. That a grown
man. a team and wagon should drive
thtrty-fiv miles over q rough road,
stopping six different times at differ
ent country stores and farm houses
10 deliver at each two letters and a
belated copy of the weekly New York
Tribune, was conducive to pessimism
and moral decay. He kept the job. He
couldn't get out of it, He was under
bond and in peril of the law But ex-
of deliverance as the Hebrew thraH
the year OF Jubilee, sold his mules,
shaved. washed his face. combed his
hair and once more saw a glimmer OF
hope on the horizon Of the future. A
few were utterly crushed They
drove stage until they disappeared, no
one remembers how Does any one
know what went with the old stage
driver?
The salary of the cross roads post
office sometimes ran as high as $40
a year, but it was usually marked down
to s3s The postmistresses were gener-
ally disliked. She collected postage on

Church Buried in sand for Centuries

IN
After having been buried for several
hundred years in immense sand drifts,
ST Edenock's church, in Cornwall
England, is now being used once more
as a place of worship. The edifice
was built about 1900 AID 1t is sit
uated near the shore, in a section OF
the country which is almost devoid OF
vegetation, great sand riffs covering
many square miles. High winds, blow
ing in from the sea, piled the sand UP
over the church, completely burying
it. No attempt was made to dig It
out for several hundred years. A few
years ago, however, work was begun,
and the ancient church was repaired
and services held In IL.

clear and convincing a manner that
his audience was moved to unusual
