WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New York, oct. 4.-Prices have de-
cllned under the influence Of moro
favorable weat big receipts. large
ginning in Teas and a condition Of
tne crop very close to that of last
year which produced the largest yield
on record. This has led to very large
selling from all quarters. Frost has
not done any particular damage. Spot
interests at times have been heavy sell
ers. So has Wall street as well as
southern and western and Waldorf
Astoria
There is a widespread conviction
that this seasons crop is going to be
SO large that despite the improvement
IN the trade at home and broad there
will be a plethora of supplies and a
corresponding decline in prices. The
spot markets have not shown much
life. Big trade interests have been
looking for lower prices and have
acted accordingly
While some are claiming that Texas
might raise 1850. 900 bales to 4.5OO.-
OO0 bales. bulls insist that the crou
there will not exceed, if it reaches 4
100000 bales. Attention is also call
ed to the fact that spot interests have
latterly been less bearish. The bulls
maintain that the short interest ha!
reached an unwieldy size and croI
scare such as may occur a any time
might easily produce a bear stamped,
and a sharp advance in prices.

SCHOOLS SHOULD
Be ATTRACTIVE
MRS. STEVENS TELLS OF AD-
DRESS BY N. c. MACDONALD,
AND THEN SHOWS HOW THE
ATTENDANCE CAN BE IN
CREASED IN SCHOOLS.

Velva, N. D., Aug. 3.-To The
Forum: N. C. Macdonald. state in
spector of rural and consolidated
schools, addressed the summer school
and institute, both here in session
present, and we all enjoyed his pre-
sentation Of plans for standardizing
our rural schools, the great broad base
Of our educational system. q
Mr.. Macdonald exhibited pictures Of
a rural school that has reached the
goal and also a rural consolidated that
has done so. Both are in McHenry
country. The rural ts the Willow
Creek school. The consolidated rural
is in the Gulley township, near Deer
ing. OF course the McHenry county
students %applauded to the echo.
He also said that a postcard adj
dressed to the state superintendent's
office in Bismarck would procure a
copy Of the plans in pamphlet form.
So, friend Forum, tell every rural
school director who reads this to send
for a copy and learn how to put his
school in line. The state grant-in-aid
will pay any extra expense, and the
resulting gain to the scholars will be
great.
Let us wake up to better attendance
u pea SClA Ia AK VI L1IS
state is all that attend now. Even in
the towns the percentage is only Is.
Think Of 1t!
Yet 1 have, over and over again,
seen 81 per cent and over, attained
by a live teacher, who took pains to
call on the parents and get acquainted,
and then continued her efforts to make
the school attractive daily, hourly
and early. Well worth while.
Note, l say her" but the few men
generally show a solid front Of worth
and grit, too.
Fellow workers, get a nine-month
term, good ventilation n a jacketed
stove (you can make a jacket for the
stove there now, put a good diction-
airy there "a catalogue house one won't
dol; a good set of maps, a good coat
OF paint on the schooIhouse outside
and in; a good play ground, a good
supply of water and drinking cups,
and a library. Ten dollars will make
a good beginning, and the county SUI
perintendent will give you a good cat
alogue.
Fence our school yard. 1t will
make the best paying pasture in the
township.
A good boarding place for the teach
er, even II o provide it upstairs. as
Rolette county is doing, and let your
schoolhouse be a social center that
draws everybody for pleasant hours.
