EVIL SPIRITS IN WIRES

The modern marvels of electric
lty have rot been appreciated by
the South American Indians. A
telephone line had been laid be-
tween La Paz, Bolivia, and Lake
Titicaca, is miles away, but the
Indians got the idea that the much
sounding talk Of the white man
that could he heard thus far would
disturb the long sleep Of their
ancestors, so they stole the wire
and used the poles as fire wood
WheE the line was rebuilt, the
Indians repeated the operation until
the lines was abandoned. Next
they turned their attention to the
electric light plant. After the
plant had been in operation a few
nights there was an eclipse of the
moon. and the Indians, believing
that the elerictric light was
swallowing the moon, moved upon
the plant to destroy it. The
troops had to be called out to save
the plant. but as troops could not
he employed permanently. the
American engineer devised another
plan. He selected three repre-
sentative. chiefs. shocked them
slightly. and then took them along
the line and gave them some
rousing shocks. The Indians went
home and reported that the wire
was controlled by evil spirits, and
t::at it was useless to contend with
an enemy that could twist them
into kinks when miles away. Since
then there has been no further
trouble

THE GROWING PERIL

W. balieVs that bath parties are
dominated in con: by the gold
combine of the east. BY that we
do not mean that congress is a
corrupt tody. that any material
number Of the members are cor
rupt, but they are afraid to. risk
the fate Of their party by pressing
any unpopular measure. After
twenty years of toll and immense
expense. by a shameful use of
money, after. flooding the country
with false literature and the most
appalling falsehoods ever told. that
same combine of!interest gathercrs
succeeded in carrying the election
Of 1896 and then only by .promis-
ing. that an earnest effort should be
made to have the question settled
by international conference.
President Mckinley tried to
carry out that pledge, but was
defeated by that same combine,
helped by Bond street, London, and
10y Lyman Gage Of Chicago one of
the combine, who was then secretary
Of the treasury. Since then no one
has seemed to dare to mention
silver in congress. And though
our own country has received from
sources that no human mind could
then have predicted, unheard sums
Of gold still the panic Of 1907 made
clear that the men in that combine
who really have the control of the
gold in circulation have not the
ability to enough separate them
selves from their own schemes to
be the safe guides of a national
financial system. But they still
control the gold and the great
press of the east are so dominated
by that same band that they dare
not explain to the masses of the
people that our export trade was
by silver decentralization killed to

legislation at the same time in
creased the grinding competition
which the awakening east is heap

 This teacher must be youthful in spirit; he or she may be sixty years of age and have the fire of perennial youth: he may be twenty-five and be utterly devoid of intellectual and moral dynamite. The teacher who is out of relation with youth. should be dropped at once. regardless of his or her learning If he is full of youth full spirit knowledge of his subject and a good sense in imparting it. he is co-partner with the home: yes he often can do for the child what the parent fails to accomplish.

towns this show is becoming the main form of entertainment for youth; the boy or girl jaded with the days work in the factory is lifted above his or dinary life. and attends with bated interest the dramas shown on the screen. That you and I fail to see anything amusing or entertaining in the pictures is beside the mark. the boys and girls do and the show be comes a favOritc topic of converse lion. Some of our own Arizona cities have found these shows exhibiting thoroughly vicious subjects; the in fmence goes deep. and the cheapncss of the show puts il within the reach of every boy and girl. The drama is here to stay and every community must make terms with it by encOur- aging and using those that make the youth better and not worse.
 Public Fairgrounds.
 Our largest cities have found one of their best investments in public 'playgrounds and gymnasa. The youth will have recreation. Here it is pro vided generously and under expert supervision Under one roof may be gymnasium. billiard room, and hall for assembly and dancing. Public dance halls have been a by-word fin some cities. but not necessarily. Such institutions may be directed as well as others. but it takes the right man to do it. Smaller cities could do the same thing by cooperation. Let the athletic director of the high school or of the Y M. C. \. be the director of the playground. The fuller the CO., operation of all people of the town. the better the salary that may be paid, and the better the man to be got. But this director must be one of the nobility mean. in character. for his molding influence will be felt not only in the games but in the hearts of the boys and girls
 As leave the subject of public recreations I would remind you that the youth has a second childhood from II tn IS years of age. Child hood" I say in the sense that since the years of his infancy. he has never been so impressionable as now; and he knows himself no better than he did then. IL would he the height of unwisdom to expect a four or five year old child to cast about and find the right way for himself; almost as much so in the case Of the sixteen year old Whether ar not the family and the public want to take the re- sponsiblity Of caring for the boys and girls just coming into maturity. they must. or take the consequences.
 The School and the Home.
 When the school and the home come to a right view of their inter-rela- tionship. they will come into closer cooperation. The home must look on the school as an extension of it's own work: the school must regard the home as an essential factor to it's own success.
 Parents have right to insist that the teacher be a real teacher. not simply pedagogue. not a time server but man or woman who is in the business because he loves it and wouldn't do anything else if he could. They need in the teacher supplement to their own moral and social influence. and they should have it: teacher of sound character and moral earnestness, one who cares more about boys and girls than money. promotion. reputation, or even learning; but if he isn't studious

the grades should talk about it to their children. They have not dis charged their responsibility when they have taught well in their own schools; they must look to the higher school and turn the child towards it. college teacher takes special de- light in the later success of his Stu- dents; let the grade teachers have the same aspiration for theirs and urge them tO the fullest education they can get. High school teachers will be interesting to parents and children if they talk the school to them. No subject more interests par ents than the education of their chil- dren. As much as their principal these teachers should feel the respon- sibility for getting students for the school All teachers are in the mis- sionary business and they might as well go the full length. do all they can, and get all the satisfaction that goes with the work.
 But we waste our breath if we exhort in season and out of season and do not provide in the school in spring and helpful education. And Tor this SO much does not depend on the subject taught as on the skin and enthusiasm of the teacher.

For fifteen years this man was the intellectual as well as spir itual guide of a crowd of boys and girls No other teacher occupies such a position While good form keeps his auditors in order, it does not command their attention and active interest He has limited time for his instruction and so all the keener the demand for such preparation of the sermon as will leave an intellectual as well as moral impress If more preachers would follow the laws of pedagogics that good teachers must follow. and would interpret their functions as generally educative as well as stimulating to a true religion.
  would seek the church for it's inspir ing influence, and possibly the min ister would regain something of his power in colonial days when he was the pedagogue par excellence of the town.
 Chautauqua.
 As. for Chautauquas. lyceum courses and other forms of public literary en- tertainment. they. too, should be chosen or arranged. not independently of other educational work, not be- cause a given topic or speaker will draw the largest audience. but to CO., operate with all other instructional activities The city and county super intendent of schools should be called in for advice before any such pro gram is offered the public.
 Recrestions.
 The recreations of town are often as important for its youth as the di- rect work of education. Sports and pastimes often made all that the school and church attempt to do. It is a city's duty to make it's public recreatiOns wholesome for youth. No public games or contests should be tolerated that undermine good morals. Many people will think at once of the saloon. Bad as its influence is on young men, it often fails to turn the fine edge Of aspiration as much as sensual dramas or public game played dishonesty and boOrishlY. The community that does not provide clean sport at a low price is doomed to the degeneracy of it's youth who copy in their own lives the scenes and associations of vicious recre- ations A clean well-played football game gives a boy thrills of animal pleasure and an aspiration to do 1t himself
 Moving Pictures.
 The moving picture show is the newest and at present the most ac- tive competitor of the school. The Stereopticon shuts off all other sights except those on the screen and has the benefit of concentrated attention. The moving film completes the at traction. Until the shOwmen have come to some sense of responsibility as public educators as well as enter tainers, every moving picture show should submit to public censor ev- cry change of bill and then the hall should have frequent and unan- noUnced inspection.
