SCHOOL SYSTEM OF
THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

cared for and returned at the end of
each term OF school.
Some Have Free Books.
Some of the northern states have
free text books for all students and
though some of the Illinois voters have
agitated this move, they have not yet
succeeded in embodying it in the state
laws.
A certificate Of the first grade is
valid in the county for two years and
certifies that the person to whom such
certificate is issued is of good charac-
ter and qualified to teach photography
reading in English, penmanship, arith-
metic, English grammar, modern geog-
raphy, civics, the elements of the
natural sciences. the history of the
United States, the history Of Illinois
physiology and the laws of health.
The nature of alcoholic drinks and
other narcotics and their effects on the
human system is taught in connection
with the various divisions of physi-
ology, and hygiene as thoroughly as
are the other branches in all schools
under state control, or supported
wholly or in part by public money and
also in all schools connected with re-
formatory institutions.
Women are allowed to vote at any
election held for the purpose OF
choosing any school officer.
This is but, hasty resume of a few
Of the laws governing the common dis
trict schools and does not relate to the
city nor the high schools, and the
county normal schools are feature in
themselves.
There are also parental schools in
which children who cannot for some
reason attend the regular schools and
yet are noe considered bad enough for
the reformatories, are placed.
There are also schools for the deaf
and dumb also classes for the Grip
pied children.
Illinois has a large number Of kinder
gartens established for children be-
tween the ages of four and six years.
There is provision made for teachers
pension, but it Is impossible to more
thar touch upon these features in enc
article.
While the schools Of today are doing
much for the student, the dreamer
looks forward to the time when the
school houses as well as the churches
shall be great social centers. When
they will be used in the evenings for
lures, club meetings, public concerts
and other recreative purposes
And as VIII r. Shier says, THE
schools of tomorrow will be closely
identified with industry and commerce.
The children will be taught to make
things as well as study things. There
will be less book learning and more
manual training. The creative instinct
will be given ample outlet"
The schools of tomorrow will de-
velop individuality by encouraging
originality. They will cultivate the
habit of research, the power of thought
and the practice of close observation.
And what is of the greatest Importance
they will foster in children a love for
study instead of forcing them to stuff
their minds with lot of unimportant
information in order to pass exarnina-
tons The world needs trained think
ers instead of stuffed automotons.

The Trade of Germany.

The growth OF GermanyS commerce
is shown by the fact that her ex-
ports for 1910 were valued at s1,7S0,-
OO0, 900, an increase of 5000, $50, 900 over
1903; while her imports reached a
value last year of S2.127, 900, 900, show
ing a gain of nearly S97 900, 600 over
1903. During the decade from 1900 a
gain of fifty five per cent was made in
imports, while exports gained sixty
two per cent, exclusive of gold and
silver. Up to 1908, the United States
was the country from which Germany
drew its heaviest iports, but in 1909
Russia assumed the first place. I'm
ports from the United States last year
amounted to 1892, 100000, which COM
pares with $500, 100000 for 1909. I'm
ports from Russia rose to $3.50, 900, 900
or some S5,300,00 more than in 1908.
Exports to the United States in 1910
totalled $50. 100000 in value as against
$144. 100000.
Thus the balance against Germany
in its trade with the United States
dropped from $156,300,00 in 1903 to
Sal 200. 600 in 1910. Germany also in
creased her exports last year to France
by s21. 000, 900, due to the failure of the
French grain crop and to the Argen-
tine by s15,400, 900. Also by s12. goo, 900

MADEMO|SE[[E:
LANTE[ME. DEAD
TRAGIC END OF THE POPULAR
ACTRESS Is DEPLoREp, BUT
THERE is NO MYSTERY SUR
ROUNDING HER DEATH.
BY Associated Press.

Paris, Aug. 19.-The death of few
actresses have caused such a profound
expression of regret and sadness as
the tragic end OF Mademoiselle Lam
telne, who in private life was Madame
Edwards, the wife or the man who
founded the "Matin." Lantelme might
be said to have been the great favorite
of the Parisien theatre goer.
She was young, talented and beau
tiful, with a personal mannerism and
magnetism Of speech and acting that
not only caused admiration, but
evoked something Of a personal liking
on the part of the thousands who went
steadily to see her play. She was per-
haps best known for her work in the
celebrated Boulevard piece, lie Bots
Sacre." Her last appearance was in a
sketch in a music hall on the Champs
Sysees. where one of the other promi-
nent features was a chatty burlesque
on the visit to Paris of the American
sailors. Some newspapers have thought
to see a mystery in the death of Lam
feline, but it seems established that
she accidentally fell into the Rhine
from a window of a houseboat to
which she hand gone for air during a
fainting spell.
Libreville. the seaport which it was
understood Germany wished France to
cede to her, has many glorious memo
ries. Towards the end of the last CEN
fury French warship cruising in those
water for. the suppression of slavery,
captured vessel loaded with blacks
who were at once liberated. They
founded the town, and out of gratitude
for their deliverance, called it Libre-
vile. 1t has always been the capital
of Gaboon and, until quite recently,
was also the capital of the French
Congo, before Brazzaville sprung UP
and developed so rapidly.
The roadstead is magnificent; 1t Is
one of the finest of all Western Afica.
The town lies hidden in the rank veg
citation of a tropical forest: here and
there a few white dots peep from
among the LEAKAGE.
Over the whole region lies the mem
DRY of Savorgnan de Brazza, the ex-
plorer. The story of bow he first saw
the great Congo River is one of the
most exciting in the annals Of African
discovery.
Leaving the coast with the purpose
of finding a way to the basin of the
Congo, he and his followers was met
by an envoy of the local king who as
sured him that the river was quite
near De Brazza courageously followed
him. but trusting to his account of the
distance, omitted to take a supply of
water.
They marched all day over an arid
plateau without seeing any signs of a
river; the next day also passed with
out any results. The explorer began
to have doubts; he asked himself IL
the native guide had not betrayed
them and If they were not doomed to
a horrible death in the wilderness.
The man, however, insisted still that
the river was quite near, and the little
party stumbled on in mute despair.
Night fell. and while De Brazza be-
came more and more desperate he
saw Suddenly at his feet vast sheet
of water glimmering in the dusk.

Considerable interest has been arous-
ed lately in the community exhibits

this fact, the management has decid-
ed to offer a special premium of $25 in

charge Of this department of the fair,
was in town yesterday and said that
he was agreeably surprised in the in
terest which is being manifested in
this department of the approaching
session of the fair. He also said that
he believed that the offering of this
additional prize would add to the in
terest IN the fair.
During the day yesterday letters
were mailed to about thirty Ave papers
in the fair district, calling their at
tention to the county exhibit and the
community exhibits in connection with
this years fair and calling especial
attention TO the community exhibits.
The papers, have, so far, showed a
great deal OF interest In the fair and il
they can be induced to boost this spec
ial feature, 1t will mean a great deal to
the management
