a NEW KIND OF MAP.

One of the chief difficulties The
school-boy ard schoolgirl has to meet

something unreal about the country

mountains with rich deposits of geld or

teachers.
But the Ole, unreal method of teach
ing geography and other things is pass
ing. Efforts are made to teach in a
more realistic and interesting way. An
example of this is the new kind of map
which the students in the fifth grade
at Benton school have been studying.
Those who read about this map knew
that II is 4 immature ltalN III tne SchOOi
yard and that it even contained live

One can easily See that studying

beneficial results than would the old

JOURNALISTIC IDEALS.

To large degree the destiny OF the
world is in the hands of the makers
of newspapers and magazines. No
great reform can he accomplished
without the existence of an approving
public opinion; and the Journalist
creates puDhc opinion.
Upon these premises it can be seen
that the responsibilities of a journalist
are as great or greater than those of
the members of any other profession.
His life is Gevoted to an ideal. which
is not uncommon among men. but the
ideal i. dailr subjected to the appro-
baton or condemnation of thousands
of readers. His ideal should be 10 help
his fellOwmon. and any betrayal Of
this ideal is treason.
II cannot be denied that finances
are an important factor in modern
journalism. The costs, originally
large. have Increased with rapidity.
But the paper that sells its soul for
dOllars is 4 traitor 10 the ideals of
journalism and TO the people its posi-
tion demands that il serve.
CncomprOmising determinatio ion to
do right: thr serving of its trust with
all OF thc powers at It's command;
ana tho execution of every detail with
the intention OF serving humanity, is
the ideal Of ideal journalism.

OBEDIENCE AND DISCIPLINE.
