Blue Back Speller

A writer ina the New Orleans
Times-Democrat comes out strong
ly for the restoration of the "Blue
Back Speller," a text book that
the Georgia legislature only recent
ly restored to the public schools
of that state. 1t isn't maudlin
sentiment with this New Orleans
citizen. This is his testimony: 81
had two boys in the public schools.
When one of them reached the
eighth grade and the other the
high school, realized that neith-
or could spell. l took them in
hand myself of evenings and we
fought the matter out with the
Speller IN use to little or no pur-
pose. Then [ went down town and
bought BLUE Back Speller' and
began drilling the boys with 1t.
The result was astonishing; that
winter their spelling improved SO
per cent. 1t is common knowledge
that our present-day children can
not spell correctly. fla condition
like that arose in business, we
would investigate thoroughly and
never stop until we corrected it.
Why can't we do the same thing
in our schools?
''The trouble seems to me that,
in pedagogic atfairs,ss we have
drifted far a6eld in the realms of
theory, so that practical results are
Disappointing. 1t may not he the
teachers who are to blame for this
it may be the system of select
ing text books in vogue in our
public schools. The teachers may
know some of these books are i'm
practical and unfit, but the teach
ers have very little to say about it
and are obliged to use the books
specified whether they like them
or not. What we need is to go

Would some of the wood cut

Would some of the wood cut ters of this territory who have been paying the government 25c. per cord for the privilege of cut ting wood on the public lands req lize discrimination there is made between them and the man who has capital enough to open up a coal nine. Under the terms of the coal leasing bill, the coal op- orator is required to pay 2 cents per ton for the privelege of min ing coal on the public land, and that coal reputed to be the best quality of coal in the U. s.
 A ton of coal for heating pur- poses is easily the equivalent of three cords of wood. therefore
 the wood cutter is obliged to pay more than 37 times as much for the privelege of cutting wood as the coal baron is for mining coal off the public domain. Great has proved conservation! The moun- tain has labored to bring forth a mouse. The royalties collected from tho coal barons will not pay for it's collection, and under the provisions of the bill they will be enabled to secure & fifty year lease.

 lessons in the philosophy of So-

NEGLECT OF the Scalp.

Inheritance has something to do with
badness. Men in family usually
have a disposition to get bald at about
the same age. Certain scalp diseases
cause badness. but the largest factor
in badness is neglect. The scalp is
exceedingly dirty In the average run
of men and boys If any other six
inches OF skin were kept ms dirty as
the scalp it would be considered dis
grace There is no reason why boys
should not be taught to wash the hair
with soap and water every day. then
dry and brush il well As soon as the
boy gets old enough TO wash his ears
and to keep his face clean down to
the collar line he should also keep his
scalp clean. II the hair after wash
ing is too dry a little grease can be
used. Following this plan there should
be no premature badness. Generally
the horse is out before the stable door
