MODERN BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS.

When Sam Jones grew sick and tired
Of the farm years ago or Young Sam
married and wanted to farm 1t on
shares Old Sam was won't to come to
town. buy out grocery or hardware
store and run it. In those old days
he used quite often get away
with it. It's different nova lays.
AS German butcher expressed
it the other day when some
one said that he had the reputa-
tion of being able to make money any
where, Veil. if a man knows his bust
ness right and will work at it he can
make money everywhere. 1t isn't so
much the town as the man and the
way he knows what he is doing. A
man who doesn't know his business or
who won't work at it neffer makes any
money anywhere unless he finds some
body's pocketbook."
Now that's good homely philosophy
drawn from straight hard experience.
Time was when 95 per cent of all who
started in business failed. That was
when the Sam Jones took business
without any sort of preparation or
training. Nowadays it is beginning 10
be understood as a principle that the
man who has to learn q business in
competition with others who know 1t
better wait until he knows il before he
invests his own money.
That is straight goods about the
Town. Most towns are good towns
where the business men know Their
business and work it it, All towns
would be poor towns where men
dropped into one business or another
as necessity or circumstance forced
or suggested. The difference in towns
is the difference in their men and the
knowledge and industry Of the men.
Every young man who looks forward
10 business career ought TO write the
German butchers ultimatum in his hat
ing of what YOU are trying to do and
working at it. And that is just as true
of the professional man and the farm
er. Once anybody who couldn't teach
school or sell lightning rods or any
Thing else successfully went to farm-
ing. Not now, be it noted. not now.
Learn your business. Work at il.
The know how and industry are the
only things that pay dividends in this
year 1873. Ammo Donin!.

THE MODEST scRcoLMAAM.

School IS out for day and the
teachers have gone to Des Moines to
meet in state convention-that is
large number of them are gone to the
capital while others have grabbed the
day for a flying visit here or there, to
run over wardrobes never too elaborate
and to do little odd jobs that are hard
to find the time for while school is 60
ing on. It's a pretty good time to talk
of teachers behind their backs.
We scarcely appreciate our school
ma'ams and the work and the kind Of
work they are doing for us. The men
of us incline to turn the care and con-
troll Of children over 10 our wives The
wives in their turn find the school

years come and the schools improve
tiles and lessen the authority of the
schoolma' am. We insist that she shall
keep our children up to the mark in
their studies. that they shall not be
crammed or crowded, that she shall in
culcate morals and that the influence
Of the school shall obtain twenty-four
hours out Of the day. We are coming
more and more to depend upon the
schools and the schoolma'am for much
that belongs strictly to the home.
And she never fails US. Her trust is
not betrayed She fights bravely away

fault. The boy was as God made him
-"handminded." He will never learn
grammar and arithmetic and geogra-
ply to amount to much. He doesn't
care a whoop whether the minute men
defended Lexington or went fishing on
the bridge at Concord but he has the
making Of a mechanical draughtman
and might be afforded a start and OPP
portunity. Every child born in the
United States has a right to chance
at the highest usefulness Of which he
is capable and it is a paying PROPOSE
ton to see that he has it.
The United States bureau Of educa-
ton reports on school created to offer
the "handminded' pupil as good
chance as the language minded" one.
Cleveland was one of the first cities in
the United States to make a distinction
between the two types of children
those who take to books and those who
do not. In Cleveland, as in most
American cities, about half the chill
dren have been leaving school in the
sixth grade. The Cleveland school au-
thorities saw that much Of this waste
was due to the attempt to force alb
stract intellectual effort on boys and
girls whose interest was in doing
things. The elementary industrial
school was meant to meet this stu
alton. To it boys and girls We're ad-
United if they were over Is years OF
age and were two or more years behind
their grade in school.
In this school one-half Of the time
is devoted to English, maths ma tics,
geography history = the two in close
ccnnection-and to hygiene Of thor
oughly practical character. The re-
manning periods are given to manual
and industrial work-including shop
work-to domestic economy and gym
nasulm practice. A poll of the pupils
showed that with the girls cooking and
sewing were favorite subjects; with
the boys, mechanical drawing and
wood working. In other schools OF the
same type which it is proposed to have
in ClevelInd, it is probable that the
course will be extended to include a
year or more Of definitely vocational OF
trade school work, in preparation for
specific employment.
The school has been successful, even
in the face of adverse conditions. Inc
enrolment has doubled in the past
four years. Pupils who had long
since lost interest in school work OF
any kind, some to the extent OF being
known as "dulIards and incorrigioies,
have become eager and alert, not only
in the hand subjects, but in the
academic work as We'll.
In speaking of the Cleveland work,
Prof. w. n. Hailmann, author Of the
bureaus bulletin, says:
The ordinary school was born
among and for the language minded.
Intellectual and physical culture-not
manual self expression and economic
insight was it aim. The Industrial
worker was practically excluded from
| it; he had no leisure for it, no time TO
engage IL. its play. This one-sidednese
still clings to the school, and it Is hard
| TO eradicate.
The Cleveland Elementary Indus
trial School may not offer the best
general solution, certainly not the only
solution, Of the problem; but 1t does
offer a solution that lies in the right
directin, and one which is at least
promising beginning

A Marshalltown school ma'am who

her pupils. why that boy can draw
any piece of machinery he ever saw
and get it right, but he simply doesn't
seem able to learn books or else / an
unable to teach him"
It wasn't the school ma'am's fault
1t wasn't the boys fault or his parents

BAKER MAY SUPPORT

Baker, Ore, Jan. 25.-Whether
Baker will become a member of the

that the people give II. Today at the
luncheon at the Geiser Grand hotel
number of basebai. enthusiasts were
present and showed considerable in

The matter was brought to a head
when H. J. O'Borman, acting as
chairman of the meeting, appointing
chairmen for four districts in which
the city was divided for a special
canvass. Upon this canvass which
will doubtless begin tomorrow will
depend the future of the Baker ball
team
All present expressed themselves as
heartily in favor of the team and
pledged their moral as we'll as fl
nancial support. Mr.. O'Gorman ex-
planned what the league had done
last year and what was contemplated
this year, both in the way of finan-
ces and regulations under which the
league is to run.
The intersection of Washington
and Main streets forms the divid-
ing line of the city. DR.. H. ]. Hor-

On her lingerie her expenditure is

( BY the Countess of Blankshire.)
London.-Queen Mary is not so lib
eral a customer of the modistes and
milliners who have the honor of royal
patronage as was Queen Alexandra.
AS Princess of Wales her expendi-
ture on dress was extremely low. She
and her husband did not entertain
upon large scale, but lived COMPARE
lively quiet. Hence her orders to
her modistes and milliners were nei-
ther lavish nor frequent. Though she
spends much more on dresses now
than she did as Princess of Wales,
she still spends less than the consort
OF any other great European sover-
eign. The principles of strict econo-
my instilled into her by her mother
are not easily forgotten.
Makes Dresses Last Long.
1t is not that she is not always at
tired as becomes a queen, but she
makes her dresses last longer than
her modistes like. Moreover, she does
not leave the scrutiny of her bills to
others She goes through them all
with her chief dresser, who is a we'll
trained modiste and thoroughly IA
miliar with the profits of the great
dressmakers. The result is that the
overcharges, which formerly made the
royal custom so profitable, have be-
come things of the past.
