DEMOCRATS MEET
Hold Farwell County Convention
Endorse Bryan.

The Democrats held what will
probably be the last county convention
at the council room in the armory on
Wednesday afternoon. Delegates were
elected to the state convention to be
held at Duluth and resolutions were
adopted endorsing W. j. Bryan for
the presidency.
T. H. Mcguire called the meeting
to order and was elected chairman
and ]. B. Ormond secretary. The
chairman announced that as this would
probably be the last county conven-
tion which would be held on account
of the expected passage of primary
law, the gathering would be turned
into a mass convention. He gave
rousing Democratic speech and said
that the Republicans had stolen all
the Democratic principles, but he be-
lieved the Democrats should stand firm
for credit for the reforms now so pop
ular.
Joseph Sauter was called on and
spoke of the responsibility of choos-
ing a president, and thought now that
the party should stand by and nomin-
ate the man who had first advocated
these reforms-Mr. Bryan.
The resolutions were then called for
and were presented by Mr.. Ormonud
who made an eloquent speech for Mr..
Bryan. The resolutions were unanim-
ously adopted and, were as follows =
Your Committee on Resolutions beg
leaves to report as follows:
First: In favor of the enactment
of a Law creating and establishing

Second: A graduated state income

Art Of Listening,

There is some ground for the com.
plant that in the matter Of listening
our modern manners are bad. The
children who were brought up to be-
lieve that they must listen to wisdom
Of mamma and papa without interrup-
ton or criticism, we're in a fair way
to become pleasanter company than a
generation of people who want always
to hear themselves talk. The art of
listening is not now understood. It
does not consist In suffering bores
gladly; in sitting like cistern for
the dull drip Of desultory declama.
ton 1t involves some capacity for
directing and managing the stream
OF talk. Almost everyone has some
subject or other on which they can
say things worth hearing. No doubt
1t Is generally shop" But II you have
no capacity for being interested in
other peoples shop. you had better re-
tire to a hermitage.

What Do Students Know?

Another professor joins the ranks OF
the critics of college students with the
statement that he has found many
students who do not know that France
is republic or think that Portugal
is q city, who have no knowledge Of
the chief industries of great country
or are ignorant of the difference be-
tween latitude and longitude. Recent
ly Harvard professor complained
that not a student in a class of 100
knew anything about Aristotle; other
instructors have lamented the ignor-
ance of the Bible and English litera-
ture. Poor college student-what
does he know? Yet somehow he is
admitted to the college and eventually
is graduated from it. The number of
college students has greatly increased
in the last few years-has the quality
deteriorated with numbers? There are
still scholars, doubtless, but what Is
the average student? II such criti-
cisms continue, indignant graduates
Of mature years may demand an inves-

BELIEVES OLD SYSTEM BEST
Writer Deplores the Modern Method Of
Teaching Children Science Of
Spelling.

In the memory of some Of US who
are not grandmothers, spelling was
taught by graduated system begin
ming with the phonetic value of the
letters. The spelling books-we rec.
ognize 1t nowhere designed to make
learning easy. Long lists Of words OF
similar sound but with different initial
letters were given. and possibly with
one or two exceptions or variations
sandwiched in. The ear and the mind,
from frequent repetition. grew accus.
toned to a certain combination, aud,
once learned, It was never forgotten.
Today take up the spelling book

and attempt to hear him his lesson
What do 1 see? A list of Things to
Use on the Table" He spells bread"
salt" and plates" correctly, and
sticks at knives" He goes back,
studies 1t again and again sticks to
knives" Why should knives be
spelled as 1t is? He cannot understand
The fact that 1t is something to use
on the table does not help him. I turn
to the preface of the book to see i'll
can find what Rossetti would call "the
fundamental brain work" underlying
the system, and learn that spelling.
forsooth should be taught "by an as
sociation Of ideas!" Now, spelling is
not an association of ideas. 1t is an
association of sounds. If you teach it
by association Of the idea of sound,
well and good. Why should the child
be robbed of the help which associa-
tion of sounds would give him? Why
should each work be made an excep-
tion and have to be learned by dis
tinct mental process? Why are the
theories of Pestolozzi and Froebel thus
clumsily misapplied?
The trainers of the old-fashioned
memory systems depended on the as
sociation of ideas, and justly SO, for
they taught lists of unrelated words.
They would have been the last to de-
pend oh it for the teaching of Eng
lish spelling. They would have been
the first to claim the help of the linked
chain Of similar sounds

were educated before there was an
effort to make learning picturesque
