Just the Thing for Teachers.

The State Summer School, ad-
vertisement Of which appears in
another column of this paper will
be largely attended by teachers
from all portions of the state. The
State College at Orangeburg is an
ideal place for this gathering of
teachers, being spendidly equip
ped for agricultural and vocation
al work, which will be attractive
features of the courses outlined.
Some Of the leading and most ex-
perienced instructors Of the state
have been invited to places Oh
the faculty and facilities for their
work have been provided for in
appropriations by the Legislature
and the Slater Fund. The State
Department of Education has
given its hearty endorsement to
this project. and several of the
county superintendents have sig
nified that they will not reissue
certificates to teachers who do
not attend. These incentives
should largely increase the enroll
ment. and it is hoped that all
progressive teachers will make
arrangements to be on hand when
the roll is called on June 10Th.
The school will last four weeks.

NO MONOPOLY OF TROUBLE.

Japan has its naval scandal, in
volving a proposal to impeach the
whole cabinet; France has a peculiar
ly malignant cabinet crisis; Great
Britain has an incipient rebellion on
its hands, and Germany's peace is
disturbed by suspicious of Russian de-
signs. Evidently, we with our Mexi-
can problem have no. monopoly of
trouble, nor more than fair allot-
ment of the worlds present pertur-
bations would make our share. Some
times there is a temptation to think
that our affairs are badly ordered,
that the perplexities we are in the
midst of only testify ineptitude or
worse in our statesmen. But if our
troubles measure their culpable
laundering, surely they might plead,
in beholding the troubles of other
nations, that their genius for blund-
ering is no more consummate than
that of men who, in similar positions,
have won high reputation for wis
dom. Fatalism is hardly the philoso-
ply to bring to the study and dis
position of our problems; still one
may think of them as of evolutional
authority that is as capable of solv-
ing as of causing them at its ap-
pointed time.-Arizona Globe.

NEED OF BETTER SPELLING.

There would be something amusing
in the fact that the superintendent of
education and the board of education
of New York city have appealed to
merchants of that city to inform them
of any errors in spelling made by
former high school students now in
their employment-something almost
ridiculous If it did not contain an
element of pathos. The admission
contained in the plea does not inn
peach the public school system, but
doesn't it admit to some degree the
charges recently made that the New
York city schools are turning pupils
out of the high schools that are not
equipped with the accuracy of knowl-
edge that should be had by the gram
mar school pupils? On the side of
the school authorities it might be
said that such an inquiry could be
taken as a method of practically dis
proving the charges, but why should
not the school authorities be in a
position to challenge the correctness
and the fairness of the gravamen
There has been too prevalent i'm
preston Of superficiality for the cred
it of the public school system-a too
eager desire for showing among
some educators of results to the det-
riment of efficiency. A closer in
spection of the New York school room
work by the superintendent of in
struction ought to tell him whether
the system there was defective. The
authorities of the great city have ex-
posed the weakness of their position
by calling for assurances of conf
dence.-Syracuse journal.

SCHOOL ALL YEAR?

It is unlikely that the present q m
Grafton of school children may bf af-
fected by IT., but those to come may
perhaps listen enyiously to tales of
the good old days when school lasted
only eight and nine months year.
There appears to be decided set in
certain educational quarters, not,
however, it may be remarkaed
among those actually engaged in
teaching, to foster all agitation for
school all the year round. The Chi
cago School Review is the latest ad-
yocate. 1t puts it this way: ''If a
private corporation had a chain of
plants valued at s2,O0O,OOO,OOO occu-
pied in production but 1000 hours, six
hours p day for 1855 days, the man.
.ager would estimate his, annual loss
in the neighborhood of $4,000, ,O0O."
Leaving that declaration to soak in
It goes on to assert that longer school
Jays and sessions, in the cities, at
least, are needed to keep the children
out of mischief and properly employ
ed and disciplined. The farm chores
and household tasks used to do that,
but no more. Boys and girls are ex-
posed To idleness and vicious influ-
snce on the streets in the long even

Yet what parent recalling his or

iayless childhood? Do these stern
theorists never think of their own
childhood? They are always plan
ning and scheming to encroach on the
liberty of the child and its home life.
Possibly their next demand would be

I oh, yes, the tariff has brought

BAMER AND FARMEk.

The agricultural committee of the
Colorado State Bankers association is
conducting the work. AS basis for
future action along helpful lines, in
formation from all the farming sec

as to the kinds of crops raised and
the kinds of farming methods en-

through comparisons with other
places, what Improvements may be
made in these respects.
This is movement that requires
energy and consumes time; bankers
are busy men; and the undertaking
of this work by the bankers of this
state is an evidence of their broad
citizenship. In every community the
bankers deal with important prob
