Face and Eyes Powde, Burned.

Raymond. aged IA, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J J Mauger, was, so far as
learned, the only Mineral Pointer who
suffered through patriotic hilarity on
the 4th In the early part of the fore
noon Raymond and some other lads
were trying to get all the roar and
bang they could out Of baby cannon.
Unfortunately the cannon proved TO be
too light TO remain steady when eX-
ploding, and in consequence Raymond
CHANGED to get discharge Of burning
powed blowned into face. About four
grains of powder have been picked out
of each eye and several from forehead
and face While bad enough there is
some luck associated with the accident.
He might have lost his eyesight As it
is his suffering is ample, but he is doing
we'll and likely to recover without seri-
our effects or scars

The School Ahead of the Graduate.

A steady stream of graduates is
pouring out into the world from COM
mencement platforms They ought to
change the face of the world to some ex-
tent, when one considers their numbers,
their ideals and their enthusiasms. But
for some reason or other they don't. The
world receives them, swallows them,
and jogs on the same.
Probably one reason they make no
more impression than they do, is be-
cause they have all learned the same
things, not only the graduates for this
year, but all the graduates for many
wears. They have learned Greek roots
and various facts about triangles and
other information of this character.
These facts make very little impression
upon the world, for it hasn't much use
for them. SO life has to take them in
hand and teach them some of its les
sons. In the school of life, which the
graduates now enters, they learn that
which is of the most use to them and
the world
The things which the school of life
teaches TO be Of value, the graduates
have heard little Of in the school they
just left They are old-fashioned,
time-worn things, and if the graduate
did hear of them, they probably gave
scant heed, the other things on the
roster seemed so much more important
But life hasn't much to say about
Greek verbs and theories about tri-
angles; il asks. as it always has asked,
initiative. dependability, stick-to-it-
uye-ness. thoroughness, and other such
classics
The graduate who can translate the
spirit of The times into speech or ac-
zion: who doesn't do what the century
behind her mas done, but what the cen
.urv ahead of her needs, is the one who
win take the honors in life's school, |

Rural Schools Preferred to City Schools


Teachers who are given to seeing
visions" have been known to predict
that the time might come when city
children would be educated in country
schools. This prediction seems to be
fulfilled in part in Page county, Iowa,
where city boys have been boarding in
the country to get the education that
the rural schools give, but which the
city schools do not give. In this coun-
ty twelve rural school teachers this
year declined positions in cities, to con-
tinue teaching one-room schools. The
secret of this reversal of the usual but
deplorable attitude toward rural schools
lies in the emphasis given to the rela-
tionship between what is taught and
the child environment, in other words,
to the practical in education. In every
Page county rural school, for example,
there is Babcock milk tester and the
children are taught to use it. Such is
the fame given these one-room schools
by the practical bent given to educa-
ton, that last year state superintend-
ents of thirteen southern states spent
two days visiting them and inspecting
their work and methods.

school of life and if it is not learned
before entering, it will have to be TAX
en- after entrance. 1t is more essential
to success than knowledge of botany,
though botany is not to be derided.
So also is stick to-it-tive-ness. 1t
takes graduates sometimes long while
to learn in the school of life that they
never will get anywhere unless they
know where they are going and stick
to the road.
Dependability is another course not
always given in the school the gradu-
ate has attended, but which the school
of life absolutely insists upon, if honors
are to be won.
The graduates have quite as much to
learn. now that school days are over,
as they have GRAINED during the past
four years and more. Only, they are
not aware of it, 1t takes them long
while to discover that they have en-
tered the greatest school or all now,
and one that will try their mettle to
the utmost They are no longer sitting
in secluded class rooms. filling their
heads with the lore of books, and get
ting an education They are in the
school of life. learning its lessons at
first hand and building character. And
it is in this school that the graduate is
really taught the things that make an
impression upon the world for its bet
terment. Contributed.

donment for one year without habitual
drunkenness for a period of one year,
and gross neglect of duty. Where an
absolute divorce is granted the court
may prohibit the remarriage of either
party.
A novel feature of the bill is that
notice of each divorce case must be
served on the county attorney and he
must appear on behalf of the state and
oppose the divorce where it is not
fully warranted by the facts.
Where both parties appear to be
equally wrong the court may refuse a
divorce but make provision for the
care and custody of the children.
Even an absolute divorce is not to
become effective for one year so far
as remarrying is concerned, and in
case an appeal is taken remarriage is
prohibited for six months after the
case is finally determined by the ap.
pellate court. Violation of these pro-
visions constitutes bigamy.
