that famous preacher, havidg been
unable to make his preparation for
a certain Sunday, asked the devil to
provide a preacher for him. The
devil replied: 81 will preach my
SELF" and he astonished the clergy
man by going into the pulpit and
preaching vigorous and eloquent
sermon against the devil and all his
works.
When he h ad finished his ecclesi-
astical ally said to him: ~ should
have thought you would have been
afraid to preach that sermon, lest it
destroy your influence. "No," re-
piled the devil, "it will have no
effect what ever, because l did not
believe a word OF it myself"
The number OF individuals is legion
whose words have no effect because
there IS nothing back of them to
make them effective. ~ don't see
why tina, man doesn't have more
success with the boys in his class"
said a certain person in speaking Of
a teacher. ~ have been in his
classroom and heard him give such
spleudid talks" The answer came
with little laugh: 1.-The talks are
good enough, but they are about 40
valuable as postage stamps without
mucilage-nothing back of them to
make them stick"
Actions speak louder than words.
The most eloquent speaker tails to
impress, il his deeds run caunter to
his speech. It's the man whose
actions back up bis speech who
is most efecsive-no matter where be
lives or what he does.
1t is said that when Theodore
Roosevelt resigned as assistant
secretary, Of the navy, at the begin =
ming OF the Spanish war, his friends
protesed. His reply was typical Of
the man: IL have done as much a.
anyone to bring on the this war, and
now that it has come I'm going to
help fight it," And he gave up his
official position in order to organize
the Rough Riders.
A man may not re,,udiate his note
more than once in the business

WOULD IMPROVE SCHOOLS.

superintendent Davee Offers susses.
tions To District Trustees
The meeting of school trustees
from the several districts in Chou
teau county which was called by Miss
Flanagan, county superintendent, was
held in the assembly % Of the
county high school Saturday, and was
a decided success. The principal
speaker al State Superintendent H.
A. Davee, of Helena, whose remarks
were given close attention. His talk
was full of sound advice, and by the
number of questions propounded by
his audience it is believed much good
to u schools is assured.
Superintendent Davee suggested
many methods Of improving the pub
lie schools, among which were var
ious plans to encourage q school spir-
it among children and parents. The
raising Of potatoes and awarding
small prizes was proposed as a means
conducive to this result. Among the
girls. sewing prizes could be awarded.
This plan would also aid in bringing
the people of Chouteau county to-
gether in an exhibition of the pro-
ducts at the county fair. the winning
exhibits to be sent later to the state
fair. A unique suggestion was the
raising of three or four hogs, as an
experiment by the entire school, the
proceeds to go toward the purchase of
library books, or the identifying of
the school grounds.
Superintendent Davee announced a
few things which his department will
urge during the next few years. One
of the proposed reforms is a central
board of trustees for an entire county,
to remove some of the complaints due
to existing cumbersome methods. II
is also proposed to establish a system
of grading rural schools upon equip.
ment, buildings, general appearance
of school grounds, etc., and whenever
a school attains a certain percentage
of merit it will be awarded a bronze
plate, diploma or some other method
of certification. Mr.. Davee also fav-
ors the advance of state aid to dist
| riots that are too poor to maintain a
nine months school term.
Prof. j. H. Hoist, of the Bozeman
agricultural college, addressed the
meeting at length upon the advisable.
ity of transporting pupils to centrally
located schools.
The ideas advanced by the speakers
were interesting to all who desire
better schools, and the county super
intendent is to be commended for
bringing the district school trustees
together for such a purpose.
