The Scholar in Politics

Surely the scholar is now in politics
Woodrow Wilson is credited with ten
published works, among these his
five volume History of the American
People, and the volumes on Con-
gressional and Constitutional Govern
ment. Numerous magazine articles are
to be added to the list. However
books were to be expected of him
as he was a college professor and
President.
But President Taft has six volumes
to his credit and various magazine
articles. His publications are mostly
upon legal and political themes.
roosevelt leads the procession, how
ever, with thirty-four published
books. The most popular of these
are his books upon Hunting. Several
of them are historical studies. Aside
from these they are on political too
les. After writing these he took to
Editorial work. There is certainly
political hope for the man of literary
tastes and habits.

this work will put himself in the at
utude of a learner and become
more critical in the acceptance Of
cut-and-dried methods.
4. Practice Teaching.
A soldier never knows just hoS
il will feel to be under fire until lie
has been in battle. Likewise a pros
pective teacher does not know Just
how he will appear when he faces
class for the first time. Teaching is
an art which muSt be learned by
patience and practice and the most
promising young person may make
mistakes in his first attempts. Teach
ing under the guidance Of an exper-
fenced critic Is one Of the most val
able and indispensable features CT
any course in the preparation Uf
teachers. Even teachers OF some ex-
perience will find that work under Il
skillful critic is we'll worth while.
Some latitude should be given for
on the part OF the stu
dent teacher and-the criticism must
be positive as we'll as negative.

Why Boys and Girls Do Not Go to
School
BY D. Walter Morton

This question has given me con-
siderable thought the past two
years and i have talked with
number of young folks asking them
to give me their reasons why they
think boys and girls do not want 70
go to school. one of the first an
swers given mo was, that students do
not realize the value of an educa-
ton. The answer to this question you
will find in another column where
the real value and usefulness of an
education is discussed. The editorial
also discusses this matter.
One of the saddest cases / know
is that of a young person of my ac-
Cuaintance who has had all the ad-
vantages of a large city school sys-
tenn and who has failed to take ad-
vantage of this privilege. At eight
cen years of age this young per-
son is unable to find position simp-
ly thru lack of preparation, and lack
OF preparation is due to want CT
energy and appreciation.
In putting this question TO two
young folks / said, "Do you not
think 1t is because boys and girls
are lazy and indifferent that they
do not go to school and better pre-
pare themselves to do life's work?'
Immediately the two young folks that
] had addressed said "No. 1t is not
lack of interest and indifference, but
really because they do not know
any better"
Such an excuse may have been
given fifty years ago when such
schools as Berea College were only
beginning and when all thru the
mountains there were few schools,
and poor ones at that. With the
advantages of today the excuse,
'they do not know any better" can
not be given.
Last spring took a trip thru three
OF the mountain states Of the south
and | actually came across two diff
ferent cases where the parents OF
the young people stood in their way
and would not let them go to school
to receive an education, and per-
haps this is one reason. and a true
one in many instances in the past
and in the case of the two young
folks whom / have mentioned above.
The parents of these young folks
said, "All the learning a girl needs
is a dishpan and hoe-handle" and
they have been keeping their daugh-
tor from study SO far as they were
able by hindeiipg her in every way.
! am able TO tell you that that
young lady, because she intends
having an education. will this fall
have TO leave home and never re-
turn, but how much more useful she
could be in her home community with
her education and training.

3. General Pedagogy.
A knowledge Of principles is neces-
Sary for success in any art or science.
A teacher may sometimes meet with
some success without much training,
but such success is always duo to
his unconsciously following methods
directly in harmony with certain
fundamental principles. While an ex-
haustive knowledge of psychology Is
not necessary in order to succeed as
a teacher, knowledge of the more
elemental facts OF our psychic life
and their educational application will
give one independence of judgment
and a resourcefulress which can nevei
be attained by the teacher who Is
not sure of his ground. Someone has
well said that American pedagogy has
been "water-loggcd in the sea OF
opinion" Now one mans opinion Is
as good as anothcr's and 1t is only
careful Investigation that counts in
education as in other sciences. Il
great deal Of excellent work has
been done in recent years to put
pedagogy on a scientific basis. The

of a painfully embarrassing ac-

AS he pulled his hand from his

fell to the floor. He paid the bar
ber the customary fifteen cents
though they do say as how he
looked like just twice that amount
as he picked up his first aid to
the thirsty" and hastily left the

The Glorious Fourth.

The Fourth was celebrated in

highly patronized by local cele-
brators-with the odds in favor
OF the latter resort, where a two
day program was pulled off

tween here and the Agency-but
outside Of that, everything went
off smoothly and everybody had

warrant charging him with as
sault with intent to kill, the com

1t seems that Helm and Me
Cormick were on their way to
work on the Meridian road west
of town, both securing passage
in the same wagon. just before
they got outside of the city linz
its, an alteration arose between
them over a pipeful of tobacco,
and, in order to give emphasis to
bis remarks. Helm smashed Me
Cormick over the head with
s'ugletree, ini'iicting nasty
wound and rendering the Irish
man Unconscious. The injured
man was hurried back to the
heart uf the city, where restora-
tives were administered and band
ages applied, and it wasn't long
before he was able to swear out a
warrant for his assailant.
Helm was given his preliminary
hearing before Justice Prindiville
Saturday afternoon, and was
held to the circuit court in
$500 bonds, which he furnished.

HAVE YOU
Purchased a Copy of "The Ii
lac," Yet?-If Not, Why Not

As almost everyone who lives
in Sisseton is aware, the Junior
class Of the Sisseton High School
got out an annual, this year,
the first one ever gotten out by
the students of the city schools.
The name of the annual is "The
Lilac but had it been labeled
"The Pippin," or "The Peach, Z"
it would certainly not have been
misbranded, as it is one of the
most creditable little publications
ever gotten out by the students
of a high school in a town the
size Of Sisseton. Everyone
who has taken the time to
look over "The Lilac" is agreed
that it is all right in every re-
spect, and a credit to the city,
the schools and the editors. But
the question naturally arises,
"Have you bought copy of it,
yet?" If you haven't, don't you
really feel as though you had
ought to do so, and thus lend
encouragement and assistance to
the boys and girls who are re-
sponsible for it's publication i?
"The Lilac" has been placed on
sale at the Red Cross, the Rexall
and the Economy drug stores, and
you are invited to call and make
your selection-while the assort-
ment is complete The supply is
limited, and the editors inform
us that there will be no second
edition.

Matters Concerning the Law

Washington, D. c., July H.

ashlngton, u. w., July IL
The question of better protec-
ton for the migratory game
birds in the United States has been
under consideration before con-
gress at the present session, and
the antiquated objection to the
interference with the rights Of
the states has been urged
against the proposition that the
Department Of Agriculture be
given authority in the matter Of
fixing closed seasons for mi
gratory game birds, such as wild
geese, wild swans, brant, wild
ducks, snipe, plover woodcock,
quail and wild pigeons. Mr.. Coop
er, Of Wisconsin, made the state
ment on the floor of the house
that he could recall the
time when wild pigeons "flew by
the millions, and the heavens
were darkened by them He said
that he had read recently OF a
reward of a thousand dollars be
ing offered to anyone who would
furnish a male wild pigeon. He
added that there is a female wild
pigeon in captivity in the Zoologi-
cal Garden in Cincinnati, and that
an attempt was being made to Sc
cure a mate. These birds have
been practically exterminated
They, ike the buffalo, have prac-
tically surrendered their exis-
tence TO greedy hunters. In the
debate it was pointed out that
the antelope is also rapidly be-
coming extinct, and that deer
exists only in certain portions OF
the country. A western congress
man took a rather amusing view
of the game proposition, declar-
ing that under federal spervision,
game, if migratory, ceases to be
game when it crosses a state
line wherein it is now protected
by state laws, and by reason OF
it's own movement, becomes inter-
state commerce. He further at
tempted to obscure the issue by
stating that federal supervision
would make it necessary to prove
whether or not wild birds We're
residents Of the different states,
and declared that he could not
see how this could be brought
about unless by affidavits from
the creatures themselves. The
governors and game wardens of
the country have been consulted
and most Of them have approved
the proposition for federal SUI
pervision. In the debate it was
clear that the disputed power of
the government in this matter
does not rest upon any valid foun-
dation.
