SCHOOLS OF THE FUTURE

President Flavel S. Luther believes hat schools should be in session more 1ours d day 4and rme ore @days a year. sfe gave his opinion upon these mat CTS te the Massachusetts Teachers Association, recently. in an address n which he said: Let's make children .ake school life more seriously than we have formerly. Let's teach more than 20 hours week. Let's have our schools going a larger part of he year. It's preposterious that we need so much vacation
 Many parents will accept President I.uther's suggestion. Interruptions to thes school course are frequent. The summer vacation is long. Children, many of them, do get out of the habit of discipline during the sum Gner months. They do ,return to their studies in an unwilling frame of mind
 But. perhaps, the time devoted to what the children do learn is long enough Perhaps it is too long. The

EDUCATING MINERS

To devise a course Of study that would be specially applicable to a mining community with a predomi- mating foreign population was the task assigned to E. E. Bach, employed as sociological superintendent'' by a collieries company in the Pennsyl- vania region, according to information received at the United States Burean n of Education Two mining camps, Ellsworth and Cokeburg, were put un- der his care, with instructions to make the school system in each locality a center of education and Americaniza- tion
 Children in the mining camps ordi- narily leave school between the ages of IA and Is, having acquired little that is of direct use to them in their life work. Under MT. Bach the en- tire course of study has been recast to adapt it as closely as possible to the conditions in the community. ..Elementary mining,'' First aid to the injured,' and business forms are introduced as early as the sixth grade,

The Harmony Views of Mclean and MT. Hill

psuedo statesmen, confronted with the high cost of living, and the enor- nous depreciation of wages-result- ing from the overcharges to which wage earners are submitted when they buy ecessities-insist upon writing about reduced wages due 10 depreciated currency"
 Statesmen of MT. Hills school are fond of talking about high cost of living due to cheap gold. Yet MT. Hill insists upon making cheap gold the basis of the currency scheme whatever it is. that he believes he has in mind.
 Permanent party organizations cannot be built upon personalities More flub dub! How does MT. Hill know that? Julius Caesar built a pretty permanent organization. So did Wendell Phillips. Lloyd Garrison and Abraham Lincoln Napoleon Bonaparte managed to construct an organization of some endurance. So did Thomas Jefferson.
 It may be said that in each and every case, whether Caesars, Lin coln's, Bonaparte's or Jefferson's. the distinguishing feature was that many persons of similar principles allied themselves, under the leadership of notable exempIars of those principles to form a party.
 Now MT. Hill is gunning for the Progressive party What he means is that the Progressive party is noth- ing but Roosevelt, and that a party of nothing but Roosevelt can't en- dure.
 But he isn't willing to say what he has to say in such a simple and un- derstandable way, but tries to formu- late it into something that will look like a general rule.
 Nevertheless parties always are built up around personalities, and they invariably consist of those per sons who hold in common certain principles which they desire to en- body in government through the per- sonalities selected for leadership
 As far as human intelligence can see the progressive party has come into being the same as any other party Of the past. Personal leader ship has played it's part, but common conviction in the rank and file plays a much greater part
 The degree of permanence in the Progressive party remains to be as certained by the acid test of time MT. Hill doesn't know. Nobody knows.
 
 There has been a system with pa tfonage for its base, and power for it's justification. This system has been operated for property and not for men. That system was the Re publican party with it's McLeans, it's Hills, and it's brood of the selfish blind leading the selfish blind. That system is 1noribund. Let us see what tomorrow shall bring forth.

Ire mendous popular indignation followed this iu-advised action, and the fat Queen soon saw her mistake She re- called the new constitution, and de- clared herself the fervent friend of democracy and progress but it was too late A committee of safety was formed and a provisional government organized, which, on Jan. 30, 1892 de- posed the Queen.

Her Majesty issued an indignant protest, declaring that she yielded ito the superior force of the United States and that she had faith that :'the government of the United States will, upon facts being present. ed to it, undo the acts Of it's represen- tatives. and reinstate me- It was charged by the Queen and her friends ed by agents of the. United States, but this was denied by President Benjamin Harrison in these words:
 The overthrow of the monarchy was not in any way prompted by this gov ernnent but had it's origin in what seems to have been reactionary and revolutionary policy on the part of Queen Liliuokalani. It is quite effete and the queens government so weak and inadequate as to be the prey of designing and interruptions per sons The restoration of Queen Li1iuo- kalani to her throne is undesirable if not impossible

HYDE'S CRIME

Charles H. Hyde, formerly city chamberlain of New York, is convict ed of bribery and subject to a maxi mum penalty of ten years, plus a fine of s5.00O.
 Hyde was custodian of the public monies of New York, and deposited the vast sums in his care with such banks as pleased him.
 Hyde made a deposit in the North- ern Bank, in return for which Joseph 6. Robin. the head of the institution. made a deposit of $13O,00O in the Carnegie Trust Company.
 At the time of the failure of the Carnegie Trust Company New York had large deposits in it. The North ..rn Bank also failed and Robin was imprisoned for mismanaging its af- fairs
 An element in this mismanage- nent was the loan to the totterins Carnegie Company, and in explana- tior-of this loan Robin said that he was-forced to do it by Hyde, who used 'the power and the pressure of his office to induce Robin to make the loan.
 Now the New York penal code for bids a public official from doing, or emitting to do, anything for a con- sideration.
 The jury held that Hyde offered an infringement to Robin, in promising to maintain a deposit of city money in Robins bank. The jury held that
 
 a consideration to wit, the loan which Robin made to the Carnegie Trust Company, to oblise Hyde.
 This verdict seems to this news paper to be of far reaching import ance7 as a precedent.
 The case has attracted far less at tention than the Rosenthal murder with it's trial of Becker, and his con viction and that of the four gunmen upon. a murder charge.
 Yet the Hyde case with its sconse- quences is vastly more important to society. Robbery by violence and the srosser forms of coI1usion is old, and relatively little practiced, and of com paratively trifling threat.
 But robbery by subtle influences, by the giving or withholding of fav- ors, lby the promise of prom notion or discharge. by direct exchange of financial favors is extraordinarily common and filled with threat to social well being.
 It is very difficult to detect primes like that of which Hyde is found guilty, it is even more difficult to punish them. There has been, in deed, general failure to either de- tect. or punish them, and such crime es have f1ourished nightly within re- cent years.
 The conviction of Hyde is a warn ing that this sort of social piracy must cease. It informs public ser vants of all degree that murder is not the only offense that may be reached by justice, and that the more refined sort of subornation of law can be reached by the law.
 Such a decision as that in the Hyde case should be especially welcome in Connecticut. wherein the lobby a Issytiy of men who make a business of what Hyde practiced incidentally, have not only an undue influence in the processes of government, but are promoted to high places in the ser vice of the state and in the parties within the state.
 From the standpoint of social Cleanliness the conviction of one Hyde outvalues the conviction of a thousand gunmen-

United States Senator George P. Mclean renews his pleadings for har- mony and union between Progressives and Republicans.
 Congressman Ebenezer J. Hill adds his views to the general subject, and says that overtures for a reunion are premature. MT. McLean's enthusiasm and MT. Hills lukewarn1ness toward the pro position for reunion are matters of psychology predicated upon the cir curnstance that MT. Hill has. already lost his office, while MT. Mclean hopes to keep his.
 Both gentlemen are alike in a fail ure to perceive-or to show that they perceive-the fundamental differences which created the Progressive move ment, and which are swiftly realign- ing political movements in America.
 MT. Mclean continues to dwell up- on the past glories of the Republican party, but has never a word to say about any glorious FUTURE for it.
 But MT. Hill continues to dwell in the mazes of tariff and currency and assumes that a new party of con servatives may be built up through an agreement on those hoary old is sues which nincompoop statesman ship has worked to death during 40 years.
 MT. McLeans plea for harmony Is understandable. It is the plea for patronage. United we get the jobs Divided, we get no jobs.
 MT. Hill. in seeking to reduce the same thought to a system built upon principle, merely delivers him self to a series of cryptic enuncia- tions. which mean a trifle less than nothing. Here are his dicta:
 First-To pay reduced wages in a depreciated currency would be a political crime.
 Second-Per1nanent party organiza- tions cannot be built on personalities. If it were possible, the names of Henry Clay and James G. Blaine would now be found in the roll Of presidents.
 Third-NatienaI party organizations cannot be made or maintained on the fuifillment or non-fulfllment of state functions or responsibilities, for the Constitution preScribeS the jurisdic- ton of each, and it cannot be chang ed except by the concurrence of both. The two great issues to which have referred will compel the nations thought for the next four years. I m ost earnestly hope that out of it " i'll ultimately come a union of purpose and of action which may result in the highest good to our beloved country. Meanwhile, minor questions will settle themselves.
 Nobody knows of any effort to pay reduced wages in depreciated cur rency, and there is now no issue that reduces to that terminoIogy. But there was, and is, decided objection to reduced wages caused by a high cost of living, and for his fail ure to deal with this reduction, and in part for bringing about this situa- ton, MT. Hill was retired to private life and MT. Mclean soon will be. But the mystery remains why

RESTING PERIOD FOR A cow
From Six to Eight Weeks Is consid-
cred About Right for Good Dairy
Animal, Says Hoard's. z

It is considered better for a COW and
her calf to give the cow a rest be-
tween her periods Of lactation, says
Hoard's Dairyman. From six to eight
weeks is considered about right for a
good dairy COW. It is not wise, how
ever, to force a persistent mixer dry.
Care must be taken at this Pc
Rod or there is danger of the udder
becoming caked and permanently in
jured.
With a COW that persists in giving
milk 10 months in the year it is
well to decrease her ration and give
her nothing but dry feed when she is
nine and a half months along in her
period Of lactation-that is, If she
has been bred to calve IL months
from the beginning of her period of
lactation. As a rule, it is not difficult
to dry a COW of if proper attention
is given at this period.

IMPORTANCE OF THE BARREL
Business Part Of Dairy Cow Should
Be Well Rounded and Lons-Legs
Should Curve Out.

The Darrell is the business part Of the
cow, hence it should be we'll rounded
and long. The ribs should be far
spart and we'll sprung. The back
should be long and slightly arching.
The long tail is simply an indication
of a long spinal column. The legs
should be curved out, in order to give
ample room for the udder between.
This should be square, we'll set behind
and extending we'll forward. The teats
should neither be too long nor too
short, and set square on the four quar-
tiers. The texture of the udder should
be like that of a soft glove, SO that
when it is MIXED out, it would col
lapse. The whole form should be
wedge-shaped. No one of these points
taken alone is a safe guide; taken
collectively they are safe to indicate
a good COW.

BALANCING THE o W RATION
Desirable to Furnish 40 Much Rounh
age az Possible Because Il 10
Cheapest Food.

In making up a ration for cows It is
desirable to feed as much roughage
as possible because it is usually the
farmers cheapest feed. However,
the capacity of the animal is limited,
and we must be ruled by common
sense.
1t is possible to balance a ration in
protein. carbohydrate and fat with
only coarse dry roughage which the
COW would not be able to consume in
large enough quantities to produce a
reasonable amount of milk. It is easy
to balance a ration of grain alone
which is also undesirable.
The ration should be balanced In
amount of roughage and grain as we'll
as In protein, carbohydrate and fat.
The amount of grain by weight should
rarely equal the amount of dry rough
age and should usually be less than
one-half. This does not apply where
such roughage as silage is fed, be-
cause silage contains more moisture
and weighs heavier than other rough
age.
