WHAT SCHOOLS
COULD Do

Schools should teach the practical
and real things of life The disgrace
full fire waste and the sacrifice OF
property, lives and limbs to the fire
fiend constitute one of these real
things OF life. Thru a strong program
on this day, occasional lessons and
talks by teachers and citizens, scho-
lars can be taught the facts of need
less less of life and property. They
will thus learn, that most of the fire
waste is preVentable, that it is
loss to all and increases the cost of
living for all. They will also thus
be aided in forming habits of care
in the handling of materials liable
to cause fire, and taught the impor-
tant principle of responsibility to
their neighbors and fellow men, and
so be ever watchful not to endanger
them or their property. Fire drills
and lessons on What to do in Case
Of Fire should never be neglected.
Send committees of scholars thru
the school buildings to discover and
report defective conditions and dan
geroas practices. Ask them to in
spect every room from cellar to at
tic in their own homes for like pur
pose. Let the child become the tea.c
pose. Let tn echild become the teach
er be the leader Of thought and &C
ion in this important conservation |
movement, and let every day become |
fire prevention day
The excellent ANIMALS of this year /
and last, published by the State Sup !
furnish valuable sugges-
tons and materials for Fire Proven
ton Day programs.
We viii aid wherever we can, in
whatever way We can.

The most successful business men in
our cities are those whose scanty edu-
cation embraced a thoro knowledge
Of simple rules and studies. but whose
necessities have since demanded yigj
orous thought, incessant industry and
the best use of every resource Of
mind and body. The hotbed system
Of education enfeebles rather than
strengthens. Only a few require the
classics, astronomy or a knowledge
of the dead languages.

be matched by the states accept
ING the proposition, to establish as
rapidly as practicable d skilled farm
adviser in every agricultural county,
a permanent public fixture for the aid
OF the agriculturist and the educator
Of his particular community. The
appropriation is apportioned on the
OASIS OF percentage of agricultural
population and the gradual increase
of interest in the work and the adop-
ton of the plan. The scarcity of
competent advisers was another rea-
son for the gradual increase instead
of attempting to establish the system
generally.
The demonstration, or advisor, or
whatever he may be termed, is regard

educational plan inaugurated by the
establishment of the Department of
Agriculture, followed by the creation
Of the state agricultural colleges fl

LINCOLN SCHOOL BUILDING.

From the last published proceed
ings We note that J. C. jacobson,
the architect and builder, has been
engaged to take charge and superin-
tend the fixing OF the Lincoln school
building On inquiry and examinatio.
We learn there is a little sagging in
the timber trusses of the roof in
that building which support the roof
and sustain the ceiling of the audi
ence room which is so feet square.
The seasoning of the timbers and
the heavy weight is telling on the
trusses and the School Board are
showing wisdom in looking after this
without delay. While there is no
immediate danger it is always best
to look after these matters promptly,
before any damage can occur. We
understand it is the intention to add
to the present timber trusses, iron
trusses that will make them doubly
strong and secure The work will
be done during the summer vacation
and the iron work will be ordered i'm
mediately. 1t will cost somewhere
near 1000 to do this work we'll and
we hope those who have it in charge
will see that it is we'll done so that
it will stand as long as~the build
ing does

a mistake to teach children a little
of everything and nothing thorOty.
About all education can do for
man or boy is to set him to thinking
for himself The germ Of originality
in the individual needs cultivation.
needs stimulant. The head crammed
with other peoples ideas has little
room for its own thought Many a
boy is so thoroughly schooled that
the common sense, the will power, the
self reliant manhood, is driven out
of him. A load of facts with no edu-
cation in their use is of little value.

The visit ON Saturday of the pope's
brother, Angelo Sarto, postmaster Of
the village of Grazi, was one of the
tenderest episodes of the sick room.
There is a difference in age between
them of only one year, but Angelo,
with his robust frame, seemed tel
years younger than the pope, who ap
peared thin, languid and pale. The
Lustere Marchiafava, who was pre- ent
1t the meeting declared that the seen
was so touching that his own eyes
were wet The presence of the mem
bers of his family around him has
inspired the pope with new yigor.

Saturday might indicate that there
Aas been no recurrence Of unfavor-
Ible symptoms.
