TELLS TEACHERS
ABOUT DRAWING
CAROL SAX TALKED TO COUNTY
NORMAL ON VALUE OF THIS
SUBJECT.
AID TO STUDENTS.
Told How the Students arc Given an
Appreciation Of Art by tho Prao-
tice Of Drawing in the
Schools.

In his treatment of the subject o1
drawing as study in the public
schools In order to assist in art ap-
probation, Carol Sax of Ottumwa pre-
sented a paper before the county nor
NAL last week that received hearty
appreciation by the assembled teach
ers. Mr.. Sax takes the stand that draw
ing should be taught in our schools
more fully or dropped entirely He
would have the study of drawing taught
during a period of the day when the
child or older student Is, fit to appreci-
ate the good of the study and give it
his or her best endeavors. Not SO much
for skill in drawing or for technique or
representation does he plead, as for the
aid drawing will be the student In
distinguishing the beautiful and as an
appreciation. of art. The paper is
worthy of careful perusal and is given
in full below:

Drawing Neglected.

least in Importance and the dra wing
lesson is usually pushed off to period
in the day when the child is too tired
to get very much out Of anything or
has not settled down sufficiently to
concentrate upon anything better. We
| know that large percentage Of teach
ers would be delighted if drawing were
taken out of the curriculum, in fact
many Of our eminent educators whisper
among themselves that unless drawing
can be made more valuable it should
be dispensed with and agree with
them, except 1 think they should have
the courage to come out and say 1t
openly.
In the vast majority Of our schools
drawing is of very little use to any
save few talented children. 1 am very
glad however. that do not have to in
clude Ottumwa schools In this list. Let
place in the curriculum. The movement
to that effect gained little headway un-
til after the civil war, and the plea for
establishing it was that writing would
be vastly improved on account OF the
greater skill acquired through draw
ing. We did not have to wait for DR..
Thorndyke and his work on the trans
fer Of training for with the introduc-
ton of the Spencerian system of pen
manship and the various improve
ments upon it since, drawing ceased to
be a function as an adjunct to writing.
However, 1t was continued as a train
Ing for leisure accomplishment. This
it may and does become for very
small percentage Nevertheless this was
not considered sufficient grounds for
keeping drawing In the schools, SO a
new and far more vital reason has been |
advocated and that Is drawing. not for |
skill or technique or for representation, |
but as a means to art appreciation.
But is drawing the best means to art
appreciation? Does drawing cylinder
below the level Of the eye help us to
select better wall paper? Does drawing
onions or. potatoes further our appre-
citation Of Leonardo? In other words Is
drawing worth while?
The Practical Side.
Let us look at the problem from a
practical side. We have often had the
experience when making a purchase,
that the good, the artistic thing Is so
expensive that we must buy something
ugly instead. This it can be proved, Is
a wholly unnecessary state Of affairs. !,
For example, not long ago visited
furniture factory and saw two mahog-
any tables. One was an exquisite thing,
very simple and beautiful IN line and
proportion. The other was wretchedly
designed, over ornate and full OF FAULTY
lines. The good table had fewer pieces
in it. required no more time or skill, or
no more expensive material than the
ella borate ugly table. yet It cost Just

NO OPTION FOR RAILROADS.
Must Carry Beer Wherever Of
fered for transportation.

Washington, Jan. %. = Liqu-
or interests today won far reach
ing victory in the supreme court
by a decision that railroads must
carry beer when offered for tran
sportation into dry" counties OF
another state. The decision eff
fected particularly shipments
from Indiana into Kentucky. Jus.
tice Lurton, who announced the
court s decision, also Laid down
some limitations on jurisdiction
of the Interstate commerce COM
mission. He upheld the action of
shippers in going before Judicial
tribunals to test the Validity of
laws rather than to the commits
sion. He said that the commits
sion had jurisdiction over admin
istrative questions and matters of
fact, but the courts over question
of general law.
Justice Lurton declared decis-
ions in the supreme court had
"indisputably' determined:
That beer and other intOXicat-
liquors are the recognized
and legitimate subjects of inter
state commerce.
That no state can forbid amy

ARKANSAS SUPREME
 COURT DISQUALIFIED
Entire Tribunal Must Give Way to Special Body in COnstruing Law in Jackson County District
 Governor to Act.

Little Rock, April i5.-For the first time iii the history of the Ar kansas Supreme court, that tribun- al today certified to the governor of the state it's complete disqualiflca- tion to sit in a case at bar, and ask ed the appointment of full court of five special judges to consider the case of Ferrill vs. Keel, involv- ing the drainage district in Jackson county.
 Among other questions raised is that of the enacting clause of the bill, which contains the phrase, Be it enacted by the general assembly" :"
 The claim is set up that the en- acting clause should be, Be it en- acted by the people of Arkansas" !" in accordance with the new inia- tive and referendum constitutional amendment.
 The general appropriation bill, under which members of the Su- preme court draw their salary, con- tains the same enacting clause.
 Construing the drainage bill would involve construing the other measure, hence the court decided itself disqualified.
 The governor will make the ap- pointments at once.

Best Way to Set Posts.

After many years experience have concluded by placing the small end of the post in the ground. A post will last much longer than with the large end down. The req son for this is obvious. When limbs are cut off it always leaves a cut that holds more or less water and where worms have worked the holes are always downward. These poles hold some moisture, but by placing the top end down this moisture runs out and leaves the post dry.
 At first thought it looks as though the post with the large end up would not make a good appear lance. However, says an expert in Farm and Home, l have generally found that the large end is the straight end and frequently there is crook at the small end. If this be placed in the ground, the fence, when completed, looks much bet ter l also have found that small posts for wire fence last longer than large ones, for they do not hold moisture as long. A post should never be reset until it is we'll seasoned. The end posts should always be placed in con- crete; then there need be no brac- ing or anchors used.

Cuba's Difficulties.

Only ten per cent of the land in Cuba is under cultivation. About forty per cent of the people live i'll towns and cities, and the product live power of large part Of this urban population is very low; but, with nine-tenths of the soil lying | idle and no inconsiderable portion of the population in state not far above idleness, Cuba has foreign trade of two hundred and fifty million dollars a year, which sug-
 gests how literally nature has treated the island. Natures most bountiful gifts in the way of soil and climate, however, often have a string tied to them. Generally speaking, man works best, both in-
 dustrially and politically, when
 half frozen and in imminent dan-
 ger of starvation. To get the chief
 necessaries of life food and shelter
 with very little effort is not, as a
 rule, conducive to thrift or to sta
 bic views of government.
 A surprisingly large part of Gu
 ba's wealth is possessed by a small
 class. The land is mainly owned in
 great tracts. Statements made by responsible persons as to the pre-
 valence of indulgence among the na-
 tives stagger creuriIity. There is universal suffrage; and the pro- portion of electors whose chief as sets are one shirt and one vote is Undoubtedly very large. However lunevenly or uniustly wealth may | be divided in the United States, a great part of the wealth and a great lpart of the voting power are in the same hand That this condition is favorable for the successful work ling of free government will scarce | ly be denied. It is not found in Cuba. Much wealth, in which the
 bulk of the electorate has no share,
 constitutes one of the basic diffi-
 culties of Cuban politics. Another
 difficulty is that large part of the
 business, property-owning class whether Spanish, American or Cu- ban--would shed no tears if the United States interyened.-S Satur- day Evening Post.
