ESSENTIALS OF EDUCATION

Charles w, Elliot in Educational Re
form: These six 1 believe to be es-
sential constituents of education in the
highest sense: We must learn to see
straight and clear; to compare and
infer; to make an accurate record; to
remember; to express our thoughts
with precision; and to hold fast lofty
ideals. The processes I have described
as separate often take place in the
mind so rapidly hat they or some of
them seem to US simultaneous. Thus,
intelligent conversation involves OBJ
servation, comparison, record, memory
and expression, all in a fash. But If
these be constituents of education, is
not education a continuous process OF
one nature from beginning to end? Are
not these six constituents to be stimuli
%taneously and continuously developed,
from earliest childhood to maturity ?
The child of 5 years should begin to
know what love and duty mean; and
the mature man of 25 should be train
ing his powers of observing, compar
ing, recording and expressing. The
aims and the fundamental methods at
all stages of education should, there
fore, be essentially the same; because
the essential constituents of education
are the same at all stages. The gram
mar school pupil is trying to do the
same kinds of things which the high
school pupil is trying to do, though of
course with less developed powers,
The high school pupil has the same
intellectual needs which the university
student feels. The development of a
mind may be compared with the de-
yelopment of a plant; it proceeds sim :
~ultaneously and continuously through
all it's parts, without break or convul-
sion. 1t at any stage there seems to
be a sudden leafing or blooming, the
~suddenness is only apparent. Leaf and
bloom had long been prepared-both
were infolded in last years bud. From
first and last it is the teachers most
important function to make the pupil
think accurately and express his
thought with precision and force; and
in this respect the function of the
primary school teacher is not differ
ent in essence from that of the teacher
of law. medicine, theology or engineer

WAYS OF i Law.

A Virginia man murdered his wife
in 1905. He had a life insurance pol
icy for $4,000. His orphaned chill
dren tried to collect this after the state
had killed him by way Of squaring
things for his killing his wife. The
supreme court Of the United Stat $
held that this mans execution for
murder cancelled his insurance policy
and that his orphans can collect
nothing. Probably the law is perfect
ly sound. 1t must be or the court
wouldn't have held that way. But to
the legally unlearned it would seem
that those orphans had been punished
enough by the loss of both parents
without depriving them of their heri-
tage as we'll.

The project Of securing an electric
power supply for the city of Paris
from the Rhone river is one which
has been much. discussed, and it seems
more likely than ever that 1t will be
carried out. says the Scientific Ameri-
can The distance is considerable over
800 miles. and the latest plans can for
100000 horsepower to be taken from
the Rhone, near the Swiss frontier. Al
bsrrage will be erected upon the Rhene
and the electric plant will lie just be-
low it, receiving the water from a
canal 10 feet wide and twenty five
feet deep. A set Of sixteen penstocks
will lead into the extensive turbine
house Of 1000 foot length. and here will
be ranged the sixteen turbine-alterna-
tor units Of 10000 horsepower size.
The head OF water is 230 feet and the
delivery 10000 cubic feet per second.
Abandoning the high-voltage direct
current which was formerly mentioned
the three-phase alternating current is
considered to be more in line with
modern practice, using $780, 900 or even
10000 volts on the power lines.

FARGO MIGHT TRY 1T.

New York is about to revive the
court of honor" For years business
disputes were settled without recourse
to the courts at an average cost of
between $50 and SOFAS against ex-
lenses LAT frequently run into the
thousands in courts of the law of the
land. The court has no power to en-
force its judgments-except public
claim their relief. Suppose the de-
opinion. This, as a matter of fact, is
often more powerful than the sheriff.
Suppose in every city such courts
OF honor" could relieve the redtape-
entangled courts of a large part Of the
great mass of civil litigation. Would
not the litigants and the public ac-
claim their relief2 Suppose the de-
crees f this court were recognized by
the banks, the credit agencies n the
principal business houses-so that a
man would risk his credit and his rep
utation as ar honorable business man
If he were to violate their findings.
Then suppose it were the custom to
give general publicity to the fact when
a man seed TO abide by such a man
ner Of adjudication-and broke faith.
No sheriff would be needed to en-
force it's DEGREES. No power of pun
ishing for contempt of court would be
half as formidable.
Fargo might profit by such a court.

salmon EQUALS Gold production.

Washington Star: "AIaska's repu-
tation has rested largely upon its pro-
duction of gold. but dc you know that
last year the territory produced in
canned salmon almost it's equal in
value?" said F. G. Barron, a wealthy
Gamer Of Juneau, at a local hotel. "Of
course, II was an unusual year. The
catch of salmon all along the coast
as far as the Boring sea was the great
est that has been known in several
years and a better price was obtained.
There is no accounting for the un-
usual run of salmon. This year it may
not be half of that it was last. The
value of the salmon catch in 1911 was
almost double that of 1910. 1t amount
ed to nearly $15,0 0 900 and the gold
production was approximately ST.
900, 900. In 1910 salmon sold for go
cents a dozen cans, or $40 a case. For
last years catch the Gamers realized
$1.10 a dozen or $40 a case. The
total output was more than 5000, 600
cases.
Salmon is a peculiar kind of fish.
The females. weighing perhaps twenty
pounds, after they deposit their eggs,
numbering close to $500, die, and 1t is
up to the fishermen to catch them be-
fore they go into their death waters.

my mind it will never be anything but

Gently conducted a straw ballot in the
sister state. Something more than
10000 votes were received. Roose-
welt as first. LaFollette considerably
behind, and Taft a bad third. In
North Dakota many stalwarts and at
least an equal number of prominent
progressives have declared for Roose-
welt. The LaFollette newspapers ac-
cuse the stalwarts Of being response

Stubs of Kansas, Governor johnson
Of California, Ex-Governor Hadley of
Missouri, Pinchot, Garfield, and rabid

Cormick's Chicago Tribune-are OUT
spoken for Roosevelt, is something
not understandable. The fact is that
republicans Of all shades do not wish
to see the free-trade (tariff for r~evenue)
democracy in charge of the law-mak-
Ing and executive powers Of the ma
ton. They certainly disagree as to
the desirable degree of protection to
American industries, but all are pro-
tectionists. Every reading republican
knows that, from present appearances,
Roosevelt is the one republican most
likely to lead the republican party to
victory. The Roosevelt ~progressives
know that, with the east, the south
and a large proportion of the middle
state republicans against LaFoIlette
there is little chance for him to secure
convention. The stalwarts who are
not opposed to Taft on account Of his
attempt to take the tariff from Can
adam farm products, and who would
be for him did they consider him a
strong candidate as against the dem
ocratic nominee, know that. if nomi-
mated, he would not poll the vote that
would be thrown to Roosevelt were he
the nominee. And, again, on what
meat doth these insurgent North Da-
kota Caesars feed that they have
grown so great as to accuse their stall
wart brethren Of bad faith in their
support of Roosevelt? What reason
Is there that they should assume and
charge that the Roosevelt stalwarts
in this state are not really for Roose-
welt, but seek to secure Roosevelt
delegates only to throw them to Taft
in the convention? Have the stall
warts Of this agricultural state more
reason to kiss the hand that smote
them in the reciprocity matter than
the holier- than -thous who call them
selves reformers and who have beer
chiefly noted so far for putting crook
ed men in state offices? Would the
stalwart North Dakota farmer have
been less injured by reciprocity than
his progressive neighbor on the next
farm? Were the stalwart leaders OF
this state less pronounced than the
progressive leaders against the open
ing of North Dakota markets to the
Canadians, when the matter was ur
for discussion? Were not McCumbel
and Hanna as outspoken against rec
iprocity as Gronna and Helgesen? Il
