HIGH o

The arrival of the graduation period
In the schools has renewed the dis
cussion as to the comparatively small
percentage of graded school graduates
who enter the high. The percentage is
SO small that the question is often
Rsked whether the high schools are
HlIins a proper place ins educational
work.
The average high school is the con
meeting link between the grades and
the universities. Its curriculum is
shaped almost exclusively to that end.
The course for the tour years is
planned to fit the graduates for en-
trance to the leading universities of
the country.
Is this the purpose for which the
taxpayers money should be spent?
In some cities the cost Of the high
schools is almost as much as that of
eli the other schools. In most, the rel
stive expense Of the highs is large as
compared to the total.
AS the high school courses are shap-
ed largely for the purpose of equipping
students for entering universities--it
has been suggested that they be aban-
doned and that the preparatory work
be done at academies-or other places
Of private instruction, at the personal
expense of the student. This is met
with the objection that many of the
poorer students, who eventually gradu-
ate at colleges, would be unable to do
30, If forced to pay for their prepara-
tory work,
The demand for vocational training
In the high schools is increasing-and
1t is insistent. There are many faith
ers and mothers who say their sons
and daughters will not be able to go
through the universities-but they
should have some training, after grad
uation from the grades, that would
equip them for earning their own liv-
ing.
There is justice in this demand and
the sooner the supporters of the high
school meet the condition the better it
will be. 1t is claimed the high schools
are the peoples colleges" If this be
true-it should be so in the fullest
sense. It should make it possible for
the boys and girls to earn their living
with their hands as well as with their
brains. ...
The high school work is necessary
but 1t should no be exclusive. There
1aust not be n aristocracy in the
public school work. Qualify the boys
and girls for entrance to the univer-
sities-but also provide a method of
training those who do not wish or can
not afford university courses--so they
can earn a livelihood.

The EYE Is The
GREAT EDUCATOR
FIRST KNOWLEDGE COMES
THROUGH THE EYE AND WE
PREFER SEEING THINGS TO
READING ABOUT THEM-EYE.
TEACHING BIBLE,

Children should not be required to
learn through the ears at an age when
they ought to be learning only through
the eye.
The eyes are the greatest means
Of education. No animal except man
has any other education except that
which is gained through the eyes.
The Forum e. Republican is present
ing to its readers an ~eye-teaching
Bible which contains more than 600
pictures applying directly to the verses
which they accompany.
Heretofore the word Illustrated" as
applied to a Bible, meant merely a
few allegorical pictures Of Biblical
events taken from any source and
conveniently" placed in any part Of
the book, merely as establishment in
serts, but not directly alongside and
explanatory Of the verse intended to
typify or make plain, but our publish
ers, at an outlay Of $780, 600, prepared
accurate illustrations descriptive Of the
reading matter which they accompany,
and placed directly next to the scene
described-the only place it can be
looked for or found quickly, the only
place the illustration is a help to you
making this the only really illustrated
Bible.
In addition to these ~eye-teaching
text pictures there are also numerous
full page color plates from the world
famed Tissot collection and these are
properly placed in the chapter or sec
ton which they so magnlficently IL
~lustrate, showing also the particular
verse portrayed.
You will enjoy this Bible, whether
you belong to church or not, for it's
"e~ye-teaching' pictures make 1t of rare
educational value to all. both old and
young.
Call at this office and examine these
Bibles. Compare them with any you
have ever seen before. But be sure
to have six certificates with you, for
you will want one of these illustrated
Bibles. Both Protestant and Catholic
to select from.

Daddy's Bedtime
The Story Of
The Little Pink
MayRowes

%A HERE was a cluster Of pink flowers in a vase and daddy bent bis head
to snn the fragrance OF the charming blossoms
I'VE found thems" explained Jack and Evelyn "They grow In the
woods" @Fa
YES" said daddy; II know them very well. The little mayhOwer, or arbu.
is rs a great havorte OF mine
"Not only is the maynower sweet smelling, but it is sweet tasting. as any
little bunblebee al tell you. On the hihides or the borders of rocky woods.
where the hower generally grows, you will in the spring time hd swarms OF
the bumbhebees hanging around the flowers, into which they dive for a drink OF
their delicious nectar.
II must tell you how the maynower got its name
II have told you Of the brave white people who first came to live in this
country nearly 400 years ago. They reached the land in the fall and In Massa-
chusets, where they had come to stay, that winter was a very cold ona They
suffered much because the food was scarce and the clothes which they had
were not warme enough Their English homes had been warm and comfortable
the cracks in which the chill winds often whsted
could see the Indians watching them from behind the trees in the great un-
had left For the women and children. who had to stay much indoors, 1t was
very hard indeed.
But BY and by spring came, and then the settlers werea able to be out once
more And great was their delight when the leaves came out on the trees,
when the wild bushes in the forest clothed themselves in green and the grass
everywhere became fresh and bright Here and there in the woods flowers
began to appear and first of all among them the little pink flower which you
see here.
"rhe little children gathered them and carried them home to show to their
delighted parents
And the women dug them up and tried to plant them around the cabins
20 hegn little gardens, gardens that they meant to make as much as they could
like the loved gardens which they had left across the ocean
The flowers grew all about the pine groves Of old Plymouth. where the
people had settled. and because the flowers had come ITO them In May and be-
cause the name OF the good ship that had brought them to America had been
called the Mayncw@ they so named the flower"

NO CHEAP WHEAT.

The Toledo Blade had the following
editorial on the cost of wheat:
Cheap wheat went with cheap land,
cheap labor, cheap farming materials,
low taxes and a lower standard Of liv-
ting.
Land now is high and is hardly like
Iy e to be low again. Farm labor
is relatively scarce and commands a
wage two, and in places, three times
as much as used to be paid. Every
rear American farmers have had to
make new OUTLAWS for the improvement
of their soils and the protection. of
their crops. Taxes, like airships, seem
to have been devised for the purpose
OF going up. The standard of living
climbs steadily as is bet
tered, education is spread and men
demand a fairer distribution Of the
worlds blessings.
The census report shows a great de-
crease in the acreage under wheat.
This might have been expected long
ago by anyone observant of the
changes taking place in this country,
1t is a crop for the farmer whose ex-
penses are low, whose acreage is large
and represents but small outlay. II
cannot provide the returns necessary
for keeping the farmer of this section
Of the country in a decent living. And
as expenses rise in the west and 9TH
er crops offer a higher rate of interest
on capital and energies invested, wheat
is abandoned. It may be even sooner
than James J. Hill predicted thai
Uncle Sam must look beyond his bor-
ders for his bread.

THE BISHOP IS BUSY
Head of the Catholic Church Confirmed
Two Glasses Yesterday and
One Today.

Beginning with yesterday Rt. Rev.
Bishop James O'Reilly will have an
exceedingly busy time of 1t this week.
Sunday morning he was at Park
River where he confirmed a large class
and in the afternoon he went to Osna-
brook, where another class was con-
flrmed for the church there.
The two classes were received in
the presence of a large number of
people. Yesterday evening the bishop
was driven to st. Thomas, where last
night he was the guest of Rev. Father
Sevigny, Of that parish, and this morn
ing he went to Bathgate where the rite
of confirmation was performed on a
class.
Tomorrow the bishop will go to st.
Thomas again where another large
class awaits him. The bishop expects
to visit every parish and mission in
his diocese during the next few
months. He will visit other psrishes
this week.

Tho seientista.

Professor Amariah Tibbs was all I'M
known to fame
Until n day he set about to make
himself a name.
He got out his old telescope and
aimed it at the stars
And much to his surprise he found a
brand new wart on Mars.
No one had seen the thing before, it
was a famous find;
The whole world paid its tribute to
his scientific mind.
Professor Tibbs' discovery created
such a stir.
A lecture bureau signed him at one
hundred dollars per.
Prof. James Terwillinger long occu-
pied a chair;
The one-horse college salary gave him
no cash to spare.
The future seemed quite hopeless to
the scientist until
One day he found some microbes on
an old one dollar bill.
OF course the papers get the news
and spread it far and wide,
And much learned comment editorial,

He trained a troupe OF these microbes
Ind put them on the stage,
And now in high-priced vaudeville he
is the current rage.
Prof. Alexander Butts knew not the
~spotlight's glare.
It sometimes struck the faculty, but
not his humble chair.
One day he wrote a treatise on
What Modern Dramas Mean.
A circus was the only show that he
had ever seen.
The modern drama stuff went
great and he was in demand.
He spoke before the woman's clubs
throughout the entire land.
He's quoted as authority and wor-
shipped from afar,
And when he travels now It's in a
handsome private car.
