Information Concerning Under
taking and Embalming Which
Every Person Ought to Know

There are perhaps great many
people throughout the county who
do not know that there is regular
ly-established undertaking parlor in
Linton, in charge of licensed un-
dertaker and embalmer. There are
many who know nothing whatever
about the charges for undertaking
work or the requirements for ship
ping.
The Linton undertakers have been
established six years. They call at
the home or hospital to take charge
OF cases, removing to their undertak-
ing rooms free of charge. BY the
aid of science, embalming has be-
come comparatively simple matter.
In this way remains may be kept un-
til distant relatives arrive or for 9TH
er reasons. Embalming is not a
butchering process, as many suppose.
There are only two small missions
required, which in no way disfgure
or mutilate the body. The price for
this work is not as great as many
people suppose, ordinary cases rang
ing from $500 to $4,000, with an
extra charge of about $1,000 in cases
of contagious diseases. Embalming
assures thorough disinfecting and
sanitary conditions, and will allow
shipping to any part of the United
States or Canada. Arrangements
are made for transferring at Aber-
deem. where shipments to points
south and east are made. The best

Wednesday. Feb. l4th, good ST.
Valentines Day. the last Territory
of the United States was admitted
into the Union. On that day Arizona
was introduced as the forty. eighth
state. Outside of Alaska and the
island possessions, this country has
no area left that is not under state
government. And how quiet and
peaceful have state admissions been
during the present generation. COM
pared with ante-bellum admissions.
In 1.-The good old days before a
state was admitted there was near
riot in both houses of congress as to
whether the Territory should come in
under slave or free constitutions;
and then, after the repeal Of the Mis-.
souri, Compromise and the adoption
of Douglas squatter sovereignty
plan, the fight was transferred to
the Territory seeking admission.
Elderly people who are disposed olet
their thoughts go back to the good
old days" should sound their mem
DRY and make comparison with
the events leading up to the admis-
sion of bleeding Kansas" and those
connected with admissions since the
war. Kansas-the last state admit
ted while slavery prevailed in the
land-was the scene for years of
riot and bloodshed; and the Terri
tory. having a presponderance Of
free-state men, was not admitted
until the senator's and representa-
tiyes from the seeding slave states
had withdrawn from congress and
gone home.

competition between people in the
same line of trade established rea-
sonable rates of profit. Those Of the
Garfield Pinchot school of political
economists claim that competition is
not needed in fact, that it would
be harmful. because it would dupli-
cate the means of production, thus
making an enormous unnecessary
expense and of course raising selling
prices of the products. To the wrl-
ter the latter theory seems the more
reasonable. There is no disputlng
the fact that, where certain article
can be made by one large plant. 1t
can be produced more cheaply than
it can be by two plants having du-
plicate machinery, two office forces
and two selling organizations. 1t
seems to US that the plan to have
trusts work under a federal Ii
cense, with supervision to a certain
extent by a non-partisan industrial
commission. will give the public
cheaper goods, while at the same
time allowing reaonable profit to
the manufacturer, than system OF
cut-throat competition and shoddy
output. A great manv thought
that the dissolution of the Standard
Oil Company would bring cheaper
petroleum products. But the con-
trary has been the case. as is shown
by a recent New York dispatch to
the metropolitan press:
"Oil prices have been going upsince

One of the largest delegations Of

months gathered at the wharf. The

selections that have served to charm

new EDUCATIONAL ERA TO
CONE BY STANDARDIZATION


Now that attention has been called
to the fact by s. A. Courts OF Detroit.
pedagogic circles are wondering why
no attempts have been made to stand
ardize the results of education. Al
though millions of dollars are expend-
cd annually In the United States
alone to educate boys and girls for
the work they are to do in the world.
the process even at the present day
is experimental and theoretical. and
there is undisputed complaint at the
impractical results obtained. In no
field of industrialism has so little at
tention been paid to the proportion
between outlay and production as in
education. II Is to the dawning un-
derstanding Of the latent possibilities
in all men and to the modern tend
ency toward statistical analysis of
all questions, that the present at.
tempt Of. Mr.. Courts to standardize
educational values is attributed. Mr..
Courts Is professor Of mathematics

short, six of them requiring but one
minute each, and the other two six
and IL minutes each, "a minutes In
all. From these comparative deduc-
tons are to be made, leading even
tually to a strengthening and balanc-
ing of the school courses.
After having tested. 10000 pupils
Mr.: Courts determined that third
grade pupil should copy so figures In
a minute while seventh grade pupil
should copy 10 figures in the same
time. The tests are looked upon as of
value because they show at once the
weakness and strength of each indi-
vidual pupil. They help the teacher
10 reach the individual pupil In place
of prescribing the same work for all
and are expected to reduce the teach
ing of arithmetic to a definite basis.
Pursued through the grades they de-
termine the amount and permanence
of the growth of the pupil, permit the
setting of standard degree OF merit
for. each grade, and make possible the
raising of the present efficiency.
The pedagogue finds the idea of a
standard in regard to fundamental
abilities fascinating one. Mr.. Cours
it's believes that weakness and H.
efficiency are due more to failure to
secure complete all-around develop
ment in the fundamental abilities Of
q subject, and standard growths in
each grade, than to any other one
cause. He says that the abilities of
individual children are greater fac
tors In determining relative rank in
school work than all the differences
In abilities of teachers, courses Of
study, or methods of work combined.
and that the grades in all schools
overlap to an extent well nigh in
credible
Standardization of product and
accurate determination of cost In time
snd effort are as important in educa-
tion as In business" says Mr.. Courts.
knowledge of the conditions is the
first step toward progress. From
every point of view measurement Is
likely to have an increasing value in
education and wherever this is at
tempted the comparative test win be
found to be one of its most effective
FORMS"
Teachers in England and Germany
are interested in the work and the
tests are to be given in those conn-
tries also New York City has taken
I'D the work and Boston has arranged
with Mr.. Courts to conduct series
or tests during the next school year.
