DISREGARD FOR LAW

One of the unsolved puzzles of hum
an nature is the fact that many people
do not consider it morally an ofiense to
violate certain classes of laws, such. as
those restricting and regulating the sale
of liquor. There are people VINO
wouldn't steal a horse or hold up a
traveller, but who see no reason why
one shouldn't sell booze in violation of
law, prov. ding he is ''cute" enough to
escape discovery. Their moral sense
seems to be much like that of the negro
who declared there was no crime in
lifting" chickens, but only in getting
caught.
Drunkenness is disgusting to every
sane person, and has been a subject of
denunciation from all quarters since the
earliest periods of history. Liquor
dealers themselves have no excuse to
offer for it. In order to prevent drunk
enness and it's accompaniments, power
ty, disease and crime, every civilized
country has adopted laws restricting
and regulating the sale of liquor. These
laws are not revolutionary in character,
sweeping away or violating rights or
supposed rights, but have been grad
ually evolved as circumstances required,
and have behind them the sanction of
legislatures and courts and the people
for long period. Probably no other
class of Legislation has been given fuller
consideration by Legislators and judges.
In view of these facts, isn't it strange
that supposedly law abiding people can
wink at and even sympathize with vio-
lations of the liquor laws?

SCHOOL GARDENS IN TWO RIVERS

In the spring of 1903 it was scggest-
ed that the teachers urge the pupils to
do all they could toward making their
back and front yards more presentable.
The work was planned in the school
room. Arrangements were made for
an exhibit of flowers and vegetables
grown by the children during the sum-
mer of 1909. Parents were instructed
that the entire care of the gardens was
to be left to the children and that NJ
aid other than advice was to be given
them.
The exhibit was held one month after
the schools opened in the fall. Separate
prizes had been offered to the primary
and grammar grades. No admission
was charged and the attendance was
very large. There were two hundred
entries. The prizes were offered by
the business men of the city and the
judges were practical gardeners anc
teachers.
The work was done in the home gar.
dens. AS result the parents became
greatly interested in the work, and in
many cases the parents admit having
learned valuable points about garden
making.

BOYS STUDY GRAINS AT UNIVERSITY

A class of 20 farm boys, IL to 16
years of age, pursued the boys grain
course at the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin last week.
This is the first time that the course
has been given at the university. and
great interest was shown by the young
people. Two days were devoted to
corn, and two to barley and other small
grains. In the morning of each day
the boys listened to interesting address
es on subjects of general interest re-
lating to farming, and later took up
laboratory work in testing grains and
judging methods of culture.
Each day visit of inspection was
made to other buildings of the univer-
sity, which gave the boys better idea
of what college education in agriculture
means. In the evenings they attended
the regular evening actresses in the
farmers course Most of the boys
came as winners of the scholarships
awarded for exhibits of grains of their
own growing at various county fairs.

RELATION OF HIGH SCHOOLS TO COLLEGES

Referring to higher education, W. F.
Webster, President of the Minnesota
State Teachers Association, says that
the high schools of the state devote too
much energy to educating students for
the university. He said that one high
school student out of six enters college
and that the high school should serve
the five rather than the one. He says
it is impossible in the smaller school TO
separate students who are going to
college and those who are not, saying
Glasses would be so small that the
community could not stand the enor-
nous cost. In small schools there is
but one thing to do: All pupils must
work together. And if, perchance,
there be one youth who would go for
ward with his education, the university
should receive such student. If the
list of entrance requirements is too
narrow to allow such youth to pass
its portals, then they must be widened.
Wherever ambition for more knowledge
is found with intellectual power, no
matter how that power has been devel-
oped it is the duty of great state to
foster it; never forgetting that the
strength of the nations has always come
from the countrysides. School Educa-
